There is one golf tip that is used by most professional players and very few ordinary amateurs. It makes a real difference to your game. One of the key differences between professionals and ordinary amateurs is that when the professional decides to take a golf tip on board he really works at it. I mean to say that he gives it a lot of thaught and he stays with it for enough time to give it a chance to work. The ordinary amateur on the other hand will hear a golf tip, give it a try and...
R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero, you were one of the greats.... -mx-
The Evening Standard in London is reporting that Muhammed Ali is dying and only has months to live. For the last 20 years, Ali has been suffering from Parkinson's disease. And as a friend said: "The guy has always been a battler and he's been fighting Parkinson's as best he can for years. But this is one match he is going to lose no matter how many rounds he goes." I remember Cascius Clay. I did not really understand boxing at that time, but when he beat Sonny Liston, tha...
As a diehard Seattle Mariners fan, I'm drooling. The Chicago White Sox have bought out Frank Thomas' contract for 2006, meaning the slugger is eligible for free agency. Although Thomas has been plagued by injuries, he still remains a slugger that pitchers are inclined to fear when he steps to the plate. He has a lethal bat that can reach the cheap seats in any ballpark on any given at bat. His biggest liability is being prone to injury. But injuries don't often affect designated hitters...
India sealed of the 7 match one day series with the 4th win in a row against Srilanka. Thanks to Dhoni for continuing his Killer streak and ended up the match with an unbeaten 43. His partnership with Suresh Raina in the end really made the difference as the held their nerves and steared India to a comfortable victory. SriLankan captain won the toss and elected to Bat, but it was Ajith Agarkar who sung the song early bagging 5 wkts, Harbhajan had a good day as well with a neat spell of...
Now that I'm starting my run cycle again, I've been looking around for a short race to do. Well, I found one. There's a five mile "turkey trot" sponsered by Austin's Thundercloud Subs. What I'm wondering, is out of all you bloggers (many of which live in texas), is there anyone that wants to go run with me? It's on the 24th, (thanksgiving, no less), but wouldn't ya rather know that you're losing weight instead of gaining it over the holidays? I know it's nuts, but I'm game if you are. (...
Is Dhoni the next Gilchrist The powerhouse of the Indian cricket team the Wicket Keeper Batsman smashed Lankan bowlers all round the park as he scored 183 of 145 ball which had 15 fours and 10 sixers to race past the Sri Lankan score of 298. On the way he washed away some of the records, he now holds the highest score by a wicket keeper in the world for a single innings going past Gilchrist’s 172. Highest no. of sixes in a match by a wicket keeper 10. He narrowly missed some of uni...
Oh thank all things wise and mighty, the Broncos have learned to score in the fourth quarter.
Indian Cricket team is coming back as a team now. They thrashed Sri lanka in both the one-dayers they played so far, In both the games they excelled in both the departments Batting & Bowling, the first one dayers was specially a hallmark for batting and the second one for bowling. With Rahul Dravid settling down as a nice captain, Indian cricket fans can cherish some moments in cricket following years. His batting has improved tremendously and 80+ runs in more than run a ball in the first ...
A rare SmackDown appearance by “Rowdy” Roddy Piper ended in storybook fashion on Friday night at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The unlikely trio of Batista, Eddie Guerrero and “The Rowdy One” defeated the Ortons and Mr. Kennedy when Cowboy Bob fell victim to Piper’s sleeper hold. Early on in the huge six-man tag team match, it looked as if another legend might be “killed” at the hands of Randy Orton & Co. Rowdy Piper was beaten and battered, and old ally Cowboy Bob Orton successfull...
Ralph Sampson, the most celebrated college recruit since Kareem Abdul Jabbar (when he was Lew Alcindor), went to UVA. I remember those years! We thought finally! UVA was going to Beat UNC and win a National Championship! But UNC had something better. Dean Smith! One of the greatest coaches of all times! So Ralph did his 4 and then went pro and was a big bust! He was not bad, but people expected him to be a franchise player and Like Bill Walton, he was a ...
The New Orleans Saints got their name from the Dixieland Song 'When the Saints go Marching in'. As New Orleans is renown for its Jazz and Dixieland music, it had a nice ring to it (the former Basketball team was the New Orleans Jazz - get the pattern?). So no one really complained or yelled about it being derogatory to Saints who no longer could defend themselves or speak up for themselves in the press. Since by Definition, you have to be dead to be a saint. Now the NFL is talking...
I should have written this on Sunday, but I was paralyzed from the neck down. On Sunday I got up at 5 am, got ready, and Paul and I drove down to downtown Detroit . I got there just about in time to line up for the race. I use the term “race” in its loosest sense as I had no intention of winning or even racing anyone anywhere. Thank goodness I was only running the ½ marathon. Apparently there were over 10,000 of us lined up along the street. When the sta...
Does anyone else hate the Monday night Football intro with its song and dance exalting the altar of GMC? You see part or all of about 80 GM vehicles, including the logo itself 8 times. This beautiful, sacred game is being whored out with every square inch of field, ball, and every split-second of airtime. Half-time is not brought to me by Snickers, Subway, Nissan, Lexus, or Autotrader.com, just like the weather isn't brought to me by Smuckers (you hear that, Today show?!). I love this game; I...
I know I'm a bit late on this one, since the first game is now "in the books" with a White Sox victory, but as you read, you'll see quickly that as long as this article comes fairly early in the series, it's still pertinent. Normally, if my team isn't in the championships (whatever sport and whatever championship series that may be), I don't really care, and don't pay much, if any attention to what happens. In baseball, I have the luxury of having "two teams", though I have to hold my nos...
