Some hobbies more than money pit
While standing in line for my morning coffee a few months ago, I overheard a conversation between two women. The portion Im about to share obviously stayed with me longer than the coffee. Apparently the two friends hadnt seen each other for some time. The brief delay in their day offered an opportunity to catch up. There was talk of busy...
Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that the Reds are looking to sign Sporting Lisbon youngster Joao Carlos, who is still yet to play for the first team at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
English Premier League giants Liverpool have fallen from grace in the last couple of seasons and no longer look like the side that could be challenging for honours at the highest level anytime soon.
However with the arrival of club legend Kenny Dalglish to Anfield last year, things have started to turn bright for the Merseysiders. The Scot has revamped the team and sold the misfiring Torres to Chelsea.
He used the money from the Spaniards sale to fund other moves and has signed the likes of Andy Carroll,...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas first-year coach Mike Anderson promised a frenetic, pressing style when he took over the program in March.

When I ask these athletes if they have hobbies or activities that they like to do in their down time, many just chuckle politely. They say they don?t have much downtime, let alone time for hobbies.
So how then does Carmel senior guard Madeline Felipez have time for a cause? You know, a real cause, as in a movement for social change or action.
My guess is that her intense passion for it forces her to make time.
Felipez is bound and determined to change habits and mindsets, and her cause is her team, the Carmel girls basketball team ? not to mention the girls volleyball team, the girls softball team and all the other girls teams on the Carmel campus.
She is trying,...

David Beckham says that when he landed in North America in 2007 his goal was to raise the game of soccer to the level of more popular sports.
Five years on, the former England captain says that while it still doesn’t rival the NFL, NBA or Major League Baseball, soccer is gaining momentum on this continent. And, with his family happy in Los Angeles and more of his sporting missionary work to do, Beckham says it only made sense to stay.

Benfica cruised past a spirited Vitoria de Setúbal side 4-1 with a brace from Oscar Cardozo, who was later given his marching orders. His goals were sandwiched between strikes from Nolito and Nemanja Matic.

Even at a chilly 35 degrees, Manchesters small downtown square is full of heated activity.

Franklin is one of 19 Jewish athletic champions from between the 18th century and the founding of Israel, in 1948, whose stories are told in an exhibition that opened last Sunday at Beit Hatfutsot: the Museum of the Jewish People. Entitled The Game of Their Lives, the exhibition is a unique attempt to paint a comprehensive picture of outstanding Jewish athletes throughout the world, one that crosses geographic and national boundaries and presents a wide range of sports. It opens at the start of a year that will see the XXX Olympic Summer Games in London, and that marks the 40th anniversary of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich.
It is no coincidence...
