Just because someone has been getting by for 5 years does not mean that once his disqualifying situation becomes known he cannot be let go.

I don't think getting a major bowl assignment is "getting by." I bet Mike would love to "get by" by being assigned the Orange Bowl.

I think this guy will win his suit, embarass the Big Ten and prove wrong all those who have prejudices against handicapped people.

A person with a disability has so much more drive than one who doesn't in my book. I have met some of the most courages people and just am at awe how they continue to push themselves with so much against them.

1. Lady at my university, she had no arms, I could not help but to miss my class that day just to observe how she just got through the day. She done everything with her mouth and feet/toes. I was amazed to watch her hang her purse on her shoulder by using her lower extremities. The most facinating thing was when she left campus, she drove!

2. An avid outdoorsman loses his mobility in his right arms, continues to hunt with a bow, fish, and hunts with a gun. The list could go on.....

Each one of us knows or has witnessed the strength and drive of someone who has a handicap, I wished I had half of their strength. If they can perform the job, then let them work to be an inspiration to all of us.

I know a guy that was in a motorcycle accident and became paralyzed on the entire left side of his body. But he's all right.

HAHAHA. Get it?!? ALL right! Right not left. Right! Oh man, that's good.

Hey, I found a picture of that ref that got fired. Here it is -
