While football is prominent in the movie and narrative, it is not the only, or the most important, game being played. The real game is the one we play with ourselves everyday when we make choices. Do we go left or right? Pay off our car with some extra cash or take the family on a vacation? Do we chase fame and fortune or happiness and substance? What is important to us and why? Gather the family, pop some corn, and enjoy a family-friendly television movie about life, family, and football. Continue reading →

Pentology is a modern day version of the traditional playing cards but with a firm footing in fantasy. To that end, Pentology is not a game in itself; no more or less than a deck of traditional deck of playing cards. It provides all one needs to be freely creative to design and play their own games. The sky is the limit with this gem and I couldn’t be happier. For so little, it delivers a seemingly endless variety and replay. Continue reading →
