S3E50 - Fields to da Bears; Bengals give Burrow a weapon; Spiels gets an OT; Browns take CB; Focus on Truth Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

Friday, April 30, We Tackle Life podcast:

Bears move up to take Justin Fields

The QB room around Fields is ideal

Getting taken 11th by a team slotted at No. 20 is a benefit

Lions get a tackle everyone loves

What are the Cowboys doing?

Bengals take Jamar Chase

WRs were available via a trade down

It's silly to think Chase and Joe Burrow being college teammates mattered much

Chase doesn't lack confidence. Is that good?

Browns grab Northwestern corner Greg Newsome.

Newsome also thinks he's fantastic

Urban Meyer takes Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne

Focusing on the truth of God's characteristics provides encouragement

S3E47 - NCAAFB OT changes; OHSAA playoffs expand; Fields' epilepsy; LeBron's Tweets ignore his powerful story Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

Friday, April 23, We Tackle Life podcast:

NCAA changes college football overtime rules

You might not like the specifics, but the reason is sensible

Likewise, OHSAA expands high school football playoffs

High school coaches hate it and contend it's money-driven

They are right, but that's not necessarily wrong

Justin Fields makes a medical disclosure that may impact his draft stock

Someone is going to miss out on a great player

Terry Johnson leaves OSU's basketball staff for Purdue

It's an unusual move, but one that makes sense given Johnson's roots and future hopes

The sad part of Johnson's departure is the negative recruiting it may birth

Musa Jallow is Charlotte-bound

LeBron takes to Twitter to voice his displeasure, which only inflames a situation he could instead have great impact with his own personal story of triumph and the good it would do for others if they emulate it.
