“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” -- Oscar Wilde
Tom Zbikowski was a good football player, good enough to be an All-America safety and punt returner at the University Notre Dame and good enough to have been drafted in the third round by Baltimore, where he launched a five-year NFL career with the Ravens and Indianapolis Colts. However, even as he excelled while wearing a helmet and shoulder pads, Zbikowski had a longing in his heart for another sport which he has always considered to be his first and most enduring love: boxing.
