Quick Hit: Conference Realignment Revisited

Last year the college football world was all abuzz with talk of a potential realignment that would have the Big 12 imploding with half the league going out to the Pac 10 and the other half joining up with the SEC or Big 10 or wherever, setting off a massive ripple effect that would transfigure [...]

Quick Hit: The Coming Presidential Election

It isn’t very often that we talk about politics here at Everyone’s Entitled to Joe’s Opinion.  Politics can be a very divisive thing; expressing strong opinions of one political persuasion is a sure way to lose friends and readers of the opposite political persuasion.  And we don’t want that here at Everyone’s Entitled to Joe’s [...]

Quick Hit: The NFL Labor Dispute

Normally, my default position in professional sports labor disputes that involve people who make more money in one hour than I will see in my entire life and are whining because they can’t figure out how to equitably divide all that money is “I don’t care.” But in this case, I have to go with [...]

Quick Hit: Rob Bell

Rob Bell is coming out with a new book. But you knew this already.  Unless you have been living under a rock the size of Georgia, you have heard the buzz that has been going all around the Christian blogosphere lately concerning Rob Bell’s new book and how he is really a universalist. A masterful [...]

Quick Hit: “Here For You”?

The latest Passion album is out now, and it is called “Here For You”. What is meant by that title? There are two ways they could go with this.  The first is “We are here for You, Lord.  We are thoroughly committed to You, sold out to You, on fire for You.  We love You [...]

Quick Hit: The Tennessee Game

Here, a couple of days late perhaps (deal with it) are my thoughts on the Tennessee game this past weekend: This was a textbook example of what happens when a team with a bad record and good talent meets a team with a bad record and bad talent:  Usually the team with the bad record [...]

Quick Hit: Guess Who Said This?

“And I think also understanding that, you know, that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings — that we’re sinful and we’re flawed and we make mistakes, and that we … achieve salvation through the grace of God.” Sounds like a straightforward articulation of [...]

Quick Hit: The South Carolina Game

No matter where I am in the world, I can always tell whenever Georgia has taken a particularly distressing loss by looking at my blog and seeing how many people find it by using the search term “fire mark richt”. It has taken me a few days to think this one through, but here is [...]

Quick Hit: The Ground Zero Mosque

I love it when people get all jacked up about a story before checking to see if they have their facts straight. If you have been tracking with the news lately, you know that there are plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York, that the whole Republican establishment is all up [...]

Quick Hit: Tommy Tuberville

Tommy Tuberville has a penchant for speaking his mind and letting the chips fall where they may.  When he went for his interview at Texas Tech, he told them straight out that he was going to focus strongly on defense and the running game.  Despite the fact that Texas Tech is not known for either [...]
