Super Sister Mary John

We've all heard of flyin' nuns, but ever heard of a bowlin' nun? This morning on GMA, the winner of the Greatest Football Fan in America Challenge was announced. And the winner is Sister Mary John. Sister is the chaplain at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis and a dedicated Colts fan. This old nun LOVES football. Her friends at the hospital submitted her entry video on her behalf because she's such a kind and loving person. When Mike Barr showed up to surprise her, he couldn't hardly get a word in becasue Sister had to hug and thank everyone there. Finally, he got to tell her that her prizes were a limo to the airport, a plane trip, dinner with Peyton Manning, a hotel, 2 tickets to Super Bowl XL, and backstage passes to an ESPN show. And who says nuns don't know how to have fun? While your watching Pitt play Seatle, look for Sisters Mary John and Catherine in the 11th row, what great seats. If you missed the story, I strongly suggest going to their page and watch her segment as well as her entry video. Sister predicts the Steelers will win by the width of a safety (27-25), don't call your bookie just yet. Sister ended with some great words of advice for fans (especially Ville fans, they are so unpredictable, but it's great when they are ontop like last year, this year not so hot), she says she doesn't pray to win a game she just asks to be able to accept the outcome whatever it is.

Paix du Christ!
