Other - Sports - August 2007

hi - I am a 45 year old male.

in 2003 - I had an injury where I ended up with 4 severely rotated vertebrae, and I have been in physical therapy since. I just finished the supervised physical therapy in March 2007 - I started walking on my own in June 2006, and I think by next year sometime I should be done with physical therapy in general and then I plan to train to be an athlete of some kind. I am trying to find a sport that I can compete in, that will also be able to be where I can make a living doing it. I am not sure what that might be.
I don't know of any sports where you can really compete being older, and still make enough to live on - except for maybe golf, which I am not proficient at, at the current time.
I know this seems like a crazy idea, but I feel somewhat led in this direction, but I'm not sure why or what I could even do..
thanks

People of all ages place sport heroes on pedestals. They admired and dream of being on such a pedestal, yet many sports heroes are also seen in the news being arrested for possession of drugs, bar room brawls, and driving while intoxicated. Do sports heroes have the right to private lives? What is your opinion? Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper stating your position and supporting it with convincing reasons.

Or most women's sports in general? Would you rather have your eyes periodically poked with blunt objects rather than have to watch this crap like me?

I'm going into 8th grade, and when I go to high school I want to try out for cross country. I'm already a pretty good sprinter, and I'm an average miler (9-minute miles).
Does anyone have tips on how to get better so I can make the team?

With the plea agreement being worked out, it is indicated that although he is suspended from the NFL and will most likely be imprisoned, there is a likelihood that he will return to football after his prison sentence is served. In a statement made, it was expressly indicated that he did not 'bet' on the outcome of the fights as this would render him unable to return. Now, look at Pete Rose, he denied, then later admitted that he gambled and bet on baseball, although not on the teams he was involved with at the time. He has been banned for life from baseball and can never be admitted to the Hall of Fame for all that he did do right in the sport. He bet, but never harmed another living thing by doing it. Shouldn't Vick be subjected to the same criteria as Pete Rose? Should the NFL look to the MLB for their lead in such a case?

Stephon Marbury a NBA star, while promoting his new shoes defends Michael Vick, calls dogfighting a sport. Making stupid comment like that, I'm not buying his new shoes. Anyone else with me? Why do ppl who are pro dogfights compare hunting deer and killing cows to killing dogs related to dogfights. Do they not understand that dogs are different from deers and cow?

I know they lost to Argentina in the previous olympics, but if you look at the Argentinian roster, their only stars are Manu Ginobli, Andres Nocioni, and Francisco Oberto. Those three players are only mediocre compared to the others in the NBA. So why did the US team lose to mediocre NBA players?
