Sports - 2005 Afc North Football Preview
OVERVIEW: AFC North
In the AFC North I expect to see the Pittsburgh Steelers who posted a mark of 16-2 straight up and 11-7 ATS overall last season to win a close divisional battle over the Baltimore Ravens who finished up their 2004 campaign with a 9-7 straight up and ATS mark and over a much improved Cincinnati Bengal team that finished with an 8-8 straight up record for the second straight year in 2004, the Brownies once again look to pull up the rear in what should prove to be the toughest division in the NFL in 2005.
Pittsburgh has a tough row to hoe this season, the Steelers only have five games on the 2005 docket against 2004 playoff teams but four of those affairs take place on the road and that includes Monday Ni... |

Sports - 2005 Afc West Football Preview
OVERVIEW: AFC West
The 12-5 straight up win San Diego Chargers were the surprise team of the NFL in 2004 when considering that they had posted a shoddy record of 4-12 straight up and 6-10 ATS in 2003, if you had hitched your wagon onto these Chargers all season long in 2004 you were indeed a happy camper as the Bolts tallied a 13-2-2 ATS mark when it was all said and done.
If not for a missed FG on a muddy rain soaked field against the Jets in these Chargers opening playoff game last year, there is no telling how far the momentum of these Bolts may have carried them when considering the Jets lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the very same manner the following week.
However, in the big picture San Diego faced five playoff bound teams during the 2004 re... |

Sports - Choosing A Horse
Choosing a horse will be one of the most important decisions you ever make so for the sake of both you and the horse - take your time.
At 50 I was a bit older than the average first time horse owner, so should have got it right. I fell in love with a pretty little horse that I had ridden on a riding holiday when he was in his own environment and I was relaxed and had all the time in the world.
9 months later, after a lot of heartache I admitted that he was the wrong horse for my lifestyle and experience and fortunately he was able to go back to his original owner. Pretty traumatic for me, but less so for him as he was going back to where he was happy.
Our livery yard owner helped me decide what type of horse I was looking for by considering the following:

Sports - Cleveland Indians: 2005 Title Contenders Or Pretenders?
By Proloy Bhattacharyya

September 10, 2005
I lived in Cleveland for two summers not too long ago. My second year there was when they had their fire sale. Jim Thome was one of the last to go. Their argument to him was that it would take a long time before they start to contend again so that it was best to part ways.
Well, the Indians are contending in a hurry and are atop the Wild Card by 1.5 games. There is no question in my mind that these Indians are title contenders. With the questionable starting pitching of the Boston Red Sox, inconsistent hitt... |

Sports - Don't Let High Ticket Prices Keep You From Seeing The "big" Game
Don't Let High Ticket Prices Keep You From Seeing The "Big" Games
By Jeff Howard
Have you ever dreamed about seeing a big sports event like the
Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, or Daytona 500 in person? If so,
what kept you from realizing your dream?
Before you answer that one, let me demonstrate how the typical
fan tries to buy tickets. I'll use the Indianapolis 500 as an
example. As I write this the "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is
a few weeks away.
Since many fans don't start thinking about tickets until weeks,
or months, before the event, it's very possible some are
just now deciding they want to see this race.

Golf and fishing could not be more different but they both have something in common and that being is, how they give enjoyment and pleasure to all who participate in the sport.

May I suggest if you do not play golf and think the sport is not for you then think again? The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
If it is the Rupert bear yellow checked pants, red jumper and blue cap that deters you from venturing onto the green then do not let this put you off. This is a familiar trade mark of most players who are comfortable with the Disney look. You wear what you are comfortable with.

Sports - Golf Stretching Secrets To Improve Performance
The trend in larger and therefore heavier club heads in recent years has made golf stretching secrets even more important to acquire.
To make matters worse for golfers not interested in embracing golf stretching secrets, golf is a game unlike other sports where continuous playing improves fitness and endurance. This is because the golf swing lasts only a second.
It is instructive that many golfers are yet to appreciate this rather important fact. This is the reason who they have found it very difficult to see any improvement in their game. Still it is common to see golfers practice hitting the ball for hours on the course. The writing should really be on the wall by now. And that is it is unlikely to improve any golfer’s game if their body is not golf fit.
