"Things Honorable" skit

This was our skit for today. The preacher was speaking on thinking on whatever is honorable.

Setting: Two teenage guys sitting down to lunch with brown bags.

Anthony: Hey, Brock, did you see the Eagle fly last night?

Brock: You talking about Cole Davis?

Anthony: Yeah, man! They call him the Eagle because his talons never miss a catch and he soars across the field like he's got wings!

Brock: Yeah, I know. I saw the game. He played well.

Anthony: He played well? Man, it was all Davis, all the time. He caught three TD passes, and even managed to throw one on that surprise option! He was awesome!

Brock: He had a great game.

Anthony: Man, I'm gonna be just like him! I'm gonna be...the Hawk!

Brock: You can do better than that.

Anthony: You're right—not the Hawk, the Vulture!

Brock: No, I mean you can find someone better to try to be like.

Anthony: You're crazy! He's got the best record of any receiver for the last ten seasons!

Brock: That may be true on the field, but what about the rest of his life?

Anthony: What are you talking about?

Brock: Dude, his personal life is a mess. He left his wife when she was eight months pregnant so he could date some dancer—I think that lasted about a year, and then he was on to another girl. He's had two DUIs. He got drunk and threw a tv out a hotel window last month! He's just not an honorable man. He may win games, but he doesn't win my respect.

Anthony: [considering]So who do you like?

Brock: Well, I like a few players a lot, but my favorite is Curtis Holden. He's a solid lineman, but what I really like about him is his Christian witness. He and his wife have been married for fourteen years, they have three kids, and Curtis takes them all to church every week. He stays away from drugs and alcohol. He does volunteer work in schools and children's hospitals. He's a great guy on and off the field. That's someone who deserves honor and respect, someone I want to be like.

Anthony: [finished with his lunch, getting up] Cool. I see what you mean. I'll have to watch Curtis play this weekend. I might even take down my Eagle poster. Thanks for the info! [exits]
