Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 195 - The Stunning Fall of Sherrone Moore and The Impact Outside of Football

The stunning fall of Michigan Football head coach Sherrone Moore has sent shockwaves through college football—and raised deeper questions that go far beyond wins and losses. In this episode of Church Pew Sports, we examine what happened, why it matters, and how moments like this reveal the fragile intersection of leadership, pressure, integrity, and faith.

We then COMPLETELY turn the corner and welcome in 2 Buckeye fans to talk about their team's pummeling of Michigan in The Game and we get to hear a detailed review of the Buffalo Bills' Hallmark Christmas movie - the punishment for finishing last on the CPS College Football Pick 'Em content.

This one has a little bit of everything, from the very serious to some smiles and a powerful 3 Minute Message at the end.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 194 - Kiffin Jumps Ship: Coaching Loyalty, Playoff Chaos & Faithful Leadership

This week on Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson, Pastor Paul Miller, David Collins, and Pastor Dan Davis dive into one of the wildest weeks in college football, unpacking the ripple effects of Lane Kiffin's high-profile departure from Ole Miss to LSU. The crew opens with reactions ranging from frustration to humor, including Bill's inside scoop from Ole Miss AD Keith Carter and David's comedic breakdown of Kiffin's contract incentives—illustrating the absurdity of today's college football landscape.

The conversation then shifts to the evolving nature of coach loyalty, examining whether coaches owe their players the same commitment they once did. Dan and Paul reflect on the stark contrast between long-term pastoral ministry and the increasingly transactional world of college athletics, where NIL money, transfer portals, and chaotic calendars dominate the narrative.

The team also tackles the College Football Playoff debate, questioning the fairness of committee decisions, the SEC's potential dominance, and whether a 16-team format would bring more sanity and equality to the sport.

Shifting gears, the panel discusses NFL storylines, conference championship implications, the Lions–Cowboys matchup, and the Bears' surprising season. They close with personal reflections on integrity, faithfulness, and keeping your word—even when it costs you.

This episode blends sports insight, laughter, and spiritual truth in classic Church Pew Sports style.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 192 - Show Me The Money - The New World Order of College Sports

In this episode of Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson, Pastor Paul Miller, David Collins, and Randy Gilmer dive headfirst into one of the busiest, wildest stretches in the sports calendar — and connect it all back to real life, real faith, and the pursuit of integrity in a chaotic world.

The conversation opens with a fast-paced recap of the latest action across the sports landscape, including the thrilling World Series finale, the launch of the NBA and NHL seasons, and the ever-spinning chaos of the college football coaching carousel.

NFL talk dominates the next segment, beginning with the Chicago Bears' surprising 7–3 record and the Detroit Lions' emotional rollercoaster season.

The group continues by comparing team-building philosophies, contrasting the Eagles' bold, trade-driven roster strategy with the Lions' more hesitant approach under Brad Holmes. This leads to a wider conversation about officiating — a familiar source of "Holy Discontent" — including the perception that controversial calls often go against Detroit. They commend the ACC's transparent replay system and then shift to the billion-dollar private-equity proposal being considered by the Big Ten. Michigan and USC are pushing back, raising concerns about valuation and binding long-term commitments, sparking a deeper conversation about how college athletics is drifting toward a fully transactional model.

Bill laments how NIL has fundamentally changed college basketball and shares his longing for a simpler, relationship-driven era of college sports. David echoes that sentiment, reflecting on how sports and even politics feel increasingly exposed, with the "romantic curtain" pulled back for good.

The episode wraps with a rapid-fire discussion of FIFA's controversial World Cup ticket practices, NCAA sanctions, and the ripple effects of Michigan State's punishment in the college football scandal.

Finally, the crew closes with a powerful reminder about character and legacy, inspired by Maryland basketball coach Buzz Williams, who said he hopes to be remembered not for wins or money but for being a faithful husband and father.

Another week, another blend of sports talk, cultural insight, humor, and faith as the Church Pew Sports crew helps listeners see the bigger picture behind the games we love.
