Growing up with an older brother (Garland) and two orderly cousins (Earle and Harvey) who lived across the yard meant that I was often cast in the most inconsequential roles in games and sports. For example, all the neighboring children played baseball in a clearing in our garden; in reality, the clearing was the infield, and any ball that came […]
As a beginning coach, I ignored warm-ups and used half-speed two-ball dribbling drills as a warm-up for more intense activities during practice. When I moved to Sweden to coach a professional women’s basketball team, the players were married to their warm-ups and couldn’t function without an extended warm-up period. When I was training with the club’s men’s team, I felt […]
TORONTO RAPTOR 20-34 What has changed? Toronto rewarded Jalen Rose’s game-winning goal against the Kings with a trade to the New York Knicks. In exchange they received Antonio Davis to help Chris Bosh in the front zone. While Davis hasn’t made the biggest impact yet, it looks like good things are on the horizon.

Uptalk is invading the workplace and reaching epidemic proportions. It’s that sing-song speech pattern that has a rising inflection at the end of the sentence. It sounds like the speaker is asking a question instead of making a statement. Once the exclusive domain of teenagers, it is now a regular part of the adult world. And I don’t mean Generation […]
The best way I know of to make money trading stocks is to follow three fundamental rules: invest short, defensive, and with maximum leverage. Today’s retail business environment is very different from the world of Graham, Dodd & Buffett value investors. Today’s day traders rely on getting money invested quickly as the tide rises and then disinvesting on autopilot after […]
In the never-ending quarterback controversy, different quarterbacks are described by different people as the best ever. Some people believe that Joe Montana, with his San Francisco dynasty, was the greatest. Others think that John Elway, with “The Drive” and his victories from behind, was the best. Some people even argue that Archie Manning, if he had ever played for a […]
We’ve seen hockey players change their playing positions before, but it only happens once in a blue moon. I have put together a list of the top five players in the NHL who can change their playing position and will play just as well, if not better, than before. This list is made up of realistic odds only and there […]

The responses were quite mixed and ranged from the practical to the ridiculous. We cut out the outliers and compiled a reasonable list to help you choose the right gift for that sports fan. Read on for the […]
Ghana, a four-time winner of the Africa Cup of Nations, is seen globally as one of the most sporting nations in Africa. Within Ghana, Asante Kotoka is one of the most famous football teams and multiple times national champion. However, in Kumasi in the 1970s it must be recorded that apart from football there was very little evidence of popular […]
