Tonight, the NBA will hold their annual all-star game which is actually more of a glorified street ball game than an actual contest. I am not even sure defense is allowed to be played or else a player will be given a technical foul! And the same holds true of other all-star games. The NFL […]
Every year at this time, people talk about what they are going to give up for Lent. Perhaps, it is a certain food item or maybe a particular luxury like watching television or heavens forbid, logging onto Facebook. I know that would be very difficult for many folks including myself.

Super Bowl Sunday has always been one of my favorite sports days of the year. Not only is it the championship game of the most popular sport in the land, it also has many so many little side events that keep everyone entertained.
