This little girl asked for her daddy to come home from Iraq for Christmas.

She has only seen him for 2 weeks in the past 2 years. Poor little girl. She is so strong and understands her Dad is over in Iraq "helping people", but just for Christmas this year, she wanted her daddy all to herself.

Ill be the first to say I cried at work watching it. Sorry if its a repost, just too damn sweet to not post.

No problem admitting I got a little teary eyed. These hit me a little more now that I have a young son. Amazing story, but we can't overlook what Dock said.

A lot of these guys are selfless, a friend of mine already has 5 Purple Hearts. Several news outlets wanted to do a story on him, some wanted to petition that he's done his share but he wouldn't hear any of it, he just wanted to go do his job.

God Bless all our service men and women, particularly those injured and already called home to Heaven for their sacrifice.

He wasn't a soldier. He is a civilian general contractor making big money to go to Iraq and work. He was choosing to be away from his family for two years.

Don't compare him to a soldier who has no choice.

Humbug

Humbug indeed.

The Armed Forces are 100% volunteer are they not?

No need to crap on this story.

Uh.. the story is not about him. It's about his daughter getting her Christmas wish.

For anyone who was at the Titans game this year, when they did kind of the same thing before the game. I knew it was going to happen, and still cried like a little girl. These stories always hit me hard, and while I'm ecstatic for the little girl, it sucks that there are thousands of other kids just like her.

They volunteer to protect and defend our country while being paid peanuts. Thats pretty damn noble.

This guy saw big money in Iraq and found it more important than being with his family. Why sugar coat it?

      If I wanted to get slightly better…

      By CRA · Posted

      Personally, like most seasons, my eyes are now on the best pick possible.  Now, I know some want to win and Dave Canales falls into that camp.    What would I do?  well, I would shuffle my WRs. Last 3 weeks we our pass game has been 124, 102 and 138 yards.  A very clear step down of late. has anything changed the last 3 weeks? One of the top 2 best route runners and most reliable to just his job and be where he should be has been inactive.   While he wasn’t a high production player…..he had demands that defense actually account for a route runner.  And it wasn’t abnormal to see Bryce miss him for what should have been a pretty decent gain via a bad pass.  And he is still 3rd in receptions by the WR group despite disappearing.  the 2nd part of the shuffle would be acknowledging XL is more of a net negative than positive.  so my base 3 WR sets would be TMac and Coker on the outside.  Renfrow back to the slot.   Work in Tremayne.  Do what you want with the last spot with Horn or XL.   I say keep Horn active. and I’m not sure it’s all XL.  But he is too raw to help BY out.  He needs a QB that helps him out.  They do nothing for each other.

      Predicting the rest of Bryce Young’s career after he leaves the Panthers

      Same as here. He was never going to make it in the NFL with his limitations.  Maybe he latches on as a backup somewhere. If he got really serious about his footwork and mechanics there is a slim chance he could do better. But he hasn’t been able to so far and changing that stuff and getting to where it comes without thinking, is just very difficult to do and takes years.
