I mean doing theater is one thing, but when a guy is beating the bejesus out of your cheek bones, one must be a true fighter in order to cut it.

The football community in Pittsburgh and across the nation paused to honor the passing of L.C. Greenwood on September 29. As the powerful and dominant member of the Steelers’ “Steel Curtain” defense, Greenwood succumbed to kidney failure at age 67. Greenwood was an integral member of the dominant defensive force of the 1970s Steelers, and played a central role in the 1975 Super Bowl, which was the first for the Steelers. During Greenwood’s tenure with the team, he would help the Steelers win a total of four Super Bowls in just six years.
Size, speed and power were the central facets of Greenwood’s game, and his relentless style helped inspire defensive players for generations to come. Greenwood used his athletic ability to turn into a veritable sacking machine, retaining the speed and agility he showcased in college even after bulking up to 245 pounds to play professionally.

Golf as we know it today was invented in Scotland around 500 years ago.
Perhaps you remember that 2009 was something of a big year for swimming. In fact, more records were set in the Olympics that year in swimming, both men’s and women’s, than ever before in any other sport. And then FINA, the organization responsible for regulating Olympic swimming, banned the suits the swimmers wore who set all these records. Why? They claimed it was the suits, not the athletes, who were harder, better, stronger, and faster this year.
The new Olympic swimsuit doesn’t look like your average day-at-the-beach pink pair of plastic shorts. It looks more like a risqué version of a Matrix jumpsuit. And at a half an hour just to put the thing on, they’re definitely not designed for an everyday swim. They’re designed for something very specific: competition swimming. And they’re unlike anything else previously created.

Although some people may associate golfing with men, golf is an incredibly popular sport among women. In the United States, there are millions of women taking to the golf course each and every year.
