a Greater Glory

So as I was sitting here watching football today and watching my fantasy team (win of course) and it reminded me of a great article that Bill Simmons wrote. This article was what really piqued my interest in Bill Simmons and made me appreciate his writing. Hopefully you will find it as enjoyable as I did. I also find it funny that he wrote this article as the Patriots were 6-0. That means they were on their way to the Super Bowl where they would lose to the NY Giants. So going undefeated in the season was almost at their grasp. Anyways, enjoy reading the article. Here is the link.

Oh and by the way I hope you enjoy the picture that is with this post because it is a picture of the Nicaraguan children who received the New England Patriot Champion t-shirts.  In other words the shirts the Patriots would have worn if they had actually won.

Ok I have to admit it I am a sucker for a god TV movie. There is something different about watching a movie on TV versus popping in a DVD. TNT which according to their tagline “Knows Drama” may be my favorite movie channel. The only problem with this is that they show the same movies over and over again. A couple of my boys and I were talking last night and we decided that the movies which are always on TNT are: “The Replacements”, “Independence Day”, and “Con Air”. I can only watch “The Replacements” so many time, so I was happy to see when TNT put a new movie into their rotation. The movie is “Fracture” and while I didn’t get to see the whole movie the first twenty minutes or so looked really interesting. So hopefully TNT keeps up their reputation for playing the same movie over and over again because I would like to see this movie. So what is your favorite movie that is played on TV?
