This week Raven's kicker Matt Stover found himself the center of a controversy about the future leadership of the NFL Player's Union. It started when an e-mail that Matt wrote was leaked to the media. This morning Matt talked about this controversy with Tracey, Mike and Dave. If you missed it click here.
Here's the e-mail that Matt sent to ESPN in response.
We also rejoiced with Mike that he has now lost 50 pounds towards his goal of losing 80 in '08. He dropped two more pounds this week. Amazingly, since he started this quest he has not had a single week where he has gained weight. He's had a couple where there was no loss, but none where his downward direction has reversed.
We also rejoiced this morning with American Idol's decision to re-sing "Shout to the Lord" with the name of Jesus back in.
Enjoy your weekend!

Tracey, Mike, and Dave, Thursday, April 10, 2008Did you see American Idol last night? They closed the show with the remaining eight contestants singing "Shout to the Lord". We spent a lot of time this morning talking about it. There were three issues that came to dominate the conversation:
1. How cool was it that the song was heard by millions around the world
2. But, they changed the lyrics. The removed the name of Jesus and instead sang "shepherd" in it's place
3. How uncool was it to end American Idol Gives Back a few minutes later with a comedy bit featuring Ben Stiller saying some bleeped out obscenities.
In case you missed "Shout to the Lord" on American Idol last night here it is
We also talked with Josh Glaser of the ministry Regeneration. They do a wonderful job helping people break free of sexual addiction. Josh has experienced this first hand.
