GiantsGuy-Good point. No need to know.Other posts here strongly implied that it was a breech of curfew rules.

I couldn't help but to take notice of Bradshaw's demeanor on the sidelines. He clearly didn't appear distressed about the situation. I understand he likely knew he'd go into the game in the second half and appreciate his support of Ware and Jacobs. But considering the magnitude of the game and how he impacted it before kickoff I would have thought he'd look a little more dejected. Bradshaw plays hard and runs mad, his physical issues concern me but at 25 I'd like to think he still has some tread on the tire. But with the Giants riding a 4 game losing streak and facing thier biggest rival for quite possibly the division how in the world could he miss curfew knowing the consequences? It's time for this kid to grow up.

Reading too much into a player's "sideline demeanor" is almost always a recipe for disappointment.  You have know idea how he felt or what his attitude was.

I never claimed to be able to channel AB's inner feelings, I was just make an observation about what I saw. On a positive note regardless of how he felt I'm not disappointed.
