| 2010 National Signing Day Preview Posted: 02 Feb 2010 08:47 PM PST Tomorrow is the first Wednesday of the month, and in February that means that it’s National Signing Day for high school students. There’s no obligation for them to do anything, but for the first time, they can sign legally-binding Letters of Intent. Students might be verbally committed, but that doesn’t mean anything until that letter is signed. After all, with all of the coaching changes we’ve seen, some students might be reconsidering their first picks. So where is everyone likely to go tomorrow? Again, no one’s obligated to sign with any school, but here are where the top picks have verbally committed:  Image: Newscom
Will some of the Florida-bound players change their minds without a clear coach at that school? I’m not sure. Maybe some fresh meat is exactly what that team needs right now. And what of Henderson? Where will he go? Sources say that the schools he considered or are considering include Ohio State, USC, Miami (FL), Notre Dame, and Florida. My guess is that he’ll head to Ohio State – they seem to have the most leadership stability right now. Post from: EveryJoe 2010 National Signing Day Preview |
| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 03:26 PM PST As if things couldn’t get any worse for the slumping New Jersey Nets, it was reported today that the team is going to temporarily move to Newark. Really? Newark? Seems like an awful practical joke, doesn’t it? According to the New York Daily News, the Nets will have enough cash and the assets to rebuild their team after this abysmal season. But even though they are scheduled to move to Brooklyn in 2012, the team will likely be calling Newark their new home over the course of next two seasons. Inside sources report that the Nets are close to reaching a preliminary lease agreement with the New Jersey Devils to play their home games at the Prudential Center. Perhaps Newark can offer the change of scenery the Nets need in order to turn the team around.

| Posted: 02 Feb 2010 12:57 PM PST Fumblicious is my new name for Adrian Peterson, but I’m not the only one that thinks the guy needs to change the way he carries the ball. Peterson had plenty of wake up calls this year, and plenty of fumbles that should have told him carrying the ball like a cardigan sweater just wasn’t going to cut it when it came time for the NFC championship game. Many folks have chatted about Peterson’s ball handling skills, but Tiki Barber (who was known to fumble a time or two himself in the beginning of his career) actually called Peterson a “liability” for the Vikings.
Barber got over his fumbling problem by working closely with coach Tom Coughlin, who helped him change the way he held the ball. A simple matter of fundamentals and – poof! – fumbling problem was solved. At this time, I have to question Brad Childress as to why he wasn’t doing the same thing with Peterson before the championship game. He had to know that fumbling would likely be an issue. Barber tells NBC sports that someone needs to talk to Peterson and give him the what-for. He said:

| Dante’s Inferno Banned from Super Bowl Posted: 02 Feb 2010 10:05 AM PST Add Dante’s Inferno to the [growing] list of commercials CBS has “banned” from airing during the Super Bowl. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS had an issue with Inferno’s tagline “Go to Hell” and the ad will still run except “Go to Hell” will be changed to “Hell Awaits”. Semantics, people! Because really, is there THAT much difference between “go to hell” and “hell awaits”? The images in the trailer aren’t changing…just that last part. Whatever. In this case, EA still wins out since Super Bowl 44’s audience is still going to see the ad, a butt ton of them are going to buy the game AND they’re getting free publicity from the pseudo controversy. I love happy endings. Here’s the original ad: Images/EA Post from: EveryJoe Dante’s Inferno Banned from Super Bowl |
| Sunbathing May Increase Libido Posted: 02 Feb 2010 06:54 AM PST It’s hard to keep track of what is good for you and what isn’t. Should we be sunbathing? No, because we don’t want to get skin cancer. But, we need vitamin D and one of the easiest sources is sunlight. So, moderate sun should be good for us, right? There are other indications that sun is an important part of our health. And now, another reason to take a bit of sun. Researchers have found that a little bit of sunbathing can help men increase their libido – because vitamin D helps boost testosterone levels in the blood. The study, which was published in the most recent issue of the medical journal Clinical Endocrinology, looked at 2,299 men. The researchers found that those who had enough vitamin D (30 nanograms of vitamin D per millilitre of blood) had more testosterone than men who did not have enough vitamin D. At this point, it’s not sure if vitamin D supplements would have the same effect, but since we do need some sunshine in our lives, isn’t it nice to know of the added benefits? ~~~ Image: PhotoXpress.com Post from: EveryJoe Sunbathing May Increase Libido |
| How to Improve Your Coordination Posted: 01 Feb 2010 10:12 PM PST Coordination is something most of us take for granted but it is very important in our daily lives and any sporting games. Coordination is basically how well your brain and your limbs collaborate. For example, the ability to hit a baseball with a bat when a ball is coming towards you is a good example of coordination. The best way to improve coordination is through experiencing different sports and activities. Also helpful is training with uneven movements and complex exercises. Conversely, this implicates continuous, unthoughtful exercises like the treadmill, stairstepper, or 1 lift weight lifting as unhelpful to improving your coordination. Try exercises that involve adaptation and confusion. Examples include: 1. Sprint up a basketball court while dribbling with your left hand. Dribble back with your right hand. Now sprint dribbling with both hands. Finish dribbling between your legs as fast as you can. 2. Do step ups on to a platform to increase your leg strength but as you’re stepping up, also do a bicep curl. Not as easy to do as it sounds. 3. Try light boxing where you’re only defending against on coming punches. Your opponent will keep you guessing and reacting. 4. Play ping pong. Requires a lot of hand-eye coordination. 5. Have someone throw a basketball at you from all different angles. Try to catch it no matter where the ball is (at your feet or to the side of your head). There are many more ways to improve coordination. Although these are just five, they should stoke your thought process on more ways to improve your coordination.

| “Martin” Complete Seasons 3 & 4 Posted: 01 Feb 2010 09:34 PM PST Did you ever watch the show Martin? I absolutely loved it. It starred Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell and the comedy was so perfect and so well-executed that I was seriously disappointed when it went off the air.  image: Amazon The box set is comprised of eight discs and has a run time of 1620 minutes. If you haven't seen the show, or you'd like to see it all from the beginning, you could also pick up Martin – The Complete First Season and Martin – The Complete Second Season.
