Hey sports fans! How many of you watch your sports online nowadays? It sure is convenient and a awesome option in case you can’t TiVo the game. For those of you that do not know what NCAA stands for, chances are this post is NOT for you! The National Collegiate Athletic Association has some great [...]

As I’m watching television, eating chips and writing, I notice that the new season of The Biggest Loser has just started. I empathize with the contestants. At one time, I was seventy pounds overweight. I slowly lost twenty pounds over three years. Then, three years ago, spurred on by the show, I got serious. In [...]

There are some lesser baseball games, and then there are some truly great ones. The ones where you get taken along with the gameplay and forget about the world around you. Hit that curve with all you’ve got and show that pitcher what you’re made of. Hit it out of the park, and sprint your [...]

And then there’s the rest of us. The ones who know the feeling of landing a perfect shot, adrenaline running through [...]

Usually, I’m very competitive. A bad loser, in other words. However, golf is the sport I’m worst at but am still able to enjoy it greatly. It’s a ton of fun. Just standing in front of the TV and swinging your butt with the WiiMote in hand, like the real professionals do. Of course, like [...]

A little while back I wrote about how I’m trying to change shape from something like a sphere to more of an upside-down triangle. I’ve got my tunes all adjusted for the pace, now I just need my walking routes. It’s been three years since I’ve done any jogging or walking for exercise, so I’d [...]

Some think that sports games are one of the most peculiar branches of the game industry. Why would one play sports on an entertainment system? It doesn’t allow you to work out, and certainly doesn’t keep you fit. However, these people forget the real reason of sports – not keeping fit, but having fun. Sports [...]
