TheFatherLife.com: NFL Power Rankings: Week 13


What the heck, guys? How could you do this to me? We were all so close to being able to enjoy the saddest sporting event in the history of the world, but the selfish New York Jets had to take that possible delight away from us. If they hadn’t been so tacky in their defeat of the Titans, we would all be chatting it up, around our respective water coolers, about Tennessee and Detroit. It should have been the most magically terrible game in history, the 12-0 Titans against the 0-12 Lions. Party pooper Brett Favre had to swoop in and ruin it for all of us. That was totally uncouth, man. Thanks to your lack of any sense of propriety, this Turkey Day match up is just another blah game...


Genesee Valley Parent Magazine: Outdoor Winter Fun


The Rochester area has a lot to offer your family, not just in the summer, but in the winter months as well. Every cold weather activity that you and your family can think up is just a short drive or day trip away – from sledding and snow-tubing, skiing and snowboarding, hiking, snowshoeing and ice skating to a winter visit to the zoo. Rochester has it all covered, especially when it's cold and snowy outside...

TheFatherLife.com: Osburn On Tap: Turkey Day


As the crumpled red and yellow leaves crunch beneath our feet, the days grow shorter exponentially, and the calendar continues to tumble toward 2009, we are once again on the eve of the holiday season. It seems like 80 degree days filled with blinding sun were just mere weeks ago, but they’ve really been gone (besides a few random unseasonably warm November days) for months. It’s late November and we are left wondering how autumn and its cold temperatures (at least in the northeast) came and took over so quickly...


TheFatherLife.com: NFL Power Rankings: Week 12


I know the Titans still haven’t lost, but how awesome would it be if the Super Bowl was New York versus New York. In the Jets case, it would be like a Hollywood movie ending. The wily, old veteran comes out of “retirement” to lead a scruffy team to the Super Bowl. In the preseason, the Giants obviously didn’t get as much love as they deserved, even though they were the defending champs, but they were expected to make the playoffs. Nobody picked the Jets to do very much this year. Other than Brett Favre and Kris Jenkins, the team didn’t look all that much different from the squad that only won four games in ’07...

TheFatherLife.com: NFL Power Rankings: Week 11


There are two key questions that have been plaguing me this week. When will the Tennessee Titans lose, and when will the Detroit Lions win? The Titans held on to the top spot in my rankings and remained undefeated with a 21-14 victory over the Chicago Bears. They play at Jacksonville this weekend in a game they will definitely be favored to win, and then they have to face the suddenly deadly New York Jets on November 23rd. Detroit travels to Carolina to take on the Panthers this weekend and then will tangle with Tampa Bay at home on November 23rd...


TheFatherLife.com: NFL Power Rankings: Week 10


Rob Bironas kicked a forty-one yard field goal in overtime to defeat the Green Bay Packers and keep the Tennessee Titans undefeated at the mid-point of the season. The Titans are one of the strangest stories of the ’08 season...
