I Hate ESPN

It’s only May and they are talking about if Brett Favre will again suit up this year. Who cares about such nonsense here in New York?  Not many I bet except for ESPN who seem to have been short on stories today. 

The real football story starts this summer: Spirituality With Football Rules.  ESPN might not be there but you can. 

Summer is Nigh

Summer's coming and even though we are totally immersed in baseball our minds start to think about weekends in front of the TV.  I want you to start thinking that football and spirituality have much in common.

End Over End

End over end it sails and as we hold our collective breaths we wonder in those few seconds if it will be good or no good.  The tapestry of spirituality blankets us when we are in doubt of the outcome and if it is “no good” we can breathe deep and kick it again. 

Pages Upon Pages

The book of football rules has 208 pages in its hard cover form.   Spirituality has been written about in many thousands of pages it’s time we read a few of them.  

Hold on Loosely

When we carry the football we carry it with the firmest grip possible, lest it get knocked from our possession and into the hands of our opponent. 

Spirituality on the other hand can be carried quite loosely and if someone knocks it from our grasp we won’t mind because we will still have it.

Without Air

The football has to be properly inflated for the quarterback to throw a successful completion to its intended receiver but spirituality requires no such “air” it only needs an intention and with that it carries a guaranteed reception. 

The NFL draft is this week’s sensation on all the sports networks and talk radio programs.  We get festive about who might be going where. While spirituality sits and never gets picked up in the first round.
