Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

great SI story on Hines Ward

I want to recommend this article (I got the hard copy magazine, but I'm guessing you can read it on line as well- sorry don't have the link).

Absolutely incredible and heartwarming story about Hines Ward returning to Korea (he was born there) with his Korean mother to "rid himself of the hurt and anger- and shame" he felt growing up the ultimate outsider in American culture.  

My favorite part of the article describes when asked to sign an autograph, Ward would write: "THANKS FOR HELPING ME LEARN ABOUT KOREAN TRADITION. GO STEELERS."
