Yesterday, I wrote a piece about how Barry Bonds told MLB that he will be out for the rest of the season. Today, his doctor says, “While some swelling remains in the knee, it is minimal and not unusual for this level of activity.” So, while Barry seems to have given up on the season,…
Barry Bonds has just stated that he will not be playing at all this year. I can not say that I am overly surprised; he has no moxie.

I was reading an article (which I can no longer find), and came across a tip about not relying on thirst to determine when to hydrate yourself. This is something I have heard time and again throughout my competitive running days, and it bears repeating.
Larry Brown, former coach of the Detroit Pistons, has officially become the coach of the New York Knicks (Press Release). Rumors have it that his deal is about on par with Phil Jackson‘s deal with the Los Angeles Lakers; about 5 years and between $50 to $60 million. His agent isn’t talking, though, so who…
