Stop The Madness! — 2020 Edition

Maryland coach Mark Turgeon reacts with dismay during the second half of the team’s NCAA college basketball game against Rutgers, Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in Piscataway, N.J

“So he changed his behavior before them; he pretended to be mad when in their presence. He scratched marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.”

1 Samuel 21:13

It just doesn’t make any sense.…

How Do You Spell Redemption? “Andy Reid!”

How Do You Spell Redemption? “Andy Reid!”

Andy Reid hoists high the Lamar Hunt Trophy after his Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tennessee Titans 35 -24 in the 2020 AFC Championship Game.

The Bible says to “rejoice with them that rejoice.”  Some people are easier to root for than others. And Andy Reid would be in the category of “some people” vs. the “others.”  Andy has taken a licken and yet he keeps on ticken. I love it. Sounds a lot…

A Bad Day To Have A Bad Day

A Bad Day To Have A Bad Day

Lamar Jackson picked a bad day to a have a bad day. The presumptive MVP who lead the League in multiple categories and lead his Baltimore Ravens to a 14 – 2 record and the No. 1 seed in AFC laid a proverbial egg on Saturday night, AT HOME.  Jackson had three turnovers and was generally off and specifically  late and low and behind and beneath his normal level of play.

The Ravens fell to the the…

Anybody Hate the Dallas Cowboys? Vol. 2

Anybody hate, and I do mean HATE, the Dallas Cowboys! 

Today’s game is essentially for the Division, the NFC East, and the season is on the line for both teams.  Both teams are a mediocre 7 -7, both teams have marginal quarterbacks, and both teams have an equal change at victory. So what will determine the outcome? Preparation. 

There’s an old saying that goes something like this: “Prior…
