Oh, I forgot the Byzantine Forum cyberspace goes beyond the Pittsburgh city limits, my bad. Troy is a football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will play in the Super Bowl (the World Cup of American-brand football  ) on Sunday Feb. 1, 2009. When I started this thread, I was looking to post a photo but realized BCF doesn't have that feature yet. Ung

Double yoi!
The Cardinals will suffer a debacle! The Arizona type Cardinal, of course.

Hi,
I like football, not a big fan, but I can watch a full game without itching (very few sports can claim that from me).
Mr. Polamalu gave us an example of how important it is to be ready when you find yourself in the right place at the right time.
If just all of our pastoral ministers were like that!
His interception towards the end of yesterday'a game was bautifully executed and assured his time the pass to the big game (which, by the way is not like the World Cup, since it is restricted to teams from the "National" Football League and it is therefore, a strictly domestic event)
Indeed, way to go!
Shalom,
Memo

Memo, I was trying to make an analogy for Anhela.

Call me dense but I fail to see the connection between Troy Polamalu being now an Orthodox Christian (less than 2 years) and his success as a football player. He was already an indispensable part of the Steelers' 2006 Super Bowl Champions even before he converted to Greek Orthodoxy in October 2007, presumably upon the "urging" of his wife, Theodora Holmes, the younger sister of TE Alex Holmes of the Miami Dolphins (now with the St. Louis Rams?) and teammate of Troy at USC. (Hint: Theodora's mother is a full-blooded Greek!) And he was a budding football player in high school and became very good in college at USC which made him the 16th pick overall in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Steelers. He has made the Pro Bowl already five straight times: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. He is a cinch for the 2009 Pro Bowl. He has got talent and it shows! Go Cardinals, of Arizona, that is.  Amado
