Carter White presents Things to Consider About Archery for Elementary Schoolers posted at Babysitting, saying, "After watching movies like Hunger Games and Brave many kids are taking a sudden interest in archery."

Jeff Moore presents How Young is Too Young for Your Child to Specialize in a Sport posted at Babysitting Jobs, saying, "Long gone are the days of seasonal sports where youth were encouraged to play one sport per season. Today the highest level of competitive youth sports has 10-year-olds signing contracts stating that they’ll play exclusively for one local team, and children are being pressured to pick one sport by being benched anytime they miss practice, even if it is for another youth sporting event."

Baseball

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse: The Beltre-ville Horror posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "My beloved Boston Red Sox came to terms with Adrian Beltre on a 1 year/$9 million deal, with a player option for 2011 for $5 million. While that news is not surprising (or important enough to break through as one of the top stories on ESPN.com’s front page…), it is significant to Red Sox fans, Yankees fans, Mike Lowell fans, and fans who think that money is wasted in Major League Baseball."

Eric Gargiulo presents The Ultimate ?Unit? Of Measurement ? Looking At Randy Johnson posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "As the 2009 MLB season drew to a close, many were already wondering about big name free agents, and wondering about certain plyaers that may or may not be able to help their teams in 2010. A name that many had to consider, much the way they had for the last 20 years, was the ageless wonder, 6 foot 10 inch Randy Johnson. Yes he is 46 years old, but he still had that same mound presence last year as a member of the San Francisco Giants. The only problem here is that Johnson has decided to hang it up, and end a brilliant but often misunderstood career."

Football

Eric Gargiulo presents The Most Memorable NFL Game Of The Decade posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Over the course of a decade, there have been many memorable and great NFL games. Super Bowls, playoff upsets, and even some historic regular season meetings that were about more than a win or a loss. In looking back at the decade I can only think of one NFL game that meant more to the decade than any other. It wasn’t a Super Bowl, nor was it even a conference playoff game. When you think of all of the NFL games played in the last ten years, I can’t think of a game with more ramifications and controversy over the decade than the infamous “Tuck Rule Game.”"

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL Week 17 Preview and Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The biggest game of the week takes place Sunday afternoon in Dallas, Texas. The new Texas Stadium will host the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles playing for the NFC East title. Both teams have already clinched playoff spots, but the post season road for each team would be much easier with a win. For the Cowboys, they will be guaranteed a home game. For the Eagles, they can clinch the overall second spot and would only play one game on the road in New Orleans if the Saints win their divisional game. Needless to say, both teams have plenty to play for and nobody will be sitting starters in Texas."

Steve Patterson presents Wisconsin Puts the Hurt on Miami to Score for the Big Ten posted at BrutusReport, saying, "The Badgers finished the year with 10 wins after a disappointing season last year."

Steve Patterson presents What to look for in New Years Day bowl games. posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "Auburn is the better team that played a better schedule and will win."

Eric Gargiulo presents The Tim Tebow Reality Check posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Gator faithful have been out in full force since the Sugar Bowl. Tim Tebow has turned into the hottest NFL prospect since Peyton Manning. The hype machine is at an all-time high for Saint Tim. Yet the reality of the situation for Tebow fans is that the Sugar Bowl means absolutely nothing about the future NFL prospects of Tim Tebow."

Steve Patterson presents What to look for in the BcS Championship game. posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "I expect a low scoring game. I don’t see either team exploding offensively. The over/under is 45 and the under is the best bet. The line is Bama by 4. I expect them to win but it may be closer than that."

Steve Patterson presents Pentello and Gibson Leaving, Heyward and Chekwa Staying posted at BrutusReport, saying, "Gibson choose to enter the 2010 NFL draft instead of coming back for his senior season."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL Wild Card Preview and Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Let’s start out with the game that hits closest to my heart between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. After being declared the hottest team in the NFC, the Eagles reminded fans like me why we can’t trust them in certain situations. Rivalry game, on the road, second seed on the line, and the Eagles decided to take their Bye Week early. The Dallas Cowboys spanked the birds at home and locked up the NFC East, and a home game this weekend with last week’s drubbing."

Eric Gargiulo presents NFL Head Coaching Cash For Clunkers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Pete Carroll being hired by the Seattle Seahawks with a generous amount of personnel control is yet another example of a team enamored with name over facts. The next time an NFL head coach wants a raise he is better off tanking a season, getting fired, and getting rehired somewhere else."

