Two friends of mine, Herschal "Woody" Williams and Donald "Doc" Ballard, will shortly participate in today's Super Bowl. I am proud to know them, even more proud of the heroic men from all wars that they represent. The NFL players who protested the National Anthem this year represent nothing but selfishness and an incredibly phony sense of unity. They are nothing short of pampered and overindulged crybaby whineybutts, and nothing more.
