respect...

football is a great game... however,something that happened on November 14,1970 actually changed my viewpoint slightly about it... on that night,a DC-9 carrying seventy one passengers and four crew crashed just short of the airport outside Huntington,West Virginia... it was the plane carrying the 1970 Marshall University football team,staff,and some parents,that night... you probably know that story,folks... people have said that winning is everything,including Packers' great Vince Lombardi,but when something like that happened(and other plane crashes that have taken entire teams away,like the Wichita State plane crash that took away most of that team,too),you simply realize that football is only a game (a fun,great game,i may add,but only a game)... i deeply love the Packers(i wear a Packers' hat almost every day),and i root for "my team" every game that they play,and "hate" every opponent that plays the Packers,but i always remember that it is only a game,because sometimes true life intrudes on the game,and then you realize that it is only a game... to those seventy five victims of that tragic plane crash,i mournfully and respectfully tip my hat to each and every one of them...
