Sports - 7 January 2007

I've always wondered whether there were points that could be struck on the body (pressure points or vital points ) that would cause damage or some sort of reaction.

I don't have a martial arts background and one of my college friends, who is an amatuer boxer(or training to be), said that pressure point stuff was a load of crap.

Could anyone answer my question or guide me to the answer?

P.S. Please don't copy Wikipedia as an answer...

I know a sports agent can make a lot, but that seems like a real cut throat business. I am looking for a job where I can be the owner, but would appreciate all suggestions. I would like to be the boss so that I can have flexible hours. Thank You

I know that Every team has its rivals, and every fan has teams that they like and teams that they dislike but I am just curious about what others think on this question. I live in Colorado, and I am a Cowboys fan. It seems like almost all my friends, which are Broncos fans, hate the Cowboys. They never mention any other team except for the Raiders and the Chiefs and thats only because the Broncos, Raiders and Chiefs are rivals. Id probably like the Broncos a little more since i live in the same state if the fans werent so neagative towards the Cowboys. Is it because Dallas beat Denver in Super Bowl 12? If so, that doesnt make any sense considering the Redskins beat them 42-10 in '88 and then in '90, they got beat 55-10 by the 9'ers. Just a question Ive had for a while.

Do semi-automatic handguns have to be ****** just before the first time you fire, before everytime you fire, or not at all?

I got this Raliegh Legend bike from someone that owed me some money. The bike seems to be in good condition, I think that it is a girls bike because of the height and color(purple). I have no clue what it may be worth, but i would like to put an ad in the paper, and try to sell it. Any tips would be helpful, thanks. It also says Shimano Alivio on the bar near the seat.

was it just me who was ready to commit mass murder after the 'boys lost because of Romo's FG snap bobble? You cant really put ALL the blame on him, i mean it all happened so fast and with all that pressure it can be hard, but still..He should have held on to it after he got tackled.

I have a question about scoring. Lets say the RB fumbles the ball and the QB picks it up. Does the QB get points for a Fumble Recovery? I've never seen it awarded in the past, but was confused reading yahoo's scoring guidelines which vaguely state that any player offensively or not can receive points for their actions. Would love some help on this, causing a stink in the championship game of our league.

Thanks

does anyone else hate him? he claims he left LSU to coach miami because he had done everything he wanted for college football. he said he was a new opportunity. now we know he just did it for the money. the only reason he took the alabama job is because of his ego. he sucked with miami and he'll suck with alabama. no matter what coach alabama has they'll still suck.
