When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Old Woman
By Ivette Ricco
It's a brand spanking New Year, 2009.
My how time flies when you're having fun, shit how it drags its ass when you're not.

Okay, I grudgingly admit, I am getting old, but I still feel fully capable of kicking a guy in the jewels. But thankfully, the mind does not overrule the body.
I do recognize that I am an older, slower, more wrinkled version of my once pretty young self. Do I like it? Hell no. more >>

Mikey's Picks, Wild Card Weekend.
By Michael-Ann Rowe
Is Brett finished, washed up, gone, bye-bye!

I wonder if he really understood the kind of lens he'd be under playing for a team called, the New York Jets.

You're scrutinized all the way to your demise.

Is that the kind of memory you want to go out with?

With so much criticism, so much laying on that “sore shoulder”, there has to be some regret in playing for the sake of “wanting to play”. more >>

Why Do Athletes Feel the Need to Carry Guns?
By Blythe Brumleve
U.S. Constitution: Second Amendment states:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The topic has been debated for years. Why Do Athletes Feel the Need to Carry Guns?
In the past couple weeks most of us have heard about the Plaxico Burress situation in which he accidentally shot himself leaving a nightclub. Burress became infamous when he caught the game-winning touchdown for the Giants that ended the Patriots dream of a perfect season. Though the situation is still under investigation, his fall from grace is undeniable. Most of the general public is wondering "why in the world does he need to carry a gun at all?", while it is estimated that as many as 70% of players in all leagues carry a fire arm.
Being 6'5, 200lbs and a Super Bowl champ would makes Burress stand out in a crowd. more >>

A Need For Speed
Once again let's make this clear. Women can love sports too. I know this is the very point of the site, but it needs to be said often. We love every sport out there. The excitement gets to us as much as it gets to the boys. more >>

Bend It Like Beckham
David Beckham is a sports God. There is no way around it. His underwear adds cause a stir whenever I see them and his play make any soccer team better. His passes from the middle of the field make Galaxy tickets worth buying. It is fun watching him run across the field anyway, no matter what he is doing. more >>

From the Archives: Twas The Night…
By Ivette Ricco
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Dennis Erickson's house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. York soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Super Bowls danced in their heads.
And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my Niners cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Professional wrestling has dipped back under the pop culture radar, but columnist Greg Wyshynski has found a reason to pay attention to sports entertainment again - and it involves a man spitting live worms. more >>

Playoff Fantasy Football – It's Not Too Late!
By Claudia Rodriguez
The regular season may be over, but that doesn't mean you don't have a fantasy option! Even if some games have been played by the time you read this, it's not too late! (I've even done it with a friend for the Super Bowl game alone.) My Playoff Fantasy Football format is easy to draft, easy to manage, and can be fun for everyone. It can also provide ladies with a reason to cuddle up to their significant other for the next few weekends.

The format outlined below is one that I have used with some local friends and family for over 15 years. (I must admit that I did not create the format, but my good friend that did would have no problem with me sharing it.) more >>
