Every Underdog Has His Day…
Posted by VeRonda Wicks December 30th, 2008I think the title says it all… You know, I’m like my mom in that I always shoot for the underdog. I just like seeing someone unexpected come out on top. The Baltimore Ravens’ story is no different.
The whole idea of the underdog is that no one expects you to succeed, to win. And then, when you do (if you do… LOL!), you have some unexpected bandwagoners (Is that a word? Well, you get the point, right?).
Well, I’m a believer in the notion that “bandwagoners” or no, you have to do your thing… You know, give it all you’ve got. The Ravens’ story was an inspirational one for me in that they competed every week, win or lose, and now, they’ve made it to the playoffs… The story is something that reassures me that I can make it to the playoffs in my life: the best wife, a great writer, a terrific friend, a curious traveler of all the world, and whatever else I put my mind to.
So, “bandwagoners” or no, remember the playoffs of your life and do what you have to do to get there.

Thanks for pressing pass the dirt to comment… The Browns will have their day. Hey, last year the Ravens was crying on eachother’s shoulders, too.
