Before we talk about the future, I wanted to talk about our past and the players that made this franchise one of the most respected franchises in the NHL. I will go line by line on who I think would best represent the All-Team roster for the St. Louis Blues. I will go from the bottom lines first and work my way to the top lines. Forwards will be presented as forwards; no center or wing positions will be determined.
Read MoreA little bit ago I was up in Kansas City hanging out with Spencer and James (friends of the pod). I was staying at James’ house and his daughter was requesting music that we could all dance to. We ended up getting to Candy by Mandy Moore with the music video playing and I had to stop dancing to watch this masterpiece. This is by no means an original idea but after watching the music video I immediately thought about starting a blog series. Welcome to the first Music Video Breakdown featuring Candy by Mandy Moore.
Read MoreMuch like Thomas my number dipped quite a bit from Q1 for a few different reasons. Ellen and I used to be on different work schedules so when I got off work I could watch a few episodes of a TV show that I was watching. Our schedules are back in sync so we are watching more things together now then ever. I also committed to a few longer running shows in Q1 that are carrying over to Q2. Things also started to open up a little more from the pandemic so we were able to get out and do more. I finished 2 TV shows and have 4 in progress, I watched 12 movies, played one video game, and read 4 books.
Read MoreWell this quarter looked vastly different than the last. I thought I would be able to get through even more content because I was home for much of the quarter on parental leave. But, you would think I would know that having two toddlers and an infant at home would be anything but a time to consume content. I only take into account anything that is new to me, so for instance I am not counting the 21 days straight my toddler made me watch Ratatouille since I have seen that before. In total, I watched 6 full tv shows (and a couple seasons or episodes of 4 others), 1 comedy special, 7 movies, and played 6 video games.
Read MoreEarlier this year Thomas released a blog of everything he watched during the Covid-19 lockdown. This idea got us thinking that we should do this every quarter. Below you will find my Q1 Media Check-In (Movies, TV, Video Games, and Books), we released Thomas’ earlier last week. What did you watch during Q1?
Read MoreWhen Kyle asked me if I wanted to continue to track what I was watching, I was excited. I also thought it might be much more balanced. Then, I watched 35 movies in January and realized that movies was going to be my focus area for this quarter. I did watch some tv shows and I did play some video games but my primary consumption was movies. I tried to be more well rounded, adding in some horror, some artistic films, and widening the range of release date. In total, I watched 75 movies, 1 documentary, 5 tv shows, and played 3 video games.
Read MoreJust like the blog looking at the best 3 Point Celebrations we are going to look at a few basketball bench celebrations. You will normally see these celebrations after a big dunk, late 3 pointer, or even a nasty ankle breaker. We are going to use a similar grading system to that previous 3 Point Celebration blog.
Read MoreThe Super Bowl is arguably the biggest event in the United States and it’s a great time to win some money gambling. There are hundreds of ways to bet on the actual game but the real fun is in the prop bets you are able to bet on. Lucky for you we are here to provide you with a guide and some of our favorite bets. Welcome to the annual Going Off Topic Super Bowl Betting Guide. (these numbers were found on Draft Kings and Bovada)
Read MoreThomas is back! He recorded everything he watched from the start of Quarantine to the end of the year and wanted to share with the network. This sparked an for me to record everything I watch and release a quarterly blog with my thoughts. Check this out and come back for our quarterly thoughts!
Read More2020 has not turned out the way any of us could have imagined but that does not mean there aren’t things to be thankful for. Of course I am thankful for all of my family, friends, health etc. but this is the Going Off Topic blog and with that in mind we are going to throw a twist in the idea. Let’s look at some of the media and pop culture I am thankful for.
Read MoreA few weeks back we had “My Broncos Offensive Dream Team:1988-2020” from Thomas. Here is part two where he looks at the defensive side of the ball!
Read MoreA few weeks back I wrote an article titled, “My Cardinals Dream Team: 1995-2020.” I reached out to a few friends of the Anything But Credible Network to see if they would be interested in writing a similar article for their favorite sports franchises. A Network favorite, Thomas, wrote an article on his favorite NFL franchise, The Denver Broncos. This is going to be split into two articles so make sure to check back for the defense!
Read More“Back in my day we used to walk to school uphill both ways in 6 feet of snow.” Everyone has heard this story from a parent or grandparent as a kid. I am starting a new segment called “Old Man on the Corner: Shit I Don’t Understand.” In this segment I will look at random things (mainly in pop culture or entertainment) that I don’t understand why they are popular. Let’s have some fun!
Read MoreThe Expendables movies are some of my favorites. Every movie in this franchise is full of a bunch of old school action heroes doing what they do best, kicking ass and making ridiculous one-liners. In all honesty, I wish they would make more of these. Maybe like one a year or something until the end of time. If they take my idea I think we need a total recast of one of these movies with an all women cast. That would be bad ass! Well, lucky for Hollywood I have done all the work and all they have to do is get the actresses together. I have even carried over the incredible, and absurd, character names from the original franchise. Dear Hollywood, don’t let us down!!
Read MoreIf you don’t know by now I am a huge Nic Cage fan. Not as a joke and not because it’s “cool” but because I genuinely enjoy his acting. The guy is truly fascinating and has made some of the most interesting movies you will ever see. I am thinking about making this a running blog topic, whether it is on Nic Cage or just some of my favorite movies in general. These 18 reasons are in no particular order as they are all equally important to the cinematic masterpiece that is Con Air. Let’s dive in.
Read MoreCoronavirus has derailed everyone’s life and sports have suffered through the pandemic as well. The MLB announced a 60 game season that is planning to start on July 23rd. This got me thinking about all of the great Cardinals players and teams I have gotten to see during my lifetime (1991-present). What if we took all those teams put the players into a pool and got to draft to create the “best Cardinals team from my lifetime?”
Read MoreThe NFL has some of the most athletic human beings on the planet. When they score a touchdown these players love to show off and do crazy dances, flips, and all kinds of moves. What if we dissected the gymnastics celebrations and put them through the gymnastics judging system? Check it out now!

Read MoreI found a picture online with the headline, “Who Would You Bring Back for 1 Final Movie?” followed by pictures of great actors who unfortunately are no longer with us. I found this picture extremely interesting and wanted to put the Going Off Topic spin on it. I came up with the idea of having a “draft” with four friends, each of them writing a blog on it, and then having each of them on the podcast for a more in-depth discussion. The following is my blog the fifth and final part in the series. Make sure to check out the other blogs and podcasts on this topic!
