"And do you now begin to see why Christianity has always said that the devil is a fallen angel? That is not a mere story for the children. It is a real recognition of the fact that evil is a parasite, not an original thing. The powers which enable evil to carry on are powers given it by goodness."

- C.S. Lewis
The College Football Player With the Senior Citizen Discount

A fifty-nine year old man is returning to Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas to play football one more time.


Michael Flynt, who last played college ball in 1970, is currently attending training camp at Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas, along with about 100 other players -- most of whom are younger than Flint's own three children, the Nashville Tennessean reported Tuesday.

Flynt, who was dismissed as starting linebacker for the school's team in 1970 after a series of altercations, will find out later this week if he made this year's team's final cut.


I heard some guys on sports talk radio discussing this today. They invited callers who had similarly ageless exploits. One such caller was in his fifties and still works out heavily. He recited a list of his current weight lifting benchmarks, including leg pressing 400 lbs., bench pressing 300 lbs., and more.

That led to this exchange among the two radio guys:

Guy 1: Wow. I'm feeling emasculated just listening to this.

Guy 2: I'm not. It's making me feel like a little girl.

Guy 1: Um, that's pretty much what "emasculated" means.

(awkward silence)

Did they go to a commercial with the song "We don't need no education"?
