When the Buffalo Bills entered their locker room at halftime Sunday, Takeo Spikes was already in there, his season crushed but his unmatched spirit still alive and well.
Spikes knew as he was being carted off the field that he wouldn't be strapping on his pads anymore this year, a torn Achilles' tendon — perhaps the worst injury an athlete can suffer — marking the end for No. 51 in 2005. But ever the leader, the "pulse" of the team as fellow veteran Troy Vincent called him, Spikes implored the Bills to move on without him because he feels that they can. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050927/SPORTS03/509270333/1007/SPORTS
