3/9/2026: RETAIL LIFE

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Walmart recently lost the crown as the largest company by means of revenue, which it held for the past 21 out of 25 years. Now, Amazon with its mix of different businesses serving individuals, small businesses, and corporations is now the world's largest company.  The two biggest retailers have great reach and serve customers of all kinds. Amazon has the advantage of having a plethora of stuff to purchase online and hope to receive it within the 2-3 days for delivery. Walmart has improved its e-commerce business.  Personally, I use both at times and was actually at a Walmart early this morning to get some grocery items. If I do not want to wait for certain items, I will bear with the hoards of people and make the purchase. Otherwise, I will make the purchase online and hope it actually arrives within the 2 days. Normally, it does, but there is always that delay for an item I need on time.  My wish for some Walmart locati...

PRESIDENT'S DAY

Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Happy President's Day America! We celebrated the most important and impactful office in all of the world. The ability to bring hope and drive change through championing effective policies, negotiating desired results, and standing up for our interests.  In reality, the Office of the President of the United States is not the end all be all. The President is charged with executing the laws of the United States of America, but is largely incapable of enacting the legislation if not already passed by both houses in Congress.  Executive orders only guide policy during the presidency that the orders were enacted. Despite the fabrications from the left, America never had a king, emperor, or monarch. Even if they had the power of the pen. Some tried to push the level of power and others just enjoyed  the notoriety and avoided consequential decisions.  But the president can impact how laws are enforced and what the central focus of...

SOCIAL MEDIA SOCIETY

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. There is always someone on social media that will amplify messages even if those messages are not truly accurate. But people connect with things and are not always concerned with what they are promoting. Sometimes it is simply to be perceived as nice or they know the poster.  But should the person be more focused on being right or being happy? Personally, I could not be happy if I pushed information that was not try simply to go along to get along. And I could not be happy if people are not going to be honest with me.  We are not perfect. People make mistakes. But we should have the right intentions to always do what is right not what is the easy way out. And this is the message in the following podcast episode.  FEATURED PODCAST:

SUPER BOWL 60

Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The NFL crowned a new champion in the Seattle Seahawks. A dominant performance in this game against the New England Patriots, who just were not able to get anything going consistently.  I am not sure how well this game stacks up in the minds of the fans compared to previous games. Competitive battles are generally more entertaining. But this was a bit non-competitive overall.  The dueling halftime shows were the talk of some people following the game, but I think it is a perfect way to keep people engaged in the product. I think some are not seeing the side of those disenfranchised or missing the real because of the narrative.  The Seattle Seahawks will now go up for sale. Klint Kubiak will now go coach the Las Vegas Raiders. And the NFL switches to off-season mode, which is still more must see than other sports. Please experience our commentary on the game.  FEATURED PODCAST:

SUPER BOWL PICKS

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The 2025 NFL season comes to an end this Sunday as the New England Patriots battle the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60. Another great season of football, where it felt teams were closer to each other than any time in recent memory. Made for great memories. Well, not the best season since my Philadelphia Eagles are not in the big game. But it definitely is good for fans in the New England area or the Seattle metropolitan region. For the rest, it is the last chance to watch a meaningful football game for seven months.  Just because the action on the field is over, the NFL season just will shift into the NFL offseason, which is still more exciting than any other league for the most part. I love baseball and my Phillies. And the playoffs in basketball and hockey, but it is not the same as football.  We have seven months to see who stays or leaves for each team. For Eagles fans, we will try to glean any information about what ou...

THE CRC: THE HIRE

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. My Philadelphia Eagles finally have an offensive coordinator, a new quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator, and hopefully a new philosophy on offense. In Sean Mannion, they  hired a high ceiling, but inexperienced offensive mind. The Eagles have a preference on choosing innovation over traditionalist dogma.  Sometimes that could backfire aka the Chip Kelly experiment. But this one could end differently because they seem to be adding experience around the young soon to be playcaller. Please experience my content below. 

