Me In The Locker Room

My T.C.U. Ex-Teammates & I.
I Love The Game Of Football and Scoring TD's On Every Oppurtunity and Love My Teammates. I Live in a beautiful home in the San Diego suburb of Poway. Im happily Married To My Wife LaTorsha. I Have Three Dogs: Coco, Fendi and Sweetness. Coco is a teacup poodle; Fendi is a miniature Yorkshire terrier, and Sweetness is a pit bull. My Favorite Players Of Past is Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. LaTorsha & I enjoy traveling and going to the movies for weekly date nights. Past travels have included trips to Hawaii and Jamaica, and this offseason We spent Our anniversary in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico. We also like the hustle and bustle of New York City and twice this year visited the Big Apple.My individual hobbies include playing basketball and golf. I compete in pickup basketball games at local gyms and is a member at the Maderas Golf Club in Poway. As a longtime basketball fan, I often makes the two-hour commute to Los Angeles to watch the nine-time NBA Champion Lakers play at Staples Center. In a locker room muted by the deflation that comes with a season ended prematurely in Jan., I sat on a stool, head down, his face streaked with the salt of perspiration and tears.I was, as I Always do with every defeat, absorbing as personal My Team's 20-17 overtime loss to the New York Jets 2004 of January.Through a three-deep throng of reporters that encircled Me, team chaplain Shawn Mitchell politely moved and bent down until he was near My ear."Remember, you’re going to be a daddy," Mitchell said.Up came My head. On it, a smile Mitchell recalls as nothing short of "radiant."That perspective had carried Me through the previous months, ever since summer when I found out My wife LaTorsha was pregnant with Our first child. I shared news frequently with My friends of LaTorsha’s doctor visits and sonogram images of Mckiah Renee, Our daughter.At the beginning of February, I went to the Pro Bowl, My second in four seasons in the NFL. Friends and family saw Me fairly floating, elated by the anticipation of Me impending fatherhood and the good times that defined My life."I was so ready to be a father. And then, on February 22,2004 Myself and LaTorsha found out the pregnancy was over. LaTorsha had miscarried. She would deliver the baby, but Mckiah Renee would not spend a moment in this world.And herein lies the story of a Myself who accepted tragedy the way I Have accepted blessings, and turned My focus to heaven when I lost my daughter the same way I did when I signed the richest contract ever awarded an NFL running back. 2005 We Were Eliminated from playoff contention by K.C. Cheifs 20-7. And Finished 3rd In The AFC West with a Record Of 9-7. Maybe This Year Will Be Our Year 2006.I always feel the Lord has a plan for my life. Well Their My Story and Remember God Is Always Around Us All.
