I see your point, Kimmie, but like I always say, better late than never. As soon as I started reading the article CT4 put up, I could see his face. I remember watching the "eyes on the Prize" video in school and when they flashed Emmitt's face up on the screen, all battered and blown up, I burst into tears, asking myself why anyone would do that?
