I was at Winchester's first game as a Chief. Away at Houston. I was right behind their bench and a man in a Winchester jersey came by and was eyeing the players ahead of the game along with his wife. Naturally I figured these were his parents and struck up a conversation as I knew who James was given that CP hyperfocuses on the minutia of training camp. I then got an amazing view of a father who was so emotional that his son was about to play in the NFL. He was boasting and waxing about his son and how Reid said he was athletic enough to get some snaps on offense. He was so proud and it was so touching and genuine.
I can't believe not very long after he suffered that fate. But that day he was as proud as any father could be and I've kept that with me ever since.
Good for James.
