   there is something about the almost uncontrollable joy, the men-playing-a-boys-game glee of this photo that is really affecting me right now

   I love watching players with passion for the game, and few have displayed the passion on the field the way The Kid did. I am thankful to have been able to watch him play and share his enthusiasm.

   While I have not actually shed a tear, I will admit that my eyes have been puffed-up for much of the past six hours since I heard the news. I’ll miss you Kid.
