Cardinals visit my Saints in the Superdome.
Two great men, Kurt and Drew, leading their respected teams to the NFC Championship.
Both men awarded what I believe to be the highest honor in the NFL.
The Walter Payton Man of the Year Award
Playing in the Superdome, which was the "shelter of last resort" for about 30,000 people during the ordeal called Hurricane Katrina.
In a city still recovering, restoring and rebuilding from what
appeared to be total devastation.
In a city still suffering heartbreak, lost love ones disappeared in the storm and remains yet to be found or identified.
In a city left breathless, by video and reports of what
is total devastation to the south, Haiti.
In a city struggling with poverty, sometimes referred to as a third world country within our United States.
In a city that has so little to give and one dollar from a wallet may make the difference in eating or going to bed with hunger.
In a city that is leading the way in finding that extra nickel to contribute to those in Haiti.
In a city blessed to have an unscheduled NFL game played because they need tourism dollars.
The earthquake in Haiti invited the ghosts of Katrina back into memories.
The NFC playoff game in New Orleans is stirring up memories of how the people survived and came together September 25, 2006 when the Dome came back to life.
Today, 70,000 people, will fill the Superdome and today over 100,000 lives have been reported lost in Haiti.
It is safe to say that among these fans in the Dome today, a few sought shelter from the Storm in the Louisiana Superdome, one of the 30,000, that have an idea of what the people in Haiti are experiencing.
It is safe to say that a few in the stands have lost friends and loved ones in the aftermath of Katrina.
It is safe to say that emotion in the Superdome once lifted a tired population and brought HOPE home to the Gulfcoast.
It is safe to say that all thoughts in the Superdome will be on what was overcome to get to this point in Dome history and prayers for the people of Haiti.
Two great men will meet in New Orleans for a chance to make it to the NFC Championship Game.
These two great men, both leaders and humanitarians, have traded their jerseys in for coveralls and hoisted hammers instead of pigskins.
Both men, Kurt, after the floods in Iowa and Drew, after Hurricane Katrina, have made a difference in the lives of others.
These men will meet again, I am sure of it because of their character. These two are men of action and purpose.
They will meet in Haiti to rebuild.
Football is a game they get paid to play.
Football allows them to make a true difference in their world.
Walter Payton made a difference.
Cardinals or Saints...either team can win.
Regardless, we all win.
Because we are blessed with men like Kurt Warner and Drew Brees.
How do you make a difference in your world?
Oh well, by next weekend I will be ready again.
