Right Now...

...my team's MVP, Wes Welker, is being carted off the field with a knee injury and is sitting on the bench crying. My team's other MVP, Tom Brady, has three broken ribs and is playing. This game is utterly, utterly meaningless. Why are they on the field at all? Last week, we saw Jim Caldwell pass up a chance at history and forfeit the most important game of his career just because he was trying to limit the risk of injuries going into the playoffs. Now, Bill Belichick is throwing his A-listers out there for literally no reason?

Someone out there in the POB universe, please--explain this to me.
