A couple of things about the video(s).

#1 - Good for Shawn for trying to make something of himself. I remember watching highlights of him while he was at JC and what an unbelievable football player he was. Shawn, I hope you achieve all you want to in life. Someone who has worked as hard as you have to walk a different path deserves anything and everything they want, and I hope you get it. You're an amazing athlete and 10x a better person. We're all here for you, man! May God bless you!

#2 - I'm so freakin' sick and tired of people reporting how no one here has money, no one here can read, and everyone is either drunk or high. Yes, those things are in this region, and I'm not being nieve about it, but what about the other people of the Mountains who have jobs and are making pretty **** well for themselves and their families? We're here too? People wonder why the rest of America perceives us as they do. It gets old after a while of everyone assuming just because you're from eastern KY you can' read or write, you're a drunk, and you live in a box. I went out west to visit some family one year and this guy was surprised I had shoes on my feet when I said I was from eastern KY. It's frsutrating that we who are not poor, who are not addicted to drugs and who are not illiterate get thrown into that group of people who are all of those things!
