Best Soccer Goalies of 2018
If you were to rank soccer positions by importance, where would goalie place among the 11 players on the pitch? One should assume that goalie would be somewhere near the top of that list. Though it is the last line of defense from scoring by the other team, the performance, speed, and dexterity of the goalie determines whether or not the goal is ultimately scored. A good shot stopper is the last man back for a team when all else fails. Though the scoring process in soccer may seem to be the least sophisticated and the simplest in team sports, proper goaltending can make it quite difficult. As a truly global sport, it comes with no surprise that there is a great wealth of goaltending talent around the world to consider, especially in the World Cup this past year. While people will knock heads over things like the greatest goalkeepers of all time, it is a bit more productive to consider some of the most impressive soccer goalies of 2018.

The Best Hockey Sticks for Defensemen
No two hockey players are the same; and indeed, no two positions or skills require the same strengths. Were this the case, all hockey players would use the same stick. Rather, finding the best stick for the player is a matter of personal preference and skill.

Best Soccer Balls for Juggling
If you can juggle a soccer ball or are looking to learn to juggle, there are many soccer balls that can help you do just that. In fact, the secret in juggling is not necessarily in the ball, but in your skills. It is all about alternating feet, using high knees as well as your dominant foot to kick the ball high in the air, and finding ways to control the ball in the air so it doesn’t hit the ground. To do all this, you’ll need the perfect soccer ball for juggling that keeps its air retention, holds its shape, and lasts a long time as you move up the field towards the goal.

Week 12 Picks Against the Spread
The streak is over. After going over .500 for about a month with my picks, last week was the first sub .500 week in a while. I would like to thank the Atlanta Falcons for screwing me once again. I went against my own rule of never backing the Falcons and it came back to bite me, because of course it did.

Prediction: Adrien Broner Will Beat Pacquiao and Shock the World
Understandably, people have jumped off the Adrien Broner bandwagon. The antics and trouble with the law have been headlining news articles more than his accomplishments in boxing. As a follower of the sport, I’m well aware of this. So you may be asking how someone sees the American fighter coming out of this fight victorious. Well here’s how I see it. For one Pacquiao lately has been a part-time boxer. He’s more politician than fighter. At the end of the day, he’s still human. Balancing two important jobs like this has to take its toll. Sure he’s been winning, but you can only go to the well so many times till it starts to run dry.
