Ive been compiling thoughts for a long time on a very oddly specific subject, and I think Ill put them all together here.
Here it goes; the movie #Moneyball is a phenomenal analogy for the American Church and its leadership issues particularly in finding vocational pastors.
I got $2 a day for lunch in HS because my mom figured out thats about what it cost for school lunches. So I would eat Taco Bell M-W on that $2, usually just a couple bean burritos and a water.
Then I would skip TH and buy a grilled stuft burrito and a pop on Friday with my $4.

I love the back and forth teeter of what makes good theology depending on what issue is being discussed.
Apparently a solid theology of the Trinity now lands on the more liberal side of evangelicalism.
Wild.
I'm amazed at the # of Christians who believe, since God took on the human form of a biological male, we can conclude that God the Father is eternally male.
Also amazed at the anger generated by pointing out this is not historic Christian teaching.

Now imagine we converted on the previous drive and scored a TD. It be a chance to tie.
We shoot ourselves in the foot so much. Its almost a tradition.

3rd drive we went 3 and out. Bijan didnt touch the ball once that drive.
That is unacceptable from a play-calling perspective.

DLed with straight, stats only updates until this.
Never miss an opportunity to take a dump on your team DLed!

My step-father once told me he started working at age 12. He is around 70 years old and I cannot remember a single time where he hasnt worked atleast 6 days week.
I dont recommend it, but at 36, I dont feel too worn out just yet.

I am actually starting to believe that sports has ruined our ability to find joy and happiness within our given circumstances.
Genuinely.

Always hard to judge these things. She a graphic today that Ok State had 95 new players(how many do they even have on a roster now days?) And kstate in the 60s.
The teams are literally completely different. Welcome to the NIL age my friend.
KState and OKState both replaced coaches last year.
Last year was not ideal, but KState went 6-6 in ‘25.
OKState was 1-11 in ‘25.
This is not a good season and I understand injuries but this year has been about as bad of a start to the coaching career you can imagine.

It genuinely just he nice to know what we are doing. This dance of playing .500ish ball for a decade is just tiresome.
This would be fine with me. Would also be okay to win and still trade a few of these pieces.
We lose Sunday, then go ahead and trade Deablo, AJ, Bates, and whoever else you can get draft capital for. Go ahead and start us a rebuild Mr. Ian.

I met my wife online back in 2016. I remember trying navigate pictures taken at weird angles in odd lighting, just trying to get an understanding of what someone looked like.
I can't imagine trying to figure out what someone actually looks like with AI retouching now.

I remember when America was over in 2008 when Obama was elected. Then again when Biden was elected in 2020.
I hate to say it, but America is over. The communists and jihadists are going to open our borders and replace our votes with votes from illegals aliens. We now have reps who openly speak about their hatred of America, their love of communism and their support for sharia law.
We won’t be able to undo the damage they cause on our country come 2028.
America 250 was a funeral.
The American Dream is dead.

I think, if anything, Atlanta will pull that 9-8 out of their butt. Not sure how, but it just seems like we are destined for that and then a quick bow out in the playoffs.
The Falcons can absolutely go 4-0 through their next 4 games.
I realistically think they however go 2-2 and are 5-7 into the final 5 game stretch where they go 4-1 and finish 9-8 with a shot for the division title.

I definitely don't go in for the hyper-machoism of football that many ascribe to, but there are realities that some times you just have to get to it.
Felt very much like guys just wanted to be done with the game. I get it. Wet, muddy, getting beat. Still gotta do it.
Games like Sunday are about "want to". Who wants it more, who can handle it? Aside from individual effort from dudes like Jesse Bates, I didn't see much if any from the @AtlantaFalcons.
