In his best years as a Shepard, Jesus would cure blindness, wake the dead and, hell, even survive a goddamn crucifixion. But after all those seasons of consistently orchestrating miraculous feats and being the object of relentless scrutiny by media and fans, even the Son of God, much like Alex Rodriguez, has been showing clear signs of declining production.
A case in point is the Messiah's virtually phoned-in appearance at a hospital in Splendora, Texas. Rather than show up in full regalia and spend a few minutes entertaining (or maybe even curing) the sick patients, Christ, instead, chose to appear on a single rose petal (l.) in the room of a freshly deceased patient (He was late as usual). This appearance might not have even been noticed had it not been for the eagle eye of Jennifer Batton, a nurse at the hospital, who spotted the petal among some roses sitting on a bedside table. She and her husband, a cancer patient, believe the petal is a sign of hope and healing. All in all, not bad for a veteran who has played more than 2,000 consecutive seasons but a far cry from JC's MVP days.
