More hospital visits

Went to Children's Medical Center in Dallas and 20 Cowboys were in the place along with some cheerleaders.
Among the players: Tony Romo, Aaron Glenn, Tyson Thompson, Miles Austin, Marco Rivera, Kyle Kosier, Cory Procter, Anthony Henry, Jacques Reeves DeMarcus Ware, Patrick Crayton and Jay Ratliff with others.

"This is my third one," Crayton said. "Sometimes you take stuff for granted and this kind of brings you back to earth. We're just blessed to be in the situations that we're in."
All the players signed autographs and visited some rooms.
If you've ever seen a child sick and in the hospital it can be a sad thing, especially when they are battling cancer like some of the kids were.
It was a great experience to see many of the kids and their parents smile when seeing the Cowboys.
Hope I'm not getting too sappy.

Anyway back to football business in a little while.

That little kid is just a "TO apologist".

I'm sure it's wise not to allow T.O. to tag along on these trips. You'd think a children's book author would be decent enough to hand out a few autographed books to hospitalized children, but maybe it's better this way for the kids.

Matt, no worries. It's not possible to get too sappy about kids who are in that situation and the little-big things that can lighten their day.

They didn't let T.O. pick up any babies did they? Cause he might drop them.

Chango...read the previous hospital entry....TO was at another hospital.

Yes TO drops balls.......but look look at the stats!!!!!.....He is one of the top recievers in the game and should be on his way to a pro bowl.

Great work by the Cowboys that do this type of thing.

Glad TO didn't go and spit on these kids.
