Well it's opening night of the NFL season.........some clown who has become fabulously wealthy as compensation for playing a game on a football field rather than having to work a regular like most of us & which provides some entertainment to others decides he's going to sit out the time to rise for the US anthem.................I turned it off. Disgusted!Teri in NC said:
The NFL should drop-kick every last one of the protesters over the stadium walls for good or during the game they protest.....make them sell pop-corn & soda-pop in the stands.
RAIDER said:
Or pick up the popcorn and soda cans after the game.....or clean the parking lot tailgating party trash....or clean the porta-potties or bathrooms. ANYTHING but play the game.
Like that too.Teri in NC said:

A couple of months ago I scoped out this kayak at a sporting good store but thinking & praying about it, I just didn't see it in the budget. So I asked the Lord to supply the desire of my heart for fishing. This week a gentleman who is a customer of mine & who lives on the Chattahoochee River north of Atlanta invited me to fish at his place after an installation. So, I took my fishing gear & he showed me his new kayak. Then he told me I could use it anytime I wanted there on the river to do all the fishing I wanted, anytime I wanted.
So, God answered my prayer in His way. Ain't God good?

I noticed twice today that the NFL games are no longer showing the National Anthem are part of the TV broadcast.....
Has anyone else noticed?

They showed it during preseason games this year.Twisted said:
I did mean the regular season & the preseason.Twisted said:
I kinda think that the networks have cut it out to keep the fans watching & to minimize the ignorant players from protesting.

I did notice that they showed the players on the opening game - Patriots and Chiefs. There was actually a tribute mixed in for a special group if I remember correctly. While they did not show anyone sitting or kneeling, there were a multitude of players that did not place their hands over their heart. Burns me every time!
When I was the pastor of a country church in a farming community, I found that the best time to visit the men was during milking of the cows. I knew where they would always be. Besides they would have someone to talk to other than the cows.
One time I took my my son with when he was about 5 yrs old, he liked to climb up in the haylofts & play. The farmer while milking looked over at me & asked if my son had something against cats. When I asked why he had me look through a door to the outside. Kittens were flying & landing on the ground. I yelled asking my son what was going on. His answer was, "I DON'T LIKE CATS DADDY." I taught him well.
My wife insisted that I spray off my boots and put my clothes straight into the washer before entering the house

Among many other duties I was a bus pastor in a country church and invited Roy Moffitt to come and speak to my bus workers on a Saturday for our bus workers meeting. After the meeting the two of us with the bus Captain went to visit his bus route . Roy said he wanted to show the bus worker how to visit at every house by jumping out of the vehicle and running up to the door. I pulled into the driveway of one place and Roy jumped out of the vehicle and began running up to the door. From under a tree off to one side came an angry Great Dane. Roy immediately turned into a different totally guy. He became a boxer retreating into a corner while throwing punches at the giant dog all the way across the front lawn.
I really don't know how the dog missed biting him or how he missed the dog's nose with his punches but neither connected. One thing is for sure I sure had a big laugh.

After the comments from Commissioner Goodell about what Mr Trump said about firing players who sat during the National Anthem I have decided no more NFL for me this year at all. And that's from someone who watched Dick Butkus at Soldier Field when he play for my Chicago Bears. Some would call that a longtime NFL fan, but no longer.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
