    Good story and glad it made the news......

    Miss State quarterback Will Rogers comforted an older Alabama event staffer after Saturday's game

    Will showered and changed and started to walk toward the team bus. That is when he saw an older Bama event staff member doing her best to climb the exit ramp. She had a long day, too.

    Will Rogers took the woman’s arm, flashed a smile and comforted the woman. Quite the scene it was: The visiting quarterback escorting the Bama fan and stadium worker up the exit ramp to assure that she exited safely.

    I love a story like this. Especially in this age where there are so many entitled, self absorbed young athletes. All of a sudden, cowbells aren’t quite as annoying to me.

    Would not surprise me in the least that he is a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. It's just about seeing a need and meeting a need.

    Or he is just a normal person that doesn't need religion to do something nice for someone.

    I bet you a lot of "entitled, self absorbed young athletes" do more than you think they do for others.

    This is not to say a non believer couldn't or wouldn't do such a thing, however for those who are fully devoted to Jesus Christ, we do this not for self glory but for His glory. It's not of works but of gratitude of what Christ has done for us. So, kudos to him.

    Didn’t mean to imply they are all that way or even the majority. We hear more about bad behavior than good behavior. Was happy to hear a good story. Hear plenty of bad ones.

    I don't believe in Jesus and when I help someone I don't do it for self glory.

    And are you sure its not of works? Without Jesus you wouldn't help him? You're only doing it to get those heaven points?

    I'd venture to guess that a lot of college athletes/people in general are just like him, they just don't have the good fortune of having their good deeds caught on camera.

    Yeah? Your comments read as if you’re all about YOUR glory. Too many “believers” suffer from your affliction, sadly.
    You should pray about it.
