The one thing that teams can't endure in the NFC any more is injuries. Good teams become bad teams just because they get spread thin with injuries.
If I had to identify the one skill set shared by most by the men who become part of the SEAL teams... it would be sheer brainpower.

I have a really good relationship with Bayern. I might become a coach after retirement, but with the youth teams.
