While most of the general public tends to focus on the negative aspects, steroids actually offer numerous benefits to the people who use them.  In fact, similar substances have been widely used since the days of ancient times when Greek warriors consumed high protein diets to battle fatigue and outlast their rival out on the field.  Some 3000 years later, researchers have discovered that a large number of the protein supplements consumed by celebrities and athletes contain many of the same ingredients found in steroids.  If you thought steroids were simply one huge downside, you will be surprised to learn…

Who better to express the incredible amount of angst even fans of good teams are feeling? Who better displays raw emotion like a band that was completely messed up when they did all their recording and yet still sounded…

In sports, as in life, unfortunate circumstances are bound to occur. Some are minor:   a bruise, a stinger, having the wind knocked out of you. You take a couple plays or a couple minutes off and you get back in the game, your intensity and desire no less sated or quelled by the previous events. Other times, things are a bit more serious: a broken leg, a torn knee ligament, maybe elbow surgery for examples. It costs you significant time, but with rehabilitation and dedication, you can resume your career the next season, and conceivably at the same high level.…
