My Soft Side.

I usually don't get caught up with emotion much. There is usually a time and place to catch a man getting a lil' choked up. After reading this upbeat story, I couldn't help myself.

Even though this is a scenario set up among two teams, the reward outweighs that immensely. It takes you a step back from the competition and superficial life, and it puts events like having a fine young person who happens to have Down's Syndrome score a touchdown into a great perspective. It is moments like these the define everyone involved from the players, coaches, and parents. I applaud the fine men and women who took a simple gesture that meant the world to this young lad.
