In this episode of Words of Steele, Tom reflects on the arrival of football season and the cultural weight it carries in America. With humor and candor, he unpacks the many clichés that dominate football commentary—from “taking care of the football” to “giving 110%”—and considers how they mirror lessons in everyday life. He also looks at the upcoming season for West Virginia University under returning coach Rich Rodriguez, predicting a tough year despite the excitement surrounding a new “hard edge” culture. Tom closes with a reminder from Scripture that, just like football, life is unpredictable, but standing firm on solid ground gives us the best field position of all.
