Thankful


This Thanksgiving, I’m thankfull for…

Rah. Coach of the year, me thinks. So much for his being a filler until Bill Cowher decided to un-retire. Give him a long extension, and lets enjoy the run.

Ronde.  A coach on the field, and a man of great character—every team needs a guy in this role. I’m thankful to have been along for the ride on this great man’s career. What happened to all that talk about his having lost a step?  I say he’s still got the fire.

Number 5.  Don’t look now, but the future is as bright as this kid’s smile. In all my years of Buc fandom, I’ve never been as excited about a QB in Tampa. 

Cadillac / Blount.  A mentor and a mentoree. A selfless vet and a right cross.  Loving the way the running game is picking up.  Toss back in another selfless vet, in Earnest Graham—I think we’re in fine shape for the stretch run.

Baltimore Ravens. Giving thanks for this weekend’s challenge. These guys are legit. Won’t be any mistaking our progress after this one’s over.

Atlanta and New Orleans.  We’re coming to get you.

Picks? Absolutely. Patriots all over Lions; Saints all over Cowboys; Jets all over Bengals; Packers over Falcons; Steelers over Bills; Eagles over Bears; Browns over Panthers; Giants over Jags; Vikings over Redskins; Bucs over Ravens; Texans over Titans; Seahwaks over Chiefs; Raiders over Dolphins; Broncos over Rams; Colts over Chargers; Cards over Niners

About Darin:

Darin Shaw has served as the Senior Pastor at Christ's Church of Amherst, N.H., since January 2000. He's written a few blurbs, led a few projects and produced a few cool things over the years. The very best of what he's produced are four wonderful girls - Amanda, Katie, Becky and Emily - he managed to pull that off along with his lovely wife Shari. Together they all live in a red house surrounded by lots of trees in the same community with lots of really great people. He is known to hang out on Sunday mornings with people of a much higher caliber than he, and counts that among life's greatest privileges. Then, on Sunday afternoons, Darin and his family settle in for the full slate of NFL games, shouting loudest when the Buccaneers take the field.

Key Stats: 6-2, 240 ... 16-year veteran of Pastoral Ministry out of Florida Bible College and Southwestern Bible College and Theological Seminary ... Boasts of being able to count on one hand the number of Buccaneers games he has missed (either having been there in person, watched on television, or listened to the radio) since they entered the NFL in 1976. ... Sports a lifetime 74 percent accuracy in NFL prognostication ... Certifiable Jesus freak; loving husband; devoted father; zealous blogger.
