    Cheerleading as a Sport

    I think some people consider cheerleading cheesy or silly because some schools don't treat it as the true sport that it is. I will say though I have seen some cheer leaders that have superb athleticism that other male athletes of the sports that they cheer for couldn't even come close to...

    L.A., S. Florida, Atlanta awarded Super Bowls

    I realize that warmer cities are better destinations and better playing conditions in Jan/Feb, but I feel like colder cities are often cheated out of hosting Super Bowls. I think it is really unfair, especially considering the revenue that comes to a city for hosting. The only Super Bowl I...

    Any UFC fans?

    Conor McGregor is a beast! There are plenty of fighters in the league I like. I like "Bones" Jones, Machida, and the California Kid a lot, but there are so many great up and coming fighters that my favorites change often. It really is a great sport. If you have never seen it live, you really...

    My personal hockey story

    I have an interesting minor hockey league story. My first boyfriend as an adult was horrible to me. Abusive, mean, and downright nasty. However, he loved hockey and did get me into the sport. He took me to Cleveland to watch a minor league hockey game of the Cleveland Lumberjacks. The team...

    Stanton hits 462ft Home run!

    The man is a great player, but as someone else mentioned, if he doesn't stay healthy, he's not going to be worth the money they are paying him. I will say that homer the other day was outstanding. Some ballparks are built in a way that I think that homers look way more dramatic than others...

    Best Player Never to Win a Ring

    I agree that Barkley was GOOD, but great, probably not. He made a lot of noise though and was intimidating and I think that's why he got noticed more. I will say that I think he's a fabulous announcer though. He's a much better commentator than a player, in my opinion.

    Ever Attended a Super Bowl?

    Has anyone ever been to a Super Bowl?  I was lucky enough to attend Super Bowl XL in 2006, courtesy of a long time friend that received free tickets.  I hadn't seen her in years and she called me and asked, "Do you think you can make it to Detroit by Sunday?"  I was completely shocked and...

    The key player

    Well, as the saying goes, "there's no 'I' in team." All positions are important and can be equally important at any given moment. However, if I had to give an answer, I would say guards are most vital to the game because they are usually the ones to set up a play, especially in slower "east...

    Best players of the decade so far?

    I'm a Pens fan, so obviously I love Crosby, too. He's such a well-rounded player. He's always able to come up with those clutch plays when it is down to the wire. I also hear that he's a great guy. I know he does quite a bit of charity work in and around the Pittsburgh area.

    Maple Leafs new team

    One good thing about rebuilding a team from scratch, especially with all young players like they are, is that it really gives the team a chance to develop good chemistry together and get used to playing with each other as a team. While it is great to have one or two superstars on a team, hockey...

    Thunder win the first game

    Did anyone watch game 2? Curry definitely stepped his game up. I really think this is going to be a fantastic series overall. Does anyone have any thoughts about who's going to win this series? Or perhaps even who is going to win it all?

    Ever run a Marathon?

    I am not really much of a runner, so I have not run a marathon. However, I know several people who have. I will say that when I jogged I was in the best shape of my life. I doubt I could really train for anything as long as a marathon though. We do have a lot of 5K runs around here for...

    Cheerleading as a Sport

    Competitive cheerleading is a sport. I have never been a cheerleader, but I have had people in my family that have cheered competitively. I thought it was hilarious when someone said they don't consider cheerleading a sport because the impact isn't as high as other sports. Those girls (and...

    Warriors top Spurs, match '96 Bulls with 72 wins

    I completely agree.  They aren't better than the Bulls team and would never beat them if they would've been in the same era.  The definitely aren't as physical, like you had mentioned.  I was really disappointed by Curry's performance in his first game against the Thunder.  Granted, everyone has...

    Best Player Never to Win a Ring

    Historically, in the NBA, there are many great players that have gone their whole careers without ever winning a ring.  Who is the player that never got a ring that you thought deserved it the most?   Personally, I loved the early and mid-90's Knicks.  I really thought that Patrick Ewing and...
