I didn't know anything about Jack Carlson until I looked him up on youtube. Was he a goon? It was nothing but fights.
He, to me, looks like if Larry Bird had been beaten up a couple times. That's not an insult, but a charming thing.
I honestly had to Google Larry Bird. (Shut-up!) So . . . I don't watch sports. Well, outside of the UT Vols College Football.
Yes, they asked him to fight, to get the crowds going. Mainly because it was almost impossible to kick his butt. He also defended his baby brother, and all his team mates. If they were getting their butts kicked, he went to settle the score.
He stopped doing that, and went to running a kids camp with Billy Butters. It's a Christian camp if I am saying this right. They teach religion, life, and yes . . . it is a hockey camp.
He is now a referee, as I have said before. He now stops the fights.
OK, so I could talk about him all day long.
He helped me at the worst time of my life. He didn't know he was, but he did. I was at my worst because of life, and right then I accidently discovered him. His life, and the way he changed it, encouraged me.
That's all I really care to share.
