Four of the top 25 AP poll teams in the fifth week of college football have something to prove to justify their national ranking. Missouri ranks fourth in the current AP Top 25 poll, Texas Tech seventh, South Florida 10th and Kansas 16th. These four ranked teams need to play better competition and win.

Analogies of Dating Relationships in Ballroom and Latin Dancing

Starting, maintaining, and growing a relationship is a lot like ballroom dancing or Latin dancing. Have you ever seen a couple dancing on the floor moving through complex motions with such effortless grace that it seems some magical spell has been cast causing the two beings to share perfect consciousness? I was puzzled by this phenomenon and was forced to […]

How many times can the Dodgers play the 2008 season?

We know that baseball players and their managers are superstitious. Even in Little League, if our team was on a winning streak, some teammate would yell after the last win, “Whatever you do, don’t wash your socks!” Until we lost. But we were forbidden to even think of such a possibility. You wouldn’t want to curse things or tempt the […]

Earn money by betting on sports

We’ve all heard of the guy who bet on the underdog team in the Superbowl and walked away with thousands of dollars, or the friend of a friend who knows a guy who can hook you up with a Filipino cockfight next weekend.

Quick, Low-Salt Chicken Tortilla Soup

Although my ancestry is British and German, I love tortilla soup. Unfortunately, I can’t order it in a restaurant because it contains too much salt.

The Harlem Globetrotters: Unsung Heroes of Professional Basketball

When you look at the history of professional basketball, the Harlem Globetrotters always get a polite mention, but they rarely get the praise they deserve. This team is arguably responsible for both the popularization of professional basketball and the acceptance of black players in professional basketball. That sounds like an outlandish claim, but a look at the team’s history backs […]

Getting kids to want to play offensive line in youth soccer

This past weekend we had the pleasure of speaking at the Baltimore Glass Clinic. Not only were there at least 20 youth soccer coaches there running my system, but I was also able to attend some great presentations. There were even two brave souls from North Carolina who had driven about 6 hours to get there. No wonder this gusy […]
