Have you ever watched one of those home makeover shows where the
'crew' from whatever show it is, takes a seemingly ordinary
house or room and makes it into some fantastic dream room that
the owner usually is ecstatic about? Al Davis must have watched
a few of these shows while his team was sitting home for the
playoffs and decided he could do the same for his offense. He
followed the same basic premise but spent a little more than the
usual show and their 'crew' does.
The Raiders offense in ...

Any golfer who has made any effort to improve their golf game
will have already heard the often-repeated expression that golf
is all in the mind and that the game starts there.

all the time on the television and even teaching pros are
talking more about the importance of fitness for golf.

years ago.
Last summer, I attended a soccer match between Brazil and the
United States Women's National Team ...
