This post, and the last post, are a little bit country. However I am more than definitely a little bit rock 'n roll. But when something this sweet and heartwarming comes around it must be posted.
Two proven superstars — on the music charts and on the football field — were no match for some young patients at Cook Children's Medical Center.
Country singer Garth Brooks and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman on Tuesday picked up video-playing pointers from hospitalized kids in Fort Worth.
The crooner and the Dallas Cowboy-turned-television-sportscaster helped unveil an updated therapeutic playroom for patients called the Zone Playroom.
Brooks joined forces with the NHL, the NHL Players Association and the entertainer's own Teammates for Kids Foundation to donate the space. The area formerly was known as Aikman's End Zone.

Ok, take a break. OMG. That is so sweet.
"We wanted to do something for them because they spend all day in their bedrooms," Aikman said, "and we just wanted to get them out of there so they could have a little bit of fun."
Brooks, wearing a cowboy hat, at one point popped the topper on the head of Aikman, whose efforts at video air guitar still failed. Brooks, turning to card games, played Go Fish with several children.

As someone who has had a family member treated at Cook's this really warms my heart. But as sweet as it is, I think Mandy and I could both kick Troy's ass at Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
