How Parity is Killing the NFL

Maybe I’m biased because I’m a Patriots fan, but parity is killing the NFL. Fans don’t like change, whether it’s with the rules, the players, or with the teams they love and hate.

But how can we hate them when most of them aren’t even leading their divisions, let alone showcasing winning records?

Michael Vick’s Big Night

The Theory of Baseball Evolution

As technology develops, humans are using it to get faster, bigger and stronger than ever before and its having an effect on the game of baseball – but not in the way that anyone could have ever imagined. Team sports, such as baseball, are measured in vastly different ways than individual sports such as track & field, golf, or swimming. As athletes become more proficient in their individual sports, we see records being broken all the time. A new fastest 100m dash, a new low course score, a new record every day.
