International soccer matches should be settled by fights, not penalties.


In the last World Cup, England's match with Portugal ended 0-0 after Portugal's Christiano Ronaldo got England's star player, Wayne Rooney, sent off. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article54412.ece http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article54413.ece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGrwVcpUGq4 England subsequently lost the match on penalties, which was a cruel way to exit the tournament because penalties are such lotteries – the goalie can only just guess which side of th...

Jericho Scott should be allowed to pitch in his league


if you are the right age and know what you are doing you should be allowed to pitch. The issue at question is the 9 year old in New Haven Conneticut who got banned from pitching and his team disbanding, because he threw 40 miles an hour in a 8-10 league. As the Local attorney John Attorney said, "You don't have to be learned in the law to know in your heart that it's wrong," he said. "Now you have to be punished because you excel at something?" It also said in this article (http://msn.foxspor...
Ronaldo is an odious cheat; a disgrace to football and should be banned from the game forthwith.


I should just like to provide a few definitions before I begin: Football – soccer. Christian Ronaldo – Manchester United and Portugal international player who ponces about the pitch like Billy Elliot with a feckin' football, looking for an opportunity to deceive the referee into awarding a foul in his favour and thus unfairly penalising the opposing player. Billy Elliot – a fictional character of stage and screen; a nancy boy whose ambition as a youth was to become a dancer. Nancy...

River Rafting Should Not Be Regulated


The wild rivers of the USA belong to the people, not to environmental advocates or park rangers. If a group of people want to raft down one of America's rivers, they should not be required to get a permit. Common sense, general safety rules, and environmental care should be used instead....

Skiing requires more skill than snowboarding. -More athleticism, balance, and coordination is required to control skis compared to snowboarding. -The learning curve for skiing is steeper than snowboarding, helping to confirm the facts from point one. Skiing is better than snowboarding. -...
Frank Gore will be more productive in the upcoming season than last year


I feel Frank Gore will have a much more productive season compared to last year. Frank Gore had somewhat of a down year last year, but even after he lost his mother in week 2, and was bothered by an ankle injury all of last year, he still managed over 1,100 yards rushing. Needless to say, his line was not that spectacular. This year Frank is completely healthy. He has looked good in practices during training camp, and Mike Martz the newly acquired offensive coordinator has said Frank will be...
