East Carolina University's football team welcomed an honorary Pirate Saturday when 8-year-old Noah Roberts scored a touchdown during the final game of the spring practice season.

Roberts, who suffers from a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis, ran the ball into the end zone as his teammates blocked, providing a clear path down the field. After Roberts completed the play, he was lifted onto the shoulders of his teammates, who chanted his name.

"If you didn't have goosebumps or a tear in your eye, you may want to check your pulse after that one," ECU offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley told Inside ECU Sports after the play.

"Catching Fire" is out in theaters on Nov. 22.

Here's something to think about while you sit in traffic this morning: According to a study by researchers in Sweden, if you have a long commute, you're more likely to DIE.

People who have commutes that are longer than 30 miles are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease.

Long commutes also cause people higher levels of stress . . . and they DIE at a younger age than people with short commutes.

If you have a long commute, you take more sick days, on average . . . AND you gain more weight. And the LONGER the commute is, the more it hurts your health.

The effects of a long commute are more severe for women than men . . . and people with low levels of education and low salaries are more affected.

And in a previous study, the researchers found that people with long commutes are more likely to get DIVORCED.
