Junior high and elementary school had their moments where a girl and boy “went steady” with each other for an entire lunch period and then broke up through their friends. Today with the influx of technology, people need to have a little more tact when it comes to ending relationships. It’s so easy to change your online status to “single” and have everyone and their mother, father, aunt, and cousin Steve inquire about what happened, how it happened and so forth. When you’re the “dumper”, choosing a break up method can be quite stressful and a difficult situation to endure…

Roddy White has been getting Targets like every big city in America, but I don’t see him translating them into points this weekend. The Bengals have only given up two TDs to WRs in the past four weeks. A few things you don’t want to do this weekend are get a DWI, watch a Full House marathon, or start Mike Sims-Walker or Mike Thomas – especially if David Garrard doesn’t start. Did you see last week when James Harrison made road kill of Josh Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi? PSA… Don’t let your flex player be the causality of the best…

I’m guessing that a lot of us here like to go out, and enjoy our bodies. Sometimes when I’m out though, I get this feeling of, ‘Oh, what the hell, I’ve taken the time to go out, I might aswell just go all out’. That’s a bad, bad mentality. Not only is it detrimental to my own body, but it also leads to bad habits. I’m not saying you have to be perfect. Far, far from it. In fact, what I’m trying to say is this – compromise. By compromising, you do get to enjoy yourself, maybe not quite as…

Couch Potato Blitz: Week 7 Picks Week 7 of the NFL is here already! Time sure does fly when you’re worried about a lockout. The predicted winner is in bold. Byes: New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, and Houston Texans Cincinnati Bengals @ Atlanta Falcons – Last week many people had the Falcons as the best team in the NFC. Really? After winning four straight against three teams without a QB (Cardinals, 49ers, and Browns) and an injured, struggling Saints team? They’re probably the same people who think the Shake Weight is more than just a tool to improve…

With the NBA season knocking on the door it’s time to take a look at a few of the prospects starting their rookie campaigns in the There’s good news and bad news for T-wolves fans. The bad news is that the organization has already admitted that they are not championship contenders (as if anyone who watched last season didn’t know that). The good news is they have a great young corps of players to mold for the future. Minnesota drafted Johnson with the fourth pick and have him listed as a shooting guard on the depth chart. I believe this…

What if I told you there a product on the market that you could use in the privacy of your own home that can give you results in half the time? It tones and strengthens your entire body, and builds endurance. This simple and effective tool is called the Dyna-Band. It was originally developed for use in rehabilitation for strengthening and repairing muscles after injury. However, it did not take long for the sports industry to take advantage of the power this fitness tool had to offer. Soon sports teams and athletes were using it to enhance their athletic performances.…

The NHL got into full swing last week with a full schedule, starting with matinees on Columbus Day, October 11, and culminating in a full slate of games October 16, punctuated by two goals from perhaps the game’s biggest star, Sidney Crosby, in the home rink of a team he loves to torture. In between, there were shoot-outs, over time wins, shutouts, and overtime shutouts. Buckle-up your chinstrap, the NHL is just getting its skates started. Monday, October 11 The Columbus Day holiday brought on 7 NHL games and a spate of matinees, including two in the New York metro…

The NFL announced yesterday that, effective immediately, they are cracking down on egregious violations of the current rules.  In other words, they’re going to start fining and suspending anybody who dishes out hits that are somewhat suspect or downright dirty. Based on the hits we saw this weekend I can understand the knee-jerk reaction from the league.  DeSean Jackson got laid out by Dunta Robinson and they both had to leave the game.  Todd Heap got annihilated, and a kid got paralyzed up at Rutgers.  Yes, they were reacting to that too. I know they didn’t actually change the rules,…

Who would have thought that the muscle soreness that you experience after a workout would have an acronym all its own and would have been the subject of many scientific and medical studies? That is exactly the case and, while the findings on the types of treatments that have proven effective have fallen under debate, there is no question that there is much you do can do to overcome the soreness in your muscles that you feel after a hard workout. What is DOMS? DOMS is an acronym for the “delayed onset muscle soreness” that you might feel between 24…

Buckwheat is quite an anomaly in the food world.  After all, it’s got wheat it its name, but it’s gluten free. It’s the seed of a fruit, but we regard that fruit as a vegetable. Humans eat the seeds, but bees make a dark, sweet honey from the flower. All of those things combine to make buckwheat super nutritious and versatile. Though it’s not a true cereal, it acts like one in the same manner as millet and quinoa. Let’s get the story on buckwheat, where it came from, and most importantly, how to use it in your diet! History…
