Apology

Guys, this will probably get shot down as soon as I post it. My previous post was taken totally the wrong way. I was not poking fun at Frank Beamer. I do know, though, that he has had health problems with his heart lately, and I was wondering if the lump on his neck was a medical condition also. Perhaps it was poor wording. I sincerly apologize.

Here is the story,,

Beamer grew up on a 70-acre farm in Fancy Gap, Va. In 1954, when he was seven years old, he used a push broom to help keep a pile of burning trash in place. When the job was done he returned the broom to the garage, unaware that its brushes were still smoldering. A spark ignited a can of nearby gasoline, which exploded in front of him. His 11-year old brother, Barrett, saved him by rolling him around on the ground, but Frank was left with burns on the right side of his neck, chest and his shoulders. Over the next few years he endured dozens of painful skin grafts and was left with permanent scarring.
Many people might be self-conscious about the scar. But Beamer, a proud, handsome man, wears it like a badge of honor, even to his advantage; it adds to his mystique. While the experience might partly explain his compassion, it certainly stands as a tribute to his grit and determination. He went on to become a star athlete at Hillsville High School and earned a football scholarship to Virginia Tech.

thought you were being a little mean. My mistake obviously, it seems you were asking a legit question.

Seriously, I wouldnt worry about it, but looking at the replies to your original post is sort of funny though. Talk about a bunch of sensitive women!

People whine like women that people are daring to criticize a single TV announcer.
