What a wild, wild world the NFL is. You never know from week to week what could happen, either with teams, injuries, personnel changes, rumors, speculation and a myriad of other issues. Week eleven has been another whirlwind, and if it’s any indication of the future, there could be a wild month and a half left of regular season football to play. We’ll start with the two teams that were undefeated coming into the week, the Saints and the Colts. Both teams were 9-0 coming in, and both teams were 10-0 after Sunday, though they took two distinctly different paths…

For those people who want to lose weight or maintain their lean muscle in the body, it is important to eat regularly. The most important meal of the day is breakfast and should not be scrimped either on the calories. Breakfast can include fruit, cereals, full English breakfast, or muffins, etc. Breakfast should ideally include protein. Eggs and lean bacon is a fantastic way to start the day and supplies the body with all nine essential amino acids. Sugary muffins contain empty calories and should be eaten in moderation. They supply no nutrients to the body. When the body consumes…

Ahhhh, it’s Rivalry Weekend and we can finally get to spoiling and making seasons with games that we all want to call before they’ve begun and yet they never turn out the way we thought.  They just never do.  I suppose you could say that Rivalry Weekend is a form of a playoff because many of these teams play their natural rival and one team always has the other’s “number” and that is always a horrible place to trip up.  Even the team in the rivalry that sucks has a lot to gain by playing well because they are not…

So the battle of words is starting well before any fight will start, but the fight will happen, there are 100 million reasons why.

If you follow me on Twitter then thank you!  You also read one of my tweets yesterday that came right after I read the following headline on the ESPNews ticker “Bills contact Bill Cowher and he declines.”   The Tweet said something like “The Bills are so far beneath Bill Cowher that the 9th level of hell does not adequately describe their lowliness in comparison to him.”  Yeah, I did it, I used the “9th level of hell” reference in an athletic context, but it’s true.  The Bills are beneath Bill Cowher…they just are.  Now, if I had heard something like…

I always knew it was an excellent idea to take a walk after eating during the holidays. When I say “eating during the holidays” I am talking about eating more than I usually do because of all the eats and treats involved during holiday celebration. My family faithfully took a walk after each Thanksgiving dinner. Those walks were pleasurable memories where we’d all be together enjoying the fall colors and misty fog. The walks eased our guilty conscience of over indulging. I came across an excellent idea at a website called Atlantis Fitness. In an article it talks about…

This is a fairly straightforward question. Junk food or healthy, clean food? It’s not a hard one, but so many people don’t know the answer to it. They stuff their faces with cakes and tinned sausages, and then have the nerve to turn around and ask, ‘Why am I fat?’ It’s not an exact science – you eat more, you gain more. It’s basic, and one of the simplest fundamentals of bodybuilding. But, let me ask you the question anyway – do you know the right kind of food to eat? I personally believe you do. If you have the…

There is a new contender in the UFC’s welterweight division.  With a convincing win over Mike Swick at UFC 105,  Dan Hardy is next in line to go toe to toe with a man who many consider to be the best pound for pound mixed martial artist in the world, Geroge St. Pierre.  Even though Hardy is on a four fight win streak in the UFC, critics say Hardy has yet to prove himself enough to be the number one contender.  Guys like Josh Koscheck pay Hardy little respect and feel that his title shot is a bit premature. Hardy…

“Never let a fight go to the judges” is a common stigma amongst fighters. The boxing scoring system has been a part of MMA ever since mixed martial arts adapted its modern rules in 1999 when the International Sport Combat Federation became the first sanctioning body. While the sport needed regulation, they certainly could have used a better system to decide decision victories. As evidenced by the controversial judging decisions in two of the last three UFC main events, this has been a problem. A scoring system wasn’t always necessary. Back in the old days, nearly every fight was finished…

Many people class nuts as the ‘bad foods’ which contain a lot of fat. Yes, they contain a lot of fat but also the mono-saturated fats that the body craves. This is extremely important and helps the body to function at an optimum level. When essential fatty acids are consumed, the body can work on shifting the bad fats in the body. We all require fat in our body to protect organs, keep us warm, and give the skin a healthy glow. For those people who need to lose weight and reduce their daily calorie consumption, nut varieties and peanut/almond/pumpkin…
