`Kayso, now that school's done...just waiting for grades...I can really react to the craziness of the NFL offseason. You know, it really hurt when the Steelers cut Hines Ward. It hurt, because he was the last Steeler from the Steelers team of my childhood. They're all gone now, and it's so sad...I really wanted Hines to go out as a champion, like Jerome did. What softened the blow, I think though, is what he did today. Out of respect for the fans, he retired as a Steeler. He took the high road. Pittsburgh cuts him (and Dan Rooney's in Ireland going, "WAT!?"), and although he doesn't retire at first, he eventually does take the high road. I just think that what the team did was really low, after Hines offered to take a pay cut. They let Jerome do that, why not Hines?
Next, Peyton Manning. Um...he's a Bronco now?? Yeah. Um is right. And Brandon Jacobs and Mario Manningham of the Giants. Wasn't Manningham the one who caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI? I'm confused...
Lastly - school. I have most of my grades, except for one. That's taking a little while, not sure why. But I took five classes in one subterm, because I didn't want any surprises when I got down to Virginia (the last subterm ends a day before graduation). And felt not quite myself for a good part of that. I got through it, though, ordered my cap and gown last night, and it's off to Virginia in early May. I have a couple of my papers that I think I'm going to post for anyone who's interested. My Christian ethics paper on urban ministry, and my Systematic Theology paper on the role of women in the church, both of which pertain to me directly. I'm at my parents' right now, recovering from surgery, but I'm going back to my apartment tomorrow, so I'll do some reformatting and post those for you guys (I don't think Facebook accepts footnotes). And again, for those of you who maybe didn't see my sermon from the fall semester, here's the link if you want to see it -
