The Winnebago County Dive/Rescue/Recovery Team has reportedly resumed its search for a person who may have fallen through the ice behind Axletech in Oshkosh.

According to the Oshkosh Northwestern, an Axletech employee called police around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday and said he thought he heard someone fall into the ice and cry for help behind the business.

Michael Philbin was last heard from around 2 a.m. on Sunday after he talked to someone on his cell phone.

People are undoubtedly going to talk about how this will affect Joe as he prepares for the Giants on Sunday. But we should instead be wishing him well. This is one of those instances that trumps sports. This is about a father not knowing where his son is. That trumps most things.

It's another example of how sports aren't everything. Football in particular is such a popular sport in America that it's easy to get caught up in the game. The ways some die-hard fans talk about their teams, you'd think it was the end of the world if their teams lost.

But we've seen numerous instances in which an individual's personal life becomes the central story. The reality is, these coaches and players are human beings just like us, and sometimes we frankly forget that. I can't even imagine how Joe must be feeling right now. Right now, it's about supporting him while he's going through a tough time - it's not about wondering how he'll hold up against the Giants.
