There are probably a couple of fathers in El Paso that would like to introduce Jonathon Montanez to their teenage daughters.

That's a warm and fuzzy.

It is a stereotype like any other but kids with developmental disabilities often are really loving and inspirational.

I miss Lindy West so much. I read Jezebel but... it's just not the same.

Sometimes even on the darkness days, when all the news in the world is bad, something like this comes along and restores your faith in the youth of the world.

Awww....we're all winners today! Let's all head down to the trophy shop and have some good guy badges engraved!

there oughtta be a moment like this on every high school sports team. and, regardless of records or scores or whatever, they oughtta be taken into consideration by college recruiters.

Oh man... I am bawling. Some might say it was patronizing, but fuck it - that was a beautiful moment for everybody.

It's a great story, but there are kids like this all over, but since they're not "interesting" (criminal) you won't see them in the media.

Jesus fuck @16. You really have to be "that guy"? Fuck off.

@17 Just a new trolling account for KM or GDfR.Their lives are pathetic enough as it is. Let them wallow here in their own misery. At least it keeps them out of public.
