Don't forget Afghanistan

A reminder that we still have troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan: Former Arizona Cardinals safety Pat Tillman was recently killed.

It's amazing to think that during WWII hundreds of athletes joined the service, they recognized that their trivial day jobs were just that. Just a strange realization of how much more just that war seemed, and how much more revered athletes of today have become. The idea of an athlete leaving his career to serve his country is astonishing, now.

I thought there might be a point lingering in this...guess not. Sort of like a sneeze that never comes, I thought I might have some insight--nope.
