Such honor and sacrifice would be lost on a vast majority of the cretin in the NFL.

Those folks just always seemed to handle such terrible things with grace and honor. Always doing what was right without asking or being told.

This is the music chosen,
Going Home Libera
"Going home, going home I am going home Quiet like, some still day I am going home
It's not far, just close by Through an open door Work all done, care laid by Never fear no more
Mother's there expecting me Father's waiting too Lots of faces gathered there All the friends I knew
I'm just going home
No more fear, no more pain No more stumbling by the way No more longing for the day Going to run no more
Morning star light the way Restless dreams all gone Shadows gone, break of day Real life…"
