Chad Pennington's Marshall University Commencement Speech

This past weekend, Chad Pennington was the speaker at Marshall University's graduation ceremony.  And thanks to YouTube, we can watch the speech in its entirety.  Below is part one of the speech.  Part two is after the jump.  I highly recommend you check it out when you have 18 minutes to spare.

The conclusion of the speech is after the jump...

yea me too

Amazing how he has changed all of our opinions….i know i hated him when he was a Jet.

Also, KC, you probably didn’t see the comment I left to fisx. I’m requesting no more use of the giant FIRST photo – simply because it just takes up too much room and, in threads with a lot of comments, it slows the thread down.

Thanks.

It’s still eligible for use in the CKC though right? CKC = no rules?

i dont care much about the comments – in terms of yahoo picking up the story. It’s just obnoxious – to be honest – and slows the thread down.

Obama gave the speech in 2007 to my school

too bad I graduated in 2006 and had to listen to the governor blab as our speaker.

Same year, 2006, Charles Gibson gave the speech at my GFs graduation – and it was a really good one (he’s a funny guy…who would have thought). And I was stuck with the damn governor of new hampshire for my speech…..yes – i’m still bitter.

by Matty I on May 12, 2009 4:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

hahahahaha...but he wasn't prez yet in 2007 lol...it much different

i’m hoping for someone good at mine in ’12

Some relative to the Kennedy family

gave a speech at UConn on Sunday for my GF’s graduation..it was excellent. Wish I remembered his name.

I don’t have time now but I can’t wait to watch Pennington’s – such a smart and subtly humorous guy must give one hell of a commencement speech.

CP10 is the man....

its funny, at this time a year ago, i really didn’t like this guy..He was humble, he was a professional, but he beat the dolphins every time he had the chance…Now that i get to see what a role-model he is, on and off the field, i am happy that he can call himself a dolphin….hopefully, after his playing career is over, he can be a coach and mentor to the new guys coming into camp
