63 year old Joe Paquette of Munising, Michigan claims that he walked 425 miles from his home to the Lion's practice facility in Allen Park. Paquette's journey began Aug. 8 and arrived on the morning of Aug.25. When Paquette finally got to the practice facility he wanted to inspire the team by telling them "Sisu", which is Finnish word meaning strength of will, determination and perseverance. His family put up daily post and pictures of his whereabouts on Facebook. After he was greeted by players and staff on his walk, Head Coach Jim Schwartz gave him a jersey with numbers 425 on it.
My thoughts on this story is that it could be fake, what kind of family would let a 63 year old man with arthritis in both knees walk 425 miles. I would think after the first mile his knees would start hurting, and I don't think any medication he has would get rid of 425 miles of pain. Also when he was talking to the press he didn't make a facial expression showing a little bit of pain. If it is true then I feel that's one truly dedicated Lion's fan.
Man u ain't neva lied I hear arthritis ain't notihing to b messed with and if he did do this they need to find out what meds he on cause it probably not legal. If anytthing Lions fans can take from this is they gotta persevere another painful season.
ReplyDelete"Painful Season"..LMBO what ever happen to Die-hard fans? I REALLY think his family was hoping to collect on some type of policy, "Can you say Life Insurance"? This sounds crazy but I'm going to stay in the Neutral Zone on this one...
