Well, friends, we're nearly two weeks into Lent Madness XVI and the FUTURE IS NOW! Fr. Christian Anderson and Fr. Michael Sahdev have officially released their VERY FIRST EPISODE of Monday Madness. In typical Lent Madness fashion, it is EPIC and you should DROP EVERYTHING (Unless you're holding a mug of green beer. Or a small child. Or a Saintly Scorecard.) AND WATCH IT NOW!
But seriously, Tim and Scott are thrilled to welcome Christian and Michael onto the Lent Madness team and we know everyone in the Lent Madness Global Viewing Public will warmly welcome them into their hearts, even if they changed the opening theme music.
Watch Now!

Please don't wear your collars. It sets you apart from the rest of us.
May I suggest a Saintly Poetry Round? I know a limerick guy....
Us old guys. You say "watch now". But there is nothing to click on. Except "fshare", "email", and "tweet. This is argot; I Do not do any of these except email. And that takes me to a rabbit hole.
Please upgrade your site for English speakers. I'm native and have no idea what your site is suggesting.

Interesting commentary. I understand your reluctance to use Fr. Kano's given name of Hisanori, but you might check your pronunciation of Hiram. Pretty sure it's like Hy-rum.
Welcome and all the best.
Thank you doing Lent Madness…first introduced to the fun when in Mesa Az at the church I attended there. I continue to learn from you posts.
Thank you.
Blessings from

Thanks for the shout out for Hiram Kano of Nebraska.
The correct pronunciation of his first name is Hy' rum. Sounded to me that you got his last name, Kano, right-- Kah' no.
Not a fan. Bring back Scott and Tim.
I get too many emails. I want one email per day with that days match up. Thanks.
Oh well. All things do change. I am pleased I still can read and vote for my favorite saints. Monday commentaries aren't necessary if I don't understand the dialog. Young people will enjoy the fast music (?)and fast speech. Happy Lent! From which churches and states did they broadcast?
Love the energy, Christian and Michael! It was fun to listen to your sports themed commentary although I had to ponder a few references - I’m old and out of touch. I enjoyed hearing your picks of the week and it will be fun to hear your take as we work through the brackets in the coming weeks. Yay to the expanding Lent Madness team! Happy Lent indeed.
When is the Rose Sunday in Lent?
This pair seems much more masculine in their presentation than the SEC-- the heavy emphasis on sports metaphors. Those of us who pointed out that a woman wasn't chosen as one of the new presenters, alas, appear to have been all too prescient.
Fantastic improvement with Fr Christian and Fr Mehdev (sp?). Lively and I like the linkage with other ESPN shows!
Rose Sunday aka Mothering Sunday is the 4th Sunday in Lent. This year, March 30.
Change is hard. I miss the music that used to accompany Tim and Scott.
Hope my Lent Madness bracket is better than my basketball picks.
Enjoying our new additions
Great show, Christian and Michael! I love your commentary and the spotlight on the saints from last week and those who are in competition this week. To my friends of my generation (65+), RELAX! Lent Madness continues...we are still voting and learning. We want the church to grow and these two young priests are fine examples of newer thinking and ways to invite ALL to our wonderful church. Let's support them and be open-minded about Lent Madness 2.0. Cheers!
I am fine with both the past and the present. FYI - remember to go to YouTube if you do YouTube and click on the "like." They have a YouTube channel now. I do a printout of some of the MM blurbs. From YouTube you can copy any of the frames and paste into a document.
how fun! very much enjoy the Monday Madness reboot! thanks! just like to add that I did pick Julian of Norwich for the win last year (but James the Just just busted my bracket too, sadly) looking forward to next Monday : )
So I have gotten no Tuesday saints to vote on. I got two Monday notices. What is going on? Several times it would not let me vote and now it will not send anyone to vote for
Great job! Great addition.
Hello,
I did not receive today's matchup for Lent Madness. The last email I got was for Monday Madness. Please check to see if somehow I was dropped. I did look at spam and promotions.
Thank you,
Helene
I am still wondering if there is a Tuesday “Madness” pair to vote on. I got no Lent Madness Saints today.
This was great. Would love to know what programs you're using to create all the additions!
Problem, though...this morning (3-18) the voting emails didn't come through.
Where is Tursdays post??
Hmm, I did not get an email with today’s Lent Madness. Wondering if it was just me. Please don’t forget me! I love Lent Madness!
Unfortch the sports metaphors are lost on me because I don't like sports, but I love Lent Madness. Also, miss the organ music accompanying the scrolling outro.
I am not getting Tues
I love Lent Madness. Just recently learned about it. Christian and Michael, you are both doing a fantastic job! Thanks for making this for us! What a fun way to remember the saints during Lent.
