    I know both coaches involved and they are both stand-up guys who you would be proud to have coach your kid or have a cold one with.

    You'd think they could spell his name right in the caption.

    Nice story but if Patrick is a member of The National Honor Society as the story says, won't he be able to read that the fix was in on his TD run.

    He won't have to read about it. The Boston TV channels have picked up the story. He'll be able to watch the video. Something tells me that won't matter either. I'm sure it's all good. Tommy is a great guy.

    Here's the follow-up to the story. Seems to have touched a chord in the community.

    BTW - Bill Doyle who wrote the follow-up is an excellent writer who deserves better than the T&G

    Another feel good story - Listeners to Paul Finebaum and Mike Leach shows all have heard the regular caller Robert who has Cerebral Palsy
