While all of New England was busy bashing Millar for his poor start last year, Millar was trying to overcome the fact that his wife had just miscarried. They had been trying to have a child for years. They went to in vitro. Finally, it took.
Then the miscarriage. But he didn't blame the miscarriage for his bad performance. He kept his nose to the grindstone and then exploded in the second half. According to his teammates, he didn't even tell them.
I am not all about cheering and ra-ra attitude, but Millar took a beating from the press, talk shows, callers, fans, etc...It just goes to show you that we always don't know of what we speak. For example, when Damon wasn't performing early in the 2003 season people were frustrated and took shots at him. He had just gone through, what was described as, a devastating divorce.
Millar just climbed another notch in my book. And, by the way, he's now expecting twins...
