In Monday's NBA, the 76ers went over 15 minutes without a FG
(0-for-19) in the second half and lost to Houston, 87-81. The
Rockets are now 13-6 when both Ming and McGrady are in the
lineup and could make a late-season run at the playoffs. New
Jersey won its 11th straight home game (8-3 ATS) by beating the
Hornets 99-91 and the Bobcats made it two straight wins
(following 13 straight losses!), in a 119-106 win over the
Sonics. Golden State beat Denver 122-114, giving the Warriors
their sixth straight pointspread win and handing the Nuggets
their eighth straight ATS loss!

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Pebble Beach Golf Links,
Pebble Beach, California
J.B. Holmes shocked the golfing world with a runaway win at the
FBR Open last week. He came in ranked 464th in the world but his
second top ten of the season will certainly draw some attention
his way. On the 18th last Sunday, he bombed a 354-yard drive to
the delight of the spectators and if anyone saw him after that
shot, they saw a young man shaking like a first time winner
should be.
It's on to California this week and the AT&T Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am where Phil Mickelson will try to defend a title
for a second straight week. Big hitters have fared well in this
event in recent years and this yea (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Portrait of the "Say Hey Kid..." |

"There's a long drive way back in center field . . . way
back, back! It is . . . oh, what a catch by Mays! The runner on
second, Doby, is able to go to third. Willie Mays . . . just
brought this crowd to its feet . . . with a catch . . . which
must have been an optical illusion to a lot of people. Boy!" -
Jack Brickhouse, NBC-TV In Game One of the 1954 World
Series, 450 feet from home plate Willie Mays turned his back on
the infield and ran towards the wall. Over his shoulder, he made
"The Catch," immediately turned and whipped the ball back to the
infield, loosing his hat in the process. Four game sweep. Giants
win.
The "Say Hey Kid" did it all. With a career batting average of

| Article Title :: Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing |
| |
|
Believe it or not, when one performs a golf back swing, it is
not just your arms. It is also more about the golfer's back as
it turns away from the target. The club is more so as being put
behind the golfer's back than it is swung up towards the air.
The move backswing
If you look at it closely, the golf back swing actually works
from up to down. The takeaway back swing begins from the top as
you make the movement on your arms, and follows as you do that
turn on your shoulders. The movement then goes straight down
towards the legs and the hips.
The golf back swing is primarily about how the body is being
coiled upwards, thus creating the needed tension in the muscles

|
Five years before Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color line...
Four years before Kenny Washington took the field for the Los
Angeles Rams... Sixteen years before Willie O'Ree skated onto
the ice for the Boston Bruins... The National Basketball League
(NBL) was already making strides against segregation in
professional sports.
Instead of integrating one African American player into the game
as it happened in baseball, hockey and football, 10 African
American players hit the hardwood in 1942 and made history.
When World War II called the men on the field to the trenches,
American sports suffered a loss. Baseball players like Joe
DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Warren Spahn and Ted Williams headed

| Article Title :: Knee Boarding Tips - Tricks and Jumps |
| |
|
Deepwater Start
The deepwater start is necessary to the knee boarder beginner.
The following are some steps on how to do it correctly.
1) Put the strap in loosest position and make sure it is at the
front of the knee pad.
2) Lie on your stomach on the board with your hands in the
palms-down grip.
3) Signal the boat driver to take the speed up slow. When the
board begins to plane, start to pull your knees onto the knee
pad.
4) Slowly slide or crawl on your knees until they reach the
normal kneeling position.
5) As soon as you are in your comfortable position sit up, let
go of the handle with one hand and put the strap over your legs.

| Article Title :: Betting the Arena League |
| |
|
People ask me about how to handicap Arena League football. The
answer is far more simpler than one might think: It's football!
While the rules are different from the NFL, the same betting
strategies apply. Revenge situations, match-up analysis,
home/road breakdowns, coaching, previous meetings, strength
versus weaknesses, etc. Betting numbers are similar to the NFL,
with oddsmakers making errors in lines each week. And the
handicapper who is on the ball can take advantage.
Arena football is not to be confused with the XFL, which was a
one-year wonder a few years ago. It's different from the USFL,
which was a three-year wonder from 1983-85 before it folded. The
USFL was actually a strong c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choosing The Best Hockey Pads And Other Equipment Like Skates |
| |
|
Skates, along with your helmet and pads are probably the most
important part of your hockey gear. When choosing the best
hockey skates, like choosing the best hockey pads, you should
take into account all of the different brands and find a size
and style that fits you best. Don't simply buy the first pair of
skates you see, but rather shop around and try a few different
options to find the ultimate fit.
When trying on a pair of skates you should have your heel tucked
back into the heel cup, and there should be no more than about a
quarter inch or so in the toe. If your ankles are weak, make
sure to ask for a skate with good ankle support. When it comes
to skates you will also want to ensur (read full article) |
