NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Tennessee Titans linebacker Tim Shaw, diagnosed with ALS in 2014, signed a one-day contract with the team and was deemed a Titan for life by the franchise Wednesday.Earlier in the week he spoke to the entire roster.It means the world to have this organization behind me, Shaw told the teams website. It is going to make a difference in my life, but really it is going to make a difference in more peoples lives because the ALS community needs recognition and we need support like this. ... It really does mean the world.ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrigs disease, attacks motor neurons, cells that control the muscles.Shaws mother, father, brother and sister-in-law joined him Wednesday at the teams recently remodeled headquarters.I could tell by the look on his face how honored he is to be a Titan for life and to realize he is making a difference in not just our lives, but the lives of players here and beyond, his dad, John Shaw, said.For me, it is sad because I realize one of the reasons he is here is because of the disease he has, and that is just hard. He is dealing with it in the most honorable, wonderful way. But without that, realizing he probably wouldnt be here and doing this, that just made me sad today, too.Shaw, 32, played in every game during his three seasons with the Titans from 2010 to 2012, and he served as a special teams captain.Cheap Shoes Wholesale .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey.

We basically stopped doing the things we were doing in the first half. I think we took the foot off the pedal to be truthful.But we had four one-on-ones in the second half to put the game out of sight. Thats the nature of the game.Mariners coach Paul Okon said he was proud of his teams fightback.Theres a bit of us that feels disappointed that we didnt go on and win, Okon said.Our first half, conceding so early, set us back a bit. We lost confidence, and we were a bit nervous, afraid to make more mistakes.But the second half is the type of football we want to play. To do that you need the ball, you need to be brave, and we did that. ' ' '
