UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Do you like being inspired? Do you like movies that are true stories that feature people overcoming overwhelming odds to achieve their dreams? Did you like Rudy or The Blind Side? Do you like football?

If you answered YES to ANY of these questions, then you MUST SEE Unfinished Business.

It's the story of a guy who played high school football, but he dropped out because he got cut due to poor grades. He spent the next ten years drifting in an alcoholic fog. Eventually, he got straight and found love and success-but something was missing. He wanted to play college football. At age 38.

This story left me with a lump in my throat. It is one of the best sports movies/documentaries I have ever seen and it's only available online. Check out Unfinished Business, you won't be sorry!

Here's what some other folks say:



“This week’s edition of CBC Sports Journal has the memorable story of Greg Horvath, a 38 year old Saskatchewan real estate salesman and recovering alcoholic who decides to pursue his seemingly impossible dream of going to college and playing college football. It’s an inspiring and touching look at never giving up on your dreams!”

Chris Zelkovich
-The Toronto Star



“Unfinished Business delves into and explores the application of life, self-actualization and confronting life head-on. It’s a playbook about life, Horvath’s life – where he tackles his problems and faces his fears. Unstoppable, Horvath exerts his determination – while executing his plan by blocking, out running and tackling his opponents, his own demons and past mistakes – play by play, as he finds his own way to the end zone of life!
Great film…special man!”

Suzy Harrison
-Coast Line News, California



“Unfinished Business…is a sweeping parable of Everyman redemption.”

Dave Wielenga
-OC Weekly, California



“He fulfilled a dream in academics and athletics!”

-CBC Television



“This week the remarkable story of one man’s yearning to fulfill a 20 year old dream before it’s too late.”

-Sports Journal



“What began as a 38 year old recovering alcoholic and high school drop out’s life-long dream to go to college and to play college football, has become one of the most inspiring, real life stories of forgiveness, perseverance, and following your heart!”

- The New York International Independent Film Festival



“It’s not just a story about football and overcoming addiction. It speaks to the human spirit in all of us. What an inspirational story...what an inspirational man!"

-Laguna Beach Film Festival, California

"GET THIS MOVIE!"

-The Hotdogman

TIME FOR FOOTBALL

My wife is beside herself. At this time of year, there is NFL Football on Monday Night, Thursday Night, Saturday Night, Sunday at 1PM, Sunday at 4PM and Sunday Night. When football is on, I get to watch on the "good" TV-she sometimes watches with me but often retreats to the boudoir to watch a movie.

"How many friggin nights can they have football on?!?" she is often heard saying at this time of year.

She's caught up in the Patriots run this year, but she can't understand my fascination with the other games. I try to remind her that I often have more than a sporting interest in the games and that my success is key to a happy household. She just says "Show me the money when you win, otherwise LET ME WATCH MY SHOW."

My wife will be glad when the Superbowl is over, but then it's only 2 months until baseball season!

Clicker Etiquette

We have four TVs in our house. One in the kitchen, one in the playroom for the kids, one in our bedroom and one in the living room. The living room TV is the "good" TV. My wife and I are in a constant struggle for control of the almighty CLICKER.

If we're going to settle down to a night of TV, there are certain unwritten rules we follow. I'm not much of a TV fan. I like a good movie. I watch baseball, football and the news. The only shows I watch are Two and a Half Men and Survivor (I PROMISE I'll never blog about Survivor).

My wife is a clicking fool. She will flip around until she finds the most inane reality show she can find. She watches Survivor. She watches anything to do with reality programming and remodelling while commenting "Oh, that looks like a good project." I cringe when these shows are on. She watches Dog the Bounty Hunter, Flavor of Love, Super Nanny, Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, The Apprentice and the list goes on (and on). If its a reality show, she'll find it.

Now during baseball and football season, there is a struggle for CLICKER CONTROL. I, naturally, want to watch the games on the "good" TV. Here is where the unwritten rules come in. For Red Sox- Yankee games there is no discussion. The ball game is on. If its a game against Kansas City, she'll make some noise, but if I can invent some drama ("hey, Manny's going for Home Run number 500"), I can get the CLICKER without much fuss.

She's getting savvy though. She checks to see who's pitching and for the opponent's record and if it's a "dog" game, she'll protest. Depending on my mood, I may relent if it really is a dog game.

Sunday Football takes precedence, she even watches sometimes (although my brother just got a humongous Plasma-I'll be going over there a lot on Sundays this year). For the Sunday Night and Monday Night Football games, I'll relinquish the clicker if the game is one sided or has no "sporting" significance. Needless to say, the Patriots games are always on.

I got her good once. Last year NFL Network began the NFL Replay on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They replay two games from the previous weekend each night. I was watching a game on a Tuesday night and she asked what the heck football was doing on TV on a Tuesday night. I told her they were experimenting with new nights. Rolling her eyes and letting out an exasperated sigh, she trotted upstairs to watch some reality drivel. It took her three weeks to figure out the Tuesday and Wednesday games were replays and boy was she pissed when she found out! She actually hid the clicker on me!

Most of the time we reach a happy equilibrium with the clicker, but it's a never ending struggle for CLICKER CONTROL.

Are You Ready for some FOOTBALL!!!

I, as most of you know, am a Red Sox Fan.

I also enjoy football. Preseason games begin in another week or so. While I enjoy preseason, I don't take it too seriously.

One thing I do take seriously is laying the occasional "sporting wager" on a game that interests me. To that end, I have started a new site called Winning Football Picks that will share some of my "sporting insights" into the great game of NFL Football.
