Dec 21, 2009 - Look dude, im not threatening you or your family because that is ignorant. what i am saying is Jimmy V's strong faith is what made this speech possible. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with his faith because it was his faith that gave him the strength to make one of the best speeches in the history of sports (right up there with lou gherig). Let's just say it's a great speech and be done with it.

Dec 21, 2009 - I agree with this post. Ive got no problem with you. I just have a problem with people who threaten my loved ones over my religious beliefs, and the people who think I am the bad guy here for my beliefs. Shame on you, and if there is a God, may you all rot in Hell for eternity solely based on your callas comments.

Dec 25, 2009 - @frogskinshoelace It is a great speech, one that will go down in history. Look at the amount of money the Jimmy V Foundation has raised, just unbelievable. But as I go through the speech, there is not a ton or religious aspect, or as you stated in an earlier comment, the biblical BS. It is your right to believe or not, it is a free gift to all of us from God through Jesus Christ. This speech was about a great outlook on life more than anything else. Try not to cloud the message :)

frogskinshoelace Says:

Dec 25, 2009 - You dont know how to read do you? And no, dont act as if you know that there is a jesus christ dumbass

hawkvb Says:

Dec 25, 2009 - @frogskinshoelace WOW! I am sorry you are angry about something. I can now see why people have reacted the way they have to you, but I won't do that. You are entitled to your opinion; something we that has be afforded us from our service people. Please don't act as if you know my beliefs. W/O Jesus Christ I would be lost. Look up Phillipians 4:13 and John 3:16 I am not here to judge you, Christ does that. Please enjoy the CHRISTmas season and find PEACE.

Dec 26, 2009 - 8:34-35 the best part of this speech.

frogskinshoelace Says:

Dec 26, 2009 - Dont act like you know my beliefs. I probably know more about religion than you. I went to church every sunday for about 13 years. I also went to Sunday school. I did a lot of research when I decide that I am not a believer. You are warped if you are positive there is. Nobody knows for sure, and its stupid to act like you do. And yeah, ill enjoy christmas. Hopefully there is a jesus and he shows up so I can give him 2009 birthday punches directly to his vagina.

hawkvb Says:

Dec 26, 2009 - @frogskinshoelace I'm glad you have all of the answers. I am finished with this conversation.Have a great life :)

frogskinshoelace Says:

Dec 26, 2009 - You dont know how to read do you hawkvb? I said dont know for sure. I HAVE NO ANSWERS. NEITHER DO YOU. NOBODY DOES. And thast is the truth. Nobody has any proof.

Jan 9, 2010 - NC State should be ashamed of themselves. This was a good man who got you a NCAAA basketball championship! And you fired him!!! But like a gentleman he took it in stride because jimmy V had class!!

BlueHandDan Says:

Jan 21, 2010 - State didn't want to fire him. He bought some shoes for a player and the media ate it up.

philyphil1 Says:

Jan 21, 2010 - Jimmy had more class than the entire Admin that fired him. He was a man of true character and I was blessed to know him.

ThoughtPatterns Says:

Jan 31, 2010 - Really puts a big spotlight on all of us who bitch and complain about the most petty of things in life, huh?

johnking51872 Says:

Feb 1, 2010 - Magical words from a man who had the utmost of class and character. Jimmy V was so passionate about everything he did, while maintaining character that I can only dream of. It was a sad day when he passed away, but I will always remember his words from the end of this speech. I had the honor of watching it live, and I am not ashamed to admit I was in tears. I have wanted to say this for a long time: Thank you Jimmy for all of the memories. May you live in the hearts of sports fans forever...

roadhogg31 Says:

Feb 16, 2010 - @frogskinshoelace sometimes when you feel that pit deep in your stomach that drives you to say something awful to someone....its best to step away. take a deeper look at your self...how are you going to wish tumors on a person on this sight of all places. im not insulting you but take some stock and just walk away. you would be surprised how empowering that can be

frogskinshoelace Says:

Feb 16, 2010 - I only started wishing tumors upon people AFTER THEY WISHED MY FAMILY WOULD DIE. Way to read dumbass.

roadhogg31 Says:

Feb 16, 2010 - @frogskinshoelace actually i did read all of them. and i would really be a dumb ass to try and reply to all of them. But there are always going to be flamers on the internet who feel the need to disrespect someone else's opinion. i was speaking from personal experience and trying to talk to someone on an inteligent level...you know open discourse. i simply chose one of you....sorry go ahead back to flaming cause it seems to sway so many. remember..Laugh, THINK(B4 RUNNING MOUTHS), and Feel. Peace

petev23 Says:
