choose to save a young man from being sent to Iraq. Don't care if the kid plays a down for the Lions-Matt Millen just bought some slack from me.

Seems to be a great kid and there is no doubt he knew exactly what he was signing up for when he chose to attend West Point, but didn't everybody get the feeling that the media (especially ESPN) was trying to peddle this kid or coerce NFL teams to give this kid a chance?

Hell, I hope he makes all pro, but if he doesn't at least he got a chance to live before he was asked to go and possibly die.
