Randall Cunningham still works on Sundays, but not in a stadium

Iggles fans remember Randall Cunningham as their scrambling quarterback from the 1980s and '90s, but these days, Cunningham is playing for a different team.

The ordained minister now leads the Remnant Ministries, an interdenominational church in Henderson, Nevada.

Terrific piece in the Las Vegas-Journal Review by Mark Anderson, who profiled Cunningham for the newspaper. Anderson writes that Cunningham initially thought working on Sundays was over.

"Because I thought right after football, you ride off into the sunset and go golfing every day," Cunningham said. "But that was an empty life."

Cunningham, who was ordained in 1994, now preaches to hundreds of followers at the church, counseling troubled teenagers, middle-class families burdened by economic problems, and others who need assistance at the Protestant interdenominational church. Cunningham said playing football helped his transformation.

"If I'd never played football, I don't think I'd be the leader I am today," he said. "If I hadn't gone through the hardships I've gone through and been rebuked and hated by the Giants fans and the Cowboy fans and the Raider fans, I would not have been nourished in the area of maturity."
