I confess to being a groupie of a couple of sportswriters. I can’t get enough of their witty, snarky, sharp & poignant writing. I eagerly await each article and covet it, similar to a hungry dog and a piece of meat. These writers include Bill Simmons (aka, the Sports Guy) and Matthew Berry (aka, TMR) both work for ESPN and both are tremendous at their craft.
It seemed a wide chasm between anything else I could find and read that even came close to the enjoyment that I received from the aforementioned writers, but alas, my search has found a writer. Although his writing skills are not the reason I trumpet his articles here and now, it is more the content of the stories with his writing the expensive frame to the masterpiece. I receive so much inner joy from reading his uplifting stories and articles that my heart gets so warm, I have to be careful to avoid heartburn. Zing. Ok. I. Digress.
Below find another gem from Mr. Cameron Smith over at Yahoo and his section called Prep Rally which I find to be a wonderful story of Human Spirit providing hope, compassion and character when often times these things are overlooked for the pursuit of money, a win, entertainment, etc. (i.e. – Braylon Edwards, Michael Vick (although he served his time), Plaxico Burress, Roger Clemens, Barry bonds… and the list goes on and on…)
Below find the same lovable guy Ike Ditzenberger and his amazing teammates & competitors doing a similar good deed during a JV game. Karma is a wonderful thing people.
