J.R. also wants to remind you that when you comment on his articles, stay on topic and do not talk about anything outside of sports or the topic itself, i.e. politics. There are other forums out there for those topics.
Thank you, and enjoy J.R. Salazar's articles here on Bleacher Report.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.
Thank you everyone!
