For only $149 fanatical parents can
find out where their children's natural athletic talents lie, potentially securing years of enjoyable Saturday mornings on the sidelines cheering on their winning kids.
The new genetic test analyzes DNA to determine whether a child would excel more in endurance sports, such as cross country running, speed and power sports, like football and sprinting, or whether they'd be good at both.
Predetermining a kid's talents before he or she experiences athletic activities seems like it could limit chances for childhood fun.
The Lakers kicked off its NBA season last night and it was, as it always is, a star-studded event. There were gorgeous men lining the court and although some of the fans were there to socialize and be seen, a lot of them were there for the love of the game — Leo and Jack to name a few!
Guys who love sports have always been attractive to me.
Doubles partners Dann and Brian Battistone are double trouble in more ways than one. Not only are they brothers, but they also both play
with two-handled tennis racquets. Equipped with forked handles, these swatters were designed with fitness in mind, to work both sides of the body equally.
Lance Armstrong announced that he's coming back to the Tour de France next year, and he plans on
mixing in some charity work on behalf of the Clinton Global Initiative while he's in Paris. Well France's anti-doping chief wants to add something else to Lance's agenda: clearing his name.

issue a posthumous pardon of professional boxer, and one of the first celebrity athletes, Jack Johnson. When Jack Johnson became the first-ever black heavyweight boxing champion in 1908, many in the country went looking for "The Great White Hope" — a white boxer who could defeat Johnson.

Earlier this summer at a charity flag-football game thrown by Allen Iverson, Josh Howard (these men are all basketball players, apparently) made a

Football season is officially upon us, which for fans everywhere means that Sunday and Monday nights have taken on a whole new meaning. If you're in relationship with a die-hard football fan, suddenly plans and even moods are determined by a team, a game, and a loss.
Remember in
Sex and the City when Samantha dates that guy who will only have sex with her if his team wins?
You may or may not be a football fan, but chances are high you've heard of
Tom Brady, the boyfriend of supermodel Gisele Bundchen. In his first game of the season,
Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots, limped off the field, and folks are speculating that he's torn his ACL. An MRI will help determine the diagnosis and extent of his injury.
The triumph of non-native English speakers, who won three LPGA majors this year, indicates that speaking English is not a required skill on the golf course. Even so, the international women's pro-golf association announced a policy recently that would
