The Joy of Football

 With both High School and College Football well underway and the NFL not far away off in the distance. It is a very exciting time for Football.

Football is one of my favorite sports to watch and has been for many years. Mostly because it is one of the few sports that me and my family get to sit down and watch together.

Another reason is that in my humble opinion is an excellent way to blow off some steam and help take the edge off on a lot of anger and frustration.

I have a done of respect for a lot of people who went out there a competed on any level of competition whether be from PeeWee, High School, College, Pro whatever. Football is a very physical and grueling sport and yet, it is so much fun!

There is a ton of different football going on inside my house with my family having differences on which teams to watch. Heck! It don't matter to me, I just look at it as more chances to watch football.

Whether, it be the Cowboys, Rams, Steelers, Eagles, etc. Or Penn State, Notre Dame, TCU, Alabama. It is never a time to watch football at our household. 😁 To be honest, I even watch Canadian Football and I loved watching the USFL and XFL. 

When it comes to football, I am more of a defensive guy myself. I prefer a solid defense. If I were a coach, I usually would base my defense on a 4-3. I remember guys like Bruce Smith, Charles Haley, John Lynch, etc. Currently I am a big fan of Micah Parsons.

Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of players I enjoyed to watch on the offensive side of the ball as well. In fact, most of them were running backs. As a kid I witness guys like Thurman Thomas, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, etc.

In college, I always loved watching guys like Paul Posluszny, Sean Lee, Lavar Arrington, Navorro Bowman, Saquon Barkley, Michael Mayer. Some had a career in the Pros and some are still currently playing.

Where I am from we even have a semi-pro football team that plays after the high school football season is finished.

To me, although the most football I got to play was in the backyard or in gym class. I really love how football can bring people together. It showed me and many of my friends how important it is for us all to come together to achieve a common goal.

My love for Football also includes video games as well with such titles like Backyard Football, NFL Street series, College Football, the 2K games from the Sega Dreamcast. Of Course Madden is always a fan favorite. Another one I recommend is Techmo Super Bowl from back in the day.

Can not wait to see where everything lines up this new season of Football. Who is going to be the National Champions in NCAA, High School Football State champs and of course, the Super Bowl.

God Bless you guys! And Best of luck to all the different football teams out there!

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
