Day in the Life of Softball, The Dragoncast, and Home Improvements

Perfect day to be out, catching a softball game!

Hey there. Looks like I'm going group the weekend into one post. I planned on doing daily posts but that just wasn't in the cards this weekend. Maybe this will be the norm, maybe this will be just a one time thing. Let's see how the weekend went down.

Day in the Life of the First Day of School, NBA Top Shot Cool Cats Pack Drop, and Softball

Nothing like a nice, cold beer to end your day.

Hey there friends. My day job kept me busy today, but that didn't mean I didn't have an eventful day. Let's get into it.

If you have a hobby that you love already, you could try to monetize it, but there are others that you can learn to love that will put cash in your pocket even without trying!

Female WWE Superstars Who Could Join SmackDown

Hey there. It's clear that WWE sports and entertainment has been a male-dominated show, with most of the male figures being in the limelight most of the time. However, many things have changed with most female superstars coming to the show. This move has bred many female wrestlers who have been phenomenal.

However, there are some who have been good from the grassroots level, and those are the ones that have been given a chance to shape up their brand and participate on Friday Night SmackDown. On that note, let us share with you some of the female WWE superstars who could be on the verge of joining the show.

Don't Think You Need A Side Hustle? Yes You Do!

The idea of a side hustle might not sound appealing because, well, let's face it - no one wants to work twice as hard! The motto to live by is to work smarter, not harder. However, a side hustle is more than a ball-busting second job that adds extra stress to your life. In reality, it can fill in the gaps and help you to transform a passion into something big. You don't think you need a side hustle now, but you haven't read this post.

Here are the four main reasons to try and turn a hobby into something special.

Why is the Arc Europe's Best Race?

With the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe being the key race in the European flat calendar and with stunning prize money of €5 million it is a race that is targeted by many of the top horses across the world. This year’s race was no other as five different countries took part which were France, Ireland, Great Britain, Germany and Japan. The list of champions that have won the race is long and one of the top ones must be the Dancing Brave. His owner was Khalid Abdullah who now owns the most recent winner of the race Enable. You can have your own horse racing bet on any of these major races up from day to day events here.

Fanduel DFS NBA Lineup Jan. 6, 2017

Hey there, friends!  Who's ready for another Fanduel NBA Lineup?!  I ended up 1 out of 4 last night.  A few of the last minute changes really screwed with my lineu (SHOULD HAVE LEFT McCOLLUM IN!!!) but that's just the way the ball bounces sometimes.  Let's jump right in!

Fanduel DFS NBA Lineup Jan. 5, 2017

Hey there, friends.  Ready for today's lineup for Fanduel's main slate of games?  Yesterday was a bit of a weird night on Fanduel.  My suggestion lineup scored over 312 fantasy points, yet it ended up well below the winners column.  What gives?  I'll chalk it up to a fluke night since generally, anything over 300 fantasy points usually equals a win.  I ended up with a big fat goose egg last night,  So let's get right in to it!

Fanduel DFS NBA Lineup Jan. 4, 2017

Hey there, friends.  Ready for another lineup for Fanduel's main NBA slate of games tonight?  If you ended up using my lineup from yesterday, you might have ended up a winner.  I did.  I managed to score cash on 3 out of 4 games.  In the end of the night, I ended up winning $1.40.  Yeah... it's peanuts, but a win is a win!  So let's dive right into it!

Fanduel DFS NBA Lineup Jan. 3, 2017

Hey there.  I made a post yesterday about providing you guys with a FanDuel lineup for the NBA Main slate of games and decided to make it a daily column.  Yesterday's post was fairly short and provided little to no information.  Posts going forward will provided at least a bit of insight as to why I chose the players in my lineup.  I'll also provide you with the results I got with the lineup given.  I can't guarantee that the lineups are winners and I won't claim to be a fantasy sports guru.  I simply do it for fun (and to make a few dollars on Fanduel) and I hope that you guys use this information to help build your own lineups.  So without further delay, let's get into it!

