One of those things...

I have written before that I spend far more time reading about the NFL and playing madden more than I do actually watching it, or doing fantasy. (which I haven't done yet, thank humanity).

So tommorow will come a giant post about Star Wars and episode 3, but in that notion of doing the big thing, I'll post this quote by Colts LB Gary Brackett. There is and article from the latest ESPN mag that is all about the man, who pretty much had everything bad happen to him. This is a quote from the interview that preceded the profile.

This kind of ties in with my Calvin and Hobbes article, which means I loved it for what it brings up in terms of emotion.

"When I was younger, a coach asked a team I was on, 'Have any of you ever been run over by an elephant or struck by lightning?' No one raised their hand. Then he asked us, 'Has anyone been stung by a bee?' And we all raised our hands. 'See,' he said, 'life is all about the little things.' Everyone worries about the big things, but life is about the little things. It's not about the Super Bowl but all the tiny little things you do in the process of trying to win that Super Bowl.
