    Published on Feb 8, 2016
    On Nov. 24, 2015, NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey was shot twice in the head as he and his cousin waited in a car outside of a friend’s house in South Florida. A short time later, he is already back in the gym working to get himself in shape for a chance to return to the NFL and to the game he loves.

    Stedman and I spent two days together in late January, during which time I followed his progress physically, emotionally and spiritually. He is determined to get back on the field no matter how tall the odds are stacked against him in that effort.

    See Stedman’s story, through his own words, as he continues his journey in the face of adversity.

    I wish him the best of luck.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Well….I’m still mad at him. I’d
    like to hear a little more from HIM
    about why he was suspended (for the second time
    i think?) and what really happened with
    regard to that shooting.
    I’m not much interested in how his
    priorities are about “God” at this point, blah
    blah blah.

    …yeah, I’m still irked..

    New Clutch Record rules!

    “Son Of Virginia”

    It was the morning of All Saint’s Day, ’98
    When that old blind dog started roaming around the graveyard
    Wouldn’t have bothered me so much
    Were he not walking on his hind legs and smoking cigars

    Recite my lineage and genealogy
    You’ve got to know your history, son of Virginia
    Everybody’s in the church believing they’re a sinner
    And looking for a sign from the true son of Virginia

    When the storm blew over we made our way
    To the old hay wain to infiltrate the sarcophagus
    By the dim light of a narrow window we saw
    The God’s honest truth staring right back at us

    Recite your lineage and genealogy
    You’ve got to know your history, son of Virginia
    Everybody’s in the church believing they’re a sinner
    And looking for a sign from the true son of Virginia

    Stare into the embers on the first of November
    And remember you were born a true son of Virginia

    I was thrown to the ground as my world broke asunder
    Truly we are living in an age of wonder
    Truly we are living in an age of wonder

    It was the morning of All Saint’s Day, ’98
    When that old blind dog started calling me associate
    Wouldn’t have bothered me so much were it not for the fact
    That was the truth of it

    Recite our lineage and genealogy
    You’ve got to know your history,
    Son of Virginia Stare into the embers on the first of November
    And remember you were born a true son of Virginia

    I was thrown to the ground as my world broke asunder
    Truly we are living in an age of wonder
    I wept like a child as the son rose above her
    Truly we are living in an age of wonder.

    he definitely messed up failing the second drug test. but as far as i know he did nothing wrong when he got shot in the head. he was at his local high school talking to students when it happened. now i don’t know if something happened before to precipitate that or if stedman was involved with that i don’t know. i hope not.

    We don’t know. Heard a few verions. Fact is he is a father, a Ram, a Montainqeer and a potential talent. I’m in his corner.

    His recovering from two shots to his head is the bigger story IMO.
