The Sports Sermon

Yeah, Belichick made the right decision in starting Brady. In the biggest sports’ upset of our lifetime, the 14-point underdog New England Patriots defeated the obelisk of offensive efficiency that was the St. Louis Rams. Even more remarkable than the upset was that the game was fantastic.

Battle of the Sexes

There are two genders in our world: the male and the female. By and large, the male enjoys viewing sports more than the female, for the simple reason that if he can’t talk about sports effectively at a young age, he will be cast aside by the masses.
