Poker and golf are two games that on the surface would appear to be completely random and unrelated. Numerous players of these two games might often disagree as it has been often seen that numerous golfers enjoy and thrive in poker and numerous poker players love the game of golf and are actually extremely great at it. The games of golf and poker have some obvious difference, as golf is a physical sport whereas poker is strictly a cerebral contest you will find a few similarities between the two well-liked pastimes that often overlap. Poker and golf are both contests in which the competitor is competing on their own and not as part of team, occasionally there are golf matches that are played in pairs but the sport is still very individualistic. The golfer and the poker player are both left...
After reading the biography of Andre Agassi, I felt compelled to share some thoughts on his situation. He was always a legend to me and it seemed he’d become this man at a very young age. However, he really hated the game of tennis with a passion and it’s shocking where his head was at during many major matches throughout his playing years. It’s incredible to see how he got to number one in the world, considering he didn’t even want to be out there! When Andre was just seven years old, his father began intense training, similar to how Andre’s dad trained for boxing. He was a professional boxer and was a member of the Iranian national boxing team and his mentality clearly showed of a boxer. There were no easy practices for Andre, physically or mentally, even at...
This is truly my favorite time of the sports year. Not because of the beginnings of NFL preseason. Not because of my fantasy football drafts. Not because of the MLB pennant race that’s heating up, and not because of the upcoming college sports season. It’s all because of a little known event, beloved in England. This is the FA Cup, a one of a kind tournament, the likes of which can’t be compared to anything that takes place in the US. This is a massive tournament that allows soccer teams of all sizes to compete equally against one another for a chance at glory. Just how big is this tournament? It’s huge. 762 unique football teams have a chance to compete against one another, in a single elimination format that spans 14 rounds. Can you think of any other tournament like...

The big question for NFL fans is what will happen next year? Will it come to the point where the NFL holds a lock out on their players? If this happens, what will the NFL players do? Well, Brandon Marshall of the Miami Dolphins has a plan. He’s shooting for the NBA if this does happen. The wide receiver for the Dolphins is an incredible athlete, but is he good enough to accomplish this goal? He’s confident and believes that the Denver Nuggets and/or Miami Heat will give him a shot. These are the two cities he’s lived or living in. Brandon Marshall played competitive basketball growing up and throughout high school. However, he’s now 26 years old and has been out of competitive basketball for quite some years. He’s still extremely confident that he would have no...
The 2008 season (4-12) for the Cincinnati Bengals was a nightmare without question. The team had very high expectations but were one of the laughing stocks in the NFL. Once Carson Palmer went down, we all knew it would be a rough year. Without Palmer, the team was anything but dangerous, and its offense virtually non-existent. The team struggled to score points, and simply couldn’t win games. Fans were giving up on them. Chad Johnson was practically invisible on offense, and TJ Houshmandzadeh was nowhere near his usual output level. Rudi Johnson was all but done, but luckily there was another RB who was able to prove himself once again. TJ Houshmandzadeh wasn’t playing like himself, and injury issues limited him too. If there’s anything good about last season, the last few...
The Atlanta Falcons are off to a good start to the 09′ season. Can they keep pace with the New Orleans Saints all season in the NFC South division? This will be a very tough task, but they do have some young rising stars that can help this situation. Matt Ryan had one of the best rookie QB seasons ever in 08′, completing 61% of his pass attempts, over 3,400 yards passing, 21 touchdown passes, only 12 interceptions, with a QB rating of almost 90 and starting all 16 games – many veteran QB’s will take that season any day. The Atlanta Falcons were the “darlings” of the NFL in 08′ with a record of 11-5, surprising most in their success a year after compiling a record of 4-12 in 07′. While the Falcons lost to the Arizona Cardinals in the Wild Card...
The Arizona Cardinals are not starting off the 09′ season as they ended the 08′ season. QB Kurt Warner doesn’t seem to be the same man who led the Cardinals to one of the greatest playoff pushes in recent memory. While the wide receivers for the Cardinals are still being productive – they are not close to where they were in 08′. The Arizona Cardinals are notorious for losing year after year and not spending money on the “big time” players. These last few years have proved to be different ironically. The front office for the Cardinals has loaded the team with Pro Bowl players and potential Pro Bowl players such as WR Larry Fitzgerald, WR Anquan Boldin, RB Tim Hightower, and WR Steve Breaston. WR Larry Fitzgerald might be the best WR in the NFL today...
