Dude is a legit badass. Batson would die if he went through one of Rodriguez's workouts.

I admittedly hadn't been all that familiar with his story; kind of went under a team coverage rock last spring when my duties here changed.
But some of the vivid references in there to the battle inspired me to do some more reading on those events. Amazing stuff.

This is awesome! Great job by Dabo and the staff!
With so much negative out there about sports, stories like this should get more pub.

I was really in the dark on him as well, but last night I watched the Dan Rather piece on youtube and was really impressed with his story. What great drive he has, and that can be infectious.
