I’ve relocated that spark for football love. As such I’m watching a thrilling Raiders v. Cowboys game and loving watching football. I still struggle with playing Madden. I struggle with anything remotely connected to the NY Giants franchise. In truth I’m libel to go change my franchise to the Browns, move the dang team and start fresh. The point I’m making is this: Being a fan (read: Servant) to a specific team can have a detrimental effect on your enjoyment of the sport if you allow the love of your team to override the love of your sport. I did that.
Maybe this Wednesday we see a waiver wire, eh?
Some Thoughts:
- I’m thinking about the football semi-final where my youngest kid had the ball ripped out of his hand and it cost his team the game. That failure affected him. I watched the kid redouble his football research and completely change the way he holds the ball to the point where people openly comment about the new hold all of the time. He hasn’t fumbled since. That’s the kind of dedication you don’t see out of an 8 yr old very often.
- Now I gotta get my butt in a chair and start moving on being that productive writer dude. I feel once again on the cusp of a lot of great things, but that edge is lined with razor wire and it’s electrified. It is simply a matter of fighting through–of battling my inner lazy and winning. It can be done.
