Life is full of unpredictability. We can often live under the illusion that we know what’s coming, that we are in control, but really… life throws you a curveball more often than not. And that includes the NFL. ;) As you may know, if you’ve frequented this blog, the Campbell family enjoy a weekly seasonal…
Entertainment
So Cliché
It’s football season, and this year’s campaign is no different than any other. Each team is going to be taking it one game at a time, giving 110%, and leaving it all on the field, hoping to come away with a victory. When the game begins, when the chips are down, if you’ve put in…
Recommended: Netflix
OK, unless you really don’t pay attention to … well, anything… then you’ve likely heard of Netflix. :) And, since you’re reading this online, it’s likely that you already know that if you are a Netflix subscriber you can stream much of their catalog of movies and TV shows via your computer (unlimited streaming for…
Family Football Fun: Wrapping Up the 2010 Season
Well, it’s official. If you’re a fan of the NFL, you know that when the playoffs start next week, they will include for the first time ever a team with a losing record. That’s right. A losing record. Something about that fascinated me and I found myself watching nearly all of the game that just…
NHL GameCenter – Free!
The NHL is once again offering a one-day only free preview of their NHL GameCenter package. For $19.95/mo or $159 for the whole season you can watch every NHL game, several at once, and they even have classic games and an archive of past games that you can peruse. It’s a pretty great deal if…
Good (Competitive) Family Fun!
For the last two, or maybe three years we Campbells have been having some more interactive fun with the weekly NFL games. Not only do we enjoy watching as much of them as we can on weekends, we also try to predict the outcome of each, and we have quite the “set up” to track…
2010 NFL Season Begins!
The NFL Football season “officially” begins tonight (8/8 @ 8 ET) with the Hall of Fame game in Canton, OH. The Cincinnati Bengals play the Dallas Cowboys, and even though it’s pre-season football, we can’t wait to watch it here in the Campbell household! It will be fun to see a former Bill (T.O.) in…
Shaq Vs. – Season 2
I’ve mentioned this show here before, but we just watched the first episode of season two and loved it again. :) It’s a light-hearted, fun show… Shaq takes on leaders in various sports. Last season it was Ben Roethlisberger in football, Albert Pujols in baseball, Michael Phelps in swimming, among others. This season starts with…
Math Whiz
I have mentioned here many times before that my Dad (probably much like your Dad?) is a great proponent of the email forward. :) Now, honestly, I don’t like email forwards, I don’t trust them, and usually I just delete them. But I’ll at least scan> most of the ones that come in from my…
Diff’rent Strokes: Two Mr. Ts
You have probably heard by now that actor Gary Coleman died yesterday from injuries he sustained to his head from a fall. We had recently been reacquainted with Coleman as one of the ball players in the movie Church Ball (now one of our son Ian’s favorite movies!) but of course Coleman is most known…
