We Need Each Other

I had the pleasure of hearing Joe Theismann, the great football player, speak in Los Angeles this past weekend.
During his inspiring talk, Quarterback Joe Theismann recounted that fateful game in December, 1985, when he broke his leg. He told about how arrogant he had become as a young professional football player who had just signed a five million dollar contract. When he walked onto the field at the start of that game, he prided himself on the fact that he didn't need anyone.
What touched me deeply during his talk was when he shared how he felt when just a short time later while he was being carried off the field, never to play football again, 55,000 fans stood up and cheered for the young man who had thought that he didn't need anyone.
