Wow. I suppose it was courageous to leave the NFL (and turn down millions) to fight, but damn, look what it got him.

I'll post a better link once one comes up.

Very sad...

Just heard...my condolences to his wife and family.

I admire the fact that he did what he thought was right, by joining up and quitting football. Probably something I would never be able to do.

Condolences and prayers to his family.

Respect for him, thoughts for his (and all other dead soldiers) family.

Yeah grande respect for Pat. He made the ultimate sacrifice doing his duty for this country. RIP Pat.

He was a standup guy in everything that he did, and always did what he thought was right. He was one of the few NFL players worth their salary, and it's sad to see he died.

total respect for the man.

RIP.

It's a tragedy, but I really don't like the amount of publicity he's getting. Hundreds have died, and because they weren't rich, they get overshadowed?

Whatever.

I guess it's to be expected, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

It has to do with what he walked away from which was 3 million dollars and what he walked into.
post #11 of 14
That was two years ago, and now he's being treated as if he's just better than anyone else that died in the line of fire.

He obviously didn't want to be considered as such.

The little piece on Tillman they've been running on SportsCenter is very tasteful. Did you see this, Monk? It's a perfect example of the correct way to publicize this.

Nope, if they show it tomorrow, I'll be sure to catch it.

[Edit - Wow. I just saw this topic in the Politics forum... that place is scary!]

Yes it is Monki stay away from there. For your own health. I understand how you see the press handling this Monk. Par for the course my man. They run away with all kinds of stuff daily. I agree that they can overkill a story. I'm just very moved by Tillman's sacrifice. As I am by all the other sacrifices our service men make daily. Its humbling for me.
