Super Bowl XLVIII
Right after the game the critics came out. I’m not a big fan of the critics, because they are often wrong. Sure, they appear to be right in the moment, but time often tells a different story. Before I give you some of my observations on the game, let’s go back to the NFL Draft […]

Once again let’s gain some insight from the NFL Playoffs. Let me start by saying that everyone knows that Peyton Manning continually attempts to get the defensive line to jump with his unique style of calling signals. In the San Diego/Denver game I’m sure that was talked about among the coaches and players. Easy enough. […]

In many ways January is the height of the losing season. College football games, the NFL Playoffs, and personal reminders about 2013. After all, that’s where New Year’s Resolutions came from. Failures or losses from the previous year are acknowledged and drive us into a new year. Losses. Sometimes that’s where our focus is. Losses […]

Carol and I recently were out of town for a meeting so we decided to grab a bite to eat. Following dinner Carol suggested we look for some dessert. Not wanting to disappoint, I pulled up a bakery on the Yelp app. Three-tenths of a mile away. Perfect. I got the brownie and she got […]

The NBA Finals has been everything a fan could ask for. We are now getting set for Game 7. However, what intrigued me is how many fans left Game 6 early. Thousands left early and the end was one for the ages. Some said it ranks in the top two of all NBA playoff games. […]

Typically when I am out doing yard work I’ll listen to a podcast or two. Recently I was listening to Colin Cowherd on ESPN talking about great talent and great teammates. Over the years from playing sports to construction to church I have been able to work alongside people who had talent. One of the […]

This is actually not a one word or one action answer, but this one is right up at the top. Let me illustrate from football, especially since the Super Bowl is on everyone’s mind. In a recent post I referred to the 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. He has gone from backup to a sensational starter. […]

As the San Francisco 49ers head for the Super Bowl, one story caught my attention. It was about the quarterback and his tattoo artist. It’s a great story, but at the same time illustrates why pride should simply not exist. The story begins in the Philippines with a broken home. Through a series of events […]
Continue readingWhy Do We Wait Until the Last Minute?
Can anyone actually say they have never waited until the last minute? No, I didn’t think so. The NFL has had a labor dispute with the refs since before the season began. And yes, there were some horrible calls by the replacement refs. However, the NFL maintained that the integrity of the game was […]

A new era has begun at Penn State. Coach Bill O’Brien has somewhat of a formidable task. Due to the unfortunate incidents over the last several months several of Penn States top players left for other colleges to continue their football careers. When Coach O’Brien arrived the situation was already bad. However, after his arrival […]
