Two Humble Men....

Troy Polamalu is to the NFL as Fedor Emelianenko is to MMA...they are both men of faith, highly successful at what they do, and the most humble athletes on the planet. I find it so inspirational to watch them do their collective sports. I love it because when they do their things, it is so oppositie to who they really are otherwise. On the field, Troy is a killer! He has no mercy when he's going after a receiver or a running back (or QB for that matter). He's not worrying about hurting his prey, he just wants them DOWN....LOL. Likewise, Fedor has hands of steel, he will knock you the hell out without blinking OR thinking twice. And he has done that fir 8 straight wins, knocked his opponent out. That's exactly what he did this past weekend to Brett Rogers!! And Troy made some crazy tackles and had an interception on Monday against the Denver Broncos. LOL, everything about Troy belies his true nature, right down to his wild Samsonite hair. But both of these guys are very spiritual and gentle guys. They always give God the credit fpr their success and would rather stay out of the media spotlight. I like that.....So, I hope they both continue to be paradigms that they are in their sport. We need more guys like them in athletics, and guys like them need to get more press than the bonehead athletes out ther!! ;)
