Several of you have asked about the interview I did with Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck a few weeks ago. We got it uploaded so I thought I would share it with you. I’m a little fond of the last 60 seconds myself. 
Enjoy.

Interview With Matt Hasselbeck
My Little Marino
Here’s my random, very non-spiritual Monday post.
I watched a lot of football this weekend. Very bummed my Titans lost but out of the dozens (okay, maybe hundreds) of plays I saw this weekend this was, by far, my favorite.
On Saturday Jett threw this gem with no time left on the clock.

So let’s talk NFL today. Who are you cheering for these days?
Oh, and I almost forgot. Happy Columbus Day!!
Video Magic
I love making videos. I remember the very first video I ever helped make was a Miami Vice spin-off called “Nashville Vice” when I was nine. My neighborhood friends and I carefully sketched out each scene. I played Crockett and my best friend, Scott, was Tubs. We shot our final scene on the ramp to 440 off of West End Avenue, just minutes from our Cross Point Nashville campus. At the time 440 was still being built around Nashville so it made for a fun place to shoot creative videos.
These days I’m blessed to get to mix my passion for shooting videos with my other passion of telling people about Christ.
I’m hoping one day my son, Jett, may mix those two passions, but these days he’s mixing our shared passion for making videos with his passion for football.
The other night I got to go down to Vanderbilt University to catch up with Kevin Mawae (former Titans player and current president of the NFL Players Association) who I was shooting an interview with which will be part of our Cross Point service this weekend.
I took my son, Jett, with me so he could hang out and watch Vanderbilt practice. When I went to sit down and shoot the video with Kevin I gave him my phone and he went over to the sideline.
Later that night I found this video on my phone. I wondered what he was doing the whole time I was doing the interview. I think this one is going to be an instant Without Wax classic. I did no editing to the video except for adding a little soundtrack for your enjoyment. Do yourself a favor and watch all 90 seconds of this awesomeness.

It’s Football Time in Tennessee
While many of you were watching your favorite college or NFL team over the weekend I was on the sidelines watching the Vikings win their first game of the season 26-6.
I’m keenly interested in the Vikings since the team features my 8 year old son who absolutely LOVES football.
I’m so proud of him. He ran the entire length of the field to score a touchdown on the first play of the game, ran in a two point conversion, had a couple completions at quarterback and had an interception on defense. I wish you could have seen him. He was all over the field!!
Hope you guys had a great weekend,
Pete (A very proud daddy)
The Big Game
I heard this morning 75% of Americans say they’re planning on watching the Superbowl tomorrow night. That’s impressive. I’m not sure whether to be excited about the Superbowl or depressed it signifies the end of yet another football season.
Jett said last weekend. “I can’t believe we have football for like 6 months and then all of the sudden it’s just over. Why do they do that to us Dad? It’s just not fair. Can’t they play year around?”
His statement brought a tear to my eye. My little boy is becoming a man.
So who do you think is going to win the “big game”? Leave your predicition, along with the score, in the comments and I’ll declare the winner of the first annual “Without Wax Superbowl Prediction Contest” on Sunday night.
My Prediction: Cardinals 27- Steelers 20
Oh Da*#!
So last week I walked up stairs and Jett had just gotten out of the shower. He was standing in the mirror and repeating “Oh Da*#, Oh Da*#”, over and over. So we had the following conversation….
ME: Jett what did you say?!
JETT: Oh Da*#.
ME: Son, why are you saying that?”
JETT: Because that’s what you say when the quarterback has the ball and he’s about to be sacked.
ME: Who told you that?
JETT: There was a guy who sat behind me at the Titans game last Sunday. He was bald, had a cowboy hat on and wore an Eddie George jersey. Whenever Kerry Collins was running with the ball and was about to get tacked he would say “Oh Da*#, Oh Da*#”.
ME: Well dude, we don’t say that word OK?
JETT: What word?
ME: The “D” word.
JETT: You mean Da*#.
ME: Yes son, that one.
I”m just praying they don’t get a game of football going at church this Sunday!
Have your kids done anything to shock or embarass you lately?
