Confessions of a Wannabe Cheerleader
We all know that NFL players are some of the most injured sports athletes around.
According to the National Center of Catastrohopic Injury Research, 97% of all catastrophic sports injuries happened to NFL players.
What’s a “catastrophic sports injury”? Something that leads to paralysis or death.
So let’s take a look at what sport is number two on the Center’s list:

The All-Time Biggest Sports Jerks:
And Other Goofballs, Cads, Miscreants, Reprobates, and Weirdos
Sports fans are a finicky bunch.
When a player does really well and wins for their team, those players can do nothing wrong.
When a player does something that loses The Big Game, those players can have a black mark on them that will follow them for the rest of their lives.
We all remember the superstars fondly, and wear their jerseys proudly. The goats? Not so much.

The Wave Watcher’s Companion:
Ocean Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life’s Undulations
Web Watch has been told that we were the first to get a Wave started at Coors Field in Denver during a Colorado Rockies baseball game circa 1993 or 1994 or so.
We may not have the date correct, but the one fact we do know is true is that drunk college kids sitting in front of us are easily persuaded to do things that they might not normally do in public.
Like doing The Wave.

Remembering Fenway Park: An Oral and Narrative History of the Home of the Boston Red Sox
Every once in a while, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) posts something on their website that really does appeal to people from all sectors — their list of the TOP TEN VEGAN-FRIENDLY BASEBALL STADIUMS - because even if you’re a carnivore yourself, you may have friends that are vegan or vegetarian that you like to hang out with.

Do you have what it takes to survive the Ultimate Racing Challenge?
Sure, you could probably try one of Mark Burnett’s events, whether it be SURVIVOR, the ECO-CHALLENGE, or EXPEDITION IMPOSSIBLE – but those have nothing, and we mean nothing, on the DEATH RACE CHALLENGE… that their website is at the URL YOU MAY DIE should tell you something.

Idiots on the Miniature Golf Course
Rick Baird from Charlotte, North Carolina, is not an idiot, nor does he play “miniature golf”.
He plays Putt-Putt, and he’s really good at it.
Web Watch knows you’re confused — isn’t putt-putt golf and miniature golf the same thing? No, dear reader, it isn’t. Putt-Putt is a franchised company that defines a standard set of putting challenges that will be mainly the same from one Putt-Putt location to another. Consistency is important here, and putting is a true skill to be showcased.
Miniature golf, on the other hand, is the one with windmills, gorillas, fake blue water, tunnels, obstacles, and other entertainment stuff scattered across the putting surface and environment. Definitely not the same thing.

Web Watch has many friends who are avid bicyclists. They’ll ride their bikes every chance they get, and have even gone on month-long bicycle excursions across the country and around the world.
And why not? They’re young, they’re healthy, and they follow the rules of the road – even stopping at traffic lights and stop signs like they’re supposed to so they don’t get hit by cross-traffic.
But the one thing these friends lament is that they can’t take their beloved doggie with them on these long bike rides.

Wilson NCAA Men’s Basketball 2011 Final Four Bracket Basketball
For college basketball fans, it’s the week that matters. When office workers everywhere stop pretending to do work when filling out their brackets and start pretending to do work while sneaking in a mini-TV to hide under their desks so they don’t miss a minute of CBS’s coverage.
This is one benefit of the switch to digital TV, that you won’t find as many portable TV sets hiding at the office as you used to — but there’s always the Internet, so as long as your network administrator hasn’t blocked access to the streaming video websites, you should be good.
So a few weeks ago, Web Watch shared some TIPS FOR FILLING OUT YOUR 2011 BASKETBALL BRACKET. Since then, some additional information has come out that we thought we’d share with you.

Web Watch loves watching the Super Bowl. Yeah, we don’t often care what teams are playing – although we always cheer for the NFC – but we love the glory, the spectacle, the over-excess of the event itself.
And yes, we even get to watch a decent commercial or two.
