re: My Dad passed away this past Sunday..

Of all the games I've attended over the years the only one I ever attended with my father was the most memorable one. He taught me how to find something positive out of a negative situation. I was grumbling before the kickoff about the Saints not being very good and they were playing the Cowboys and they were going to get stomped. He pointed out that he was looking forward to seeing a Pro Football game with some of the best athletes in the world. I was a young boy and Archie was in his rookie season. By the end of the game the Saints had beaten the Cowpokes 24-14 and I had gotten to see Archie, Danny Abramowicz, Bob Pollard and Richard Neal for the Saints. I also witnessed Roger Staubach take over the reigns for Craig Morton and watched Bob Lilly. Bob Hayes Lee Roy Jordan play and Mike Ditka playing t.e. That day I was able to learn to focus not only on the game itself but on the individual battles and get a better appreciation of the game and of life in general.
