While visiting Iraq on assignment, KOA Denver reporter Steffan Tubbs was touched by the children forced to survive in such harsh conditions. After talking to several soldiers, he learned that soccer balls are "like gold" in Iraq and the soldiers asked Steffan to send over as many soccer balls as possible when he returned home. Along with the help of his college friend Trevor Slavick, "Little Feet, Big Goals" was started.

Terrell Owens Press Conference (mp3) is available here: http://www.850koa.com/cc-common/podcast.html I just viewed the Terrell Owens press conference on ESPN News.
