Pat Tillman Killed in Action

I remember hearing about this guy a year or two ago when he decided to leave the NFL in the prime of his career to serve his country. Even then, they were talking about how it was gonna be a serious role with real implications (not some silly thing like Tiger Woods doing Green Beret training for 3 days). But I still figured it was the media hyping up a story.

It doesn't get much more real or serious than getting killed in combat fighting for your country. This man gave up millions of dollars and a comfortable life to defend all of us from the evil people in this world. Reading a story like this makes me feel so unworthy of his sacrifice and for the sacrifices of all our soldiers who give up their lives across the globe to defend our way of life.

Meanwhile, we have this little punk college kid Eli Manning who decides he doesn't want to be drafted by San Diego cause they're not gonna be winners. What kind of messed up retarded business is that?
