The Greatest...Let Down

In 1970 when I was in the seventh grade my dad took me down to Cherokee Hardware in Athens Tennessee to buy a pair of white football cleats.  In those days white cleats where very brash.  I did it because my hero was Joe Namath and I wanted to be just like him.  I have always liked the person who was brave enough to say he was great and talented enough to pull it off.   John McEnroe and Muhammad Ali are two other favorites. 


As I have grown older I have learned one serious lesson, just because you are the greatest doesn’t mean you will stay the greatest.  Your body will eventually deny you that title.  Ironic that the thing that gave it too you is also the thing that will take it away.  Serious life lessons!

"Faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is Love."
