When you read Altmire's bio, it's clear he wants people to think he part of FSU's Championship. Why can't he just tell the real story, which might actually be a bit inspirational, given his knee injury? Instead, he just has to take it too far.The practice squad is the practice squad. He never put a jersey on. I accept your argument about what one might consider being part of the team. That puts Mr. Altmire on par with the cheerleaders. Sure, they never suited up, but they could be considered a part of the team. He wasn't good enough to make the roster, and that's a fact. Typical politician. He's a liar, and thank goodness for you guys for calling him out on it.
Have to disagree
