Most tennis players start playing as soon as they become taller than the racket, but Austin Lavallii didn’t start until the age of 15 and still managed to excel in the sport and coach it as well.

Athlete of the Week: Amanda Craig
Amanda Craig first joined rowing because it took her from indoor air-conditioned courts to the beautiful outdoor nature. “I played basketball and volleyball, and being outdoors in nature was something different than I was used to,” said Craig. Originally from Berlin, New Jersey, Craig followed her sister’s footsteps and decided to row in high school. […]
On the Bench: “Yankee Stadium: Ghosts of Yankees past”
Just exactly how much is a piece of history worth? I guess it depends on who is bidding and why they want it. How much are letters spelling out “Yankee Stadium” worth? They had hung over the main gate of the old stadium. I have been running these questions through my mind, and I have […]

Public breastfeeding: a mother’s right to free the nipple
Companies use billboards, TV commercials, magazine ads and even female restaurant employees who expose as much cleavage as possible — while, of course, leaving enough to the imagination to create a sense of mystery — to seduce men into buying their products, eating at their restaurants and seeking their services. Men flock to Hooters not […]
Roasting is glorified bullying
Roasting is the modern equivalent of the medieval public flogging. And, by roasting, I don’t mean to slow cook in the oven, although the process and end result is essentially the same: the subject is put on fire and emerges fully-cooked at the expense of ravenous bystanders.
