Ray Rice

[Ithacaorange]

I had the pleasure of bringing my 9 yr old son to see ray rice at my high school here in northern westchester (Somers). He has been doing visits in the area as Part of the NFL's program promoting high school football in the tri-state area. He was awesome!

Jumped right in with the kids when they were showing a video, then spoke for about an hour, telling stories and talking and taking pictures with the kids. Great night for my son ( yes I told my son the story about him and Greene going to rutgers after the clown grob took over, you can't blame the two of them, that was a career defining move for them).

Rice is a class kid and tony dematteo (Somers head coach and NYS coaching legend) kept saying what a great player he was, "but he is a better person"

Talked about doing the right thing, not geting in trouble, bullying, following dreams and setting goals, the unlikelihood of getting to the pros, etc.. Real good stuff for the kids!

Good to know. I like Ray Rice in spite of his Rutgers move, now I know why. It's good to see good people working with the kids and giving real advice.
