This little girl asked for her daddy to come home from Iraq for Christmas.

She has only seen him for 2 weeks in the past 2 years. Poor little girl. She is so strong and understands her Dad is over in Iraq "helping people", but just for Christmas this year, she wanted her daddy all to herself.

Ill be the first to say I cried at work watching it. Sorry if its a repost, just too damn sweet to not post.

No problem admitting I got a little teary eyed. These hit me a little more now that I have a young son. Amazing story, but we can't overlook what Dock said.

A lot of these guys are selfless, a friend of mine already has 5 Purple Hearts. Several news outlets wanted to do a story on him, some wanted to petition that he's done his share but he wouldn't hear any of it, he just wanted to go do his job.

God Bless all our service men and women, particularly those injured and already called home to Heaven for their sacrifice.

He wasn't a soldier. He is a civilian general contractor making big money to go to Iraq and work. He was choosing to be away from his family for two years.

Don't compare him to a soldier who has no choice.

Humbug

Humbug indeed.

The Armed Forces are 100% volunteer are they not?

No need to crap on this story.

Uh.. the story is not about him. It's about his daughter getting her Christmas wish.

For anyone who was at the Titans game this year, when they did kind of the same thing before the game. I knew it was going to happen, and still cried like a little girl. These stories always hit me hard, and while I'm ecstatic for the little girl, it sucks that there are thousands of other kids just like her.

They volunteer to protect and defend our country while being paid peanuts. Thats pretty damn noble.

This guy saw big money in Iraq and found it more important than being with his family. Why sugar coat it?

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
