I saw this posted over on BN and I didn't read it because Dodd usually doesn't have much to say.

However, I don't see this article as a slam on the Buckeyes or the coaches or Ohio State University. This is a condemnation of a fraction of fans that really need to take stock of what's important.

I'm not saying that people don't care about Tyson's injury or his condition because I know that's not true. I don't think that there's a Buckeye out there who isn't praying for Tyson. I am saying (and Dodd and Coach Tressel are as well) that the furor over the new jersey's was and continues to be, imo, absolutely ridiculous.

I think that Dodd was simply using Tyson's injury as a way to illustrate what's really important in life (in addition to making some type of argument for some reform to try and cut down on football injuries. Not sure what Dodd's really after in this piece). I have three daughters and my absolute favorite part of every day is when she comes running out to see me when I get home from work. Every time she does she says "Daddy I did your favorite part of the day!!"

Parents will attest that no matter how old your kids get, they never stop being your little girl or boy. How devastating it must be when something happens to your child and you can't help them or make it all better.
