Most of the Spanish players have day jobs (practices take place at night) and, for them, multi-tasking is a must. Ehrlich relates that the first night he was there, the team sent a man named Paco to fix his bed. Paco, it turned out, was also the Firebats’ starting defensive...
Youth coaches must also rethink tackling technique. One method that has received positive reviews is the "Dip 'n' Rip," taught by a former UCLA defensive back named Bobby Hosea. Hosea instructs kids to wind back their arms and explode up with their hips while going in for a hit. Such a movement causes the head to rock away from oncoming traffic.

...concussion during a 2006 game. Lystedt collapsed after the game. His brain hemorrhaged, he went into a monthlong coma, and he remains paralyzed on one side of his body. The law requires that all youth athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury during a practice or game must sit out and may not return to play unless cleared by a licensed medical provider trained in concussion management.

Like most bank lobbyists, he says he supports financial reform - as long as it doesn't include a consumer agency or a bunch of other provisions that...
...President Obama spoke the first 676 words of his State of the Union address on Wednesday night before the first hand clap. His tone was so somber, and the room's mood so grave, that no one moved when Obama said, "We must answer history's call." There were no ovations when he called for "Democrats and Republicans to work through our differences, to overcome the numbing weight of our problems." He got no love for saying, "The worst of the storm has passed." (See "Judging Obama's First Year, Issue by Issue...
