I was about to write a story that involved exotic cars and women, and I ran across this YouTube video that absolutely floored me. Now, as you know we are a guy gifts site that specializes in personalized gifts, and that means that we like films like "Rudy." We like "Rudy" a lot. We like films like "Invincible" too. We love anything that has to do with the under dog that has no chance, and against all odds he manages to do something miraculous. It's a guy rite of passage. Vegas likes an underdog and we're no different.
If you watch the above story about an autistic kid, Jason McElwain, who was the high school basketball manager - meaning, fetch the old towels and grab some cold water - for years, who, during the last game of the season in his senior year, was finally given the opportunity to suit up. In a true-life Rudyesque moment the kid goes into the big game with just a few moments remaining. I won't spoil it for you if you haven't clicked the above link, but suffice to say, this two minute plus video gave me chills. What a great story that not only inspires a lousy couch potato like me to at least want to do something great, but it also shows us, in a very non-preachy way, that we should never underestimate anyone we meet. This video gives new meaning for me about that great old expression, don't judge a book by its cover. Enjoy the vid! I look forward to hearing your comments...and please pass this around.
