Quote of the Day

Michael 'Pinball' Clemons is a first-first Christian athlete role model. Here's why:

A reporter asked whether he thought people are being too hard to Tiger Woods.

'When you're a public figure, you get a chance, monetarily, to enjoy some pretty good perks.' he replies. 'But there's a balance to that. I wouldn't say that Tiger's worth a billion dollars compared to this school teacher who's doing a phenomenal job over here. Likewise I wouldn't say the amount of criticism he's getting is appropriate, either. I try to pray for first Tiger's family, and then Tiger himself....I find no joy in somebody else's struggle.'

Amen brother.
