todd heltonWhen we were kids, we thought athletes can play forever. We find out that’s not the case as we get older. Like us, athletes become old and they don’t produce at the level we are used to seeing.  Retirement is part of sports. And it will be tough for Rockies legend Todd Helton. Read More →

manning brothers 2The media has hyped up Manning Bowl III all week by calling this a grudge match. Whatever gets people to watch the game I guess. Bragging rights mean nothing to the Mannings despite all of the hype surrounding this fan-fest. It’s a ball game that both quarterbacks want to win for their respective teams. Read More →
