In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for November 03, 2009

A deleted scene from the movie, MAS*H.

But it is OK after the snap?!?

the player with the pepper spray is an Oakland Raider, just trying to find out if it will work on Coach Cable.

and a great big hello to all A Team people

I will surely miss your posts - they could be thought-provoking or downright side splitting.

This site won’t be the same without your influence. High five to you.

A , guy, double & triple A

and as for today’s bleachers comic,

well, as long as you don’t get caught, everything’s legal…. like gouging the eyes out of your opponent while in a pileup!

yes, that incident reminded me of the ‘mash’ football game —by the by, that was the first time I ever heard the F word in cinema…

“all right mac, your f…..ing head is coming right off!”

starting to ramble like Joe, now aren’t I?

Appropriate to In the Bleachers, the Apostle Paul was very familiar with the ancient games of Greece.

This appreciation was reflected in his letter to the church at Corinth:

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be denied that which is eternal. (1Cor9:24-27)

Selah

I know you understand.
