On Sunday, the Titans will take the field against the Miami Dolphins ... with a wide receiver named Randy Moss.
I haven't updated this blog in a while, but this deserves an update.
The Titans, known for being overly conservative across the board with both play-calling and personnel moves, have pulled the trigger on the boldest acquisition the organization has ever made.
Randy Moss will free up Chris Johnson significantly, as he will demand double-coverage on almost every single play. CJ2K won't have to contend with unblocked defenders nearly as much and should be able to start breaking longer runs (like he did last year) once the Titans establish Moss as a weapon.
The Titans were a Super Bowl team already without Randy Moss. With him? I'm excited just to watch them play.

Haven't posted here in a while!
The Score is doing well - we've expanded the company into two distinct business units, one handling retail operations and one handling conventions/special event business we've pioneered. Not going to go into specifics but the company is in position to have a great rest of the year as we continue to make strides.
If you're reading this and haven't been by the store, you should. I won't be there but at least leave contact info with whoever is there so I can get back in touch with you. Or better yet, if you're not local to Nashville, feel free to order your video games through either our online store or just by calling The Score of Cool Springs directly and having us direct-mail them to you.
There's no reason to think we won't be opening another location next year. So we've got a lot to be thankful for.
I've personally learned a lot since starting this business. Too much to even begin to write. Starting and running a business, and then managing growth, isn't easy or for the faint of heart.
I'll have to come back and try to update this blog again before the end of the year. To those who have reached out and supported The Score as a business, obviously I am very grateful. If you haven't checked us out yet, what are you waiting for?
I'm sure I'll be back here with some kind of year-end update after Christmas. Until then...

I don't have a lot of time to update this blog, but I of course am leaving it up because it has meant a lot to me over the years to be able to document my life here in this space.
The Score, as a business, is doing very well as we enter our second year of operations. We're very blessed to be where we are - poised for a tremendous year of growth and opportunity.
I've bounced back well from my melanoma surgery last year, and have been feeling great. While it seems like a distant memory, the various doctor visits remind me that it's not.
The blog, along with my Facebook page, help me stay connected with friends across the world. I appreciate the emails and correspondence with friends over the past couple of years as I've transitioned into this entrepreneurial role where I have found my calling.
I got on here to say one specific thing, though:
It was brought to my attention that when you search for "Actus Lend Lease" (my former employer) and "mismanagement," this blog is the number one search result. As unfortunate of a representation as that may be, I absolutely will not change anything I've written previously about the subject - in fact, I look forward to elaborating on my thoughts on the company at some point in time.
But please don't construe this to mean I'm interested in talking to you - people out there I've never met, who work for PPP interests and/or competitors - about the company or any particular member of its management.
I once slept in a makeshift pile of sheets on the dirty floor of a vacant Actus house for a week so I could learn what it was like to live in one of these military houses. This is, after all, a company I strongly cared about at one point in time. The company still does great things for our military families, and still today has employees there who I care about.
That said, they are struggling to find an identity post-MHPI and are doing just fine not winning new business or developing successful new strategy without my help.
So get lost. Do not contact me for any reason about Actus Lend Lease. I'm running my own startup now - I don't need these types of distractions. Go bother someone else.
