Playing by the Rules

The next time life comes around,
I propose a rule change taken from
the NFL. Wouldn’t it be a positive
move, an amelioration, let’s say,

if everyone was allowed a two
minute warning, one at the half
time of life and another as the
clock winds down approaching

the end of the game? Think of it,
my friends, a brief time-out to
strategize a final move to advance
or improve your personal situation.

What a difference this innovation
could make. You as coach could
assess your position on the field
of play, electing to punt, pass or

kick. If in the lead, you may even
choose to take a knee and let the
time elapse. Or, if not, perhaps a
Hail Mary pass would be an option.

You needn’t be a religious type to go
for broke, you know. But having a
star-quarterback mindset along with
a hell of a throwing arm surely helps.

Three...two...one…Oh, what the hell!
All your fans say, at least you tried;
you gave it your best shot. Besides,
this was your last season anyway.
