re: Cam getting all the hate--how about some for Manning?

Glenn Coffee gave up his entire athletic career in his prime because his beliefs led him to defend our country in the military, and he was looking to have a nice career ahead of him as well if I remember correctly. Does that count? lol

That's misleading.

He didn't quit football to join the service. He quit football because he was no longer interested in football.

He stated his faith was drawing him elsewhere. He drifted around for awhile, spoke at churches, tried boxing, got back into semipro football, and finished his degree at UA.

It was almost 3 yrs between football and entering the service.
