Okay this is my favorite story of the day: Matt Ziesel's touchdown run. Matt Ziesel, a freshman on the  St. Joseph Benton High School football team, has Down Syndrome, and so hasn't played in any of the actual games, never mind scored a touchdown... until now. St. Joseph Benton coach Dan McCamy 's team had the ball but were losing 46-0 when he approached opponent Maryville High School's defensive coach  David McEnaney, asking Maryville to let Matt Zeisel, a 5'3", 110-lb running back, score a touchdown. Demonstrating great sportsmanship, Maryville agreed, and the moment is captured here in all its viral-video glory: Matt Zeisel's touchdown run.
