And so it came to pass that EmbattledEaglesCoach Andy Reid, whose sons have recently fallen victim to wickedness and whose football team has recently fallen victim to being terrible at catching punts, has turned to the LDS Church for help in this time of need.
The Birds announced Tuesday that they had signed former Eagle Reno Mahe to handle the kick and punt return duties in the wake of Sunday’s game-changing muffs at Green Bay. They cut J.R. Reed to make space for Mahe, which is kind of a bummer since (1) I always had a soft spot for Reed and (2) there are now only 3 safeties on the roster. Greg Lewis survives. Comma. For now.
Mahe is pretty unremarkable as a return guy, but at least he catches the ball. And if there’s one thing that we know Andy Reid likes to turn to in times of need, it’s Mormons who can catch the ball (see also Curtis, Kevin and Lewis, Chad).
The Inquirer made sure to mention that Mahe was at church during the Birds game and didn’t see the muffs live. And when we say “church” we mean “Mormon church.” Turns out that Reno’s been spreading all sorts of Mormon goodness since being released by the Birds:
“I was able to go back to Utah and position myself to do some really good things,” Mahe said. “As far as life after football, I felt as if I was doing just fine. I was in the process of putting together a group home for troubled youths, and I was talking with a station about doing a talk radio show in Utah County. That was only half of it. Now, everything is halted.”
Personally, I can’t get enough of the wink-wink attention that the local media gives to the Mormon issue in coverage of the Birds. They can’t come right out and say anything, but they are careful to mention it as an aside, and the guys on the radio can be outright obnoxious about it. I gots no beef with it, though it does seem like an awful lot of Mormon players end up Philly (if anyone has a link or some stats on this, do pass it along). Whatever. So long as said Mormons score touchdowns, we good.
(For the record, it took all of my earthly powers to not use the Reno 911 headline, but pretty much every other blogger stole my thunder on that one. I’m on the road this week and a little behind; sigh.)

Man’s mind and spirit grow with the space in which they are allowed to operate. The committee judged the promises and offers of this mission to be impossible, vain, and worthy of rejection: that (it) was not proper to favor an affair that rested on such weak foundations and which appeared uncertain and impossible…
Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.
I saw tonight in the observatory, through Alvan Clark’s telescope, the Dumb-Bell nebula in the Fox and Geese Constellation… I have rarely been so much gratified… Of all tools, an observatory is the most sublime… What is so good in a college as an observatory? The sublime attaches to the door and to the first stair as you ascend; - that this is the road to the stars. Every fixture and instrument in the building, every nail and pin, has a direct reference to the Milky Way, the fixed stars, and the nebulae, and we leave … the Americas and history at the door when we come in.
