History of Basketball

Sports Comments Off

Basketball was invented in 1891, by a man named Dr. James Naismith in Canada.  He taught physical education and aimed to create a game that required less than 600 words to explain.  Although the original game prohibited dribbling and awarded all baskets with an equal number of points, this became the basis for the popular game.  It wasn’t until 1909 that unlimited dribbling was allowed and shooting regulations were changes.  The three pointer wasn’t an acceptable basketball convention until 1967, introduced by the NBA, which later trickled down into all aspects of the sport. 

Over a hundred years ago, it would have  been hard for Dr. Naismith to imagine that his PE game would one day become such a popular sport that basketball courts would be found in major gyms all over the United States and that many people would eventually have a residential outside basketball court in their own yards.

The Florida Gators have set the standard when it comes to winning College Football Programs. Since The Florida Gators made the decision to hire Urban Meyer, this college program has dominated the Southeastern Conference.

NFL Blackout Rules

Sports Comments Off

Hello and thanks for visiting my “NFL Blackout Rules” blog post. For the last few years I have had the Luxury of being able to see my favorite Team EVERY Sunday. Even though they were arguably the worst team in the league -we STILL supported them by spending our hard earned money on 1 losing performance after another.

Well, they are still bad -and our economy is getting worse.

We just cannot afford to pay for this “entertainment” -even if they were a little better. But the NFL seems to think that preventing us from watching OUR OWN NFL Team on TV is serving some type of purpose.

And I cant help but think -how are our children EVER going to be come life long Lions fans?

Especially, if the games are RARELY viewable. It just doesnt seem to make any sense -and will the NFL really lose that much money? If you ask me, we are creating a whole generation of “Bandwagon Football fans” – and That is BAD for the NFL.

Dive and Rescue

Sports No Comments

It was a beautiful summer day at the beach.  My twelve-year-old daughter and I decided to get out of the stifling city and spend some quality tanning time on the beach located about forty-five minutes from our home.  Neither of us is a great swimmer, but we don’t care.  We just enjoy being on the beach and taking in the sights.  Now and then, we will go on the boardwalk and sample some of the bad food.  Rarely if ever do we dive into the cold New England water.  On this day, however, my daughter walked out a bit too far and got caught in a dangerous current.  If I hadn’t been a good swimmer, I shudder to think what would have happened to her.

Sports No Comments

I have been using an all in one product called maximuscle cyclone over the last two months and it has really made a difference. I would always recommend the strawberry and chocolate flavours. They are the best of a bad bunch to be totally honest and I would leave the vanilla flavour well alone. I always do some research into the products I take, I think if you are putting something in to your body you should make sure it is the best in the business. I have really enjoyed the benefit of increasing the amount of protein in my diet and I have seen positive. 

Soccer Goalie Equipment

Sports No Comments

If one had to compare risks involved for goalkeepers of different sports, one would realize that the soccer goalie is at least risk. Soccer goalies require the least amount of protective equipment; after all, players defend soccer balls off their heads. However there are some vital Soccer Goalie Equipments which come in very handy. Shine guards, abdomen guards, keeper gloves etc are critical safety equipments that modern day professional goalkeeper requires. Field-hockey goalies are covered in all kinds of armor, including chest protectors, leg guards, arm pads, hand protectors, sticks and helmets with optional throat protection. Field-hockey goalies also wear padded pants, and some of these come with protective girdles.
