Kennedy: Do football and church really mix?

Last Sunday, in the minutes before church started, I listened for football talk.

“Did you hear about the Mocs?” whispered someone two rows back.

“Did Auburn win last night?” asked a man sitting in front of me.

“I’m just ready for the season to be over,” said a Vols fan across the aisle.

This is how Southern men relax before they are compelled to be quiet for an hour.
