    Every once in a while comes a story about a young man who screwed up, learned from his mistakes, and came out a much better person.

    That is a good story. Somebody awhile ago posted another story about an Alabama player who got into trouble during the Bear's day and how he worked his way back on to the team and eventually graduated and became a productive member of society.

    Great story. Proves a point, but many never are able to stick it out long enough.

    Interesting piece of useless information. My 5'6" 12 yr. old grandson's shoe size is 12, same as Gilyard's. I don't know what that means except that I don't think my grandson is done growing.
