This is the first time I'm posting something, but I thought that this a good time to say something. My brother wrote me something today that really made me think. "God is sad . . . " That was all. I think that it says enough. Playing football or any other sport would definitely help the nation in healing, but I think that our energies would be better spent on those that are affected by this. I personally do not know anyone who has persished in this attack, but I have lost people close to me.

Time heals all wounds, and if it takes a weekend to get the nation back on its feet, what's a couple more days, or a week. Do we really lose anything by taking time to reflect on those things that really matter in this world, because God knows, we never look at things until it's too late.

I told my brother that I loved him and also my wife. We should never underestimate the power of love. Love heals . . . To think that the NFL was somehow ". . . patently stupid and, frankly, playing right into the hands of the cowards that perpetrated this crime," is just not true. If anyone out there has lost someone special or has been a vicitim of a crime, it will always take time and love to defeat those fears. Take a few days to tell those around you how much they mean and how important they are . . . you never know . . .
