What do we know about Brett Favre? He’s one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, has played in almost every game, loves to gamble with the football, and most notably, he can’t seem to make up his mind. We also know that the “Brett Favre Saga” happens every year because there is nothing else to talk about. The LeBron James “Decision” has given us a little more gossip than usual this NFL off-season, but not enough to fend off the off-season, gray-haired monster that is Favre. On both sides of the fence there are so many things that we can…

College football is a mere 30 days away and it’s time we started talking about who’s moving, who’s shaking, and who’s catching “the boot.” College football could easily turn into a “two-team nation” or we might have a dogfight on our hands before the Big 10 officially becomes the Big 12. Personally, I think it’s going to be a little of both. Besides the obvious “conference expansion talk” there are really good players and teams who have a shot. Well, they would have a shot if their whole season wasn’t blown up by a poll. Between the polls, the scandals,…

Stress. It’s inevitable. Our lives are filled with demands, both internal and external, which impose stress on your system. If we’ve been well trained by our culture, we reach for salt, sugar, and fat when we’re stressed. Everyone knows that it’s not wise to fill up on chips, ice cream, and doughnuts when things seem to be going south, but do you know what options will actually help your mind and body relax and perform better? Check out my recommendations for defusing the stress bomb and getting back to your life! There are several methods of reducing stress, such as…

All reports are pointing to one thing–Brett Favre will retire for a third time. This time he will retire from the Minnesota Vikings after stringing them along all offseason. Adam Schefter has reported that someone close to the situation said Favre has informed the Vikings that he’s done. This is after Minnesota sent Brad Childress down to Mississippi this summer to check on Favre. Favre will leave the game with the record for consecutive games played, TDs, passing yards, and a Super Bowl ring. Plus, he’s leaving his teammates with text messages that say, “This is it”. It appears the…

A young man who recently wore a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey to a Cleveland Indians game was escorted out of the stadium for his own safety. This got me thinking about how this Miami Heat-wave better work out this season for the Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who also coached the Heat big 3 in the 2008 Summer Olympics, said having all of that talent (James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh) is a problem he would love to have. Coach K also said in an interview on “PTI, (Pardon The Interruption)” that the thing that stood out…

The trade deadline came to a close this past weekend and things were moving faster than Shakira’s famous hips. The importance of the has proven its value in recent years. Due to the deadline, the consistent choking in Alex Rodriguez’s chase for his 600th home run was put on the back burner. C.C. Sabathia pitched the Milwaukee Brewers into the playoffs in 2008. That same year, the Boston Red Sox traded away Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers where he put together one of the best 50 game stretches ever and propelled the Dodgers to the NLCS (National League…

Swiss balls, also referred to as stability balls are one of today’s top fitness tools. This one, inexpensive piece of equipment can improve the strength of your abs, the lower back, butt, thighs, and more. Using the stability ball creates an unstable surface, forcing you to engage your core throughout every exercise in order to maintain your balance. The constant shifts to maintain your form and position result in improved balance, coordination, and flexibility. The stability ball can be used alone, with free weights, or in combination with a medicine ball. Where Did It Come From? The Swiss ball was…

Sam Bradford just signed a $78 million contract with the Rams before he even threw a pass in training camp. $50 million of it is guaranteed. His “people” got the negotiations done in the middle of the night so he could show up to practice. Tom Brady is “unhappy” with the progress on his new deal. I’ve heard him say–and I’m paraphrasing–that he will “hopefully make the team” and he “will do his best,” but let’s face facts. These preening/posturing QBs don’t want to try too hard until all the money is in their pockets. If Tom Brady was really…

In an athletic era that will certainly be remembered for its numerous doping and steroid scandals, the very word “supplement” has come into disrepute.  Mention a legitimate protein supplement like creatine alongside elite strength training endeavors like bodybuilding or weight-lifting and the eyebrows of the public begin to arch. The central issue behind the stereotype is the lack of definitive research into the long-term physiological impact of creatine. Though it has been almost 100 years since Harvard researchers first identified creatine as a muscle-building supplement, it is only in the last two decades that its use has come under any…

I know that Terrell Owens is all drama. I know that he’s a “crybaby.” Hell, we’ve even used his “crying picture” here at When T.O. broke his leg prior to the 2004 Super Bowl he had to find a new way to stay in shape. If you recall, he had to drag himself back in time for the big game. Many people questioned if he would be ready to play. Even though he wasn’t 100% he was able to play in the game, and we all marveled at his toughness. Well, part of that recovery was due to resistance bands.…
