The name of our team on Monday's is Bravery and no one embodies that more than Chris Edwards. The following is a short humble video interview Chris gave me today
The guy is a not only a money player but more importantly a hero and inspiration to all of us.
When I see guys like Chris Edwards it makes me insane when I hear people call multimillion dollar athletes heroes for playing a game many of us would play for free. If it wasn't for people like Chris we would all be in a whole lot of trouble.
It's so easy to say something nice about someone just for the sake of doing it. However, in this case, I know of no finer human being on the planet. Forget his abilities on a softball field. When it comes to matters of the soul and of human kindness, there is NO ONE finer on this planet than Chris. It is an absolute honor to be around this great human being. He always makes me feel better about the human condition. Chris, I'm not afraid to say how much I respect and love you for who you are. You are the BEST!!!]
THANKS JACK! THE LAST COMMENT IS JUST WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO JUST DONT GET IT. FIRST OF ALL I DONT THINK I AM ANYTHING NEAR A HERO.THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON SEPT 11 2001 ,EITHER ON THE PLANE OVER SHANKSVILLE AND ALL THE CIVILANS WHO FOUGHT BACK AND HELPED OUT AND LOST THEIR LIVES AND ALL THE 343 FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE OFFICERS WHO DIED THAT DAY THEY ARE THE TRUE HEROS. WHAT DRIVES ME TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUT IS THE NEED TO KEEP MY FRIENDS WHO DIED ON SEPT 11 ALIVE. I FEEL LIKE I CAN NEVER PAY THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY BACK. WHETHER THEY CAME DOWN TO VOLUNTEER OR COULDN'T MAKE IT DOWN AND PRAYED THAT WE WOULD HAVE THE STRENGHT TO MAKE ANOTHER DAY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE ME A HERO BUT A MAN WHO HAS A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. BECAUSE WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE I WANT TO TRY AND BE THE ONE WITH A HAND OUT FOR A FRIEND OR A PERSON WHO NEEDS A HELPING HAND TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET. GOD BLESS, THANKS FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS BUT THEIR ARE SOLDIER THAT FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM EVERYDAY. THOSE ARE THE TRUE HEROS! CHRIS

Rick, not a good move bringing up 9 11 to a fireman.
