Documentary Review: 'You Cannot Kill David Arquette' A Love Letter to Pro Wrestling
David Arquette loves professional wrestling. For the actor best known for his work in the Scream horror franchise, wrestling is not some surreal art project or a mere cry for attention. Arquette legitimately loves and respects the artistry, athleticism, showmanship and bravery that is required of those who put on trunks and play out pre-determined athletic scenarios for crowds of people who hang on every move the way some hang on every note of a classical symphony.

Top 3 Clubs that Lionel Messi Could Sign In 2020
A crisis is a word that gets used too readily when a team hits some bad form, but one is developing rapidly at Barcelona. After losing their La Liga title to bitter rivals Real Madrid, they were served up, a Champion's League humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich. Barcelona were beaten 8-2 by the German giants in Lisbon, and now the Camp Nou club is in disarray. Manager Quique Setién got the sack along with sporting director Erik Abidal, losing by six goals simply isn't accepted at Barcelona. They're in danger of losing players, too, with defender Gerard Piqué volunteering to leave in a bid to help his club rebuild.

The Wealthiest Athletes of All Time
We’ve all got our own set of heroes when it comes to professional sport. If you’re a basketball fan, you might love LeBron James. If you’re into golf, you may have idolized Tiger Woods at some stage, and if you like tennis, it could be Roger Federer. But regardless of who our own personal superstars may be, there is one fact that justifies certain athletes as being some of the greatest in their sports - the numbers.

Final Four (Part 3 of 4)
When I decided to write about this whole experience, I did not intend for it to be made up of multiple parts. But once I started, I realized that there was a lot more to write about than I originally thought. And still, I’ve left a lot out. Looking back to what was technically the second round (first round for us) of the national tournament against Notre Dame College, I remember the general vibe was “great we get an extra game”. As I mentioned before, the conference championship was our big goal that season and after coming up short, it almost felt like our season ended there. But it didn’t.

Final Four (Part 2 of 4)
I learned a lot in my four years of soccer at the University of Pittsburgh. My soccer IQ increased drastically in my last 2 and a half years. Thinking back on it now, it’s absolutely insane that I got to play for a coaching staff of that caliber. I was recruited by mostly Division III schools in high school. I didn’t play for a very high-level club. The high school I went to was not on the map for soccer, at least not since the 90s. I got to Pitt mostly because, like my year at West Chester, things just seemed to fall into place.

Final Four (Part 1 of 4)
Highmark Stadium sits in the shadow of Mt. Washington on the south shore of the Monongahela River. Built in 2012 on the same ground that used to house the Chevrolet Amphitheatre, Highmark Stadium became the new home of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. It gave soccer a presence in Pittsburgh. I first stepped foot into Highmark Stadium some time in 2013. I started training there as a part of the Riverhounds Goalkeeper Academy. It was difficult to find consistent and quality technical goalkeeper training in the Pittsburgh area back then and the club I played for didn’t offer consistent goalkeeper training. I remember thinking about how cool it was that I got to train on that field.

Top 3 Biggest Upsets in Boxing History
Out of all the sports out there, Boxing is probably the one with the biggest upsets and surprise turns of events in history. As compared to the other sports, it has a relatively small world, and each and every emotion from the fights and their defining moments are more magnified for the fans. The wins feel sweeter, and the losses are that much more bitter. It’s because of this reason that some of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing are so heart-racing and exciting. They take the fans through the full spectrum of emotions and make them appreciate the sweet science all that much more.
