(S3) - PT #2 - Lucky Charms

[PlotzkeA]

Well like everyone I believe in skill, but I also believe in having a little bit of luck on your side. Before every game I have played since college I have touched my grandfathers navy war medal. He received a purple heart for his heroics and bravery on the battlefield. My entire life I have looked up to him as a role model, as someone who taught me how to be a man. When he passed away I was devastated. Now I play every game for him, every snap for him. He is the reason I am the person I am today. When I was a young man he always had a life motto, fight hard or die trying, and thats what I try to do every single time I am on the field. I am not afraid to get hit, or hurt. I don't give a shit about CTE or a torn ACL. I am out there for Myself, my family and my team. He taught me that nothing is given and everything can be taken, so I play like nothing can stop me, nothing can get in my way. And tasting the sweetness of getting to the Championship Game last year… Oh you bet your ass Ill be tasting that again.
