Lessons from a backup QB

September 17th, 2008

Alex Forrest has a good column on BP Sports about Matt Cassel.

Cassel’s story challenges me to persevere in quiet discipline regardless of what role I’m called to play (or not). Discipline bears fruit and there is a reward for perseverance. That’s true in football, and Scripture makes clear that it is true in God’s kingdom as well.

Also, in recent days, Gordon Cloud and Paul Shirley have written columns for BP Sports as well.

  1. It also instructs one in the wisdom of planning for that “one heartbeat away” situation. I’m rooting for Cassel this year. One, because I like an underdog who makes good. Two, because he’s my #3 QB in fantasy.
