I MENTIONED PAT TILLMAN’S DEATH BELOW, with some comments in tribute emailed from one of his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan. I don’t really have much to add to those. But here’s a comment worth repeating:

“In sports we have a tendency to overuse terms like courage and bravery and heroes,” said Cardinals vice president Michael Bidwill, son of the team’s owner Bill Bidwill, “and then someone like Pat Tillman comes along and reminds us what those terms really mean.”

Indeed. Mason Wilson has some further thoughts.

UPDATE: “Pat Tillman stadium?” Sounds like a nice idea.
