Thanks for posting this, just saw this. I hope he gets the national attention he deserves as well what a hero. I remember him when he played at Arkansas, they had a rediculous backfield....Darren McFadden,  Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis! Pray that he get better.

Get well Peyton I remember this guy carrying fantasy teams to Superbowls . Get well ! 

From a fantasy football perspective he was a “one year wonder”.

Put his own life at risk to save his kids’ lives. Nothing much more heroic than that IMO. Glad to hear that he’s improving.

This story hits quite close to home.

 

A few years ago an old buddy took his 5 year old fishing. No one knows what exactly happened, but the 5 yr old son fell in, dad went in and saved him, but in the meantime tired himself out or had a heart attack or something, and died in the water after saving his son. The kid had to sit in the boat next to his dad's body for hours until folks noticed they were gone too long and went looking for them.

 

Wear your life jackets at all times people.

Had a friend that died about 5 years ago who took his kid hunting.  He had a heart attack in the tree stand with his son who was 7.  

He was with his dad's body for about 2-3 hours.  Friends came when he wasn't answering his walkie talkie.

Ryan Grant tore his achilles, and i put in a waiver claim for brandon jackson - and the commissioner somehow got him ahead of me.  It was an auction free agency league, so i protested and he put him back in for auction - he used his entire 75 dollar budget on Jackson and i used 69 cuz reasons.  After that i picked up Hillis for a dollar and won the league.

This is probably the most emotional NFL season ever.  

 

Hillis was saving his kids from drowning.

 

 

 

@WhoTom ... you see what they did there?
