The Get Back Coach

This video is a humorous look at a phenomena in American sports.  In American style football most teams have a coach who is assigned to act was the “get back coach” during games.

Sometimes, during the heat of a game, one of the team’s coaches or players will become so emotional that he will run out onto the field of play. This can result in a penalty being assessed on the coaches team. In the professional version of American football, the action may even result in monetary fines assessed against the team. Sometimes, players and coaches in unauthorized areas on the field can even be injured by accidentally colliding with 300 pound men running while wearing protective armor and hard helmets.

To prevent penalties and/or injuries, one of the other coaches is assigned the in-game duty of being the “get back coach.”  He continually reminds the other coaches and players to “get back” when they get too close to illegally entering the field of play by crossing over the sideline “out-of-bounds” strip of paint.  He will often resort to grabbing the momentarily insane coach and “escorting” him back off the field of play. 

 Sometimes, we as Christians can go off on tangents and have to be grabbed and restrained by a loyal friend until we return to our senses.

“Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.” Galatians 6:1.

The Jesus Christ Show

     The Jesus Christ Show  is a syndicated radio program produced weekly in Los Angeles.  The host of the show is Jesus Christ, portrayed by the show's producer, Neil Saavedra.  Jesus answers questions from call-in listeners in a soothing voice, seemingly with the authority and confidence which Jesus would project.  All the advice is biblically based on Jesus' teachings and parables.
     In the wrong hands this could become sacrilegious and even blasphemous (Jesus as Dear Abby) but it seems to be a real attempt to stay within the confines of biblical Christianity.
