Fantasy sports is big business. Between pay-for-play leagues, magazines, “scouting” services, and TV and radio talk shows, fantasy sports accounts for billions of dollars in revenue. An estimated 30 million people played fantasy sports according to a survey conducted by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association in 2007, and that number is sure to have risen exponentially since that time. For many, fantasy football is the main focus. However, if you are a puck head, meaning you love hockey, you’re getting geared-up for fantasy hockey drafts as many teams in the NHL began training camps.

Dear Alex, You suck! Ok, let me back up. You were a very good quarterback in college. Taking Utah, with Urban Meyer as your head coach, in that gimmicky offense to a BCS game was impressive. You used a once-proud franchise like the 49ers to get rich quick with your smoke and mirrors.  You knew that you didn’t have the intestinal fortitude to run a pro offense.  You knew that you couldn’t scramble around in the NFL like you did in college. Yet, somehow, you suckered the Yorkes into drafting you too high and spending far too much money on…

Do you ever find yourself finishing your plate and realizing you are not hungry anymore, but you continue to eat?  Many of us have an emotional and mental relationship with food.  When we are in a bad mood or sad, we continue to pick at the plate even though we are completely full. Others of us have been on diet after diet and have forgotten how to enjoy food, and then how to stop when we are finished.  We need to remember that feeling of satisfaction and then how to let food go. First Steps The first step is realizing…

They are foremost a lower-back exercise, but they work your entire backside from your glutes to your neck. The deadlift engages your entire core and all of the muscles in your legs.

The high intensity of the deadlift will exhaust every muscle in your body. However, a deadlift can be dangerous if it is executed incorrectly.…

With big quarterbacks playing big games this weekend I think it’s a fair question: Who is the best quarterback in college football? I heard someone make a good point today.  We’re not talking about pro potential — we’re just talking about who’s the best in right now.  I might have left your guy off the list, but you’re welcome to chime in if I missed your favorite. If I wanted to talk about who would be the best in the NFL we could close this conversation with Jake Locker right now.  Locker’s great, but his team isn’t going to wow…
