Great article. Joe's a class act.

I've been reading a lot of articles this past week about Flacco and his youth and with interviews involving his high school and college coaches, his teachers, and family and friends. Fascinating stuff. He is an inspiring figure. Wonder why it took this long for the backstory to be told by the media.

Holy shit hit the flag on the uprights from the 50 yard line? In 12th grade? Wow. Flacco is able to throw the football 80 yards.

Great, Great read!

That's the one thing I'm looking forward too with all the media coverage, all these stories you wouldn't otherwise read about if not for the extra coverage of the Super Bowl.

Flacco's just a natural talent. He's not particularly built, he just had the strength and the natural movement to throw the ball like no other. Real great story, there.

I remember a big guy here that used to play shortstop. I don't think he was known for being a gym rat, but be was strong as an Ox. He turned out okay.

If I recall correctly... he was a bit of an Iron Man, no? Something about never missing games...

Just the opposite. He was a work out freak.

"...[Flacco] hit the flag on the uprights from the 50 yard line?]"

Yeah, but can he do it from a kneeling position???

I prefer that he not

Joe and his family are class acts. I hope he plays well Sunday and gets a ring!

That's what she said. I heard he has a good arm too!

Not as far as weight lifting - and I think that's what they are getting at Houston. I remember reading how his brother & other players wondered what would have happened if he would have done more of that, because he was already so naturally strong.
