Seemingly every year NFL head coaches are fired and hired. Before being axed, the term “hot seat” is often thrown around when describing their job status. The Dallas Cowboys’ head coach, Wade Phillips, was under heavy speculation after getting off to a poor start (1-7). On Monday, Jerry Jones made it official, making Phillips the After trading for Randy Moss only to cut him four weeks later, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf was contemplating whether or not to fire Brad Childress, a.k.a. Chilly. Many Minnesota fans came out in droves Some people had the Bengals in the Super Bowl after winning…

There is so much information out there on how to build, define, and strengthen your quadriceps and calf muscles, but when it comes to the hamstrings, people tend to forget about them. These exercises will help build your hamstring muscles’ strength and size. Remember to designate a day to training this muscle group for best results. As always, warm up first before starting any exercise routine. When performing these exercises it is really important to visualize and feel the hamstrings working. These muscles are not plainly visible, so creating a mind-body connection will help you get the most out of…

With any reduced calorie consumption in the diet, and in order to build lean muscle tissue, it is necessary to consume Essential Fatty Acids and limit saturated fats. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are also known as mono-saturated and polyunsaturated fats, and these are found in sunflower and olive oil products, oily fish, nuts and seeds, and peanut butters.

Tendon problems are a common condition in the United States, and not just among weekend warriors who hit the links or the courts on a regular basis or perhaps weightlifters putting too much metal on the rack. The impact of tendonitis can be felt in the workplace too. Obviously, if you are suffering from this condition, you want to get cured quickly, whether it is to get back to a game you love or a job you need, but you might be surprised to learn that what you thought was a quick and simple cure might actually prolong the problem.…

When the so-called “experts” made their pre-season predictions for the 2009-10 NFL season, teams like the Texans and 49ers were trendy sleeper picks. Not many people though (myself included), expected Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals to be 6-2 and in control of the AFC North at the midway point of the season. But somehow they are 4-0 in the division and only a fluke play against the Broncos and two late turnovers at home against the Texans away from being a perfect 8-0. Coming into the season it was hard to believe Marvin Lewis still had a job. In his six full…

Members of the media and fans everywhere have all been speculating as to when Wade Phillips would be fired as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and Ed Werder, Jerry Jones put those rumors to rest on Monday morning by relieving Phillips of his coaching duties. The Cowboys promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to interim head coach to finish out the season. This decision is a result of the Cowboys losing 45-7 on Sunday night to the Green Bay Packers, falling to 1-7 on the season. Following the loss to Green Bay, Phillips sounded…

Being the other half of someone has its set of challenges. Being patient, thoughtful, and considerate while remaining beautiful, captivating and sexy all at the same time can be hard even the best of us to balance. The idea that women are somehow supposed to be the heart of the home and still remain irresistible vixens invokes two images to mind: Martha Stewart and Angelina Jolie. Although some men may view Martha Stewart as being older — what she represents is what we, as women, think is expected from us. A woman that can cook, clean, is crafty, has a…

If you’ve never heard of amaranth, you’re not alone. This tiny grain was all but eradicated centuries ago. True to its name, however, amaranth has stuck around and is now making a resurgence. While it looks like a pale poppy seed, amaranth is actually a member of a class containing tumbleweeds and wild beets — how rustic! World class nutrition doesn’t hurt, either. Add its gluten-free status to the mix, and you’ve got a winner! The Backstory In Greek, amaranth means “everlasting.” Around since at least 3000 B.C., it was cultivated by the early Mesoamericans along with squash, maize, and…

When Watchmen was released in 2009, it helped to make actors like Patrick Wilson and Malin Akerman into stars.  It also meant that the actors were going to have to be in shape. Playing superheroes isn’t easy, but when you’ve got a good workout routine you can easily convince the viewer that you are Nite Owl or Silk Spectre. The trick is to do the right workout to get the right results. Superheroes are slim and toned.  They don’t build a lot of muscle mass so they do some extra cardio to make sure they don’t bulk up.  Just imagine…

The Houston Rockets fell to 0-5 with a loss to the Spurs last night and all I could think was, “I hate stats.”  Their pretty-boy GM, Daryl Morey, runs the team based on stats and the like. It isn’t working. I think the team was just fine when Hakeem Olajuwon was working the post.  Don’t you?  Instead, everybody on the planet got obsessed with stats.  Fantasy sports and anything math-related has made sports, at times, unbearable to watch. Just look at all the “stat stars” we have in sports.  Aaron Rodgers and Matt Schaub are supposed to be “superstar” quarterbacks…
