Well, I had a talk with Radio with moring. I told him we’re looking at some changes. It didn’t take long to see that the more I talked, the more he didn’t understand me.

We’ve got a lot of that going on now.

When I was playing I had a coach, he used to tell me to keep my priorites straight. He’d say, “son, you figure out what’s important and you push everything else aside.”

I love football. I love everything about it.

I love Friday nights when you’re looking for a win and Saturday morning when you’ve found one!

But that’s not what’s important right now.

We’ve got ourselves a young man that we’re not thinking about.

The same young man who could hardly talk when we first met him and now he’s making announcements in the morning on the loudspeaker.

The same young man who got himself a football letter in the fall but he never wears it because he can’t afford the jacket.

I know some of you don’t care about all that Radio has learned over the last few months, but the truth is we aren’t the ones who have been teaching Radio.

Radio is the one who has been teaching us. From the way he treats us ALL the time, it’s the way we wish we treated each other even part of the time.

This movie touches my heart every time I watch it. The sadness that it brings across me isn’t for Radio. It’s for all the ignorant people who don’t realize that Radio and people like Radio are real people. The movie is based on a true story and Radio STILL coaches football in South Carolina. The fact that this kid was treated so poorly when he truly just had 100% love in his heart makes me weep for mankind. Radio became loved by his entire community and my tears of sadness turn to tears of faith.
