Twin brothers of different mothers


As I watched Sundays game, or should I say annihilation of  the Dallas Cowboys by the Vikings, I saw in Bret the same thing I see in LA. Both of these men have never been able to turn loose of their game. When I say their game I mean as long as these two guys can dominate over another team: as long as these two guys command the respect of the "troops"; as long as they can strategically move the team to win battles and as long as these two guys can out power the competition then it's 'their game'.
Farve took a team with basically the same guys as last year, who played ok, and with his passion and leadership moved them within striking distance of the Superbowl. All the guys in Minnesota had talent, they needed someone who had been there before, someone who's age was not a detriment but who had become wisdom under pressure, someone who can get the job done with a gun pointed at his head! No one could have done it with as much stamina and authority as Bret...NO ONE! Well maybe Joe Montana.
Now look at LA. I just say if the shoe fits...But seriously. These two men share the same drive, same age there about and gut filled determination more than any other sportsman out there and both are die hard good guys to boot.
That's what makes them heroes in our culture and even Icons to those around the world who want to believe that with focus, drive, patience and guts you can do it no matter your age or your background. It's just our nature to want to be winners and to associate with winners and at any cost to our selves work  hard as long as the goal is worth it.
Bottom line is these two guys need to know each other and we need to hope that more Americans can dig down at any age a to prevail. Keep the dream alive guys.
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets , because your buying.
