Heart-warming comment from reader

A reader identified as ladybeatriceV left a comment on a post about Odell Thurman that ran back in January. As moderator, I just put it up with the post, but it might be lost because of the date. I want to make sure other readers see it.

It's a gentle reminder that these are people inside the helmets and beneath the shoulder pads.

Her comment:

I pray every day for Odell and for his healing, and his return to the Bengals. Odell always been a good person- with a contagious grin and a good heart. I know he's had some "bumps in the road," but I've always believed that he can straighten things out. Whether he was a 'Cane, a Dawg, or a Bengal, he has always been a fighter- and I know he can fight the good fight for himself this time! We love you, Odell!
