That is a true tragedy........It's so sad to witness someone cut down at such a young age. It seems that every year some young person gets killed in an accident around here. I remember well the morning after which a good friend of my son was killed in a car rollover. He was 18 and was a pole vaulter with one of my sons. Several months later two additional friends of his were killed in a car accident. I think it helps the healing process if the kids are allowed to do something to express their grief. IS there counseling available at the school for the kids? MAny schools bring grief counselors into classrooms who work with the kids and teachers. I remember the last basketball game I attended as a cheerleader during my senior year. Cheering was a big part of my life back then and I took it seriously....I made a big effort got to know the sports and understand what was happening. I instituted many changes during my 4 HS years to the sport of cheerleading..............the last game was the championship game and we lost by 2 points after double overtime.....................I was devastated but didn't show it all in public. On the scale of important things in my life I look back now and have to say it was minor, but at the time it was huge and powerful. I always say that our character will be measured mostly by how we handle the things that go wrong in our life.

ESPN's Jayson Stark raves about the genius that is Jim Leyland on Sports Radio 1130 Detroit today. mlive.com Stark says other teams, like the Cubs, are desperate for a manager just like Leyland. "Now that he's got the fire back, you can see what made him what he is. You can't name me one team that Jim Leyland has ever managed that was supposed to win, had a chance to win, and didn't win. "He's got everything it takes. He can run the game with any manager alive. But he's got all the other stuff. He's got all the psychology. He can be a tough guy and a motivator all at the same time, which is a balancing act that very few managers can pull off. In fact, the Cubs are looking for a manager. I was talking to one of their people last week, and he said 'We're really looking for a Jim Leyland type of guy. Somebody who can be tougher than what we had, but can still motivate.' Jim Leyland does that. "He went into that Yankees series, and he had all his lines down, didn't he? He knew every state he needed to run out there about how the last time the Yankees won the World Series they lost 16 of their last 19. He had the varsity against the freshmen. He knew exactly which buttons to push. Once he pushed them, he knew exactly what the reaction would be. That's genius. That's a rare quality. That's what makes guys like Jim Leyland what they are."
