Well! I have not watched an NFL game this year, other than a snippet here and there. However, two of my favorite players from my Alma Mater, South Carolina are going head to head tonight so I have to watch. Alison Jeffery and Stephon Gilmore, 5 star high school recruits decided to stay home and play for SC.
I turned in about half way through the National Anthem and every player they showed had hand over heart or head bowed. They had 16 Medal of Honor recipients on the field and one was honorary captain and did the coin toss.
Maybe the NFL has finally realized which side of the bread is buttered. We'll see, but for one game at least. I will watch two of our local super stars, who incidentally are good friends, go head to head tonight.
