The Switch up
The snackscape has changed. There was a time that the gameday spread at my house would rival a deep south buffet, complete with all of the dips, wings, meatballs, every variety of chip known to man, and a robust sourdough bowl overflowing with cheese-laden chili. Not this year. We didn't even rock the football shaped snack plates or green-turf garland with little dangling pigskins.

Why I Refuse to Talk About the Chiefs' Loss
If you've read my story Surviving "Killa City", you might know that as a Kansas City native, I am a big Chiefs fan. Which is why this year's Super Bowl definitely was a downer for me. So much so that I checked out right before half time (I didn't even watch the Halftime Show and that's saying something because I love watching the Halftime shows). After spending two quarters yelling at my TV and cussing out the referees for the constant flags against the Chiefs, I knew in order to keep my blood pressure at a normal level, it was best to remove myself from the carnage.

Documentary Review: 'ESPN 30 for 30: Al Davis vs the NFL' . Top Story - February 2021.
ESPN 30 for 30 has become a haven for documentary filmmakers eager to find unique ways to tell familiar stories. The documentary format can tend to be a very homogenous artform, always very similar and familiar in structure and presentation. Thus a series such as 30 for 30 can feel a little rote after a while. To change that, documentary filmmakers need to get creative and find little ways to set themselves apart from the rest.

However, for me one significant aspect of the game will change – I am no longer a huge advocate of the underdog. Yes, you read it correctly. I will no longer support the underdog like I used to. I have my reasons and I will get to them later on.

The Memories We Share
One of my favorite memories (or series of memories) here in Arizona might surprise some people. When I think of memories, I joyfully remember the Arizona Cardinals football games that Brian took the girls & me to. We were excited to ask the girls' mother if they could join us, and then Brian bought four season tickets. He enjoys football & I love being able to share in the activities that make him happy. However, sports have not ever been my “thing”, especially football!
