the good old days revived by a team

Remember the good old days? Eating your Wheaties and admiring Bruce Jenner on the box, running to school imagining the day you would run like a pro? Throwing the football in the back yard with the neighborhood kids and fighting over who was going to be Terry Bradshaw? The days when women baked pies and men held open doors? We thought those days were dead and buried  the memories preserved as if cryonic in our hearts.

The Kansas city chiefs have stepped up remind us of what football heroes and legends are made of.  According to NFL Ian Rapport, the sole survivor of a family tragedy, baby Zoey, will be well provided for by her father's team mates. Zoey's guardian or her estate will receive $108,000 a year through her infancy to cover all pediatric medical expenses. When she is 5, she will receive $48,000, then $52,000 a year until she is 18 or 23, depending on if she goes to college.

God always finds a way to use these life shockers to renew the minds and hearts. Even though Belcher shot Perkins, leaving their only daughter a martyr of the times, the renewed hope and faith in those we hold in high esteem sheds light on the goodness of mankind. Very American of you boys to step up to the plate. I hope you show up at her birthday parties and tell stories of what strong and noble stock she comes from. America is watching; shine on you brilliant heroes, shine!
