This is what sports are all about...

Was looking at ESPN earlier, and I found this article. I hope you find it as awesome as I did. If you don't want to read it, which I really recommend you do, here's a summary:

Charlie Weis, the head coach at Notre Dame and the former offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots visited a boy who had a brain tumor and was on his death bed. Weis visited him, and agreed to let him call the first play of the Notre Dame/Washington game. Montana, who was named after the great QB Joe Montana, said he wanted them to do a "pass right." Weis then signed a football for Montana and wrote this on it: "Live for today for tomorrow is always another day."

Montana died Friday, and didn't get to see the game. But Weis stuck with his play, even though ND had the ball at the 1 yard line, and a pass is the worst thing to do in that situation. Brady Quinn, the ND QB asked Weis what to do.

When the Irish started on their own 1-yard-line following a fumble recovery, Mazurkiewicz wasn't sure Notre Dame would be able to throw a pass. Weis was concerned about that, too. So was quarterback Brady Quinn.

"He said 'What are we going to do?'" Weis said. "I said 'We have no choice. We're throwing it to the right.' "

And they threw it to the right, and the TE caught it for a 13 yard gain, leaping over defenders.

Why can't more people in sports be like this? Why do people like Warrick Dunn, who's a great person when it comes to helping charities and things like that, want the media to portray him as only a good player and not as a good person? Why does Tom Brady tell the media that he looks at pornography to get a certain "image," just because he looks like a pretty boy? This boy got his wish, and he is happy in heaven. Charlie Weis did a huge thing for him, and especially for the rest of his family, who had to overcome the fact that their son had died. Thank you Charlie Weis, and rest in peace Montana.
