Sports & Recreation > Golf The best way to read a golf green: 1 of 6
Reading greens begins well before you actually get to the green. You need to take notice of the surrounding terrain. If you are playing on a mountain course, for example, the greens will all break away from the mountain top. If a green is near a body of water, it will almost always break towards that body of water.

Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Predictions: 2007 Denver Broncos: 1 of 6
The Denver Broncos of 2007 will go as far as the arm of Jay Cutler will take them. If arm strength were any indicator of success, I would say the Broncos are going to win the Super Bowl. Cutler has a true cannon for an arm. He makes throws across his body, off his back foot and off balance in the same way Brett Favre has don... More..

Since I was a little boy, I have been somewhat obsessed with exercise.

Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Should Barry Bonds be allowed into the Hall of Fame?: 11 of 56
Barry Bonds is one of the most famous baseball players to ever play the game, so he should be in the Hall of Fame. Putting him in the hall of fame does not say that taking steroids is acceptable.

Sports & Recreation > NBA The Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers rivalry: 2 of 10
How strong is the Celtics/Lakers rivalry? They haven't played each other in the finals since 1987 and still we are calling it a rivalry. That is stronger than most sibling rivalries, romantic rivalries, or wartime rivalries ever last. Is this rivalry for real, or just a construct of the media to sell tickets and increase tel... More..
Sports & Recreation > Golf A guide to the "lobster" lob shot: 1 of 5
A standard 56 degree sand wedge can be used to make an effective lob shot, but a 60 degree lob wedge makes the shot much easier. Hitting a lob shot with anything that has less than 56 degrees of loft can be done, but probably should never be attempted with any serious intentions. The basics of the lob shot are as follows (re... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball Predictions: 2008 Seattle Mariners: 1 of 5
Seattle needs a spark. They have talent. They have youth. They don't have the look of a winning team. The young player that the Mariners organization is really high on is Adam Jones who looks to finally be a full-time right fielder for the Mariners this season. Maybe he will be the spark that can push the Mariners to the top... More..

The quarterback position is the single most recognizable position in all of American sports, let alone the NFL. So, what better way to change the face of a team than to change its quarterback? The Detroit Lions are coming off a season in which they did not win one single game. They have made themselves famous in recent years... More..
Sports & Recreation > Golf Why are golfers confused after taking golf lessons: 1 of 5
Golf can be a complicated game, especially for a new golfer. Taking lessons is a great idea for golfers of any level, because no matter how hard we try, we can't see ourselves swing the club. We need somebody else there to watch us, and the smart thing to do is to hire a trained professional to do the watching. If you find y... More..

The NCAA Basketball Final Four play tonight. Whenever a sporting event is narrowed down to its final championship contenders, the determining factor in who wins the championship is often luck.
