Before the playoffs, five was just another prime number. Five was 15 divided by 3, a piece of paper with Abraham Lincoln's face on it. It's what you'd give a buddy you hadn't seen in a while. But that was before the playoffs, before 4th and 26, before # 5 made Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila look like Tom chasing Jerry. Now # 5 is a symbol draped in Green, leading a city of hooligans and its desperation by scrambles and a golden arm. It means rushing for over 100 yards when it ain't even your job. People expect more out of guys that wear 5. That's how big the playoffs are. They took the number 5 and made it...FIVE.
Rumors are this is the script for a new commercial in the works... I have no idea whether this is true or not, but I just thought this was very inspiring.
