Incredible video: Former @KCentral_Sports WR Phillip Blanks dives to catch a 3-year old boy dropped from a burning, 3rd floor Phoenix apartment. I just spoke to the former @USMC Marine who says he was "put on this earth to protect people". His story tonight on @wwmtnews pic.twitter.com/Y4qDvMFEwV

the guy in the blue was ready to catch the kid …. nice interception
… is this a red/blue thing?
I’m not sure the blue guy was in position to do anything other than say “I did all I could”. The red guy must know him and took matters in his own hands. Good for both of them, let them both take credit.
If you look closely when he is running away? He kinda looks like Franco Harris? The man had good training and good hands:

OR, @BFH I know you are more of a Met fan of course, so there is Ron Swoboda, a good glove:

This is what BLM should be doing.
Down in the corner you can see Colin Kaepernick running away.
To complete the football references here…
…and, TOUCHDOWN United States Marine Corps!
Damn. Public housing sucks.
Semper Fi!

They started the fire.
Semper friggin Fi, Marine.
guess it’s a good thing he didn’t spike it ….

Center fielder’s call.
According to some of the posters yesterday regarding the armed forces, he’s nothing special. Must be gay or something since the marines are part of the navy.
Good job marine.
Wasn’t expecting I would be tearing up after watching the video.
According to my nephew who was a Lt. JG in the Navy told his 2 younger enlisted Marine Corps. brothers that the Marines are the Men’s dept. of the Navy.

the guy in Blue gets a participation Trophy,
The Marine in Red receives the honor and accolades he richly earned and deserves.
When I was in high school there was an accident where a roofer slipped and slid down the domed roof our our auditorium. One of the student football players was walking by and saw him sliding. He ran over and caught the roofer as he fell off the edge (about 8 ft above the ground). Nobody was injured. The student was honored for the act at the next student rally.
That’s what good neighbors are for.
“guess it’s a good thing he didn’t spike it ….

Yeah, well, I laughed, so…
