Hopefully Seattle, but I doubt Bavasi is willing to dish out that much dough.

I'm very skinny and slender and im about 6'4''. I am pretty strong, but I was wondering, can skinny people do well in wrestling? I wanted to try it out, the problem is im just about 178lbs and have a pretty low body mass.

I have an inexpensive aluminum Schwinn road bike (yes I know) with 700c wheels. The ride is extremely rough (I'm coming from a full suspension mountain bike). The tail is not too bad but jars to the front actually hurt my hands.

How much would a carbon fiber fork dampen my ride. Also, would a carbon fiber handle bar help even more. I've found a fork set that will fit my bike for less than $100. A cabon fiber handle bar will run closer to $200. Plus if I'm going that far I may as well get a carbon fiber seat post as well. What would doing all this do for my ride?

This bike has a decent frame and all Shimano derailers/cassette/crank. It weighs in at just under 24 pounds soaking wet. It could be an awesome bike regardless of what some say (it's pretty good right now except for the ride).

I think that the Steelers are taking the Pat's road to be the next dynasty. They one the Super Bowl, unexpecdedly, just like when the Pat's beat the Rams for their first one. Then the next year the Pat's weren't too good and missed the playoffs, probably like the Steelers this year (unfortinally). Then the Pat's won the Super Bowl the next two years. With the talent the Steelers have (Big Ben, Willie Parker, Hines Ward, etc.) that is deffinitly a probibilty. Any thoughts?

First of all, I am a big NBA fan. In 90s, I remember being excited to watch all the great NBA games on NBC. At the intro before games, they always played very exciting, pumping music.
Does anyone know the title of NBA on NBC theme song? Also, do you know where I can download the song?

Yo man, me and my guys have a Madden League. And last year we were using a different system to determine divisions, conferences, and ties. But this year we done switched up and started using the NFL's real tiebreaker and division/conference seeding system. Which has caused some confusion. Last season things like yards and production broke ties. Now its based on your division record and for the playoffs its based on your conference record to bust the tie open. The question is, can one division send three teams to the playoffs and take both Wild Card spots?

The scenario is that this is the last week of our League's season and the Bengals, Ravens, and Steelers have the same records. Cincy is in first cuz of their record against the AFC North. The Ravens and Steelers are tied for second place. Both those teams have the best records in the AFC out of all the 2nd place teams and everybody else who arent in 1st place. So could they all make it yall?

If Russell stays, I think they will. If not, I think they will finish somewhere in the top ten, and may get a BCS game.
What do you think?

First, I must say that it is my experienced opinion that Fitness First in the Philippines, i.e., Metro-Manila, Makati, etc, cannot be trusted. A friend of mine joined them in 2004. He gave Fitness First a TERMINATION notice, in writing, because he did not like their facilities.. So Fitness First did as he requested at first...and froze his account pending account termination. But at the 12 month, i.e. contract end point did they cancel his account? No way. Instead they re-started his account and billed him another 16 months beyond his one year contract at FULL PRICE. Honest mistake on their part? I doubt it considering the existence of the written request plus all of the resistance he is facing now. When he requested a refund from Fitness First, they first claimed to have lost his request to cancel. So he produced it. Then they claimed that it cannot be reversed because he was not proactive on reversing it when they charged him. He protested and pointed out that he produced a termination notice with their signature on a receiving copy. They still are saying 'no' because they froze it, even though he clearly requested termination.
So let me get this straight...Fitness First won't give a refund because they over-billed a client and when he asks them to fix their mistake, they claim it's his fault?
Fitness First Philippines, it is my opinion and the opinion of many that you are scum. It's bad enough that I've rarely, if ever seen your clients get results in your gym. When people join your gym they are expected to hire a personal trainer at an additional Php770 per session. I HAVE NOT ONCE MET A FITNESS FIRST TRAINER WITH A CLUE. If they did, maybe some of the people working out there would get noticeable results. Now, just because it appears to myself and others that your company continues to lose money in Manila Philippines, you feel that it's your right to fool your members? This is the way it appears to anyone who has seen this evidence from my friend. Don't you feel that it's your obligation to do the right thing before you are faced with a class-action lawsuit?
The truth will come out about all of the people who have been exposed to this apparent trickery. So to all of the Fitness First members who are trying to get out of their contracts, and there are dozens based on people who have e-mailed me for help, my advice is simple - call your credit card company and tell them that your credit card was stolen. They will cancel your credit card and Fitness First won't be able to bill you anymore.

So that's it. Beware of Fitness First and don't give them your credit card. There's a reason they demand it from you and refuse to let you pay in cash now. Haven't you ever noticed that all of the workers and consultants in their head office don't appear to work out themselves? When I see a bunch of pasty managers with their bellies spilling over their belts whenever I've been there, something is very wrong with this supposed 'Fitness' company. Mark my words...Fitness First will be gone from the Philippines in a few years. People already know that their so-called trainers usually immediately put you on their crappy second-rate machines and you won't get results. Look around at how many people are working out in their clubs but appear to have never entered a gym for a day in their lives. Most people quit after a few weeks yet...they have your credit card for the whole year and you can't get out of your contract. Even then you run the risk of being billed beyond 12 months, EVEN WHEN YOU REQUEST TO QUIT IN WRITING. Php30,000 for no results is not worth it. Before you join Fitness First, consider that there are better options. TAKE YOUR TIME AND LOOK AROUND. DON'T PAY FOR A GYM WITH A NAME ONLY BUT NO SERVICE OR RESULTS TO BACK UP THEIR NAME.

Don't make the mistake of joining FITNESS FIRST for serious or realistic results. It's not for people looking for serious change in my experienced opinion. Is Php30,000 really worth losing by not listening to me here? Ask some of their current or previous members you know. Research and do your homework before you take a risk with them. You might be surprised at how negative most people are about them. Finally, do the people that you ask or their members that you see actually look like they work out? I see many fat girls and stick boys carrying their bags all of the time...and they never seem to change. If the answer for you is also a 'no', I've made my point, regardless of their questionable dealings with my friend.

This really makes me mad, the o-line gets no credit at all. Without a good o-line, no RB could be good. Look at Edge for example, at Indy he was considered one of the best (because of his line) now at Arizona he ...... well you get the point. Now Addai is haveing a great year with Indy, maybe Arizona should blow a lot of money on a trade for him. Another example is Denver. They have had a lot of different RB's and all have been 1000 yard rushers these last few years. I know they havent been as good this year but still... I know that this is just the way it is, and the skill positions get all the glory; but remember, with out the big boys, skill positon players would be S.O.L
