Blair Walsh Visits Minnesota First-Graders Who Sent Him Supportive Letters

After a first-grade class at an elementary school wrote encouraging letters to Blair Walsh, who duffed a kick that would have allowed the Vikings to beat the Seahawks, he visited the kids today at Northpoint Elementary School in Blaine, Minn.

Good kids.
