Youth Sports Culture
The sun isn't yet up and the air has a fall chill to it as you breathe in the day. The rest of the household is still asleep, but out the door you go, into the violet-skied morning. A quick workout, maybe a stretching session if you have time before morning practice starts. The day is filled with workouts, practice, school, more practice, some sort of appointment or meeting. You find yourself stumbling to your room after the sun has set. An hour of homework and shoving some food into your body before you crawl into bed, setting your alarm for another early morning. Day after day, week after week.

What's Next for Anthony Joshua?
In front of a packed Wembley Stadium, Anthony Joshua went on collect his 22nd victory Saturday night with a 7th round knockout of the stouthearted Russian, Alexander Povetkin.

Few national teams have been so dominant in a single sport in the history of the Olympics. The men's Olympic basketball team has brought home gold in fifteen out of eighteen Olympic appearances since the 1936 games, when basketball first became an Olympic sport, and it has always medaled. Indeed, even the times the team received silver or bronze medals have been surrounded by controversy. Regardless, nobody can question Team USA's basketball dominance. Here are ten teams who distinguished themselves as particularly impressive.

Eight Week 3 Wide Receivers to Draft in DraftKings
You hopefully made good money last week if you went with Adam Thielen, Ty Hilton, Golden Tate, JuJu or Allen Robinson; however, Odell, Demaryius Thomas, and Ted Ginn Jr all flopped while Julio Jones, Tyreek Hill, and Mike Evans weren't as avoidable as we had thought. Sorry. But welcome to a new week and all the ways to win a million are available again. We've already covered three quarterbacks and five running backs and today we are covering the eight wide receivers. Undoubtedly the heart and soul of your team, your four (yes four) wide receivers will be the bread and butter of your winning line up. Cutting costs at other positions and paying for premium running backs leaves about $6,000 for all four spots; so you will once again need to get creative in your flex if you overspend at WR1 and WR2. Every dollar here counts. Here are eight wide receivers to pick n choose from and three to avoid.

The G.O.A.T.
This was written a week before Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl...AGAIN! Let me start by saying I hate Tom Brady and I hate the New England Patriots. Ok, hate is a strong word. I have a hatred for Tom Brady and the Patriots. Why? Because all they do is win! When Brady was suspended four games, my first thought was, “Yes, that should be four losses and now some other teams may have a chance.” Fat chance...the Patriots won three of the four games without Brady.

The Noise. Top Story - September 2018.
"Did you hear...." "He's so good..." "I didn't think he..." All of these things buzzing and whizzing around your head. All. Day. Long. From coaches to scouts, general managers, and teammates, everyone seems to have an opinion about the way you conduct yourself or performed. The less knowledge that one of these individuals holds the more dangerous and damaging that comment can be. The noise is never ending, the speculation even more so.
