In just a day, the fundraiser was inundated with donations and quickly shot past its original $50,000 goal. The organizer later updated the goal to $100,000, which was met within hours. The goal had reached $300,000 by Monday night.

Don’t know much about this kid except that he’s had a helluva season, but it sounds like he might have a pretty good heart too.

You get within 20 miles of the river and you’re basically in Appalachia. Which is why Cinicinatti is known as “the largest city in Kentucky”

I live in Silicon Valley, and I worked in Athens Ohio for over a year. My daughter was going to college in Ohio at the same time.

When we came home for the holidays, and people commented how they were poor, the two of us would look each other in the eye and say, “There is [California] poor, and then there’s Ohio poor”. We’re talking about an old mobile home at the end of a dirt driveway just off the highway at the edge of the field and bordering some thicket.

Good for him. He sounds mature and selfless. And he has a millisecond throw release.

Burrow is practicing a basic tenet that we all should remember: Never, ever forget where you came from.

The vast majority of us arose from humble beginnings, me included. Don’t forget how you did without. Don’t forget your embarrassments, struggles and disappointments. Don’t forget the important virtuous values you learned as a child or the never-ending love for family and friends. Don’t forget your faith that taught you concern and love for your fellow man. And don’t forget people you grew up around that nurtured and supported you as you grew to adulthood. Hold on to those memories and values, NOT those pushed by the media, the Marxists and leftists who want you to exchange the truth for the lies they are peddling.

Joe Burrow, I tip my hat to you young man!!!! You have the influence to make this a better world!!!

This is how you protest an injustice in your life, you rise above it and show others the way out. What an inspiration,, the NFL may have hope yet with the likes of these fine youth athletes on the rise. American Cream!

One of the best speeches ever was John Cappelletti. I have to hear his speech, since I didn’t know it was last weekend...

The last Heusman winner from LSU was Billy Cannon, 1959 I believe.

I love this Burrow kid, & I know zilch about football.

May he live long & prosper & maybe run for public office one day.
