In the early 90's Disney made a movie about a young mans life. His name was roddy. His dream was to play Foot ball for NoterDame he spent his whole life every year he would try out for the team and every year they would tell him the same thing "you"re too short and too small". Until one year they let him one the team. It came down to the last game and he had not played in even one play so on the last down the coach called his name and told him to go play on the deafens. In his one and only play he managed to break the tackle with his 150 pound body and sack the Quarter back. Roddy never won a big trophy he never even made a great play, but it is my belief that he was and always will be a Champion.
