Rape, assault, drunken driving, murder and mayhem!
Oh wait, that's just the NFL news of the day. You know, the NFL rap sheet.
Let's see, former New England tight end Aaron Hernandez arrested for first degree murder. That's 29 arrests and counting since the Super Bowl.
I was actually looking for a particular news story, a subject that doesn't involve pampered thugs, gang members and criminals who make millions in the NFL.
Ah, here it is: Former NFL running back Glen Coffee graduating from the Army's Airborne School in Fort Benning. The guy walked away from the NFL to get in the special forces.
Not every pro athlete is a spoiled-rotten adolescent, bad-boy wannabe. There have been some unbelievable heroes who combined pro football and serving in the country's military.
Here are some of the most heroic, in my view.
