John 8:31-36
How many people have heard the name Vinko Bogataj? Anybody ever heard the name Vinko Bogataj? Most of us haven't. Really, well, nobody raised their hands, so I guess nobody has.

And the poster boy for the agony of defeat was Vinko Bogataj. I mean, could you have any worse defeat than that guy? And that guy is thinking, You know I'm just out here in West Germany in a name that's hard to pronounce, and nobody's going to remember my fall. And now, everybody that watched ABC's Wide World of Sports for decades, they didn't know his name, but they knew, ''Hey, I've got to watch!'' The openin ...