Eric Gargiulo presents The Annual Philadelphia Eagles Postmortem Blog posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Here we go again. It looks like it is time for the annual Philadelphia Eagles postmortem blog. For the fourth straight year I sit here in disgust and disappointment as a birds fan. The obvious two names up for discussion here are the head coach and the quarterback. Are we better off without one, the other or both? Unfortunately while a valid question it is one without much merit after the coach’s latest contract extension."

Eric Gargiulo presents Are the Olympics A Peter Forsberg Showcase? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Peter Forsberg is currently enjoying a good season with Modo Hockey in Sweden where he has 19 points in 18 games. It was also recently announced that Forsberg will be added to Swedens olympic team that will be on display in Vancouver this February. Forsberg has collected two gold medals with the team and is considered the team’s unsung leader. I post a question to all of you though; Are the Olympic games one last go around for Swedens biggest NHL hero, or is it an NHL showcase for teams to see if he still has anything left in the tank, and is worth signing to a contract for a potential playoff team?"

The deal that was on the table would, most likely, not only shatter pay-per-view records and generate a possible $200 million in revenue, but net each fighter in the neighborhood of $40 million each. Each! And you can’t iron out details for $40M?"

Cheryl Ragsdale presents 10 Reasons Why Female Bodybuilding is the Greatest Sport posted at That Girl is Funny, saying, "Renee Willis, female Figure Competitive Bodybuilder, shares her thoughts on the sport of bodybuilding – how she got into it and why she does it. It’s a sport of muscle and high heel shoes, hair, make-up, accessories, having the right suit, having the right color suit - a sport of conditioning – a sport where too much conditioning could be your detriment and too little conditioning could be equally detrimental.

Basketball

Eric Gargiulo presents NBA Betting - Free-scoring Lakers host stingy Bulls | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Bulls have won two in a row, although that probably won’t be enough to make them NBA betting favorites on the West Coast. They’re having some troubles scoring with only one 100-point game so far this year, but their defense is stellar as the Bulls are sixth in points allowed. The Bulls were hurt by an early-season injury to Derrick Rose, who is the key to their NBA betting odds, but John Salmons and Taj Gibson have been coming on as of late as well. Rose averaged 25.0 points in two games against the Lakers last year."

Football

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse – NFL Week 11 Preview & Picks | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Starting off with a very important game in the NFC between two struggling teams that had high hopes going into the 2009 season. The Atlanta Falcons will be taking on the New York Giants in a game that could have been predicted as a potential playoff matchup in January."

Steve Patterson presents Happy Thanksgiving?The NFL Provides the Turkeys posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "Unless he continues to improve his passing, defenses will adjust to the Young led O and stop this version of the team as well."

Eric Gargiulo presents Beat The Shark Wrap Up Plus Other Tidbits From NFL Week 12 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Well despite the terrific efforts of last weeks contestant, Miss Candice Albanese, “The Shark” was back in the winners circle, and of course back to brag about it. With a big 3-1 record on the week, thanks to winning picks the Buccaneers, Seahawks and Titans, “The Shark” was able to lift the picks record to 21-18-1 and take a 6-5 lead over the ladies. Candice did a pretty good job as well, going 2-2 as she had winners with the Colts and the Vikings, but fell with the Dolphins losing to the Bills and the Eagles were unable to cover against the Redskins. So now with that the women are back to .500 with a record of 20-20. Oh so maybe it is time for the tie break against myself and the Albanese girls. Sister Karyn got me in week 3, and I took down Candice in week 12. Hmmm, perhaps a me vs. both in a week or 2? Anyway it goes to show once again that beauty does not always beat the beast! Nice efforts Candice, but you’ve been Shark Bit!"

Eric Gargiulo presents Is Bute Superior to the Super Six? | CamelClutchBlog.com posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "If the Six Man tournament in the Super Middleweight Division is not enough to shake it up, how about a rematch, and we all wanted one, because the first was so controversial, between undefeated IBF champ Lucian Bute and Librado Andrade. They showed what happened in their first fight. Max Kellerman said Bute got knocked out twice and won the fight, and it was the worst kind of hometown refereeing he has ever seen. It’s true, but besides Emanuel Augustus getting robbed and jobbed in Burton’s hometown on ESPN, this fight was for a title on a pay network. They had a clock and showed that instead of a ten count Bute got a 21 count. Kellerman also said that Andrade should be the champion. So there is a compelling match up between the “other” super middleweight champion. In the tournament, now, we have undefeated Andre Ward with the WBA title, and undefeated Carl Froch with the WBC title. Well here was undefeated IBF champ Bute trying to state his claim that he is the best."
