He's thrilled to "bring some joy" to poeple hit hard by Hurricane Rita. He's thrilled that he has something else to show kids at his camps this summer. Something to tell them, "If I can make it, you can do great things, too." Babineaux won't have the ball he intercepted with 5 seconds left on Sunday to set up one of the most dramatic wins in Seahawks history. After the game, Babinueax had all his teammates autograph that football so he could give it to injured teammate Ken Hamlin. That's a 23 year old free agent from Southern Arkansas U. giving away THE BALL from one of the greatest wins anyone can remember. You might remember that the next time Jordan Babinueax makes a great play. Long after all the details of games and wins have faded, I'll remember Babineaux's spirit and his generosity. Gestures like that, people like that make my job a pleasure.

"Special players make special plays." I've heard it since I started covering the NFL 10 years ago. In Seattle its a little different. Here, special people make special plays. Jordan Babineaux has made 2 of the biggest plays this year for the 'Hawks: the late fumble recovery to seal Seattle's win in St. Louis and Sunday's interception (pictured) to set up Josh Brown's game winning field goal. I've talked to Jordan after both plays and he doesn't say much about himself. But he does light up when he talks about going home to Port Arthur, Texas, during the 'Hawks bye week...
