The talk of the weekend was Tiger Woods. He won for the first time in over 5 years. He has gone from being loathed by most everyone to a hero again. Many, not all of the issues he dealt with were self-inflicted but you don’t forget how to be great. You can get physically unable to be great and for a while he was, but whatever that “It” is never goes away
As incredible as Tiger’s story is, there’s one closer to home. 26 year old Efe Obada shined in the Panther’s win Sunday. He’s from Nigeria, was sold as a slave with his sister. He ended up in the Netherlands, then England and now in Charlotte. He was a big factor in his first ever NFL game Sunday with a sack and an interception. Even with all he did, it’s nothing compared to how he got here. He hasn’t talked much about his story we’ll learn more
