Morris diary: Basrah, Baghdad and Super Bowl in Kuwait
By Sammy Morris | New England Patriots
Morris' diary
New England Patriots running back Sammy Morris spent a week in Kuwait and Iraq visiting the troops during Super Bowl week. Morris filed these stories about his trip for NFL.com, along with some photos.
As this is my last entry about my visit to the troops in Kuwait and Iraq, I have to start by saying that I have a newfound respect for what the men and women serving our country do over here! I've been here just over a week and I'm already a wreck! I left my clippers stateside, thinking I wouldn't shave as part of my "tough it out with troops" mentality and then I realized, "Crap, they are required to be clean shaven!"
As a result, my face and neck are like sandpaper and all this dust flying around isn't helping! I wonder if the troops exfoliate. At any rate, not only am I in dire need of a meet-and-greet with some clippers, my body in general is feeling the effects of the trip. I already stated the complications of the time change. That, accompanied by the horrible diet I'm maintaining, has me ready to join one of those fad diets for the next three days!
