He looks a lot bigger, definitely. Then again, he's standing next to 10 year olds.

Joe Banner & Jeff Lurie should continue to set the "gold standard" and do an outreach program to the prisons. A few visits each and they will realize how the Bird's fans feel about seeing Dawk play in another jersey.

lynnterese: Kobe never went to college. He went to the NBA right after high school.

Digifant, you may want to take your own advice. Play60 is the NFL Health & Fitness promotion to keep kids active. It ia a promotion to help fight obesity in our children and has nothing to do with staying in school. Before you start ripping someone for doing something good by spending with kids instead of going off and getting in trouble get your facts strait.
