The NFL season is peeking at us from around the corner, and there are some teams that should be great. The Titans, the Jets, and the Vikings should all have fantastic seasons. However, each of these teams houses a monumentally stupid player who is not cognizant of team chemistry. Given that Albert Haynesworth let down the Redskins you would think that these guys would be more sensitive to holdouts and selfish moves. This is usually when everyone starts screaming at their computer because NFL players have a “right” to hold out. They have a “right” to get all the money…

We are all familiar with the antics of Terrell Owens – Most notably the pomp-pomp’s, the Sharpie, sit-ups in the driveway, and the sideline tirade with Donovan McNabb. Owens’ career has been almost as flamboyant as Richard Simmons, the major reason he has yet to land with any teams. Last week Owens said that ESPN is responsible for painting an image of him which is undesirable for organizations in the NFL. Earlier during this week on a Boston radio interview Owens said he would like to play for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Owens even said he would…

George Steinbrenner, perhaps the most successful professional sports team owner of all time, died Tuesday at a hospital in Tampa, Florida. The official cause of death was a heart attack, but Steinbrenner’s health had been failing for the last few years. The outspoken owner of the New York Yankees had just celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4th. His career included 11 American league pennants and World Series titles in 1977-78, 1996, 1998-2000 and 2009. Steinbrenner rebuilt the Yankees from the ground up during his 37 year tenure as their owner. He purchased the lackluster team that hadn’t won a championship…

No more “moderation” in weight loss—aiming to lose one pound per week. No more giving yourself a long-term goal of 50 pounds in a year. A new study from Stockholm’s International Congress on Obesity says that those who lose three pounds per week are more apt to stick with weight loss and reach their goals. I love Sweden. They have great meatballs. They gave us Ikea, for heaven’s sake. My daughters look adorable in those Hanna Andersson dresses. Really, what’s not to love? Now, those same practical, forward-thinking Swedes are telling us to take the weight loss bull by the…

Football season is around the corner and it’s time to get “in the mood” for the pigskin.  Though most folks around here want to get big, we can’t ignore the fun alternatives to cardio. I know that getting into “football shape” is far different than bodybuilding, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take our favorite sport and make it into a workout.  Some of these exercises may already be in your repertoire, but they’re worth a look. If you want to take some of these exercises and modify them to your tastes or needs–go ahead!  We want you to…

Last week we opened our series on the importance of seeds with chia. Today I wanted to introduce you to my runner-up in the favorites department, hemp seed! Hemp is an amazing plant, good for making rope, jewelry and even diapers. However, this wonder plant isn’t used only for its fibers and mind-altering effects. The seeds, or hearts, are fantastic! Let’s look at the benefits of adding hemp to your diet. The 411 on THC Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the compound responsible for the state of altered perception most people have when they ingest marijuana. You’ll be glad to know that…

George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees, died this morning of a heart attack at the age of 80. He was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, Florida and passed away at 6:30 am. Whether you loved him or hated him (and there were plenty of people on both sides), everyone knew that Steinbrenner was in charge. He managed the team with an iron fist for nearly four decades. Spending lavish amounts on payroll and never being afraid to make a tough decision, the team flourished under his reign. “The Boss” brought seven Wold Series titles to the…

To start this article off I feel it is relevant to borrow a phrase from the MTV generation’s Salt-n-Pepa, “Let’s talk about sex”.  More importantly, let’s talk about how to increase your or your partner’s sex drive by the consumption of various foods. I could use the word libido as opposed to sex drive, but libido sounds like a word my grandparents would use.  I think it’s safe to say that none of us want to think about our grandparents when discussing sex. I often hear the complaint from men talking that after being with a woman for a while…

This LeBron James “Decision” is going to start a negative trend in the NBA. Today reports surfaced that at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding to La La Vazquez this past weekend, that the idea of another Big 3 may be in the works. According to the New York Post, Chris Paul made the toast sure to be heard around the NBA: “We’ll Form our own Big 3.” Paul was referring to himself joining forces with Melo, and the Knicks’ recently signed big free agent Amare Stoudemire. The Miami Heat experiment dubbed, “Miami Thrice,” that will take place in the NBA 2010-2011 season…

The first half of the Major League Baseball season came to a close with a with blockbuster move as we head in the All-Star break. Cliff Lee went to the first place Texas Rangers. I think that I can safely say, with the exception the New York Yankee fans, we are all happy that he didn’t go to New York. Even though the Colorado Rockies are missing their stud shortstop, Troy Tulowitzki, they have crept within 1.5 games of the San Diego Padres in the NL West. Just as I predicted two weeks ago in a “Sluggers and Slugs” article, the…
