I am a college professor of Biblical Studies. I enjoy thinking and writing about issues of faith and the interaction between a person's faith and the rest of life.
The Indians couldn't close the deal, though they were up 3-1 in the series. As any Cleveland fan, I have learned how to insulate my heart and not hope for anything, because Cleveland teams, at least since the '50's, always disappoint. Good News: PITTSBURGH LOST ON THE LAST PLAY OF THEIR GAME AGAINST THE DENVER BRONCOS! I was watching both games simultaneously, and I was comforted by seeing Pittsburg walking off the field in stunned silence. That is always, always, a sweet feeling.
Yesterday the Cleveland Browns beat the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that must have been every offense's dream: 51-45. The two teams combined for 96 points and 1,085 yards of offense! To be honest, I don't care what happened, as long as we got the win. I wish it had been against Pittsburgh, though. The victory would have been much sweeter.
