Hey my friends I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and I love sports and one of the reasons that I think I love sports so much is that it's

scheduled actual real life drama I go and watch the Mandalorian on TV which I love

but the drama is artificial.

Like I know it's going to work out, even if we end on a cliffhanger with this episode or that

episode, like in the end, there's going to be fan service and we're going to feel good because I know the genre and I know how it works

whereas if I go into a football game rooting for the Colorado buffaloes, the Denver Broncos,

or the Denver Nuggets, or the Colorado Avalanche, I don't even bother trying to root for the Colorado Rockies anymore.

I don't know what I'm gonna get. They could surprise me. They could dazzle me. A great player could make more great plays and

that unscheduled no guaranteed outcome

drama is really fun but it also lends itself to this fascinating human social phenomenon, the what have you done for me lately

phenomenon, where it doesn't matter how good somebody has been in the past, you're still like,

hey, you gotta show me something.

Peyton Manning late in his career, he's a legendary quarterback playing football for the Denver Broncos

already, but he has a pretty rough last season.

I mean, I suppose everybody wishes their rough final season could

end in a Super Bowl victory but people were hitting him left and right every week

with the old what have you done for me lately thing and Peyton Manning who had like I held almost every record for

quarterbacks at that point in history still had to go and face the media and

the fans and the talking heads on the radio every week and explain you know why he's

trying his hardest and things didn't go exactly the way you want and you could tell

he wanted to remind them like you guys remember all that stuff that I did before that was like I don't know awesome the stuff that

caused you to even imagine that you could have these expectations for me like I'm still that guy
