Cardinals Retire Pat Tillman's Jersey

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals honored Pat Tillman on Sunday in an emotional halftime ceremony that featured the fallen player's widow and other members of his family.

Not much more I can add to this except that I wish I could have seen the ceremony. But then again, a part of me is glad I didn't.

Something I wrote on another forum after the reports of Tillman's death broke:

Yeah. Saw that today. Turned down 6 million for 3 million out of team loyalty. Turned down 3 million for not even 20k out of duty. Turned down numerous interviews from sportswriters trying to make a big deal of his decision out of humility. It's a shame, but he died doing what he knew he had to do. It's a shame there aren't more like him. And it's an even bigger shame that those who are like him don't get mentioned more often.