NATIONAL CHAMPION

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. There are many prominent voices that call out the modern era of college sports. The impact of player compensation, conference realignment, and the expansion of the playoff model. Some raised good points, others just did not like the lack of predictability in how the sport would evolve further in the future.  The most unlikely national championship was crowned to a team that was not considered for a long time a formidable foe. The once unwinnable programs became the undefeated champion in the new era of college football, providing inspiration to many programs out there.  A team without 5 star talent at any position. A coach that was only in his second year. And a quarterback that transferred in for this season. A recipe that created an undefeated season, a Heisman Trophy, and a national championship. Because a coach and school understood the opportunity out there to recruit the right fit for the team not the media guide. ...

JUSTICE SERVED

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The past occurrences of regime change Americans have seen take place has been a mixed bag. And the approach and reasoning have been murky as well.  Americans do not want to constantly serve as the world's police, but understand the need to act when there are direct actions against our society, economy, and interests.  While people are coming to grips with the recent occurrence, they should not miss the potential for the Venezuelan people to finally have a society and economy that benefits the people not rogue nations grifting on them. 

FINAL WEEKEND

   Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The NFL season has come to an end and 14 teams will prepare for a run to the Super Bowl. And the other 18 will prepare for the future with a focus on improving their rosters or their coaching staffs.  The NFL is the greatest sports league in the world and there is nothing more exciting than football, especially in the playoffs, where every snap is so intense. Every decision matters much more.  Please experience my comments on what has taken place since the final regular season game. And my picks for Wild Card Weekend. 

YEAR 2025

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Happy New Year!  The year 2025 was a consequential year for Americans. There was a noticeable shift in how our government operates with the intent of delivering change requested by voters. And to restore our economy, society, and global peace.  For us fans of the Philadelphia Eagles, we will cherish the privilege of standing in cold weather to celebrate our second Super Bowl championship. We have the talent to do it again, but not the consistent performance. This past week did not help.  Please experience our recap of the big moments and issues over the past year and the recap of our close but key victory over the past weekend.  

THE CRC: BACK TO BACK

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Much like the Christmas season when we are younger, the 2025 NFL Season is a season of hope. There are no clear cut favorites in either conferences. Every team will be somewhat beatable. And the bottlenecks on the AFC side are not there this year! The unpredictability is exciting for the general audience and potentially nerve-racking for fans supporting a particular team. Will make for great viewership and potentially exciting games, if the newcomers are able to live up to the hype around them.  But, there are still two weeks of action to settle the two remaining slots in the NFC, the five in the AFC, and the order for each team to decide the byes and the matchups. A potential battle of the backup could be impact the playoff field and the futures of so many players and coaches! I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season! While you are celebrating with your loved ones or just enjoying some time off, maybe listening ...

PRESS vs PROPAGANDA

Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The stated purpose of the media is to educate the public of what is taking place in society. And to provide insight to the general public about the happenings with power brokers that may impact our every day lives and outcomes. That is why we view the press as a vital institution.  That esteem or high regard is somewhat lost when we realize that the actions are not consistent with the social purpose. When there is disconnect between what we believe an institution should be doing and what they are actually doing. When the fine line between press and propaganda is broken and you can no longer trust the product.  There is are many institutions or professions where our collective views differ from the actual performance of those in the fields. We hold these individuals in high esteem without connecting them to the quality or lack thereof in the products or services they put forth in society.  I believe that good journalism still ex...

THE WORLD DID NOT END

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. I love being a Philly fan. We are passionate about our teams. Our Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, and Union. We cheer for them with every ounce of our being and feel down to our core the disappointment when our teams do not perform as expected.  Most other sports communities may just look at their teams as just a source of entertainment. But not us. To some degree our teams become part of our DNA. Even when we leave the Philly area, our allegiance never waivers, never falters.  But fandom can become fanatics when you lose perspective of the fact that the players we love and the coaches that orchestrate the greatness are human beings, who deserve the basic respect of being able to live free of harm.  Good people can try their hardest and not produce the desired outcome. That is not just unique to sports, but in life. Many good people simply are not able to perform as expected. But that does not give the right for others...

ANOTHER BIG WIN

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The Philadelphia Eagles are answering every question that the schedule has put in front of them. How well will they do against two Super Bowl contending teams? Turns out, pretty good. How well would they do starting the season against teams they defeated on their path to a title? Really good.  The Super Bowl will be won based on points scored and points preferred not style points. This is not gymnastics or figure skating. So, as long as they continue to end the games with at least one more point than their opponents, we should not be completedly worried.  Ideally, the Eagles would win every game 35-6 and we would enjoy the games without some level of cardiac episodes. But, the goal is to win the game. They play to win the games and so far they are.  The challenge every sports team will have to face during their pursuit of greatness is distractions, real or fabricated. Just like any organization, there will be people who ...

