After many years, former Denver Bronco Coach Mike Shanahan died and entered
the Pearly Gates. God takes him on tour. He shows Mr. Shanahan a little
two-room cottage with a faded Denver Broncos banner hanging from the front
porch. “This is your house, coach. Most people don’t get their own houses
up here,” God says.
Coach Shanahan looked at his little house, then turned around and saw one
sitting on top of the hill. It’s a huge three-story mansion with white
marble columns and little patios under all the windows. Green and gold
Green Bay Packer flags line one side of the sidewalk, while red and white
Badger banners line the other. A huge picture of Vince Lombardi on a banner
hangs between the marble columns.
Mike is incredulous. “Thanks for the house, God. But let me ask you a
question. I get this little two-room cottage with a faded banner and Bart
Starr gets a huge mansion with Packers banners and flags flying all over the
place. Why is that?”
God looks at Shanahan seriously for a moment. “That’s not Bart’s house,”
God says. “That’s my house.”
