Tell the Hungry Tiger Not to Bite

Telling a giant running back in full stride, inches from the line, not to score a touchdown is like pleading with a hungry tiger not to bite. Instinct, training and a huge hole opening in front of him put Ahmad Bradshaw on the horns of a dilemma, 'to score or not to score' as Shakespeare might say. Maybe it was the fact that he only had a second or two to decide what to do after Eli Manning requested the impossible. Ahmad slowed down, fighting with himself, pirouetting none to gracefully, and then backed into the end zone, buttocks-first. It was almost comical. Like a slow motion elephant ballet. I guess the bottom line is that if you are in the position to score, that's what you should do - every time. Then trust in your team mates to protect that hard-won lead.
