I haven’t watched two of them yet because they are reserved for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day viewing, but below are my top five personal favorite Christmas movies.

1. A Christmas Story
2. Klaus
3. The Muppet Christmas Carol
4. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
5. Die Hard

My take on the four dominant first round victories of the 12 team college football playoff isn’t that any team did or did not deserve to be in the playoff. It’s that the seeding system needs to be adjusted.

Everyone talking about how shitty the message of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is missing the true gem of the film and the reason that I watch it. The man, the myth, the legend…Yukon Cornelius!

My top two choices would be the following:

Mike Vraebel. OSU alumni, former OSU assistant coach, successful NFL head coach.

Matt Campbell. Ohio born and raised. Coached at two Ohio MAC schools. If he can win 10 games at Iowa State imagine what he can do with OSU talent.

Both my cat and my dog right now are like “we sense distress and we want to comfort, but the vibes are rancid and we don’t want to get too close”

Fire Ryan Day

How did Ryan Day convince Chip Kelly that OSU should try to prove their toughness by focusing their offense on the only area that is their disadvantage?

I will be seeing Wicked tonight and Gladiator II on Friday. My preparation for these two movies could not be different.

With recent current events my favorite comfort movie, Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith, just doesn’t feel as good. Any suggestions for a new comfort movie to try? I particularly enjoy fantasy, westerns, and monster movies.

I absolutely LOVE the attitude of Ryan Day and this Ohio State football team this season. If Ohio State wins the national championship this season I will get a tattoo that says “Leave No Doubt”

Cinematography and score are my two favorite elements of movies that keep bringing me back for more. I watched Skyfall again last night and found myself saying “oh I love this shot” in nearly every scene. Just a stunningly beautiful film from start to finish.

Last week my wife and I took an impromptu trip to Washington DC. It is impossible not to feel humbled and hopeful in that city, especially when visiting Lincoln at night.
