What Pat Tillman is doing for his country | | From today's Oregonian: Quote:
Here's this Pat Tillman, who grew to 5-foot-11 but lives 10 feet tall, who waited on the recruit scrap heap but became Pac-10 defensive player of the year, who went 225th in the NFL draft but made 224 tackles for the Arizona Cardinals in 2000 alone.
They offered him $3.6 million for three years, but last May he declined and joined the United States Army. Of course.
| An amazing story.
