TV:  Hard Knocks - Miami - E.2

Why the drama is so great - the difference in these guys lives if they make the team vs. not making the team is just enormous.  Money is only part of it.  It's what they do with their time.  The camaraderie.  The glory.  The joy of playing.  The status it affords.  The self confidence it brings.  The panicked look on Chad Johnson's face when he gets cut -- he knows he is 34 years old and the clock is ticking.  You could read him thinking - oh my god - this might be it.  I might never play football again.

Contrast it with David Gerrard.  His little injury - it only is for a few weeks - but he can see the clock ticking as well.  I suppose one big difference is Gerrard has a family and not a wife he met on twitter, married for 40 days before headbutting her and getting arrested.  He seems more relaxed and serene about the life.
