Class Act
 

Okay, so I still think Rex Ryan is a douche and that the Jets are a team that reflects their coach's personality. BUT...

Class act by Sanchez, clearly, regardless of his skills as a QB, a good guy. Also, the story indicates that the [I]team[/I] had a moment of silence in remembrance. Despite my opinion of the coach and team as a whole, I am willing to give credit where credit is due - Classy move Rex. Classy move Jets.

Great story.

Man, cancer sucks no matter the age, but with kids it's just not fair... just not fair.

Re: Class Act
 

Wow, to say that story got me a little choked up is an understatement.

Re: Class Act
 

You'd have to be a robot for that story not to move you... absolute class act

Re: Class Act
 

Even I can't find a puppy to kick in that article. Very impressed with both the Jets and Sanchez. It's hard to believe he's only 24, yet he's so great with a young fan in a tough situation. I love when teams are able to touch, especially young fans, lives like this. The fact that the kids first wish was his two brothers stay healthy says a lot about the young man and his family. Thoughts are with them.

Re: Class Act
 

Choked up for sure here. Wow.

Re: Class Act
 

Lord bless all who are involved. Very moving story.

Re: Class Act
 

Wow. Too often you hear about athletes visiting terminally ill kids and stuff but you never hear about them keeping in touch with them or developing an actual relationship with them. Mad props to the Jets and Sanchez especially for really bringing Aiden into their lives and making his last few weeks the happiest he's had.

Re: Class Act
 

Great story

Re: Class Act
 

Good priority reminder. Great story. Tragic ending. Thanks Mark.

Re: Class Act
 

Really great story with a sad ending. May he rest in peace.

Yeah, I read that last night, and it brought tears to my eyes. Definitely gives you some serious perspective right there. Poor little guy.

I'm 8 years older than Mark Sanchez, and I can't even imagine how I would have reacted at 24 years old (let alone now) if a dying kid's biggest wish was to meet me.

****ing cancer.

Re: Class Act
 

Bravo, Sanchize. That display of class actually makes up for Rex Ryan's lack thereof. I didn't think that was possible.

Re: Class Act
 

Absolutely. The NFL needs a lot more players like him.

Re: Class Act
 

You read SOOO much bad press about sports stars, it's REAL nice to read something like that! Sanchez is OK with me......
