. . . when I said I wasn't as moved by Korey Stringer's death. I've seen too many clips, read too many interviews and stories. And it's haunting seeing the "Korey's corner" icon in the sidebar on every Vikings page at startribune.com.

This article about Stringer for Esquire got to me. The quotes from librarians and schoolteachers and kids do, too. The statement from the family. Sigh.
