Philosophy and Football

Never one to let a long (in blogtime) absence deter me from a frivolous post, I thought this paragraph from Easterbrook's TMQB noteworthy, particularly after spending an hour or so studying Latin:

There is no sure way to switch from levity to seriousness, but the loss of Reggie White at age 43, coupled with the loss of untold tens of thousands in the Indonesia earthquake, should remind us of the Roman saying memento mori -- bear in mind, you too shall die. It may happen tomorrow, it may happen in 50 years from now, but it will happen.

Remember, also, verbum satis sapienti est—a word to the wise suffices.
