Popular Post GreenFish Posted February 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2022 He always comes off as a great person, but I never knew he’s story. My God what a tough childhood. It’s amazing that his mother and Curtis were able to forgive his Curtis’ father. Sometimes forgiveness is not about the person you’re forgiving but about allowing yourself to move forward without bitterness and anger. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 martin always give it all. some call him a compiler but he should played the position well and was good in all aspects. it's great to that he has succeeded so much from where he came from, not just monetarily, but also as a person. lots of these players come from some pretty bad backgrounds. i feel sorry for the ones that achieve a high degree of success on the football field but just never become complete humans. they lose their money or get engaged in criminal activity. these things just shouldn't happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origen Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yeah, he is a guy I really want the team to keep close and have as a role model for young players for as long as he wants to get paid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Amazing. So many aspects of the story to reflect on. The “bag of bricks”. is really powerful. She didn’t let him off the hook, didn’t let him back in her life, just with one gesture was able to close the door on him ruining her life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
