lol @ "Me?" that's all this comes down to. you do what you would do. he did what he would do. i was surprised he played, but there's no right or wrong way to grieve. the idea of returning to work to get your mind off of a personal tragedy isn't new. and while we know the te'o story is bullshit now, he was PRAISED for playing a few days after his gf and grandmother died. why? because he played superbly and they won. AP played well, but if he had 200 yards with 3 TDs and they won this article wouldn't exist. it would be all "look at the courage".
