As you may recall from prior threads, I have been participating in Law Rocks Houston, a really fun event where Houston bands comprised in whole or in part by local lawyers and legal professionals battle it out on the stage in support of their chosen charities. I am once again joining up with...

Define “best” however you see fit (most exceptional, favorite, the one you’d want to take into battle, etc.) but you only get to choose one!

As the PAC-12 enters what appears to be its final season, this not so safe space has been created to accommodate grudges, friendly bets, not so friendly bets, snide remarks, smack talk, and general disgruntlement as the Conference of Champions embarks on its last hurrah (or perhaps more...

Trial ongoing where Ed Sheeran is being sued by the heirs of the late "Let's Get It On" songwriter Ed Townsend, who allege the British singer ripped off the tune with "Thinking Out Loud"...

Big fan of looping videos (where musicians create songs by layering multiple instruments). Have toyed with the idea of trying it myself, but all of the detail seems so daunting. What started as a relatively simple idea (usually a guy with a guitar and looping pedal), has grown into musicians...

It's been a dozen years since Bradyfan83 has released any new music. Is it time to come out of retirement to honor a retirement in the lead up to the Super Bowl? Maybe we could make this creation a collective effort of FBG nation. While I penned the original, I think this next iteration would...

FBG Friends:  It’s that time of year again. After a Fall event in 2021, we are back to our regular schedule of holding our annual fundraising event in the Spring. This year’s theme is ROCK STAR, and it’s going to be super cool. If any of you are in the Houston area, it would be a blast to have...

Was just flipping channels and Big Daddy was on MTV. In it, Rob Schneider plays a food delivery guy. I couldn’t really place what ethnicity his character was (Middle Eastern of some sort), but it got me thinking that he has played a wide range of ethnicities in his various roles. And yes, many...

Okay, I realize that there may be a bit of Chance for Hope fatigue here at footballguys (so many have you have been so incredibly generous over the years), but this one has a musical tie-in so I figured why not post about it.  Back in 2019, I participated in Law Rocks Houston, a really fun event...

First, I want to thank all of you for your years-long support of Chance for Hope Foundation, a charity founded by my wife and me to honor the legacy of our son Chance who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 13.  This charity provides support services to children with cancer and their...

Probably doesn’t deserve its own thread, but this story marries the “people accusing innocent black people of doing something wrong in public” theme (e.g., student sleeping in dorm lobby, guy raking his yard, Central Park birdwatcher, family barbecuing in park, etc.) with the inevitable “cancel...

Many of you are aware that my wife and I founded the Chance for Hope Foundation in memory of our son Chance, who lost his battle against brain cancer in 2013. We have a three part mission to (1) provide support services for pediatric cancer families (free temporary housing, meal delivery, an...

Did a search and didn’t see anything about this Netflix comedy starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as an underdog duo from Iceland competing in the Eurovision Song Context. The movie is pretty much exactly what you imagine it to be, hitting all of the expected notes (pun intended)...

Title says it all. List the things that hardly ever happen in real life, but happen ALL THE TIME in movies. I’ll start. - Lone guy with regular job takes on band of violent criminals who either invade his home town or threaten his family in some way. (I watched both Braven and Blood Father on...

Hey all, I know a lot of us are going through a very difficult time, so please know that we're sensitive to that and I hope you'll forgive this solicitation.  If you're not in a position to support us by purchasing a raffle ticket, perhaps you'd be willing to post the link on your social media...
