Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) Who should the Jets hire as their new head coach?: 1 of 3
For better or worse, the New York Jets have taken the untried Rex Ryan as their new head coach, a former defensive coordinator at the Baltimore Ravens. I feel this is a mistake. The Jets had many veteran, proved starters on both lines this season, and at 8-3 they looked good things as far as making the playoffs went. However... More..
Sports & Recreation > Summer Olympics 2008 Olympics: Predicting the national teams that will win the most medals: 1 of 3
As far as the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, are concerned, the race to win the most medals per nation should be as tight as ever.

Jobs & Careers > Stress & Time Management Why it's important to develop a work-life balance: 24 of 69

It gives us motivation to get out of bed in the morning, makes us feel good about ourselves that we are achieving something with our life, an... More..
Sports & Recreation > Wrestling Why I enjoy professional wrestling: 7 of 20
Professional wrestling is a bit like the New York Yankees: you either love it with a passion, or you hate it immensely, there is no in-between. Obviously, writing in this section shows that I'm a devout fan, and have been since I was a young boy in the 1980s. I don't mind the soap opera aspect to professional wrestling, but ... More..

It was 10 years since my high school graduating class, and to be brutally honest, I wasn't really fussed about attending. The way I looked at it was: The people I actually think highly of from my...

Sports & Recreation > Summer Olympics 2008 Olympics: Prospects of new athlete doping scandals: 2 of 5
I can still remember as a child watching on television the blanket news coverage when the fastest man in the world, Canadian 100 meters Olympic Games gold medalist, had been caught taking steroids.
