It’s safe to say that everything happens for a reason, right?… Com se com sa, uh (Ah, you like the French in me, don’t cha? LOL!)? You know, the belief that everything that happens in a person’s life has to happen and that it’s for some greater cause, whether good or bad. I feel that a person can determine a lot of what’s going to happen in his or her life with the decisions made, the attitude carried, and the words spoken (Obviously, this isn’t some secret formula… cracking up!).

The quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles (…not a complete fan of the shade of green as the team’s color, but I digress), Donavan McNabb, was “benched” (taken out of the game; coach’s removal) during a game against the Baltimore Ravens several weeks back. From this benching were stories of his eminent retirement, lost mojo, and being a detriment to the team…

Donovan McNabb Beats Cowboys

Fast forward to today and he’s on top of the world, at least in the commentating world… McNabb is back! He’s the greatest! He’ll be back next year! And all the hype is steaming from his time-out session some weeks back.

I don’t think I want to buy this one… I think just like us-humans, them-humans are indeed human. And, with this human-nality (I’m full of made up stuff today, right?) comes the ups and downs that life deals us sometimes. I know, I know (I do…) they get paid millions to be non-humans, but no, they are. McNabb is having success because he’s a highly-skilled human-athlete, not because the coach thought he wasn’t playing nicely with the others and during that time he analyzed his life’s worth.

I’m good now… I got it out. Breathe. Breathe.
