Brandon's First Football Game

This is my nephew, running his first touchdown at his first football game ever. I post this because I am proud of him. I post this because I love hearing his supportive parents, my brother and sister-in-law, screaming for him to stay in bounds, and I know that they will be there for him and their other son, Brian - who, not incidentally, is also a football star - always.



I post this because I know that Isiah Thomas and Michael Vick and OJ Simpson must have started similarly - talented, ripe with opportunity, buoyed by the support of their fans. But who is on the sidelines for them now, screaming for them to stay in bounds?
