Football is based on desperation. All clubs are desperate in one form or another - desperate to succeed, desperate to survive, desperate to stay where they are, desperate that things get no worse, desperate to arrest the slide.
That if desperate times call for desperate measures, then I'm free to act as desperately as I wish.
As a player, if a club is desperate to sign you, then you can benefit from that. Desperate clubs are prepared to pay more money; they are prepared to act decisively and play you.
The main thing I feel is a sense of relief. That I can give up this game. That the question of whether I can succeed in this venture has been answered, even if that answer is a resounding no. That if desperate times call for desperate measures, I am free to act as desperately as I want.

It was outside the bounds of the law.
When people pray to ask for things they want, isn't it basically an act of mistrust in their god. For if god already has a plan in mind for you, why are you praying to change the plan in the first place?

When there's fear people act out in desperate ways.
The SPF Act is just one of many common sense bills I plan on dropping. This act finally ends the yearly forwards/backwards time-change cycle.
