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. 

REVIEW: MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

  The last thing an athlete wants to experience is a missed opportunity that keeps them out of the playoffs. Because we have seen so many players miss the postseason because of one game and then never have a chance going forward.  Even non-athletes do not want to miss vital opportunities that could change their lives and careers. You never know when the next opportunity will come or what the cost of creating a new will be. But, you have to be able to adapt a course correct. Never give up.  Experience our commentary on NFL week 5 action and more! 

THE SHUTDOWN

  The American people do not want to see political stunts become the substitute for actual leadership. If you are going to shutdown the government by rejecting clean extensions, then you should have a good reasons than a rebuke for the people who won a fair and free election. 

REVIEW: THE GOOD & BAD

The Philadelphia Eagles are keeping the main thing the main thing, which is winning. The path may not look pretty or may be stressful, but so far the results have been what we need them to be. The NFL season is a long journey and some contenders are not as fortunate to be undefeated.  Also, the consolidation of brands was once an appealing strategy for consumer goods companies. Having a strong brand portfolio can help with promotions like the cross overs that Reese's and Oreos recently did. But, we are seeing some of these big mergers start to fall apart.  Experience commentary on week 4 in the NFL, changing consumer tastes, and more in this week's podcast episode.

NFL WEEK 3 THE COMEBACK

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE TUSH PUSH

      Welcome to The  CRC  Team Channel. The people calling for the end of the brotherly shove are endemic of the attitude in our society that prevents people from  ever rising to meet the demands of any challenge. To not push ourselves to be better tomorrrow than we are today. Just because something is hard does not mean that you should avoid or not try to overcome it. There are certain things in life that are defining, separate people from the pack. For instance, people who thrive at negotiating salaries from those who will complain it is too hard and challenging. Why should a good negotiator be punished for better highlighting the impact of his or her experience and performance? Negotiating is a critical skill in any business or work environment, which can be demonstrated in the negotiation of salary.  We should strive to be the best not just a member of the rest. Find our competitive advantages. And not cower into the anonymity in the crowd. All th...
