Matt Bryant lost his three-month-old son just days ago. The kicker for the Tampa Baby Buccaneers is suited, and presumably playing, in the game today.
That can't be easy, and as the network commentators have mentioned it really puts things in perspective.
I'm sure Bryant needed to do this. Coping and healing are crazy beasts.
Our thoughts go out to the whole Bryant family, and for today we're rooting for the Bucs.
Updated: Matt did play and had 3 field goals, one of which sealed the game, and 3 extra points. It was an emotional game.
Updated: I heard an interview with Matt after his game. It was on ESPN Radio and since I was driving I can't provide exact quotes, but basically he stated how unfair it was that his son was given such a short time to live and that he felt playing today was honoring his son.
Sad stuff.
