This video was emailed to me by mom. This restores my faith in humanity, and gives me hope for the future of baseball:

Superbowl Thoughts

I'll admit I'm not a football fan, but Michelle was out of town, and I had the house and couch all to myself. I rounded up some snacks and watched the Superbowl.
Cool game tonight! Here's some random thoughts:
- Were people booing Muhsin Muhammad when the team captains were introduced? Please correct me if I'm wrong on that and it was like a "Bruuuuce!" thing for The Boss.
- What an exciting game! Close and lots of action.
- People seem to play football in Florida during rainfall about as well as they drive in Florida during rainfall - Badly!
- I respect the camera men all the more when they get wiped out!
- It was fun for a while to watch the Colts offense just bounce off of the Bears defensive guys. Those guys are huge! Run run run! *Bonk!* Fall down!
- How much would it suck to be Rex Grossman right now? How bad do you gotta fowl up in a Superbowl?
- Can Manning shut the hell up for once and just throw the ball? OK, I get that's like his thing but it gets a little obnoxious to watch. Although, you can't argue with success - or a trophy.
- Two African American head coaches battling it out in the Superbowl (not to mention an African American half-time show headliner). Finally. It aint over yet, though, people.
Lastly, when I hear stories of people like Tony Dungy, who has never raised his voice or sworn in front of his players (except when saying he would go on The Best Damn Sports Show Ever). I'm inspired. I think, "Gee, I should be like that guy." They say he commands respect not because he inspires fear, but because his players don't want to let him down. What a cultivator! Good work, Dungy.
Softball
I played softball about a month ago with a team from my church. I kept meaning to blog about it before the fact, then after the fact, but time got away from me! Without further ado, my first "sports" post ever!
I have this to say up front: there is a reason I was in band all through high-school and majored in music in college. I'm not athletic. My body is alright, but I'm just not skilled at such things. I would point my glove, extend my throwing arm back, look towards where I want to throw, let it lose - and the ball would go... in a completely different direction. I couldn't bat to save my life - and this is softball. I actually struck out. Believe it.
