As the decade comes to an end, everyone seems to have rankings for something. Best television show, movie, album, etc. The sports world has given us much to remember over the last 10 years. From the Red Sox breaking the curse to Federer winning the most Grand Slams in history, records have been broken and champions have been crowned. Here’s a look at the players, teams and coaches who defined a decade in sports. NFL Player of the Decade- Peyton Manning: He may have only won one Super Bowl, but no player meant more to their team this decade than…

I have only one theory as to why I think the Colts will go 16-0 (and subsequently 19-0) and complete a season that the New England Patriots could not complete the 19-0 season in 2007. Joy! The Patriots don’t seem to take any joy in anything.  I mean, I’ve watched ALOT of ESPNEWS and seen plenty of Belichick and Brady Press Conferences and they’re all the same.  Just picture it: Belichick is up there and they just won 59-0 (like they did against the Titans this season) and he’s talking about something he feels like he needs to mope over…

The recent dispute between Vikings head coach Brad Childress and quarterback Brett Favre got me thinking; who are the most overrated head coaches in sports? There are plenty to choose from but keep in mind there is a difference from being overrated and just plain bad. In order to be overrated as a head coach, you must have people believing that you are actually good. Here are the top five. 1. Mike Brown, Cleveland Cavaliers: There is no current coach who has benefited from one player quite like Brown has. He has also been fortunate to play in a largely…

Bodybuilders can sometimes over train their muscles by performing tough exercises until they exceed the best maximum workload. When the body suffers this extreme exhaustion, the muscle tissue damage may be irreparable. In severe cases, overtraining may cause raptures and muscle tears. Bodybuilders must make sure that they do not over train their muscles. Weight training is extremely important to build lean muscle tissue in the body but it is always possible to go overboard and cause internal damage to the muscle tissue and overtraining does not give any additional gains. With any form of weight training, it is important…

We are all under pressure. Pressure is another word for stress. When a person thinks of stress, they think of the things that cause the stress: job, children, relationships, money, and time – you name it. One can cope with stress to a degree. Some people do better than others. Everyone has his or her own ’stress threshold.’ If one stays inside this threshold the body functions normally But when the pressures of the world go beyond this point, the stress infiltrates (goes into) the body, and a person feels ’stressed out.’ Most diseases in the body can be traced…

I want to break the NBA into a few categories that I think best describes where all the teams are. This is the best way to get similar teams into similar groups even if they don’t have similar records. For example, just because the Celtics are 21-5 doesn’t mean they belong in the same group as the Lakers (and so on.) You’ll see….let’s start at the bottom: The Eternal Pit of Suck Alone in the Eternal Pit of Suck are the lowly New Jersey Nyets. They haven’t been any good in quite a while and it’s quite painful to even…

Next up..a complete shakedown on the NBA sans the Shaq-talk.

Somehow, Brett thinks he needs more control over the offense. Brett Favre isn’t that poised…he just isn’t.If Brett wants to call his own game the Vikings will be losing on a Favre interception while it’s snowing outside the Metrodome.They will be.He needs to get over himself before he tanks this REALLY GOOD season that the Vikings have put together.But, if you look at it right, he’s almost done that even when he did win the Super Bowl.Almost every year it eventually becomes ABOUT Brett Favre instead of being about the team he’s on.He sunk the Packers (and they replaced him…

Training to failure builds bigger, stronger muscles right. There are two sides to this tale and neither is wrong. Read the Positives vs. Negative effects of training to failure and make your own mind up. Positives: Muscles require sheer exhaustion to grow back stronger, increase in power, gain strength, and build endurance. By training to failure, the exercise you perform gets harder the longer you carry out the exercise, so when training to failure you perform the same exercise until it is physically impossible to do more. This stresses out the muscles big time. When muscles are stressed, they microscopically…

Chiropractic care deals with manipulating the back to help the nerves flow throughout the body. A patient experiences great relief when a chiropractor treats his back. Finding the chiropractor that works best for you plays a part in getting the most out of your chiropractic treatments. Decide what type of chiropractor technique you like best. Familiarity with chiropractic care helps you know which technique you like the most.  Some chiropractors use their hands to manipulate the spine, whereas others use an instrument. Some apply deeper, joint-popping adjustment and others apply low force adjusting. Ask your friends, family members, co-workers if…
