So, I just heard some big holiday/religious/football news. It doesn't get any more All-American trifecta than that! So, here is the news: Today marks a rare occurrence with the beginning of Hanukkah falling on Christmas Eve for just the fourth time in 100 years. The football tie in is, of course with the Cleveland Browns. Does Jesus really hate the Browns? Does his Father hate them even more? Or will this confluence of Jewish and Christian celebration, bathed in the light of God's real chosen religion, capitalism, mean the Browns are blessed with a Christmas/Hanukkah/Football miracle and win a game today?! Faithful holiday, religion, and football observers can't wait to see if this NFL team wandering in the winless desert will be blessed with a victory. Or have their fans, with their dogged faces and hard hearts, spurned Yahweh in some unforgivable way meaning God has no choice but to spurn them and leave them the NFL's only winless team for another week? Tune in at 1:00 to find out!
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
