The Best Movie is..........

To be honest, there are so many movies in this world that I like; it is going to be very difficult for me to find my three favorite movies. Every day my three favorite movies probably changes because I suppose it depends on what kind of mood I am in. For today, the third best movie is the Dark Knight. Many people probably don’t know that I am a huge fan of Batman. I have watched every batman movie many times, even the ones that were made in the 1960’s. Yes, I did just say the 1960’s. Anyways, the Dark Knight is a great movie because it has so much action and the Joker is insanely creepy. There is another Batman that is coming out next summer that I can’t wait to go see. It even has the Pittsburgh Steelers in a few scenes because the movie was filmed in Pittsburgh. Big Ben will probably make the movie bad though; well I hope not. I have always said that if coaching and teaching careers don’t work out for me, then I want to be the next Batman. That may be very difficult, but I won’t worry about that right now. The second best movie is Rudy. I am not sure that there is a more inspirational and uplifting move than Rudy. Every time I watch this movie I get teary eyed because it deals with somebody working as hard as they possibly can and it pays off for them. Also, it deals with the sport that I love the most. Finally, the best movie is Dumb and Dumber. I really do believe that I know every single line to this movie. I can watch it a million times and I will laugh just as hard every time. The humor in this movie is so funny, I can never stop laughing. There are so many stupid acts in this movie that make me laugh. I often compare my friends to this movie; that probably isn’t a good thing. Today, Dumb and Dumber gets the best movie for me.

My Wishes

I will have to say that there are more than just three wishes I have in life, but I suppose for now I could pick out three that I wish would come true. One of my biggest wishes is obvious and it is to win a state championship in football. Now really that is probably a goal more than it is a wish, but for now I will call it a wish. I really wish we would have won it all this year, but there is nothing I can do about it now besides use the pain as motivation in the weight room. This will make me a better football player in the future and hopefully next year it will help our team get the job done. My second wish is a very big one. For those of you that don’t know, I just got my license so now I guess I could fit myself into Mr. Currin’s quote, “I’m kind of a big deal.” I am just kidding; I don’t think that getting a license is as big as that quote, but oh well. I will say that being able to drive by myself now is pretty sweet. The only problem with me having my license is that currently there are three vehicles that my family owns and there are four people that drive. That means that I am the one that gets left out because I am the “Young One” as my father would say. My wish is that I would get a vehicle sometime soon. The vehicle I have always wanted is a Chevy Colorado. Hopefully my wish comes true sometime soon. My final wish is that the Bills make the playoffs. In the beginning of the year, this looked like a sure bet, but now it doesn’t look so good. But, if Stevie Johnson can get his head on straight and the Bills get a little luck this is possible. It would be awesome if all of these wishes eventually come true. Without question, the most important wish to me is winning a state title; enough said.

Brian's Bashing

Way to go Stevie! As many people would know the Buffalo Bills got off to a great start this season. It looked like the Bills were going to make the playoffs for the first time in ten years. Everybody thought this was the year they finally broke out. Then there was suddenly a breakout of injuries. Kyle Williams, Fred Jackson, Shawn Merriman, Eric Wood, and Terrance McGee all suffered season ending injuries. This obviously ended up hurting the Bills and they went on a horrible losing streak that started four weeks ago. Although the Bills have been struggling, their playoff hopes were not gone yet. This past week they traveled to New York City to take on the J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS. Both teams entered the game with an equal record of 5 wins and 5 losses. Basically the winner of this game would be in great shape to make the playoffs and the loser would be just about eliminated from a playoff opportunity. I give credit to the Bills for coming out and playing a great game. It was evident that they gave it their all and played together as a team for the most part. The key phrase in that last sentence is “for the most part.” I am against picking out one player to blame in a game, but for this occasion, I don’t feel bad at all. During the second quarter of this game, Stevie Johnson caught a touchdown pass to give the Bills the lead. After that, Stevie decided it would be hilarious to mock out New York Jets receiver, Plaxico Burress, by pretending to shoot himself in the leg. For those of you who do not know, Burress went to a New York City night club two years ago and managed to shoot himself in the leg accidently. After Johnson mocked Plaxico, he then mocked the other Jets receiver, Santonio Holmes, by doing Santonio’s touchdown dance. For his actions Johnson was given a penalty that made the Bills kickoff 15 yards behind where they normally do. This forced Chan Gailey to call a squib quick. The squib quick only went 10 yards by mistake which gave the Jets the ball at the Bills 40 yard line with 2 minutes left in the half. The Jets went on to score to tie the game. At the end of the game, the Bills were down by four points and marching right down the field trying to win the game. With very little time left, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a perfect pass right down the middle to Stevie Johnson, but Stevie wasn’t celebrating after this play. Take a guess why. He was wide open and he dropped what would have been a game winning touchdown. It makes me wonder why he dropped this pass. It must have been because he was thinking of his next touchdown dance, but he didn’t get that opportunity. To me this is a perfect example of the Buddha belief of Karma. I think it’s safe to say, Johnson won’t be doing any touchdown dances for a long time, because I’m sure he won’t want to hurt his team again. Actually with his selfish acts, he probably isn’t a team player. So he might do another stupid dance next time he scores because he doesn’t care about his team. I cannot express how stupid of an action this was by Johnson. He put himself in front of the team and cost the Bills a trip to the playoffs. I hope he feels the pain from this loss because this is one of the most stupid things you could possibly do. Stevie should take the time that he thinks about touchdown dances and use it for time to practice catching the football because he isn’t very good at it. If you are a young kid reading this, learn from the stupid, idiotic moves that this person made. One thing is for certain, I know for a fact, Stevie won’t be doing any dances in the playoffs this year. Way to go Stevie! Enjoy your winter where your team will not be in the playoffs completely because of you!

 

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is right there next to Christmas for being my favorite holiday. I would have to say that it does not get better than football, family, and food. My Thanksgiving consist of quite a bit. Every Thanksgiving morning I go out hunting with my father and my brother at our cabin. I call it hunting, but nobody in my family ever seems to get a deer. That probably doesn’t come as a surprise to many. This does bring up an off topic very quickly though. When being in a conversation about hunting, most people will say “Did you shoot a deer?” Well I always find it funny when our defensive coordinator always asks “Did you catch a deer?” I wonder how a person can physically catch a deer, but crazy things can happen I guess. Now I will get back on the real topic. After my family is out hunting for the morning, we usually come back home and then the fun for the day really begins. There are always three football games on Thanksgiving Day and I look forward to them. The first game always takes place in Detroit, Michigan. Some would consider this a dumpster of America, but I liked it when I went there to be honest. I think most people look at this way just because their football team has had some rough times. But I got some news for those people; the lions are back baby! Actually, wait, the Lions were never good, but still this year is different. For once the Detroit football game on Thanksgiving is a very meaningful one. Detroit will be taking on Green Bay in a huge NFC North matchup. Then the second game will consist of Dallas and Miami and nobody will care about that one. That will be a great time to eat dinner though which I can’t wait for. I love Thanksgiving for many reasons and it is definitely one of the best holidays.
