Has the National Football League’s emphasis on eliminating blows to the head and players that are deemed “dirty” made the game that Americans love to watch soft? If you listen to Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison, the answer is a resounding “yes!” Harrison, who was fined $75,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi in a game played on October 17, 2010, complained to Showtime’s Inside the NFL that the monetary fine and new tight rulings by the NFL’s front office have changed the way he plays the game. “That was my least productive game…

Do you suffer from chronic stress? Would you like to find a way to ease pain and improve performance in activities and performance? Then I might just have the answer for you. In just 10 sessions you could experience maximum well being of body and mind, Rolfing. What is Rolfing? The name is strange, to be sure. While it may sound like what happened after a particularly rowdy frat party, it’s actually a method of assisted stretching named after Dr. Ida Rolf, pioneer of the technique. Dr. Rolf believed that there was more to health than the limitations of her…

Yes, Cam Newton is the best player in college football, right this very second. Remember who the “Heisman winner du jour” was a few weeks ago? Denard Robinson (a.k.a. Shoelace). Unfortunately, Cam Newton is getting more play than Robinson did in the Heisman landscape. Bo Jackson and Mark Ingram have already come out and said they’d vote for him, and this probably going to start a landslide of vote-decision-making. It’s pretty easy for the media to buy into a guy, and with the south region already in Newton’s hip pocket, he’s pretty much a shoe-in. I don’t think anybody is…

Has your current routine stopped yielding results? This is very common in fitness and bodybuilding. Many times we are so wrapped up in follow a specific plan or weight loss routine that we do not stop and think about challenging our bodies in new ways. Actually, if you do not continually update and mix in new exercises everyone will hit a plateau at some point. A plateau is when you stop seeing results, the scale will not budge, and you start to lose hope, but this does not have to be the case. With some simple changes in diet and…

Couch Potato Blitz: Week 8 NFL Week 8 pick’em time is here! If anything, week 7 taught me to expect the unexpected when making my selections this week. I was a disappointed 7-7 bringing my season total to 66-38 – still better than most of these so-called experts I see. Allow me to stray away from the NFL for sec and be a little “Negative Norman.” Week 8 lands on Halloween this year making me very upset. Instead of watching the Saints and Steelers, I will be trick or treating with my son. For grown men in a relationship, Halloween…

Good posture is not only essential for day-to-day activities but also during weight training. When one part of your body is out of alignment then another part has to compensate, creating an increased risk for injury, decreased efficiency in performance, and a muscle imbalance throughout the body. Over training can lead to poor posture. For example, if one over trains the chest muscles (which usually means under trained back muscles), the result is rounded shoulders. Physical therapists call this upper cross syndrome. So what is “good posture?” The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines good posture as, “the state of…

The holidays are coming up and if you’ve been with your guy for awhile you may have decided to take him home to meet your family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are times for joy but they can also be nerve-racking when your entire family is under the same roof.

To lessen any awkward moments, here are a few tips to keep in mind before you bring him home for the holidays. Prep Him If you’ve seen…

Couch Potato Blitz: Week 8 Fantasy Edition Fantasy football week 8 is upon us! The anxiety of setting your lineup becomes greater every week with injuries and byes. It must be similar to how Justin Bieber feels about whether or not to cut his hair – that is three weeks in a row with a Bieber reference; I do it for the ladies. This is the Halloween edition of Quarterback The Dolphins have given up 300-yards passing and 18 plus fantasy points to QBs in 3 of their last 4 games. Last week Carson Palmer may have realized that he…

So I was pushed towards an article about the DEA coming down on issues within The Controlled Substance Act, which its purpose is to protect against abuse. This is a good thing because Narcotics , such as Percocet, Oxycontin, Fentanyl , and morphine, as well as many benzos, such as Xanax , are killing people every year, even young people. But when this organizations start bending the rules , and actually start taking the needed the medicine out of the hands of the sick and injured, especially the geriatric community ( the actual people that need it the most and…

We know him as the Football Analyst that always has something to say about EVERYTHING. Now he has something to say about his own steroid use. From Espnstar.com: “We did steroids to get away the aches and the speed of healing,” Bradshaw said. “My use of steroids from a doctor was to speed up injury, and (I) thought nothing of it. It was to speed up the healing process, that was it. It wasn’t to get bigger and stronger and faster.” The No. 1 overall pick in the draft in 1970, Bradshaw also said he took the steroids with a doctor’s prescription.Steroids were not…
