7-Year-Old Football Star Meets President

Remember this kid?

That is 7-year-old Jack Hoffman, who has been fighting pediatric brain cancer for a long time.  He became friends with Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead and gained some media attention locally.  Today he met with President Obama.

Here is Jack talking about his meeting with the President.  And here is Rex Burkhead talking about the trip to the White House.  Burkhead accompanied Jack and his family to Washington. 

It's very cool that President Obama would take the time for something like this.  Hopefully this does raise awareness for childhood cancer like Rex Burkhead said.  

Friday Shakedown

I found this video and thought it seemed appropriate because of the cycling post earlier in the week.  Stretching is important before you exercise and apparently just in general.  I didn't know about this at all.  

There are some images of cadavers, so if that creeps you out, don't watch.

I was directed to this site this morning.  It is the original website for the movie Space Jam and has not been updated since 1996.  It's a nice window back to the early days of the internet.

That's it for now, more tomorrow.
