Thanksgiving week last year was pretty slow. There was some random football news, but it is not really very relevant anymore. Although it was kind of funny that Jay Feeley missed so many field goals. I still believe that weighing yourself daily is not only a healthy thing to do but is also an important…
The New England Patriots are claiming that StubHub, an online ticket reseller, is circumventing Massachusett’s anti-scalping laws and the team’s own policies in regards to the resale of tickets to their games. They claim that the website does not inform their users that what they are doing is illegal and can lead to the Patriots…
This week starts early, with three Thanksgiving Day games. Do not forget to get your picks in in time, and to set your fantasy lineups. I did not think a lot about this week’s picks. Miami is going to have a strong late season, same as last year. I hate to do it, but I…
I have used the start of Winter as a time to recover from a long racing season. My racing season usually starts in late winter, peters out a bit after my Spring marathon, and then goes full bore through the Summer and until my Autumn marathon. After the Autumn marathon I give my legs a…

This week last year was focused predominantly upon sports news. I wrote a very popular article about heart rate monitors and determining your maximum heart rate. If you are interested in that sort of thing, then a couple of weeks ago Complete Running had a series of articles on training with your heart rate. I…
Week 11 of the NFL season approaches. I do not really have a lot to say this week, other than that I think that Dallas is going to give Indianapolis their first loss. I think that New England needs to win this game against Green Bay, and I picked them because I just do not…
Jeanne wrote an article about running with headphones over at Complete Running that I wanted to respond to. She is trying to understand some local running clubs that are mounting campaigns against the process. One of the the things that she brings up is how it relates to deaf runners: What do deaf runners do?…
