Time for some links to end this weekend, mainly including links about Pat Tillman, and some video clips from ''The Tillman Legacy'' which aired on Fox Sports Arizona earlier this week.

Pat Tillman's sacrifice still resonates around the world
Even as violence ensues, with the staccato of gunfire and suicide bombs serving as background music, soldiers at Kandahar Airfield are thinking of Pat Tillman. "When I look at the power of him in his football uniform and realize all that he gave up for his country, I am just in awe," said Chief Warrant Officer Judith Treadway, who is stationed at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. Seven years removed from his beyond-reproach accidental death, it's hard to not to think of Tillman, the toughness, independence and bravery all rolled up into the ultimate tangible image of sacrifice.
