No, not me. The little fella I helped coach in Flag Football.

Took a while, but they finally found a suitable donor, his mother. Father and brother had both previously volunteered but were found unsuitable for medical reasons.

Transplant took place a few weeks ago and was a success. Mother and son are both home and doing fine. I expect to see him back on the field scoring touchdowns this fall.

Big thanks to all those who offered prayer and support when this was first mentioned last year.

That's wonderful news! Without prying too much do you know hat caused this young man's condition? I had someone very close to me that was diagnosed with a rare form of vasculitis that shut his kidneys down and needed a transplant. He was 16, president of his class, and a 3 sport athlete. Life can be very cruel so I just wanted to offer my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
