Re: t-and-f: My favortie sport to pick on

Soccer hasmanaged to become one of the most popular participant sports in the U.S., even though it is totally foreign to 90 per cent of the populace. How? There must be some incredible marketing geniuses in the U.S. Soccer Federation. I played soccer for 8 years before I entered high school

Re: t-and-f: My favortie sport to pick on

I've been saying for several years that someone at USATF should infiltrate USA Soccer and figure out what the heck they're doing right. A summer or two ago, millions of fans across the U.S. got to watch a friendly between the U.S. and someone (I don't recall who they played) live and without

Re: t-and-f: The REAL athlete of the year

His team isn't as much use to him in the mountains either. Put the top guys on each team in the same position and he would come out ahead. As I've said before, read the book and all the SI stuff you can on him and watch the tour and you would learn it isn't just yankee hype. He has traded places

Re: t-and-f: The REAL athlete of the year

I don't know enough about cycling to know if this is a stupid question, but perhaps one of the wheelie mavens can clarify: how much of Armstrong's Tour success does he owe to his team? In other words, if he traded places with whomever you think is the No. 2 rider, would he still be in a class

From: ghill Every time there's a soccer game, half the participants win. And there are more participants trotted onto the field than any other kind of game. It's a great feel-good situation. there are 11 people per team on a soccer field. Not too unlike some of the other major sports. The

But his bottom line is what sticks with me: no matter how many days/months/years you get added to your life, they get added at the end. They're the days before you die. His rhetorical question was, do you really want to spend that much more time in a nursing home? Truly bizarre that a member of a

RE: t-and-f: The REAL athlete of the year

In the interest of beating this into the ground ... Yes, what if all Mo Greene had was speed. What if he had no ability to receive a baton or pass a baton? He'd be pretty useless on a relay. What if he couldn't get out of the blocks quickly enough? Even so, I don't think the analogy applies.

From what I have seen, read, studied regarding exercise is that it may prolong life a year or two, but the major benefit is that moderate exercise along with the healthier life style that tends to tag along with exercise, promotes more independent living, which will help keep an individual out
