Former NFL Star: I wanna go back and do it all over

You'd expect to hear the lyrics to classic Eddie Money from some overweight, balding, alcoholic wreck of a man whose life peaked in high school but could have been orders of magnitude better if coach had only kept him in during the 4th quarter at the State Championships. You might be surprised to hear this from a former NFL star who had it all, including a Super Bowl Championship ring.

Eight minutes into the 2008 season Tom Brady went down with a knee injury, and so did the hopes of thousands of fantasy football players. People take their fantasy teams seriously, so it shouldn't be a surprise that in response to that incident one company has started a new line of insurance to get in on the $800 million annual fantasy sports action.

Redskin Fans Get Hit Hard By Team's Offensive Line

Posted to Sport on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 08:46:53 AM EST (promoted by port1080). RSS.
American football fans are a breed apart. Especially the fans who are so emotionally attached to their teams that they are willing to fork over the moolah required to pay for Personal Seat Licenses (PSLs) and season tickets. But, hey, you're a part of something greater than yourself. You're part of the team and well-loved by the ownership. At least that's the line most National Football League clubs feed to their adoring fans as they're taking their money. But, when things are tight and you can't afford the season tickets, your club will work with you and figure out a way to honor your decades of faithful devotion, right? Wrong. At least not if you're a Washington Redskins fan like Pat Hill who is being rewarded for close to a half century of devotion by being sued into bankruptcy by the team she loves.

Is Delaware A Small Wonder? Bet On It.

Up till now, if you wanted to wager some money on the outcome of a particular sporting match, you had about two legal choices. You could go to Nevada and place a legal bet with the sports books out there or you could find your neighborhood bookie to place an illegal wager. You could go online but that is fraught with all sorts of problems, not the least of which is that it is widely considered illegal. Soon you will have a second legal choice. You can go to any of the racinos* in Delaware to place a legal bet with the sports books there. Not only has the state legislature passed a law which the governor signed making it kosher, the state Supreme Court said there's nothing unconstitutional about it.

Being A Fashion Victim Rarely Hurts This Much

They say it's not important whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Add an addendum to that old saw - as unimportant as winning and losing might be and how you play the game; it's absolutely critical that your uniform be regulation. There's a high school squad in Illinois which can attest to that and probably tell you just how rotten it all is.
