  • S3E47 - NCAAFB OT changes; OHSAA playoffs expand; Fields' epilepsy; LeBron's Tweets ignore his powerful story
    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.

  • S3E45 - OSU's QB derby; Clemson/Bama looking, too; Joey Brunk joins OSU hoops; Aim your blame correctly
    Monday, April 19, We Tackle Life podcast:

    OSU Spring Game sheds no official clarity on quarterback battle

    It's probably Stroud, then McCord and then Miller

    Jack Sawyer looked good

    Were the wide receivers great or was the secondary lousy?

    Clemson and Alabama are also looking breaking in new QBs

    Ohio State apparently completes its basketball roster makeover

    Joey Brunk doesn't wow anyone, but might fit seamlessly

    Proverbs 19 offers sound instruction for where to place blame

  • S3E44 - NCAA OKs transfer adultery; Justin Fields so-called 'drop,' New $uitor$ for Efton Reid; Pride ruins everything
    Friday, April 16, We Tackle Life podcast:

    The NCAA OKs a one-time transfer of all college athletes without a waiting period for eligibiliity

    This is the right thing to eliminate favoritism

    This is also a move fraught with considerable peril

    Coaches will hate it, but that's not the reason it's dangerous

    It could, in combination with NIL, change how fans view college athletics

    The rumors are rampant that Justin Fields is dropping in the NFL draft

    Don't forget, this is the Silly Season

    Does a player actually drop before they are drafted?

    Alternative explanations may not be sexy, but they may explain Fields going fifth among QBs

    Ohio State five-star center target Efton Reid delays his decision

    LSU and FSU are now involved. That'$ not good new$

    The greatest failure of the English language is its lack of another word for pride

    That failure causes us to view pride much differently than God does, and that can have severe eternal consequences.

  • S3E43 - Ryan Day's guaranteed QB takeaway; Efton Reid's decision; Farewell Foligno; The saddest thing in life
    Wednesday, April 14, We Tackle Life podcast:

    OSU's spring game is a QB competition

    Three candidates, one decision....no clarity

    What Ryan Day will say and why he will say it

    Anything else worth watching?

    Efton Reid about to decide on Pitt, UVA or OSU

    What Reid will gain from each school, and what he'd be missing in each locale

    Blue Jackets trade Nick Foligno and David Savard

    Two more jerseys go into the organization's graveyard

    John Tortorella's time has come. And gone.

    Two lives end tragically, and the fix is not in law, but in the heart of man

  • S3E42 - Matsuyama wins Masters; Washington may leave OSU; Eddie enters coaching; Competing voices abound
    Monday, April 12, We Tackle Life podcast:

    Hideki Matsuyama hangs on to win the Masters

    If you're surprised at the fawning coverage of Tiger, you don't understand The Masters

    Duane Washington enters his name in NBA Draft

    This is different than E.J. Liddell's entry

    Washington will always have the chance he's taking now, but he won't always have the reward he's forfeiting now

    Reports have Eddie George becoming a head college football coach

    Eddie's story is one players could benefit from hearing and repeating

    Wisdom and folly announce themselves to everyone

    Discerning between the two requires one thing available to all, that many sadly reject

    Major League Baseball moves its All-Star Game

    What athletes have the right to do and say may not be best for their sports

    Culture is pulling you one way, and that way is likely away from God's plan and purpose

    Monday, April 5, We Tackle Life podast:

    What a game...Gonzaga vs. UCLA

    Johnny Juzang is Glen Rice good

    Jalen Suggs hits an all-timer

    Skip Bayless is wrong

    Drew Timme is old-school special

    Mick Cronin says it perfectly

    Baylor was Baylor at its best, and that's too much for Houston

    Does Gonzaga have gas left in the tank

    Is Gonzaga a team of destiny

    Justin Fields in the crosshairs

    This is a common Draft strategy

    Dan Orlovsky got used...twice

    Kevin Durant apologizes....or did he?

    Is this the Cancel Culture tipping point?

    Easter is personal....for everyone, even if you don't know it

    Franz Wagner comes up empty

    Big Ten is out of NCAA Tournament
