I just heard about this amazing young man in Peter King's column in "Football Morning in America" on NBC Sports website. He is a tremendous inspiration to everyone and I believe his incredible spirit will continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to meet him. His brief life on earth has changed all those who knew him, forever. Godspeed Anthony! You were a shooting star here to remind us what a treasure this life is. Thank You!
