Linebacker Drills from Lawrence Timmons

(We're not dead just busy, haha)

To me the Steelers present one of the biggest condumdrums in sports. They have a great fanbase, likeable players, they win, but in the past tne or fifteen years have played one of the most boring brands to football in recent memories. On offense smash mouth football is hard to watch, but defensively it provides big hits. Lawerence Timmons is the next generation of Steeler linebackers to lay the smackdown on the field. Here are a couple drills that he uses to get ready for Sunday.

Randy Couture: Moments before the Fight

It's been a while, so we're coming back strong..well at least with all the strength a 46 year old man can deliver. Rnady Couture may have gotten beat last weekend but that doesn't mean he didn't have a good showing. He took a lot of punishment, got knocked down a couple of times, and still lasted all 3 rounds. Before the fight, what must he have been going through, thinking about, contemplating? We've heard Frank Mir run through the nerves, now its Randy's turn (hint: footage even includes after the loss):

Cyborg in Training

I love watching fighting from the ring, to the octagon, and to sometimes a random brawl at a soccer event. But one form of fighting I absolutely hate is female MMA, mainly because I don't think its normal. Really, at a soccer brawl you don't see women throwing down looking to prove something, maybe at a nightclub but never really during some random portion of the day. Anywho, Cris Cyborg beat Gina Cerano last night in the first round filled with madness. I may not like them being fighters, but that's who they are, fighters.

Curt Schilling on Being Traded

August is a slow sports month, and not good for workouts since the major sport of the month has a steroid scandal every other week. But speaking of the sport of baseball, it if can't teach out about working out, it sure can give us some incite inot the life of an athlete, such as that of being traded. Curt Schilling is a loud mouth and a hypocrite, but he's a good loud mouth because he tells it how it is, and here's his expereience on how he found out he was traded:

So I am sitting on the chair watching ESPN, and along the bottom of the screen scrolls

“Red Sox acquire Boddicker……..”

“Boston acquires RHP Mike Boddicker for minor league OF Brady Anderson and minor league RHP Curt Schilling”

Um, what?????

Talk about stunned, shocked, reeling, everything you can imagine.

That’s how I found out. That was how I was informed.

Anderson Silva Training for UFC 101

My favorite fighter is fighting in two weeks, and hopefully he can give us a much better show than his past couple of fights where guys either got injured or literally laid down on the floor for 5 straight rounds. Against, Forrest Griffin, Anderson Silva will finally find a fight worth fighting, and here is how he's training for the fight:

Video Tips from Derek Jeter

I saw this the other day, a video set by Derek Jeter giving all of his tips about playing asketball. This is probably the most comprehensive set of videos I've seen, and the best part is that it's directed at kids and teens so anyone can understand. Its great when athletes can fund a site like that (see sarcasm).
