Guest: Danny Abramowicz, co-host of the show "Crossing the Goal"
Featured Saint of the Day: St. Denis and Companions
Buffalo Road Roundup: Miranda Taiber: Dowling Catholic High School Correspondent

Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Danny Abramowicz, one of four hosts of the new show "Crossing the Goal," found on EWTN and on-line. Danny shared with us his journey of faith through football. He told us that when he was first drafted to the New Orleans Saints he was one of the last to be drafted after they had already told him to go home. He phrased it as being through determination and God's grace that he got into professional football. He played football for many years and then became a coach. After a while the fame and glory of his position got to his head and he eventually hit a wall at which point he found strength in God.

In this new show, "Crossing the Goal," Danny along with: Peter Herbeck, Brian Patrick, and Curtis Martin gear the show toward men. Through making this a fast-paced show much like that of football announcers, they aim to hold men's interest and talk to them on their level about issues that are important to face in our day and age. They strive to vere past the world's view of what makes a man and into the value of spiritual virtue, being the head of the household, and leading your family to Christ.

The show airs on EWTN on: Sunday at 6:30 PM Eastern, Monday 6:30 AM Eastern, Friday 9 PM Eastern, and it is also streamed on line at their website:
