I have a lunch meeting today at the hospital with Mark, then I meet Jim, and I am also scheduled to volunteer. That bodes well for an exciting day. I just may see some contacts or future hosts for speaking gigs. I'll have my business cards with me just in case.
Watching the Monday night football game last night with Dad was exciting. I have to marvel at the announcers and media. Favre is the quarterback for the Jets now, and his illustrious career sets precedence for quarterbacks of today's players. Like last night the quarterback for San Diego (Rivers) was said to have posters of Favre in his room years ago, and he idolized Favre and other greats while he grew up. Favre is in fact a living legend, but he may have already had his successes. Based on last night's performance his days are in fact numbered. It may just be his unfamiliarity with learning the new offense for New York, but if he truly has declined that much it is a shame. Why would you not rather leave the game you love (NFL) while on top than prolong your career with a subpar performance on a subpar team. It may have just been a fluke, and the Jets may be very successful this year. Afterall, it was his deciision to unretire, because he loves the game of football. The man's inategrity should njot be in question for he plays with heart and soul. It's too bad all players had his intensity and determination. Sports would be a better place if all professional athletes played with the sasme tenacity that Farve does and salary or popularity were not so important to so many players. Brett Favre truly is an excellent role model for todays youth.
