What drives TRUE football fans crazier than bandwagon fans? The only thing that I can think of would be a dropped TD pass in the end zone.

5 Reasons Why I’m Mad at LeBron
For the record, I am aware that the NBA is a business. I believe that players should feel free to make the decisions that are best for them and their families.

Play, and Prevent Chronic Disease?
Sports and exercise could help with the reduction and subsequent eradication of preventable chronic problems like obesity. If we would reverse our attitude about exercise and look at it as a life-saving, fun activity instead of a bothersome chore, we would keep our life expectancy numbers up, enjoy our modern conveniences, and still have the quality of life that we all want.
