Former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landrys admiration for Washington Redskin Coach Joe Gibbs is unabashed. No small part of the reason is that they both are equally serious Christians.

Darrell Green’s most important race began one evening in 1988. He was driving home from one of those personal appearances that professional athletes make – the kind that gets them good publicity but adds little to the lives of those they visit. Green had gone to a downtown Washington apartment complex, but as he made his way home, he started thinking about what he had just done.

The Rev. John Fitzgerald still remembers the energy that Washington Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs brought to the Sunday School class on his first time there more than 10 years ago.