Fanduel DFS NBA Lineup Jan. 2, 2017

Hey there friends.  Let's start a daily fantasy basketball lineup thing!  I love fantasy sports and while I don't consider myself to be an expert, I have been able to come out about even in my fantasy sports lineups.  So, I've decided to share my lineups with you guys.  Today, I'll just share the lineup, but going forward, I'll try to give a little insight into why I'm choosing those players.  Hopefully, this series becomes something that you guys will love to see and will come back for more!  Just a little insight on this series:  the lineup will be for the Fanduel website and it will be for the Main NBA slate!  I will also try to have the final lineup go live approx. 30 minutes before the lineup locks, but I'll have my first lineup up early in the day.

Good luck, friends!

Three Reasons Neil Warnock is a Favorite in Yorkshire

Yorkshire is often described by those who live there as God’s own country - and it’s certainly a county that’s good at producing classics; whether it’s parkin, Yorkshire Tea or Neil Warnock, one of the most prolific coaches in the Premier League and one of Yorkshire’s favourite sons.

With stints at many of the region’s smaller football clubs as well as Leeds Utd and a couple of London clubs, Warnock has built a loyal following of football fans. A real character, he’s been involved in plenty of disputes with many players, clubs and other people, which some put down to his Yorkshire temperament.

Fanduel is Simply Awesome for Fantasy Sports

Hey there.  I love sports.  Though my basketball team and football team are horrible this year (Raiders haven't won a game this season and the Lakers notched their 2nd win of the season last night), it doesn't stop me from enjoying the games.  I'm a fan of the sport so it really doesn't matter to me who's on the screen as long as it's a good game.  But why not take it step further?  Why not make watching a little more interesting?  This is why I love fantasy sports.  I've been playing fantasy football for a few years now and I can honestly say that since I started playing, my enjoyment of the NFL has increased.  Because I can pick and choose players from many teams to create my fantasy team, I end up following more games, I end up being exposed to different styles of play, and I end up appreciating what other teams are doing.  The same applies to fantasy basketball or any other fantasy sport that you may look into getting.  Because I choose players from many different teams, I tune in to see how they are doing.  And I'm not the only one.  It's why sites like Fanduel do so well.  You can play for free, but you can also plop down a dollar and see how you do.  Well... I recently accepted an offer from Fanduel to play a cash game for free.  Why not, I said.  Well... this is what happened from that free game...

NFL Week 8 Power Rankings

The NFL regular season approaches the halfway mark in Week 8 with no undefeated teams and a wide open Super Bowl betting field.

2014 NFL Week 5 Metal Power Rankings

Hey there.  Week 4 is now in the books and the top 3 teams in my power rankings didn't budge even though they were all on bye weeks.  It just comes to show you that the top 3 are definitely in a class of their own (stunning since the Bengals are right there with the Broncos and Seahawks!)    Last week's games had more stunning upsets!  The Bucs winning over the Steelers?  Who knew?!  The Chiefs putting a beat down on the Patriots!  And the Giants finally getting it together to drop a 40 burger on Washington.  Oh man...  Another great week of games and let's hope for more to come!  I went 3-3 this week.   (19-17 overall).  Still over .500!  lol  Now, on to the rankings!

2014 NFL Week 3 Metal Power Rankings

Hey there.  Week 2 is now in the books and we more than a few surprises after 2 weeks.  Who would have thought that the Saints would be 2-0?  Antonio Gates catches 3 TDs against the Seahawks defense?  Eagles are down 20-6 to the Colts in the 3rd quarter and come back to win 30-27?  And injuries, injuries, injuries...  RGIII, Jamaal Charles, AJ Green, and Vernon Davis just to name a few.  Wow... what season this is shaping up to be!  I went 5-5 last week (11-9 overall).  Many surprises in last week's games so I'll take it! I'm still over .500 so I can't complain.  lol  Now let's see if your team made it into my top 9.
