Roger Staubach

 I just finished watching an NFL Films documentary that was talking about one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL and his name is Roger Staubach.

Now obviously, I wasn't alive when Roger the dodger played in the NFL and seeing some of the videos on Youtube of his playing days. Man, it sure makes me wish I was alive during that time period because Staubach was incredible!

The film I watched talked about his early days when he burst onto the national scene during the Army-Navy game in front of President John F. Kennedy. He also won the Heisman Trophy during his time at Navy.

Once done with his military service he joined the Dallas Cowboys and helped them win two Super Bowls while appearing in five.

With all of that being said, it was really cool to watch some of the videos of his playing days. He was truly a sight to see on the field. With some of the runs he did when he needed to scramble and some of the greatest passes in NFL like the Hail Mary to Drew Pearson.

That was on the field, off the field, Staubach's story gets even better. It talks about his upbringing, his faith and how he had impacted so many different lives and never looked to get any attention from it. Roger just does it simply because he believes that is the right thing to do. And honestly, isn't that what God wants us all to do?

Roger to me comes off as a guy just simply trying to work hard and do his best and it really is inspiring and sadly, it feels like guys like him are becoming fewer and fewer nowadays. 

Staubach is a true class act and it really is amazing to see him still do what does and I really would like to see more of the younger generation look him up and learn from him and the example that he set.

Until next time! God Bless and Be Safe!

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
