We're praying for you, Kevin Everett


You've no doubt heard by now about Buffalo tight end Kevin Everett's severe spinal injury suffered in the Bills' game against the Broncos. Please keep him in your thoughts. We know we are.

I've been on a few playing fields in my life, and maybe you have, too. Great athletes -- whether Pop Warner League or the NFL -- don't think about getting hurt while they're on the field. Most fear being embarrassed far more than they fear getting hurt. Worrying about injuries is a bus ticket back home to Port Arthur or some other dismal place where you'll forever be known as the guy who had a shot at the Big Time but got hurt. Massive, muscled bodies are thrashing around out there like unguided cannon shells, and stepping two inches to your left can make the difference between a touchdown and a career-ending ACL tear. You think about the touchdown ... not the ACL.

Pray for Kevin Everett and all the other young dreamers out there.
