As running back Frank Gore prepares to face one of the teams he played for during his Hall of Fame career, he remains thankful each passing week for how this season has unfolded.
He’s still playing the game he loves, now with the hometown Miami Dolphins, but this year is different. This year, he’s home.
In addition to playing for the Dolphins, Gore is embracing the day-to-day family life that was tough to manage at times when he was playing across the country in San Francisco and Indianapolis.
“I love it. That’s a blessing, getting a chance to be around my family, period,” Gore said Tuesday as Miami prepares to play the Indianapolis Colts.
