With all the talk about a dedicated player being the "first in and last out," what are the odds there has ever been a standoff between two guys about who's going to stay longer? I can imagine two guys staring each other down while holding their lunch boxes while Gruden climaxes in the corner.
Yeah, I'm surprised this hasn't escalated into a public arms race with players sleeping on cots in the tape room, Joe Gibbs-style. My guess is that the term "first in and last out" has been diluted to the point where any guy who shows up for a little extra work gets the label without it being literally true. Or maybe teammates swap days to be the last man out so that they both look awesome in front of coach.
Also, I bet coach peeks in the weight room at 3 a.m. and is like, "Are you still here, Edelman and Other Edelman? GO HOME. You've scrapped enough for today!" And then both Edelmans go home, because Coach essentially declared it a tie.
By the way, on the SNF broadcast this week, they could not praise James Harrison enough for lifting weights at 4:30 in the morning. Like it made him Superman. Do you know why James Harrison lifts weights at 4:30 in the morning? Because he's fucking insane. Please don't be weird like this. Even Kobe thinks James Harrison has crossed the line.

I got a kick out of the bolded myself. And they're right. Long said that James Harrison is legit fuckin' insane. I put him in that category, along with Greg Lloyd. Joey Porter was badass...but not insane.
