Well, just an alternative point of view:

Happy, happy.

''I'm pretty much prepared to take the lead role,'' Benson said. ''This
year, there are not a lot of distractions, like, 'What ifs?' ''

A prediction: Benson will do well, pounding on defenses. Jones always fell
down. Still, Benson spent an awful lot of last year brooding. And even when
he left the game during the Super Bowl, he didn't seem all that hurt.

''It was bad enough not to play,'' he said. 

You mean, you couldn't have played?

''Well, maybe I could have, but I was going to be more of a detriment to the
team than an asset.''

Well, those aren't issues in Happyville. And the Super Bowl isn't
embarrassing anymore, but motivating.

Harmless on the surface.  But you don't have to read much into it to see
what Greg Couch is getting at.  Know what I mean?
