PrintFootball is just one of the many things that make this country great. Today, let's take a second to remember everyone that gave their lives nine years ago today in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania, as well as those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to make sure it never happens again. Lastly, take a second to remember those who are in harm's way today to continue that fight so we can watch football, joke around on this blog, and sleep safely every night.

And
… hope to Durga that the Texans have more nationally televised games so those overseas can actually watch them.

Real nice words.
I, amongst many other of the core contributors at Stampede Blue, are officially boycotting the site due to the deplorable "leadership" of head blogger BigBlueShoe. We ask, but do not expect, support, from you, our fellow fans, regardless of your team affiliation. The ideals of fairness and respect that are the foundation of this great sport that we all love should not stop at the chalk on the boundaries of the gridiron, but should continue through to the fans and beyond. To show your support you may email dhalprin123@gmail.com at SBNation and respectfully ask for the removal of Brad Wells as head blogger of Stampede Blue. Thank You.
heh
my wife is flying to new york tonight
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Well Said, Jake
Thank you to everyone who has served, does serve, or will serve.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Let's not forget
But let’s also not forget to look forward. It’s important to remember, but not become hostages to this event.

True
We can’t let it cripple us. If anything it has brought our nation closer together and made us stronger.
As sad as it is, my heart swells with pride that our country is made up of people that will run into a burning building to try and save someone else. Or crash a plane knowing it means your death just to avert disaster. And of course, all of our troops that have risked or given their lives during this time of war resulting from 9/11.
To me, all of these things help and allow us to move forward in their honor.

Believe me when I say
As a professional expat, the more I live overseas the more I appreciate what we have as Americans (and what many Americans take for granted).

I, amongst many other of the core contributors at Battle Red Blog, are officially boycotting the site due to the deplorable "leadership" of head blogger Tim. We ask, but do not expect, support, from you, our fellow fans, regardless of your team affiliation. Were doing this because Tim tried to touch us all in inappropriate ways and didn't even offer to buy us dinner. Tim needs to be taught that NO means NO. To show your support you may email dhalprin123@gmail.com at SBNation and respectfully ask for the removal of Tim as head blogger of Battle Red Blog. Thank You. Also, we ask that BFD work on his hygiene.

This gets a huge rec from me
I just spent the day with a large group of true patriots. A reunion of Navy guys, some going all the way back to WWII. I felt privileged to be here and shake their hands, participate in their remembrance ceremony, and listen to their personal stories. What a great, great day to be an American and remember that we are right and just, and that America represents what is good in this world. Our keynote speaker is an active naval officer and he gave an inspirational speech that reminded us that we are living in a different world from what it used to be, we are at war, and we are changing still so that we will win this war. He said it with conviction and I believe him. I left knowing that we are in good hands. God bless America!

Awesome
Grandpa was a Seabee in the Pacific in WWII and My Great Grandpa was in the Naval Reserve and was in WWI. They were the reason I joined, but I didn’t go Navy cause the didn’t have infantry. Our Navy is World class and I am sure there are some good stories floating around that room!

Great post Jake...
It is a special day for us all, I wonder if they will ever decide to make it a national holiday? A day of remembrance. A day to honor the fallen. A day for our country to reflect on where it has been and where it will go. A day for most to get drunk and eat baby back ribs, but I suppose a few would actually stop to consider what happened that day, our reaction, the reaction of the world, and the way it all played out up until this day.
That stupid mosque…I hope New Yorkers fight them every step of the way if they break ground. I want that Mosque to be 30 years in the making and cost 50 times the estimated cost. I want that Mosque to bankrupt the Islamic faith for the damage New Yorkers do to it…I don’t think the unions will participate in the building of it though so it more than likely will never happen, but if it does they will need armed guards there at all hours and I wouldn’t be surprised to see riots in the streets.
These are dangerous and exciting times we are living in!
Kindly
Leave politics and/or religion out of this.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.
