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 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 MoreEveryone loves complaining about rules in sports and how new changes can improve the game. What if we looked at sports and implemented some fun rule changes that would be ridiculous but still add some excitement?