WINNING WITHOUT A GAME

Welcome to The CRC Team Channel. The NFL Trade Deadline is generally a normally a more docile event than the MLB trade deadline. But this one was very impactful. Especially to teams that intend to contend this year and those who wish to contend sometime in the new future.  Usually, we see players move to new teams, struggle to learn the new system and the player moves on in the offseason. But, this year, the trend of players with multiple years of control entered the football universe.  The Cowboys fans are ecstatic about their trades. But those are clearly future looking with little chance it helps this season because of their secondary issues. And the Colts invested in a player that can pay dividends for years to come, as he was extended by his former team.  A new approach to midseason trades! In the following episode of The Christopher Peter Podcast, we discuss the great NFL action of Week 9, what our Eagles did during their bye week, and the NFL trade deadline. Pleas...

WEEK 8: RETURN TO DOMINANCE

  Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The theme for many teams this season is redemption to a degree, where prominent teams needed to find a way to get back to a level of play they previously demonstrated.  Every week is different, every game is unique, and every opponent adapts to what you do best. But, teams want to be able to build of success and continue their upward trajectory as long as possible.  And this season we are seeing teams start off shells of their former selves. Then overcome the adversity that comes with roster change and shift in the environment they play in. We are seeing that some teams may have found the magic formula to restore their identities in the current season.  In the following episode of The Christopher Peter Podcast, we discuss the lopsided football action from this past weekend. While every game was essentially a blowout, there was some useful insights gained from the action. Please experience our week 8 coverage in Return to...

VICES & CONSEQUENCES

Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The puzzling aspect of scandals involving high profile personalities that may put them in jail or ban them from what made them famous is the reason why. Why would they risk their livelihoods for something that pays less than what they are currently making? For us normal people, it may seem like an obvious choice to avoid the risk. But the reality is that people of any economic class can become susceptible to vices that can drastically change their life and ruin the reputation they spent their whole career building.  When it comes to celebrities and other high profile people, we must always remember that we do not really know them. We see the interviews, read social media posts, but do not see them on a day to day basis. There are many people who we do see routinely that do things we have no idea about.  In the following episode of The Christopher Peter Podcast, we discuss vices, the potential consequences, and how we may prevent the...

WEEK 7: THE BOUNCE BACK

   Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. Our Philadelphia Eagles are back on the winning track. After two straight losses, all it took was a matchup against our former starting quarterback to right the ship. And there was finally some light at the end of the tunnel.  The NFL season can be very challenging with its ups and downs along an 18 week regular season. The hope is that your team is playing its best football at the end of the season. Hoping that the performance at the beginning did not create that big of a hole to fill.  The issues with the Eagles seemed to be on the path towards resolution. Too early to tell, but for one week, all things are positive.  In the following episode of The Christopher Peter Podcast, we discuss the great action from week 7 of the 2025 NFL season. Experience The Bounce Back to see our take and our fun predictions for week 8!

LEADERS DO NOT LARP

    Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. There is a clear distinction between our leading political parties, which was clear as day this past week. President Donald Trump and Republicans celebrated historic peace and the return of hostages held for the past 2 years. On the other side, Democrats were using donor money to fund their nationwide larping.  The pretending that the United States operates under some form of monarchy or dictatorship is simply ridiculous. And it is not surprising why the average mainstream person is not connecting with them or the politicians they support. Or the policies they call for.  The radicalization of the Democratic Party is clear as day. They continue to move away from the mainstream Americans to their own detriment.  Rational American voters do not appreciate political stunts. Nor should they. That is all the Democratic Party has been up to lately. They have no substantive policy positions to offer the public.  They...

THE CRC: WRONG HILL

    There are many times where the words of a person are less impactful when you combine the surrounding actions and related events. Given that framework, there is no reason that our federal government should be in a shutdown.  Political pageantry in place of principled policy should not impact the broadest population of the American people. Experience our discussion of the politics around the current government shutdown.
