Sports– They Mean So Much to Us All
The Indiana-PO-liss Young Equines have put their Super Bowl trophy on tour so that Hoosiers far and wide can experience the incomparable thrill of touching this present day literal idol, their trophy. I was listening to my favorite local radio station (WOWO) the other day, and it was pretty funny. They had some of their broadcasters at the event, interviewing people who came to touch the trophy.
People ranted and raved about how special this was, how much it meant, how wonderful everything was, on and on. The creme de la creme, however, was the sobbing woman.
Even the broadcasters couldn’t believe it. They said, “You’re crying! Why are you crying?” She replied, “Oh, I know, I just can’t help it! It’s so special, etc., sob sob sob!”
Unbelievable. Are that many people’s lives really so shallow?!

Sounds as silly as some of the Wemmicks in Max Lucado’s childrens books.

I had the opportunity to see the Young Equines’ coming-home party/parade right after they won the Super Bowl, as I was staying in Indy that very night. I initially decided “what the world, I won’t get to do this again in my lifetime”, so I drove down towards where the parade was to be. When I got to the near vicinity of the festivities, I reconsidered and left the area. There were people everywhere, it was at least an hour before the parade was to start, and it felt like 100 degrees below zero. Sorry, but I’m not stupid…
