This Cardinals team is special - and not just because they are my team. Way to go, sir!

This is awesome!!!

In my opinion, LT Harris is an awesome example of someone who did not give up on his dream, honored his commitment to our country, and worked hard to get to where he is. I hope other professional sports organizations take a page from the Cardinals, and Seahawks for that matter, book and not be afraid to look for talent at the military academies, giving guys who can play an opportunity after they fulfill their commitment. Since there is so much money on the line, no team could afford to give a spot to someone who can't perform, but most of the time, all these athletes want is a chance.

This is awesome. I am a lifetime Cardinals fan. The fact that they took a chance on Harris and he is contributing is great.
