PITT FOOTBALL AND THE POPE
April 17th, 2008 | by Reed |I’m taking the day off of work to celebrate the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Washington, D.C. - not because I’m going to RFK Stadium to hear his Mass, but because I, along with thousands of other Federal workers, know just how crappy the commute is going to be today.
Last week a co-worker of mine was telling me he had some extra tickets to see the Pope on his visit here - apparently only selected Catholic Churches got ticket blocks and he, being of some import in his Church, had an extra. I told him I might be interested and he asked why I wanted to attend (like it was some kind of a test to be worthy). I told him I wanted to ask the Pope how he thought the PITT Football team would do this season.
He thought I was joking, and said “No, really, why?” I said that if His Holiness is serious about using his position in helping those most in need, he didn’t have to look much past the PITT Offensive Line.
I didn’t get the ticket.

Lol that is hilarious.
My bishop when I lived in Pittsburgh used to say that he would pray this way: Lord, I know you don’t care who wins this game. So if its all the same to you, can you just let Pittsburgh win?
