As far as basketball fans are concerned free agency is over. LeBron James has decided to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach, playing for the Miami Heat. In the most serious demeanor I’ve seen him have, James told Jim Grey that he didn’t have an answer until he woke up this morning. “When I woke up this morning, I knew this was the right decision,” he announced in the ESPN broadcast. James went on to talk about how excited he is to team up with Wade and Bosh— creating what ESPN continues to describe as a super team.…

Much is made of the importance of nuts in our diet, and with good reason. Seeds are often left off the list, either as an assumption that we know how to use them, or out of sheer ignorance. I think there are five seeds that are essential to a well-rounded diet, and today we’re going to look at the first one. Paramount in a balanced diet, for me, is chia. Yep, I mean the very same black seed of 80′s clay animal fame (personally, I loved the sheep). The chia seed is absolutely packed with nutrition, and couldn’t be easier…

Corrective Exercise is a recent trend in fitness that doesn’t focus solely on “getting in shape” or “getting big.” The program is much more specific and can lead to great gains. Because folks like Amar’e Stoudemire are pretty big dudes, it makes sense to bring up any training program he undertakes. However, since corrective exercise can work for anyone,  we’ll also talk about the program as a whole. Corrective Exercise is focused. Former Mr. Universe Dave Draper explains that it “broadly refers to specific exercise or stretches to target a defect in a person’s physical movement.” Corrective Exercise aims to…

The news that broke on Monday concerning JaMarcus Russell‘s arrest for possession of codeine syrup is the bitter end of a tale of failure in Oakland. Not just Russell’s failure, but the Raiders’ failure, as well. Oakland hasn’t been any good since they lost to Tampa in the 2002 Super Bowl. It’s been a long downward spiral in the season since and things never seemed to get better. The tide started to turn with JaMarcus Russell’s release, and I’m certain that the Oakland “brass” were very happy with their decision. They didn’t need any more bad press. So, where did…

The NBA Draft came and went last night at Madison Square Garden without much depth. The fans in attendance booed David Stern mercilessly, John Wall went #1, and some teams attempted to repeat past failures. There are always draft picks that don’t make any sense, but they are usually confined to teams drafting European players we’ve never heard of. If you’re making a bad pick outside of that you’re messing with specters of your own past. In the NBA, it seems that history repeats itself. Certain teams are always pretty good, and certain teams always make bad choices. Just think…

At the beginning of this series, we began looking at eating for your blood type, based on Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s book, Eat Right 4 Your Type. His research offers diet plans for each of the four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. In the previous articles, we looked at how Type As and Type Bs should eat to maintain optimum health. We’re making an absolute about-face now with Type O. The entire theory of eating for your blood type hinges on the way each blood type is said to process lectins. Lectins are a kind of protein that bind…

Charles Woodson is a Heisman Trophy winner — an honor he beat out Peyton Manning for in 1997.  He’s a seasoned NFL defensive back.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  He’s also getting up there in years.  Woodson will turn 34 this season and he needs smart ways to keep his body in shape. When you’ve spent 12 years in the NFL, the game starts to take its toll. This also makes it harder for players to stay in shape. As you can imagine, the more it hurts — the less you want to workout.  Woodson takes a unique approach to getting in shape and he…

Human beings have long searched for the answers on how to live a longer life. At one point we even thought there was something that could restore your prime—the Fountain of Youth. If we could only ask Juan Ponce De Leon how that worked out for him. To my knowledge the closest thing we’ve found to the Fountain of Youth is plastic surgery. You can get your lungs, heart, and even brain tucked or lifted to my knowledge. However, we have been setting records for the length of how long people are living. The U.S. Census Bureau reports show there are 500,000…

LeBron James has determined that he will not go on a “free agent tour” when the NBA free agency window opens on July 1. It would be very easy for him to bask in the sunlight and enjoy all the fun and perks a “tour” would bring. Personally, I think it’s pretty selfish to have the teams come out on his terms. Besides the fact that it’s a waste of resources for a team to leave their offices to hold an “interview” — the “front” is too easy. LeBron has claimed that he wants to “talk basketball” and avoid all…

This week marked the end of inter-league play. Allow me to say thank goodness, it is finally over.  Fantasy Tips–Trading players while their value is high. Which players have had the most impact over the first three months, and which players are my favorites to win MVP and Cy Young? Normally, the highlight of the week would have been Edwin Jackson’s no-hitter, but it seems like they’re happening almost as often as Michael Jackson got nose jobs. The Tampa Bay Rays have been struggling, and getting no-hit for the second time this season is the perfect indicator. Tempers are heating…
