I love free agency. Contrary to Mr. Fitzgerald's dictum that there are no second acts in American lives, Americans love second chances and get them all the time (particularly in the NFL). People complain that they don't get to know the players any more. First off, I wasn't around in those days, don't know what I'm missing. Second off, 'nobody knows anybody, not that well' (it’s a line from a movie). Unlike the moaners (who seem to spend all day calling their local sports talk shows), I like the idea that every year there's a pile of good solid players out there that you can re-tool with. Free agency gives these players another opportunity to shine out and be a star and teams an opportunity to re-configure, re-align and make anew. We forget that a guy like Jim Plunkett was a bust, a disappointment, a washout, a has-been and then he won 2 Super Bowls.
