SIAP: Devin Funchess caught two touchdowns in honor of a fallen soldier
SIAP...I am currently using Hidester VPN proxy site to access MGoBlog as it is blocked by our ESET Endpoint detection. (Sons of bitches). I cannot use the features, nor format worth a damn - so keep that in mind before downvoting. Anyways, I thought this was a good story out of the NFL - and it involves our very own Devin Funchess. "Devin Funchess promised Tina Palmer he’d score a touchdown for her son, Fallen Hero SGT Dillon Baldridge. He scored two." This is a pretty awesome gesture, and I love that a former Michigan star went out of his way to bring light into a woman's eyes that has seen too much darkness: "Dillon is Sgt. Dillon Baldridge. The 22-year-old died in June during an attack in Afghanistan while serving in the Army, and Funchess wore his initials on his helmet during Carolina’s “Salute to Service” game." He's a classy guy, and forever a Michigan Man - and I loved reading this story. “I told Dillon’s mom that I was going to get in the end zone for her,” Funchess said, per the Panthers team website. “That’s what I did. I made sure she got the first touchdown (ball).” You can find the story here: https://sports.yahoo.com/carolina-panthers-wide-receiver-devin-funchess…

Great story that I have not seen before. Great example of a Michigan man. I miss me some funchess

Also helped my fantasy team get to 8-2. Thanks Devin.

It was a win win for me. Funchess had two touchdowns and I still won even though he was on my opponents team.

his second TD gave me the high score in our league for the week, which pays out. Thanks, Devin!
And more importantly, great gesture by the young man.

To get A Brown and Gronk. That elevated Funches into a starter on my team. Figured with Queen Latifah off to Buffalo it was worth the risk.

Are you in a league with a bunch of idiots? That’s the worst trade of all time for whoever supposedly made it. Wow I wish I was in your league so I could trade Kenyon drake for LeVeon Bell.
November 16th, 2017 at 1:20 AM ^
Let me clarify. 2 separate trades. Sent Hopkins and Dion Lewis to one team for Brown. Diggs and Jack Doyle for Gronk and Marquise Goodwin.

Who on earth would agree to that trade??
November 15th, 2017 at 5:17 PM ^
Story! Go Blue!
November 15th, 2017 at 5:24 PM ^
He also won me fantasy against the top ranked guy in my league! And I'm in last place so that was fun

Great tribute by Devin. Glad to see he's having a decent amount of success this year.
November 15th, 2017 at 6:12 PM ^
Watched that game, great story. Good to see Devin having a few of these games each year! As an aside, my buddy I was watching with won his fantasy match up (and is a Michigan fan) from Devin's 2nd TD. So, you know, cool story.
November 15th, 2017 at 6:25 PM ^
I was watching and was happy to see Funchess get in the end zone twice. They showed him after his first score, and he was talking to some staffer and adamantly telling him something about the ball. At the time I thought he was just making it clear that was his TD ball and wanted it after the game. I'm really impressed by his dedication of the TD to a fallen hero. Michigan Man through and through.

Man that choked me up.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:23 PM ^
And here I was thinking he did it in honor of his next contract.
November 15th, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
Great story.

everyone was so motivated during those dark years. so easy to play for a coach and AD that didn't know a gi joe from a tennessee volunteer

Hell yah! Dude is the man for real.

You need to find a way to get your work IT to unblock MGoBlog - tell them that the site helps you concentrate and find your center or something along those lines. I mean, unless it is a really ugly loss in either football or basketball, in which case you actually would want the site hidden behind the staunchest of security protocols.

Devin has quietly moved up from 3rd-4th receiver to the number one guy. It’s not only awesome to see Devin balling out, but seeing the Michigan man in him also continuing to blossom is amazing to see.
