Wicked Good Sports is taking a timeout from the usual silly business to bring your attention to an important cause. Why? It's Jimmy V Week. Yes, one of the few times out the year when the World Wide Leader extracts its head from its arse to do something good. So take notice.
In remembering former college hoops coach Jim Valvano, people can celebrate the life of a wonderful man and raise funds and awareness for cancer research. It's a huge win, kind of like the massive victory the Patriots pulled off against the Jets last night. (BURN!)

Couldn't help myself.
Anyway. I encourage everyone to donate to the Jimmy V Fund. Trust me, contributing is a wonderful thing. It makes you feel happy enough to celebrate! Just like...
Alright, alright. Back to business. Even if you choose not to make a donation there are at least three things you should do every single day. Take it from Jimmy himself.
1. "Laugh. You should laugh every day." (You're welcome.)
2. "Think. You should spend some time in thought."
3. "You should have your emotions moved to tears."
A fourth wasn't on Valvano's list but is the motto of the foundation and maybe the most important thing to take away this week: Don't give up, don't ever give up.
If you do, I'll send Willie McGinest after you. Take your pick.
