It was a great speech. He kept it together better than I could ever imagine in that situation. Absolutely awe inspiring

He's a good guy, and probably set for life even if he never plays football again. He probably just earned a few endorsements.

I thought he was well spoken and did a great job reciting it without cue cards. However, it went about 5 minutes long.

It could've went 20 and I would've been alright with that. It was refreshing to hear the guy speak not just about the struggles of his daughter but his struggles as a father in that situation. We don't hear near enough about the life these parents have to live while trying to maintain a positive face for their children fighting cancer.

Eat a dick. His daughter put up a bigger fight than anything you ever will. He can talk as long as he wants about her struggle and inspiring him to be better.

Yep, so honest in that situation. Talking about how he had given up, how he wanted to turn to alcohol on several occasions. But he never did and both him and his daughter are inspirations for all.

I don't like hastags, really don't even know what one is, but #LeahStrong.
