My Dad and I used to go to the Football Cardinals games in our hometown of St. Louis growing up. Then, when the Rams came to town, we became season ticket holders. He died unexpectedly on NY's eve, 1999, after we had made tentative plans (dreams) to go the Super Bowl in Atlanta should they make it. They made it, so I took my ten year old son to the game, in January 2000. The tackle sealed the deal maybe 50 feet from our seats. In the bedlam, we missed the tour bus back to our hotel. Hard to find a cab after the game, in the freezing cold (ice storm) I decided to try the metro subway. We got lost. Rode around the city for hours. Walking somewhere at 2 am, finally found another hotel, and there was a cab there. We got to our room at the original hotel around 3 am. We still talk about that night. Memory of a lifetime , and the Rams won. Thanks, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day. I appreciate your writing of sports and your empathy and passion for speaking up for others. Surrounding ourselves with positive, empathetic, and loving people is an antidote to the immorality and cruelty that currently exists all around us, led by our president. Peace.
Appreciate you, Eric, and happy Father’s Day to you, as well. You know it’s a goal of mine to leverage my platform and my work to tangibly protect the most vulnerable among us during these daunting times, and your support makes that possible. Thanks so much for the kind words and continued support!
Happy Father's Day, Matt. It's been my privilege to get to know you. You're a good man, father, son and fighter for what's right in our world. Enjoy your Father's Day. And, yes, soon it will be football season!
