Then again… Money ain’t everything.

Right now, at 12 noon eastern time, history will be made and Barack Obama will be sworn in as our new president.
I love this picture because it reminds us all of the weight of a leader, the weight our president carries and regardless of your feelings on the man, he needs our prayers.
After every sporting event, the talking heads on ESPN ask the question, “Did the Steelers win or did the Cowboys lose?” In this case, the Steelers won.
The simple math is this, the Cowboys turned the ball over 5 times. You do not win in the NFL if that happens.
Many talking heads point to the fact that in spite of this fact, they were still in position to win at the end of the game, save for a horrendous pass by Romo. At the same time, with a little over 5 minutes to go, the Cowboys were up 13-6. The Steelers drive 67 yards to score with 2:04 to go to tie it up. 20 seconds later, glory. Deshea Townsend intercepts it and goes to the house for the win.
The Steelers still have not given up 300 yards to another team’s offense, even to the high powered Cowboys. One guy said Romo has trouble in cold weather, which is too bad. But funny. The Steelers were still able to win, even though they did not rush for over 65 yards. Roethlisberger put them on his back and won the game. Kind of like Romo couldn’t do.
One made mistakes at the wrong time, the other made none. No interceptions for Roethlisberger proved to be the difference.

Alright Cowboy fans, let me hear it. Tell me how the Cowboys lost this one.
Yesterday was the first time that I had been out for a ride (I’ve been running recently). I did a 20 mile loop that I have done a hundred times, only this time I missed a turn. My 20 mile, 1 hour loop quickly became almost 40 miles and over 2 and a half hours. This morning, I can barely move. I feel like an old dude.
Katie and I are huge 24 fans. We got sucked into the show after it had been on for a few years and went back and got caught up. We watched the first 3 seasons in what feels like a week.
Last night’s 24 was such a tease and I cannot wait for January 11th? How many times can Tony Almeida come back and how many times can he die? And is Jon Voight not the perfect bad guy?
I was a history major in college. How many people thought this night would come? A night when we would elect African American president. Amazing. What a historic night in the history of our country.
I’m praying for Barack Obama and the burden of leadership he will take on as president.
