There is crying in football. You can take it from defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer, who said he shed some tears after his agent and the 49ers agreed on a contract. The team's top draft pick called his father, Charles, a truck driver who was on the road in Mississippi to give him the news. "He's crying, I'm crying -- it's a very emotional time," Balmer said. "I couldn't control myself."

First off, just because this man's name is Kentwan doesn't automatically make him from the projects. I can bet almost anything in this world that he is far more successful than you given the fact that he is playing in the NFL where he is making millions. As for you, you are stuck on the computer making comments about NFL players who don't even know you exist.
