This Story Inspires Me

The link above will take you to a brief story about how a Superstar Quarterback in the NFL stopped after his game last Sunday to help a couple with a flat tire.

This is nothing huge, but it is nice to see a human face on an NFL athlete. In a time when most off the field reports about NFL players involve law breaking this is a breath of fresh air.

I think the NFL would do well to capitalize more on feel good stories like this about their athletes. Earlier this year during the NFL training camps there was an article about many of the pranks, running jokes and whatnot that occurred in the sixties, seventies and eighties at NFL training camps. The article went on to comment in the end that the most recent training camps have become too business oriented for so much personality to survive. The NFL needs personality and it isn't gone. Many of these players are great role models. It is time to see more of them and less of the ones with major off field issues.

Chocolate Milk Rice

A few months ago I wrote a story about making chocolate milk rice with a guy I met named Nathan at a Pot Luck. Here are some pics to go along with the story. To view the blog in which I tell the story click here. To read just the story about the choco rice scroll down and I've got a section headed "Random Story Time!"

Take care all, God Bless.
