Even Jordan needs a part-time job in this economy

Michael Jordan bets attendants at a golf tournament that he can hit the greens on a par 3 hole. Watch MJ take the money and RUN! Never bet against Jordan PERIOD regardless of the sport. A guy that competes at the level that he has needs very little motivation to SUCCEED!

Inspired Japan defeats Team U.S.A.

Carrying the weight of a devastated nation, Japan prevails during penalty kicks (3-1) to win the 2011 Women's World Cup. Japan had never beaten a U.S. women's soccer team 0-22-3. Finding themselves down twice during the match Japan managed to tie the game 2-2 during the late stages of the match. The U.S. had just pulled a miracle act themselves coming from behind to defeat Brazil one week ago during the penalty kick stage. Japan set the tone with Kaihori stopping the first U.S. PK attempt by Shannon Boxx(7). Abby Wambach was the lone U.S. player to score a penalty goal. This would not be a repeat of the 1999 finals. The focus now shifts to the qualifying rounds for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Wambach late Heroics leads Team U.S.A. over Brazil

Abby Wambach's late goal(2-2) fueled Team U.S.A. as they outscored Brazil during penalty kicks 5-3. The next opponent is Japan on Sunday. The U.S. has NEVER lost to Japan 22-0-3. This teams reminds me a lot of the 1999 title team.

Carl Joseph is a living inspiration

Carl Joseph was a multiple sport athlete in high school and went on to play college football at Bethune-Cookman College. What's so inspirational about that? He did it all on one leg! He is living proof that with determination and will power anything is possible. Words cannot explain this story you must see it for yourself.

Revenge Fuels Mavericks to a NBA Championship

The Dallas Mavericks have captured the 2011 NBA Finals and avenged a 2006 finals meltdown by beating the Miami Heat 4-2.Forward Dirk Nowitzki played like the MVP he was during the finals minutes of several games.Dirk and Jason Kidd has just made themselves both first ballot hall of famers by winning that elusive ring. Kidd has achieved this feat by returning to team that drafted him second overall in the 1994 draft (after being traded to Phoenix and New Jersey).

This makes the second finals that LeBron James have played in. His record in the NBA Finals is 2-8. If James wants to make good on his promise to the people of South Beach, he must find a way to become relevant in the second half of games.
