Today we must get better
Sitting back watching all the preseason games go by I must admit that it sucks! Last year this time I was still rehabbing from a very extensive toe surgery and I worried that I may not be able to come back from it. Well here I am a whole season and 3 playoff games later sitting and watching. Time is a 'mutha'! As a seasoned veteran in the NFL it seems as though I must have done something extremely wrong. I know this league is like any other job. If you piss the wrong person off you may never work again in this league. Hhhmmm, maybe I pissed someone off...maybe I did just that! As I sit and watch I KNOW I can still play! I know I can make things happen on the field! Hell I still wanna play! I try to prepare myself daily for my next opportunity to step back on the field! In the meantime I try to find ways to keep myself busy by doing radio shows, TV shows, community work, volunteering, working out, being a daddy and a husband and at the same time renovating our home. Even with things not being exactly how I want them I'm still not worried because I know God has a plan for me! It amazes me to see people that think they have life all figured out. God can throw a curve ball at them at any moment. In relation to football I say that because sometimes coaches get caught up in making it personal with players and having favorites. God does not choose favorites he allows us to bury ourselves. People cannot control other peoples' fate no matter how much they think they can. There is a higher power! Wake up every morning remind yourself of that and tell yourself "today I must get better" and then spend each day doing just that!

I like a quote that says something like... "If you want to see God laugh, tell him your plans."
Of course the way we want things to work out, is not the way it often goes. But if you stay patient, focused, and open to what He has in store, everything works out for the best.
Have a great season!

All one can do is work hard and live clean. There is no such thing as luck, only opportunities. You must be ready when an opportunities presents itself.
