No, this isn’t a post about the Olympics, although I am way more American that SMM. I have been watching a bunch of Olympiatrics…
This is about youth football. Levi is playing in the Assembly of God Boy’s Developmental League. Last year I helped coach the team. This year I got pegged to be the head coach.
That’s the first blow.
It’s not that I won’t be excited about coaching, it’s that I don’t want to be the head coach of anything. I’ve done that before, and I much prefer to be the super-dedicated assistant coach. But they needed another head coach, and I got the nod.
The insult is that this year we are the Green Eagles.
Yep. Our house is decidedly ANTI-EAGLES. While Levi was in Missouri last week Kim painted his room black and gold. He’s got Steelers blankets, comforters, wall hanging, a neon helmet-wall-hangy thing…We love the Steelers, and hate the Eagles.
I don’t know if we’ll survive having to cheer for the Green this year…Justin is probably laughing his stinkin guts out…

Oh come one. The Eagles aren’t all that bad! Judah will have to come and see Levi’s room. He will be enthralled since he has been begging for a Steelers room. Yeah, you heard me. We do have one lone Steeler’s fan in our home. We do our best to attempt to cheer with him but it kind of makes our stomach’s churn.

just show up wearing black and gold – it’ll make league history – that would make a statement…it’s time to step up
