Youth Sports Coaching – Challenging, but so rewarding…

Like many of you, once the calendar turns to August, my schedule really starts to heat up right alongside the temperature.  Do I have more deadlines at work?  No…  More outside networking engagements that eat up my free time… Nada…  Once August hits, I am about one thing every waking (and sometimes non-waking) hour that [...]

Did I just see that Brett Favre has retired???

The story broke last night that Brett Favre will not come back for another season with the Vikings. I write this as I try to fight through a GIANT YAWN!
His on again, off again, flirtation with the NFL has grown so tiresome over the last couple of years and has hidden the fact that he [...]

First Post from Arizona

Wow!  I have been TOTALLY busy out here.  This is the first time I have sat down to post….
I have been volunteering with the Gridiron Greats foundation for the events leading up to Super Bowl 42.

I think I have done it all:  load boxes, taken inventory, driven people around, thrown away trash, setup signage, print out [...]

One more day…

Yes, I know I am a broken record…
 But it is one more day closer…

Who should win the Heisman?

Well if you don’t already know, tonight is the announcement of this year’s Heisman trophy.  If you don’t know this, you are either not a football fan, or you have been under a rock somewhere.
This year’s finalist are a decent batch, but probably not the most impressive ever:
Tim Tebow – QB – Florida

College football season wrapped up…

I have to admit, every year at this time, I am a tad bit melancholy.  The last of the regular season and conference championship games have been played.  This leaves us with some low tier type game next weekend (Army/Navy, etc.).  It seems that every year, the college football season goes by quicker and quicker.  [...]

My game coverage blog…

        
Ok, so here is my game coverage blog for the Packers vs. Cowboys…
It looks like the Packers will get the ball first. 
Nice interview with Roger Staubach.
Nice opening kickoff with a return to the 30.
First play, nice slant pass by Favre.
Second pass was almost picked on the sideline.
I like these Cowboy uniforms.  Especially the helmets.
Favre [...]

T-Minus 9 hours to game time

The HUGE NFC matchup between the Packers and the Cowboys is just hours away.
I have to say that I am looking forward to this game more than any other professional matchup this year.  This includes Indy/New England and New England/Dallas. 
I think these teams matchup well to each other which should lead to a very competitive [...]

Cowboys vs. Packers – One more day

The game of the year might just be one day away for the NFL.
 The Packers of Green Bay against the Cowboys of Dallas.  Two storied programs whose histories are as rich as the hatred between the two squads.  The last time they played in Dallas with it meaning as much was in 1995 in the [...]

Sad day in the NFL

Today was a sad day for the NFL.
 Sean Taylor passed away this morning from complications to wounds that occured from a home invasion gunshot at his home in Miami.  He was in the middle of recovering from a knee injury.  What a sad, sad, situation.
This came in the middle of a pretty exciting NFL season, [...]
