A True Champion

"Homer, I don't use the word hero very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history." -Lionel Hutz

Read this story and just try and tell me the NFL doesn't have a front-runner for its 2005 Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

This story gives us some insite on the speed judicial system. It seem as though he has changed in years since he made his mistake, but can a player on a team antagonised just as much as the early '90 Cowboys really be seen as a true superstar. Even on the field, ankle injuries don't go away especially at the most physically punishing postition. He legitimately wants to be a better person, but can he be a better or even same caliber player as he has proven he can be?

I do think Jamal Lewis can come back, actually. How do I know this? Well, because I've seen every other NFL star spending their off-season participating in an elementary school-like field day on ESPN (which, no matter how lame I feel, I will always watch for at least a few minutes). There's no way his workouts in prison have been less strenuous.
I just love how beautiful and inspiring his story is, at least according to the RB coach.

wow... just imagine what a good guy he'll be when he has all of his free time to do community service instead of staving off unwanted sexual advances
