I know you have all been waiting with baited breath (maybe Mark can explain that phrase in one of his “Use Your Allusion” posts) for this one. Here is my pick:
The winner’s name will start with “New”…not good enough? Okay.
New England Patriots - 31
New York Giants - 21
* I am not responsible for any poor [...]

Former Harding football player Tank Daniels will be playing in the Superbowl this year! I don’t really know Tank that well but I have met him and know several people who speak very highly of him. Congratulations Tank and remember if you do well it will be great and if something goes wrong…don’t sweat it [...]

The Noreaster that has wreaked havoc across the middle U.S. blew into New York Jets territory and killed my fantasy football season. Who would have thought Tom Brady would go for 140 yards passing, an interception, and zero touchdowns. It also didn’t help that my team, “The Pancreas Crushers” went against the only team in [...]

Our church team played a local bar last night in the city softball league. I think those guys are finally softening up to us a little bit. They normally try to start fights and be obnoxious but last night they were very classy. My second at bat last night I really got ahold of the [...]

On top of my fantasy football loss this week breaking a 4 game winning streak our church softball team broke our 15 game winning streak last night. Even worse the game ended early due to a 12 run lead in the 5th inning. While we still have a one game lead this certainly doesn’t make [...]

I must say that I am bit surprised. I logged in to see how my fantasy football team was doing and saw that Adrian Peterson, running back for the Minnesota Vikings, singlehandedly dismantled my team by rushing for 296 and 3 touchdowns! That translates into 56 fantasy football points making it nearly impossible for my [...]

Barry Bonds hits home run 756 and the man who caught the ball, Matt Murphy, finds value. On the Today Show this morning Matt Lauer made the comment that this would change his life. Why is it that as a culture we find value in everyone else’s accomplishments? I think it was Tony Robbins (yes [...]

The Gators are national champs again! I wouldn’t mention it but I did attend the University of Florida at one point and have in-laws who live in Gainesville. It has been a great year for UF athletics. I mentioned on Occular Fusion yesterday that I ran into Billy Donovan once on campus. Literally. I was [...]
