This week I will give my two cents on which players to start in fantasy football on Sunday.  I’ll also give some quick thoughts on the first game of the season; three bets that should yield winnings; and finally, my picks for week 1 of the NFL season. Saints vs. Vikings Recap If you aren’t a fan of either team then Thursday night’s rematch of the NFC Championship must have been a bore. This was a defensive battle in all but three drives of the game. It was an all around fantasy letdown, unless you have Pierre Thomas as your…

ESPN is reporting trade discussions between the Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls involving Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony and Bulls forward/center Joakim Noah. This comes one day after Yahoo Sports released a report that Anthony requested a trade to either the New York Knicks or the Bulls. The Bulls would like to move forward Luol Deng in the trade, but the Nuggets are hesitant to pull the trigger due to Deng’s long term contract. A report coming from the Denver Post says, the Nuggets won’t make any decisions until GM Masai Ujiri has a one-on-one meeting with their All-Star forward. Rumors…

The 2010 NFL season kicked-off Thursday with the Minnesota Vikings against the New Orleans Saints in a rematch of the NFC Championship game from a year ago. There is no question that football is the most popular sport in America – the 2010 Harris Poll had 35% of sports fans saying it was their favorite sport, more than double the amount over baseball fans at 16%. Those numbers leave me perplexed as to why the NFL and NFLPA are forecasting a lockout for the 2011 NFL season.  Why risk a loss to any of the popularity that football has gained?…

You wake-up in the morning, swing your feet off the bed, take your first steps, and, “wham!” the pain stabs across the bottom of your foot. “What was that?” you wonder, and you are not alone. Though figures are difficult to come by, some 360,000 Google searches a month in 2009 demonstrates that Plantar fasciitis is becoming a serious and growing problem. Plantar what? Plantar fasciitis, as defined by the Mayo Clinic, “is one of the most common causes of heel pain.” The condition involves “pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs…

Early Thursday morning New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was involved in a two-car accident. It was believed that Brady may be being transferred to a local hospital, but a witness saw him and his passenger walking around refusing medical attention. A woman at the scene of the accident said, “It looked like a high impact crash.” Another woman said, “It was extremely loud. At 6:30 this morning it woke people up out of a dead sleep.” According to Channel 7 in Boston, Brady will be examined by the Patriots medical staff. His season starts Sunday at Foxboro against the…

The NCAA has ruled that University of Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green is ineligible for the next three games for selling his game jersey. The team held Green out of the 55-7 opening week win over Louisiana-Lafayette hoping the NCAA would rule on the situation by Wednesday. A source close to the NCAA investigation on Green told ESPN.com that Green did not sell the jersey on eBay and received less than $1,000 for it. Green is also part of an NCAA investigation involving inappropriate contact with an agent. He has denied attending the agent-sponsored party in Miami and says he…

Last season I was about 100 games over .500, so I’m feeling pretty good about picks this year. I won’t bore you with breaking down every single game, though.  Some speak for themselves, and even very complex games tend to be simple to read. If things get intense you’ll notice multiple paragraphs on just one game.  If that’s the case you need to watch the game or have your fan card revoked.  Actually, it would be smart to read this while you’re watching.  I might prove to be prophetic! Beyond the picks, we have a rematch of last year’s epic…

I often get described as “crunchy,” and it’s probably due to the fact that if it’s natural, and especially if it’s natural and cheap, it’s for me. I can’t think of many things better in the natural and cheap category than baking soda! From bee stings to blemishes, from cleaning veggies to cleaning the colon, baking soda is cheap, easy to come by, and good for the planet as well as our bodies. While there are hundreds of practical and wonderful uses, today we’ll focus on the ways that baking soda is fantastic for the body both inside and out!…

By the standards Tiger Woods has set, it has been a down year.  Many people wondered whether or not Ryder Cup captain, Corey Pavin would make Woods a captain’s pick. Early Tuesday morning Pavin announced that Woods would play on the 2010 Ryder Cup team. This is the sixth Ryder Cup team in which Woods will play for, but this is the first time that Woods needed a Captain’s pick to make the team. People in the golf world have often thought Woods has had mixed emotions or actions towards the Ryder Cup. He had this to say about playing…
