Well, to them, I say this. If you are looking for something to bet on, if you are looking for someone to cheer for, if you are looking for someone who will come back fighting each and every time, look no further. This off season for Chad Reed will again be against the odds. People will be discounting him at every turn as we lead up to next year’s season. I have seen it before and will see it again. The difference is that I know better. I know the work that will be put in and the fire that will burn bright once again. As we sit here today, we have 5 months before Anaheim rolls around yet again. 5 months of suffering and pain and rebuilding. At the end of those 5 months, the 22 machine will be ready to once again silence all of the critics. It is how he is wired. He simply won’t allow anyone to dictate his fate. Each and every time people have written him off, he has come back to laugh loudest. Are you willing to bet that he can’t do it again? I, for one, am not.
