I know some people think sports stories that have tragedy are no more important than normal things that happen everyday, but I saw this today on "Outside the Lines" and I was really touch and yes, it brought a tear to my eye. I love the ending.

It may have already been posted, but I wanted to post it incase it wasn't.

If this was what was on earlier today about the Summerville basketball team/coach, then I too agree with you. It was a really touching story.

If you really feel that the Father is "just starting a bunch of crap" then make 100% sure that everything you report on from here on out is 100% accurate so as not to ever find yourself in this same situation. Everyone knows that the media is often times guilty of sensationalizing things to make for a better story. This particular story appears to be falling into that category. Sure it makes for a better story, but the Mother and Father of this young man are suffering heartache over it. Before you go and take this the wrong way, I'm pretty sure that you don't take this path in your broadcasting. I've listened to your broadcasts on more than one occasion and have the utmost respect for you and your talents. Just take a step back and view this deceased young man's story through the eyes of his devestated parents. They feel strongly that the widow is trying to be seen in a different light than what is true.
