Olson emphasized that both he and Log Cabin support Romney

"Our nation needs common sense solutions to fixing our economy and creating private sector jobs and Gov. Romney will provide us with the strong leadership we need at this critical time," Ros-Lehtinen said. "Gov. Romneyunderstands that businesses need less government regulation and lower taxes. Romney is the right man for our time. I am pleased that Log Cabin Republicans is endorsing Gov. Romney. I know that all of us together will fight for equality for all Americans, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation."

Olson emphasized that both he and Log Cabin support Romney for president and marriage equality at the same time.

"Like the Log Cabin Republicans, I am proud to support Governor Romney for president, and I am proud to be an advocate for the freedom to marry," Cooper said. "This endorsement speaks to Log Cabin's principled belief in equality for all Americans, and the pragmatic recognition that our nation is in need of new leadership. Getting our fiscal house in order is more than an economic imperative – it's a moral imperative. Gay or straight, Americans deserve a president who will secure a future for our children that doesn't leave them buried in debt."

Canty said his frustration over the team’s decision lingered

While Coughlin and the players are loath to point to injuries as an excuse for the unit's drop-off, it seems that defensive tackle Chris Canty's presence has been missed more than one might have expected.

Cantywas placed on the physically unable to perform list before Week 1 in a move the team said was designed to help him recover from off-season knee surgery. That decision meant Canty would not be eligible to play until after Week 6, and Canty expressed surprise at the move at the time.

On Monday, Canty said his frustration over the team's decision lingered for about a week, at which point he resigned himself to having to sit out and began focusing on being in top shape when he is allowed to return.
