“Timmy D” DeMoss of The Word FM, conducted an interview with Phillies star reliever Brad Lidge after the World Series that you can listen to online:

Lidge, who saved 48 games in 48 opportunities this year, talked about his faith and how it affects his game. As some of you may recall, Lidge wasn’t as successful in his previous postseason outings with the Houston Astros a few years back. It seemed to send his career on a downward spiral, which makes his performance this year all the more remarkable.

I think it’s appropriate that a guy who made it through the season and postseason without blowing a save would give glory to the one whom the Bible says “is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 7:25).

When I first moved to the Pittsburgh area and heard Myron for the first time, my initial thought was, “You’ve got to be kidding me…they let THAT voice on the air?”

But, ‘hum-hah’, it wasn’t long before I was turning down the sound on TV, and with the rest of the great Steeler Nation, listening to Myron Cope on the radio. A game wasn’t complete without Myron’s trademark “Yoi and double Yoi!”

From the Steelers web site:

Myron Cope, a hall of fame broadcaster who spent more than three decades as the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has died after battling various health issues in recent months. He was 79.

Mr. Cope served as a color analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 35 years (1970-2004) and became the first pro football broadcaster to be elected to the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2005. Only two days prior to the announcement of his election to the National Radio Hall, Mr. Cope was presented the Pete Rozelle Radio and Television Award at the 2005 Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies in Canton, Ohio.

“Myron contributed so much to the Steelers and our fans over the years, that he cemented a place in broadcasting history that is reserved for only the best in the business,” said Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney.

I guess I’ll root for the Giants, although it greatly pains me to root for a team with New York in their name, but I really don’t like the Patriots and I despise their arrogant coach.

By now, I’m sure most people have seen clips of Tom Brady’s 60 Minutes interview where he stated that, despite all his football accomplishments, he feels like there is something “missing”.

Here is sincerely praying that Mr. Brady will encounter the Speaker of these words:

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.”

And finally, Mr Brady would be able to say that he HAS found what he is looking for….
