You Sir, are No Devin Hester

Those were my thoughts when the Chargers' Eric Parker fumbled that punt return in the AFC playoff game against the Patriots, because during the Bears game the day before, even though I was aghast at the way Hester kept boggling his punt returns, on none of said boggles did Hester actually LOSE the ball, and I give him credit for being able to recover from his jitters so quickly.
In fact, by the end of the game I was wondering why they don't put Hester in as a receiver some time? They could get him a short pass or set up a screen and see how many defenders he could fake out!
Football is fantastic because NO ONE gives up. The Pats defense was on its heels in the first half but the offense came in and kept firing away. Stalwart Tom said it for all the kiddies out there at his press conference, "Even though it doesn't all go well, you still have to believe in yourself and still have confidence and go out there and play."
Why wouldn't LT want to bust wide open seeing that dance at midfield after the game?
However, can someone fill me in on why he would slam Belichick at the press conference? That seems foolish, especially since he's been through the locker room and had an opportunity to prepare himself.
