I’ve been getting ready for Thanksgiving for months. Thirteen weeks to be exact. Countless hours of watching sports, three to four days a week concentrating just on football, excessive drinking and overeating, and even nightly arguments at the dinner table, all preparing for the big day. Our setting will resemble the Mike Tyson vs Jake […]

If you’re a Carolina Panthers fan, Sunday must have been rough. Losing 28-14 to the Denver Broncos doesn’t seem that bad on the surface, but when you allow Bo Nix to throw for 3 TDs and rush for another, it’s not a good look. The Panthers’ (1-7) best quarterback, Andy Dalton, is a 38-year-old backup […]

He believes that a good portrait requires that the camera doesn’t mess with the subject, but that the subject messes with the camera. Once someone loses sight of the […]

To call the weekend football games disappointing would be an understatement. To call them disheartening wouldn’t quite be enough. To call them a disaster – now we are getting close. The Colorado Buffaloes and Deion’s boys faced off against tenth-ranked Oregon in Eugene. The Buffs showed up with their usual swagger – dancing on the […]

The National Football League kicked off on Thursday, and as usual, it failed to disappoint. In Kansas City, Travis Kelce was dropped from the lineup, Kadarius Toney dropped everything in sight, and the Detroit Lions dropped the defending Super Bowl Champions.
