I’m still stunned that the movie Black Panther is getting so many positive reviews. It wasn’t that good of a movie in my opinion. Before I get to why I won’t allow my kids to watch it, I want to point out a couple of things. This is my opinion for my family. By no…
Why we Participate in Lent
Lindsay and I were married in May of 2000. In the spring of 2001, Pastor Joe Fuiten of Cedar Park church offered the congregation something to give up for Lent. It was television. [Gasp] “Television? Was he serious?” I asked Lindsay. Pastor Fuiten went on to explain that for every hour you watch television, spend…
My 2018 Super Bowl Prediction – Eagles win big!
There it is! My prediction and one that is not consistent with the overall thought on this game. The New England Patriots will be playing in their second straight Super Bowl and third in the last four years. I’ll be the first to admit that my dislike for the overall Patriot way may skew how…
NFL Championship Sunday
I love today. Two NFL Championship Games. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to write thorough articles so see pics below. (Sorry to disappoint my five or six following my picks). 🙂 Jacksonville Jaguars at New England Patriots (-9) Hearing the news about Patriots’ QB, Tom Brady’s hand would have changed my mind if it weren’t…
A valuable confirmation from The Nature Boy
The other day I was browsing through channels and came across a 30 for 30 documentary about a popular professional wrestler, The Nature Boy – wooooo – Ric Flair. Growing up in the 80’s I was a fan of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) which is now called the WWE. My parents didn’t know where…
2018 NFL Divisional Playoffs – New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings (-5.5)
Just got home from church and am now gleefully watching the recording of the Jaguars go up 21-0 in the first half of today’s match-up. I picked the Steelers to win by 10 but shoot, with how bad I’ve been these playoffs, why not be wrong on another game? Anyway, I digress, back to the…
2018 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Jacksonville Jaguars vs Pittsburgh Steelers (-7)
I’m rooting for the Jaguars yet picking the Steelers. Like the Titans yesterday, I’d love to see an upset by a lower seed. What I can hope for is the drama that is Steelers’ Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley with Ben Roethlisberger. As you can read here, there may be trouble in paradise. The Jaguars had…
2018 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Tennessee Titans vs New England Patriots (-13.5)
I would love to see the Tennessee Titans pull off another stunning upset. I had them losing last week to the Kansas City Chiefs by 17 points! Heading into halftime I was feeling pretty good. The Chiefs were up 21-3 and it didn’t even look that close. In the second half however, the Titans showed…
2018 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs Philadelphia Eagles
Last week was tough on the prediction front. At the last minute, I changed my prediction of the New Orleans Saints beating the Carolina Panthers to a Panthers’ win. Not going with any last minute gut feelings this weekend. With all my second guessing last week, a game that I was sure of was the…
2018 NFL Playoff Predictions – Panthers (11-5) vs Saints -6.5 (11-5)
The final game of Wildcard Weekend will highlight two teams from the NFC South. The Carolina Panthers, one year removed from the Super Bowl, will be facing the New Orleans Saints, in New Orleans. At first glance I picked the Saints to beat the Panthers, then after doing some research have changed my pick to…
2018 NFL Playoff Predictions – Bills (9-7) vs Jaguars -8.5 (10-6)
Now that the stunner of an upset is over (Titans over Chiefs 22-21) we can get back to predictable football. The Jacksonville Jaguars are the surprise team of the league this year and rank first in rush yards averaging 26 points per game (5th ranked) and 365 yards per game (6th ranked). The Jaguars’ opponent,…
2018 NFL Playoff Predictions – Falcons (10-6) vs Rams -6 (11-5)
The only game I’m interested in watching this weekend is this one. Atlanta heads into Los Angeles as six point underdogs to the LA Rams. I’m sorry but I don’t see it. The Rams are good. They dismantled the Seahawks who were without KJ Wright and a hobbled, recently announced All Pro LB, Bobby Wagner. …
