Americans Falling by the Way-side!!

The world of golf and tennis has always been dominated by Americans. But never before has it been so apparent that the rest of the world is taking over these two marquee sports. Case in point, the highest ranked American male tennis player is Mardy Fish – currently #11 on the ledger – Fish had a great tournament in Miami a few weeks back making the Semi Finals before getting crushed by eventual champion and world number 2 Novak Djokovic. Fish is ranked outside of the top-10 and doesn’t have a big upside to his game. The chance of Fish moving up the rankings would be the same chance as Federer winning another French title. On the other hand, Andy Roddick seems to be stagnating of late with his tennis and another Slam for the former US Open champion – let alone a rankings jump into...

21 Improvements to Fix the World of Sports

If I was the commissioner of the entire sports world I would implement some major rules changes that would make the games we love more enjoyable. There are so many ridiculous rules in so many sports – I’m really not sure where to start. But I don’t think anyone would argue with my first selection. 1. The Single Point in the CFL needs to go. How is it possible that a team can be rewarded for missing a field goal? The ‘rouge’ as it’s known amongst CFL aficionados might be the silliest rule in all of sports. You miss a kick wide right or wide left – and that’s it – the other team should instantly be awarded possession of the ball - there should be no scoring allowed – not even a single point!! But the CFL – trying to be different than all other football leagues world wide...

An Amazing Day

There was the eye-catching comeback of a Tiger. The stirring revival from a crew from Down Under! The excruciating collapse of a kid! 5 straight birdies on the back-nine by a former Major Champion! And in the end, the championship crowning of a son of a South African chicken farmer named Charl Schwartzel! Excuse my ignorance but who the heck is Charl Schwartzel? – and once again excuse my obtuseness – but how in God’s earth can a guy who looks like a shoe salesman win the most coveted golf event on the planet? As the sun set on the luscious greenery at Augusta National Golf Club after the conclusion of the 75th Masters, amazed patrons struggled to take deep breaths. They had nothing left. It was a gut-wrenching day to be sure! The world's best golfers had just spent...

Dry Skin Brushing

We brush our hair, we brush our teeth we should brush our skin too! The skin is the largest organ of the body, it is also one of the most important elimination organs, responsible for ¼ of the body’s detoxification each day and can eliminate up to two pounds of waste daily, when functioning efficiently. When I was in Aesthetics College, my instructor would say “the skin is a mirror image to what is happening internally”. Meaning, the skin is the last to receive the body’s nutrients, and the first to show signs of imbalance or deficiency. When the blood is full of toxic materials the skin will reflect this with conditions like acne, boils or dermatitis even dark circles around the eyes and a sallow completion can be attributed to poorly functioning skin and other internal issues.
