In a few short weeks pitchers and catchers will be reporting to training camp, so Major League Baseball and its fans can try to will someone other than the evil empire (New York Yankees) to a World Series Championship. The baseball off season has been over looked for many reasons. Two of the major reasons [...]
Yes, I said it, the Saints are NOT “Worst to First”. The Saints were a good team before this season and will be after this season. We need to stop fawning over the Saints like they just rebuilt New Orleans all by themselves. The New Orleans Saints have been playing good football for a couple [...]
I tell novice players you need to learn the basics of racquetball in order to play well. If you don’t learn the basics, you get hurt or lose interest in the game fast. Like handball and squash, the racquetball court consists of four walls, a ceiling and a floor. You play the game to 15 [...]
Racquetball injuries are common. If you play the sport enough times, you are bound to get hurt. The injuries happen many times due to the velocity of the ball and the quick movements required with the intention of winning the game. The little ball travels in the confines of a relatively small court. Your body gets [...]
So you think you’re hardcore, eh? You might drink raw eggs. You might eat pounds of boiled chicken breast without salt when you’re leaning out. Do you drink greens? If not, you need to start right away! Greens contain minerals such as iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. They have vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, [...]
The Cavs swept their season series with the Lakers, but LeBron says it doesn’t mean anything. Is he being coy or does he actually get it this time? There hasn’t been much of a change in the Top 10—for me—since we last talked about this, but there are some interesting subplots brewing in the NBA. [...]
There is a great joke amongst sports fans, especially college football fans that states “Superman wears Tim Tebow pajamas.” This joke speaks to the greatness, popularity, and influence that Tebow possesses. Most parents hope to raise a child that projects a similar image to the one Tebow seems to have (I say that with hesitance [...]
Ask any MMA fan who the best pound for pound fighter in the sport is and two of names that will immediately come up are UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre and UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. St. Pierre’s dominant wrestling and striking have made him one of the best fighters the sport has seen. [...]
Don’t we all want to look like this guy? He’s Tony Horton, the owner of Team Beachbody. They have about eleventy jillion workout programs, but their big seller is P90X. I bet you’ve seen the infomercial (and if you haven’t, apparently either you never have insomnia or don’t own a television). The basis is this: [...]
I always liked Greg Gumbel better than his brother Bryant, but Bryant kept it a little too “real” the other day on his show. After Mark McGwire came out and admitted that he used steroids during the 90′s everyone started taking shots at “Big Mac”. It didn’t get any better when Bryant Gumbel took his [...]
All of the major networks seem to be over covering the remaining four teams in the NFL Playoffs. So much so to the point that they have already started doing Super Bowl coverage and we don’t even know who the teams are yet. I will however give you my projected winners for this weekends action, [...]
The guys who compete in strongman contests aren’t your average Joe. If you read my piece on the events in strength athletics, you know that you couldn’t just pull a guy off of the street to compete (unless of course he wanted to have a stroke that day). The top five finishers this year put [...]
It’s coming. The big one. The one we’ve all been waiting for. This summer, 32 of the best national teams are headed to host country South Africa to compete for soccer‘s most prized trophy – the World Cup. This time round it’s the 19th series, and the competition is looking more fierce than ever. There [...]
I am happy to inform you that trends in video games are changing. I am seeing more active participation and less individualization. I am speaking of video games like Wii from Nintendo. I see players moving about and interacting with other players while they play a Wii game of tennis, bowling, baseball or racquetball. Moms Like Wii USA Network reports that the Wii [...]
The AFC and NFC championship games have become nearly as big as the Super Bowl. I’ll bet that’s why I am SO torn over who to pick in these games. My boss told me to “Go with the stronger team”, and threw a little emoticon on the end of that one because everyone knows this [...]
Just in case you missed our exclusive coverage of the first annual Axio Labs Strongman Contest in beautiful South Africa, here’s your chance to experience more than mere words and pictures can express. Check out the video to watch these beasts take on Africa stones in a medley walk, Atlas Stones for repetition, and other [...]
To pound his body into shape for the big-budget version of The A-Team, Bradley Cooper speed-hiked up the Grind, a famous trail outside of Vancouver that shoots up 2,800 feet of mountainside, completing the grueling trek in just 37 minutes. “The man,” says director Joe Carnahan, “is a beast.” Another Beast But I think there [...]
The first of four Grand Slam Championships are underway in Australia. Broadcaster Dick Enberg called this the most competitive men’s draw in Australian Open history. Will Rafael Nadal make a run to win it all and reclaim his number one world ranking, or can Roger Federer continue to dominate men’s tennis? Which one of the lesser [...]
A hot button issue in sports today is steroid use, most notably anabolic steroids or as the sporting world refers to them as PED’s (performance enhancing drugs). I don’t and have not used steroids in my lifetime and probably wouldn’t let or encourage my children to use them. With that being said, I don’t have [...]
2009 was a huge year for the sport of MMA. Strikeforce emerged as the first organization capable of challenging the UFC, while fighters like Jose Aldo and Dan Hardy burst on to the scene. Some of the sport’s best further proved their greatness with Fedor Emelianenko , Anderson Silva, and Georges St. Pierre all making cases to be considered [...]
