Great Story, Check out the link to snopes at the bottom also
KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love. Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids with us." She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome. Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different mindset. That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more kids. So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl. Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person. It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. : http://www.snopes.com/glurge/warner.asp |

That was awesome.
For those that may have scanned the story but didn't check out the Snopes link, it's definitely worth the extra reading time. For those that may not be familiar, Snopes is a website the checks "Urban Legend" stories for accuracy. It's a great site. goodone414 - thanks again for the post. That will make the Super Bowl even more interesting for me to watch. |

I am so thankful to read that article about Kurt Warner, it is so inspiring to read something of that quality vs the other normal junk we read about some of the NFL PLAYERS.

I was afraid when I saw the Snopes link that it was going to reveal that the story was a scam. It turns out that the real story is even better than the one circulating in via e-mail. With all of the bad news that we're exposed to everyday, it's nice to be able to read something that's uplifting. |

I don't want to start any trouble out there but I thought this was going to be a two week period of nothing but STEELERS praise and worship from our good buddy CL Pgh. We really haven't heard that much, I am sure he is sober and out of the snow by now
Don't worry, we love ya man, but you can't have my beer |

Warner QB’d the SB in 2000 & again in 2002... this story was every where back then. Good stuff!!! This trip to the SB should solidify Warner has a Hall of Fame player seeing what he’s done with the Cards. this season. He’s great people and belongs in the HoF… but if winning this game is required to make it to the HoF… it just won’t happen! Kurt is one of the top three active QB’s with winning Play-Off records… one of the other three… Big Ben Roethlisberger… youngest QB to win a SB… fastest QB ever to 50 wins.
Can you guess the third active QB not mentioned??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmkdLODSup4 Last edited by CL Pgh; 01-22-2009 at 01:19 PM. |

You got it... Brady. Manning, believe it or not, actually has a losing record during play-offs. I think he's 6 & 7... in that area. ???
