It’s moments like this one that remind us sports are so much more than just whatever the scoreboard says when the game is over.
A crazed gunman took the lives of 12 innocent people that horrific Wednesday night. Those families will be impacted forever in a way that is beyond words. Yet, it’s in the darkest of times we’re reminded just how much we are there for other people, including complete strangers.
Hopefully, Goff’s gesture brought a little bit of happiness to these family members. Major props to him for taking a moment to meet with these people in the face of such tragedy.
