irish ike, SASS #43615 1,058 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 So I am a devote pessimist. Instead of sending the kid with cancer to the super bowel how about giving the money for medical bills. You know something actually worth while and doing real good!

Absolutely. A bit in our Cub Scout Den passed away from a brain tumor last year. It was pretty tragic. Make a wish foundation did some really cool stuff for him involving trains. No amount of money would have saved him by then, but he got to live out a final dream Link to post Share on other sites
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 6,871 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Did they introduce the Vietnam vet during the game? I didn’t see it and I am thinking he sold the tickets. Link to post Share on other sites
Rye Miles #13621 6,260 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 They honored 4 WW2 vets who were all 100 yrs old. One of the vets brought the coin to the referee for the coin toss. It was a special moment for those guys! Say what you want about the NFL but they're trying to make amends for what Kapernick the idiot started 3 years ago! Link to post Share on other sites

Ike A laugh, a smile, and a little time where you get to forget that death is knocking on your front door is a very powerful medicine. The value of which cannot be expressed in dollars.
