Sports Illustrated Still On the Mark

Good article on the ChiSox perfect game…that’s why I like SI, it lets you get to know the players as people. One of the more interesting tidbits was that the OF wall mural CF Wise crashed into was a pitcher that lost a perfect game with two out in the last inning.

Liked the Tebow article as well. Interesting how most jaded journalists will roll their eyes when a player brings up religion, but two old-timers (Austin Murphy and Tony Barnhart) both can see how genuine Tebow is. I’ve never seen so much scripture and simple theology in such a liberal publication…the plan of salvation was clearly outlined. Don’t know if you saw Barnhart’s recent AJC.com college football blog, where he called out other writers for making Tebow’s virginity an issue. The rest of that blog was the better part.

Also the story about the girls who carried the injured softball opponent around the bases. Saw them on the 2008 ESPYs, but I thought they should’ve been invited to play in the MLB celebrity softball game.

The same Tebow issue Point After column told of a borderline NFL LB’s success, getting others to multiply his good deeds. Similar to when NP gave out dollar bills to everyone, telling them to use it for good.

When Ceil did get home last night she was tied up on the phone for another hour…our Virginia friend’s mother died. It was expected. We’re going to Anderson SC Sunday for the funeral.
