You may have seen this one making the rounds lately: former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman (and Super Bowl champion) Alan Veingrad became Ba’al Teshuvah and is living the life of a seriously observant Jew. (Love the sportscaster’s patter at the end: “he studies, he prays, the whole nine yards…”)

Actually, given the abundant opportunity for silly shtick, I think it’s a lovely, respectful piece.
