“Love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8)
“Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” (Vince Lombardi)
Mike & Mike reported this morning that Michael Vick leads all Pro Bowl voting. Not long ago, he was the most hated man in the NFL. Then he became, well, amazing.
Cam Newton just won the 2010 Heisman Award. His season at Auburn has been nagged by controversy, yet his stellar play and his team’s undefeated record have shone through it all.
Meanwhile, I heard some sports radio talk guy hypothesizing the other day about Josh McDaniels’ firing. He noted that Broncos’ owner Pat Bowlen was openly troubled by the cheating allegations while the Broncos were playing in London. The radio guy was wondering -- cynically, but not unjustifiably -- how horrified by the whole affair Mr. Bowlen would have been if the Broncos had a .750 winning percentage and were atop the AFC West.
The point is this… The Bible says that love covers over a multitude of sins. And in sports, you see, we love winners.
