College football kicked off on Thursday with a bunch of meaningless games and Utah beating Pitt.  Yep, I just covered the entire opening day of the season. Everyone was getting so jacked up to watch games that mean nothing and would be played pretty badly.  Even if it’s your team, it’s kind of hard to watch Miami beat someone 45-0. The real test of what college football is comes next week when we have some showdowns that actually have national title implications.  I don’t mean to be harsh, but there are a lot of college football teams and not very…

One of the toughest things in life to do is On E-Health MD, they gave some surprising stats in an article on what events (good or bad) in life can raise your stress level. The following situations are rated on the “Holmes-Raye” scale. The higher the number, the greater the stress: Death of a spouse – 100 points Divorce – 73 points Marriage – 50 points Pregnancy – 40 points Buying a house – 31 points Christmas – 12 points Everyone handles stressful events or situations differently, and some better than others.  For example, Throughout the day there may be…

Boosting your testosterone levels might be great for your present and future health, but having too much of a good thing in your system could get you kicked out of international athletic competition. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), recently in the news for its dogged pursuit of cyclists Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong for doping allegations during Tour de France competition, has named testosterone as a “banned substance on the Prohibited List of all illegal performance-enhancing substances.” WADA classified testosterone as “an anabolic androgenic steroid, an illegal steroid that is intended to produce or facilitate male growth and physical characteristics…

Most people know Milla Jovovich as a model and actress, but she’s also a workout fiend. She’s put on muscle to play Alice in the Resident Evil franchise and dropped her baby weight. Heather actually has a wonderful article on SteroidsLive.com about becoming, as Jovovich put it, a “crazy alien” to take off all the weight. So, we’ll leave that one to her! Milla Jovovich takes her training to another level because she enjoys martial arts. She also needs martial arts training to do the stunts required for action films. Because Milla is a model it would be far too…

Here’s the problem with the Rams and Sam Bradford — he’s the #1 overall pick. He plays quarterback. He’s good and their only other option is AJ Feeley. If you don’t remember Feeley, he carried the Eagles many moons ago when Donovan McNabb was hurt for the majority of a season. Feeley is a good player, but he’s not the first pick.  He has no value attached to him. Bradford and Feeley are “competing” for the starting job, but head coach Steve Spagnoulo isn’t giving any indication as to what he’ll do. If you’re a Rams fan this does not…

This week, Sluggers and Slugs will “suicide squeeze” My The Red Sox and White Sox have a big weekend series with Ramirez returning to Boston for the second time this season.  In the early part of the week the Red Sox draw the Baltimore Orioles and the White Sox play Cleveland.  Both teams should win their first series of the week making the weekend series winner the team still alive in their respective division races. The Yankees and Rays both have a home series against the Toronto Blue Jays this week.  This gives the Jays a chance to play spoiler…

One of the most common physical complaints is back pain. Almost everyone will experience some sort of back pain at one time or another, and it can range from a dull ache to outright agony. When you don’t want to resort to drugs, you’ve got to do something to assuage the symptoms. Whether the cause is a new muscle strain or an old football injury, there are treatments that don’t require dulling your nerves or undergoing major surgery. Causes of Back Pain The back is a complex system of bones, nerves, and muscles. Everything centers around the stack of 30…

Brett Favre and Matt Leinart: these are the two guys who have brought about the most indecision this preseason.  Nothing is more infuriating than watching an NFL coach, who is a grown man, get owned by quarterback. Brett Favre must have Brad Childress’ balls in a jar somewhere because Childress has done everything but give Favre a pedicure.  By the way, Favre sucked against the Seahawks.  He threw a “pick six,” another interception, and lost a fumble. Not only did he manipulate his coach into not moving on, but he sucked mightily.  I know we can’t make much of the…

With the NFL owners’ meeting concluding in Atlanta the topic of an 18-game schedule has reared its ugly head again.  The owners are in favor, but “Commissioner Kick-Ass,” Roger Goodell, wants player input. I know the players want to get paid, and I know that they want to shorten the preseason.  This is a win-win for everybody if the players and owners will stop bickering. Besides the fact that the teams are making a killing on preseason games I see no reason to keep having four of them. And now I hear the detractors calling for my head because I…

You just finished the tenth rep of five military press sets, packing on an extra twenty pounds to test your muscle strength, when you hear a slight popping sound, and instant twinge of pain. Must be my rotator, you worry, rubbing your aching shoulder joint. Or maybe you are a fitness freak. Lunges, sit-ups, push-ups, belly busters, you name it, you do it. One day, you wake-up with a pain at the base of your back and you know something just isn’t right. Did I blow out my L5, you ask yourself. You worry how long you will be on…
