It must have been him. The Rector at my church rarely mentions sports.
If I recall correctly, it was a fine sunny day down there in Florida, the day that most remarkable and illuminating rant was posted.
The minister was from New Jersey or something, visiting down south, and took the service for the regular minister.
It was an Episcopalian or Lutheran service; whoever of you two had posted it, was a native southerner, but the wife was from the northeast, and the poster had converted to what is generally a "northern" denomination because of her.
