Pride Swallowing World

Pride Swallowing World

Catchy title, huh! This title is so catchy, it is used in the movie, Jerry Maguire. Now, that movie is one of my favorites. Not only because it is about football. But, it is about a man’s travel from the bottom of the pile to the top. This movie is about an extremely impulsive, naturally talented, African-American man who was playing in a non-professional league. It is obvious to me and probably any other athlete that this man was trying to take the next step in his professional career.

There is a scene in this film in which this athlete leaps up in the air and happens to come down hard on his head. The trainer checks on him while the coaches and fans wait in silence.

All of a sudden, the man leaps to his feet, he does a little dance, and receives a standing ovation from the crowd. I have my opinion of the movie however your opinion is very important to me. I am not trying to be pompous, however remember you are dealing with a two time All American. High school and collegiate and championships can be placed in my resume.
