He immediately knelt to his level. Such a humble man.

[@Joseph-ny5rr]

Thats the first thing I noticed too.

[@thepennsylvanian9280]

I was really hoping he did that

[@brittanykissner3721]

Also how he asked if he (Tennyson) wanted to hold the ball or not. A small detail, however a very considerate one.

[@BK-uy9nj]

I valeted for Larry when I was younger and he sat and talked with me for like five minutes and let me take a picture. Dude was so nice, videos dont give it justice. He is the guy who will talk to you in the middle of the night after entertaining others and give you your time with him. I cant say this about any other celebrity or athlete. He is a gift.

[@maryhupf4915]

What a run for that touchdown! The entire team was great about supporting Tennyson! The players and athletes that take time for kids and their communities are incredible men!

[@drewsky1967]

Not sure if there is a single person on earth that has a single bad thing to say about Fitz. He is the NFL’s best person.

For Larry there should be special place in Hall Fame for people like him.

[@weskleist1454]

Christopher Waters there really should be and you know what really sucks the way he’s ending his career with such a terrible coach like Steve wills

I'm a huge Cowboys can but Larry Fitzgerald always been my favorite receiver ever since he came in the league. The world needs more guys like Larry. God bless you man.

[@estabeezy]

Lincoln hawk I respect you sir 👍🏼

[@jordanking2488]

i’m a cowboys fan too and larry fitzgerald is one of my favorite players all time

[@MikePlacer]

Larry fitz should be the face of football just like Jordan is for basketball he is the most inspirational player.

[@fredrickbutts2392]

Michael Place Jordan is not the face. Just the goat. He is an asshole.

[@reedaraiza8622]

Larry is the GOAT fuck Jerry

[@digitalsalsas]

michael jordan is a selfish Dbag what are you talking about

[@michaelpeters317]

Fredrick Butts Jordan isn’t the face of the NBA it’s lebron or steph or Kevin and I agree Larry should be the face because of the stuff he does off the field

[@R3LO4D3D]

Love MJ but the dude is an asshole.

[@tmge0515]

that's why larry called legend. much respect from japanese Cards fan.

[@JulianGarcia-tf2nw]

Do you like Larry's nickname 'the Japanese fighting fish'

[@KingNekro]

Wow. That's awesome. You're the first Cardinals/Suns fan I've met from Japan! I'm a Cardinals and Suns fan from Arizona. It doesn't matter what part of the world you're from, if you're a Cards/Suns fan you're family to me. 👌 Hopefully Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins lead the Cardinals to the Super Bowl next season, and Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton lead the Suns to NBA finals. 🙏

[@KingNekro]

@Marc Baker For sure. It might be a better decade for AZ sports this time in the 2020s. 2010s were pretty bad. But things are looking up. Kyler Murray isn't perfect yet. Still has a few issues to work on, notably keeping his cannon of an arm in check. Sometimes launching the ball at a million miles an hour isn't the best play. He seems to have at the very least made the 2nd year leap into being an elite QB like Mahomes and Jackson before him. He's just a top 5 nightmare player for defenses to go up against in the league. And with Hopkins, it's extremely difficult to stop both of them for long. And having a real defense and special teams finally makes me very happy with where the Cards are rn. And the Suns showed in the NBA bubble the growth, confidence, and maturity I've been waiting for from that young team. They came focused, stayed focused, and won all 8 games. Coach Monty is the real deal, Devin Booker finally got to play meaningful basketball and excelled in it, and Bridges and Ayton really look like future NBA All-Defense candidates. Rubio is a great veteran leader, and his playstyle fits this roster so well. Cam Johnson is the perfect type of 3 and D role player every contender loves to have. etc... I'm excited to watch them play and grow more, the future just should be bright as the Sun.

[@KingNekro]

@Marc Baker I hope so. Just praying nobody gets injured or anything like that -knock on wood-. Good luck to the Panthers as well. I hate to see players from any team get injured. Even rivals. I felt bad for the 49ers past few weeks with Kittle, Bosa, Jimmy G, and more getting injured. Not as satisfying to beat teams cause their key players are injured.

[@orangeboy97]

Seahawks fan here, but during this video I was a Cardinals fan. How can anyone dislike this? Great job Cardnals Organization, this is what football should be about. I've always liked Fitzgerald as a player, but this just makes me appreciate him more.

[@fullcountpros8439]

Go hawks!

[@rams3955]

+Tall Random Guy Im a rams fan and i've always had tons of respect of Larry Fitz the dude is just a pro on and off the field.

Respect to him.

[@irfanmirza5094]

But what sucks is that he hasn't won a super bowl yet. He absolutely deserves one

[@jyronejackson4744]

Larry is a real stand up guy, and whoever is behind this program is Heaven sent.

Watching kids going through something like this is so hard to watch... and I should know. Back in 2009, my little sister got leukemia. I’m glad that she survived.

Definitely

Awesome person Larry

Larry: Are you sure you want to be that far away from your mom and dad? Tennyson: It's just two hours! Honestly, that may be one of the most pure and most adorable thing I have ever heard in my life.

I really hope this kid works hard to accomplish his dream. I would be kind of hilarious if he did eventually get drafted by the Cards to play football.

I’m sitting here watching these videos crying. My 7 year old cousin was just diagnosed with neuroblastoma for the second time in his life, the first when he was only 1. No one should have to go through any of that. Let alone twice. Thank you to make a wish for helping these kids be happy even if it’s for a day or a week. You don’t have to but if anyone sees this and wants to make my cousins day by writing a message on his page. His page is Jaces Journey on Facebook. Him and his mom go through all the comments together on the update posts.
