Steve Gleason nominated for Congressional Gold Medal, NCAA makes kickoff rule change

Steve Gleason is many things.

Inspiring, insightful and funny, to name just a few.

What he could also be, though, is a Congressional Gold Medalist. There is legislation in the U.S. House and Senate that would honor Gleason with the Congressional Gold Medal for his work with the Gleason Initiative Foundation.

The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian honor given by Congress.

I don’t know about you, but I’d imagine Gleason is a shoo-in for this. What he’s done for those with ALS is impressive, and how he’s done it is incredible.
