OT: Doing the Right Thing...
Our youngest son Brady did something like this during his freshman year on the swim team at Detroit Catholic Central High School. It was the Detroit Catholic League Championship -- and a senior on the team had swum a relay leg for Catholic Central in the prelim heat -- only to see Brady take his spot on the relay team in the Championship final.
This senior had been dealing with the failing health of his Dad -- who was dying from cancer -- all season long.
Well Brady's relay team won the 400 Free Relay in the Catholic Championship Final -- his first high school "gold medal" -- I remember when we got home I asked "where's your medal?"
He replied -- "I gave it to ____ (this was the senior, whom he swam for in the Final) -- he deserved to have this, I know he wanted to give it to his Dad. I'll have more opportunities in the future..."
A very proud moment for this Dad.

Domer John Sullivan's Super Bowl Chance...
I'll be rooting for the one-time college roommate of my son Jimmy '08 -- they were roommates on paper before Jimmy showed up for his first day in Dillon Hall and he was moved to another room, leaving Sullivan and Trevor Laws in a room alone...
The interview above took place before the season started.
John Sullivan, in his eleventh year in the NFL, is the starting center for the Los Angeles Rams -- and one of two Notre Dame alums left in the NFL Playoffs with a chance to play in the Super Bowl.
Manti Te'o -- is on the Saints' roster -- though he was a healthy scratch for their NFL Playoff game last week...
Thus, I'm all in for Sullivan and the Rams -- here's some recent stories about John;

Chloe Agnew Reppin' Notre Dame in TEXAS!
The former member of Celtic Woman -- has adopted the University of Notre Dame as her school. Chloe flew in from Dublin (Ireland) the day before the Cotton Bowl to perform at a couple university events...
Just a couple of hours before game time, Chloe jumped up on stage at Texas Live, the sports bar adjacent to AT&T Stadium and got the ND fans in the house "fired up" with her a cappella rendition of HERE COME THE IRISH!
I love how the crowd joined in...
Chloe will be back on campus during Notre Dame Day 2019 -- April 28th and 29th -- and will perform a few times over the weekend.
Here's a video of Chloe performing Here Come The Irish at last year's Notre Dame Day celebration:
