Never Forget...

September 11, 2001 was a day that changed America and the world forever. Ten years ago today, we needlessly lost 3,000 plus lives. Countless more lives have been lost in The War on Terror. I will NEVER FORGET the events on 9/11 and I am so thankful to live in a country where brave men and women are willing to put their lives on the line to keep us free.

Never forget...

It Ain't Over, 'Til It's Over...

Sports have an incredible ability to inspire us. Whether we are watching or competing, sport has the ability to tug at our heart strings. It has the unique ability to make us cry, make us laugh, make us smile, makes us stare in complete and utter awe, render us speechless, or gets us to gloat endlessly.

The wide range of emotions that come with the game are endless. And, in the end, that is what we love about them.

There is a famous sang "It Ain't Over, 'Til It's Over...". And, when it comes to sport that sang fits perfectly. Some of the most inspiring moments in sport have come from individuals or teams whom have believed with all their hearts that "It Ain't Over, 'Til It's Over...".

No team is more inspiring to me than the 2004 Boston Red Sox. Facing an insurmountable task, Kevin Millar led the Red Sox onto the field on that fateful October night to begin the greatest four days in baseball history. The Red Sox were down 3-0 to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. The day before...the Sox were embarrassed on their home field as they were slaughtered by the Yankees. Many believed that it could not be done, but the Sox Nation and a team of idiots proved everyone wrong. The Sox went on to win 8 straight games (4 against the Yankees and 4 against the Cardinals). Impossible was not a word in their vocabulary as they became the 2004 World Series Champions.

Four Days in October is an amazing 30 for 30 documentary run by ESPN regarding the comeback of the Red Sox. Whether you are a fan of the Red Sox or not, you should experience this documentary. It inspires you to never give up. Not matter how hard your back is against the wall, it is possible to comeback and be victorious. Below is a clip of the must see, inspiring documentary.
