The Miami Dolphins left guard is miserable. Granted, he's thrilled for the boys, who are tied for first place in the AFC East and on the verge of getting into the playoffs.

All of that joy, however, is engulfed by disgust because he's not on the field with them. He can't even bring himself to watch the games.

"When Sundays come?" Smiley told me in his first interview since Nov. 30, the day he suffered a season-ending leg injury. "I'm very happy for the team, and I'm really proud the way guys have stepped up, but it is difficult.

IMO this is how a player should feel when he's not contributing to the team. Anything less and I don't want him on my team.

Yes he needs to be pissed off; but he also just needs to realize that he's not going to be back.

Wonder why he's not at games? maybe it would make him too upset.. or maybe there's a team rule.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

I feel bad for him. He was having such a great season and was the veteran leader on the line. He is a still a major part of this team though, even is he isn't on the field and I'm sure he's still helping the guys as much as he can.

Loved his attitude from the day he came in. He's been a great stabilizing influence on the line, gives a great interview and obviously plays to win. Bummer for me that my 2 fav overachievers, he and Camarillo went down this year.

Its hard not to feel bad for him right now. The guy is clearly a competitor, and he was having a great year out there for us. He was one of the main reasons for the early success of the wildcat. Shame he can't be out there with us as we make our run at the playoffs.
