Why the Michigan Wolverines Need to Step Up
If you’re a big Michigan fan and you’ve seen how the
football team played last year, you would know what I mean when I say that the
Wolverines need more than just a sterling group of coaches. In the history of
the Big Ten, Michigan has been head to head with Ohio State, Penn State, and
Nebraska, but in the preseason polls and playoff projections, Michigan is not
even accounted for. Monday, May 13, 2013
The Phillies Clinch a Berth!
So the Flyers clinch a playoff berth after losing 10 in a
row after the all star break. The team has been crushed with injuries to
players such as Hatcher, Gagne, and now even Briere. Briere was a late scratch
from tonight's game, and the Flyers elevated their play to make up for Danny
not being there. The Flyers scored two goals in the third period to take a
three nothing lead, and then Marty Brodeur was pulled. The Flyers faithful
chanted Marty, Marty, Marty for the next five or ten minutes or so....but they
say it was for Marty Biron, who happens the be the Flyers goaltender who shut
out the Devils tonight. The Flyers faithful watched the Panthers shock the
Hurricanes, which gave their hometown Flyers a playoff berth. The atmosphere
was great tonight, and look for the Flyers to do big things come playoff time.

Barry Bonds Plaque is Stolen!
A spokeswoamn from the San Francisco Giants stated that they would be looking into video they have of the stadium, but it doesn't appear that they have found anything yet. Maybe they should ask Mayapolis.
All of this drama seems to have reopened a healing scar of the Barry Bonds story, and many people are asking now if they should even put a new one up in the first place? Much of this drama seems to have the city of San Francisco divided. Barry Bonds will frequently return to AT&T Park a receive both standing cheers and boos from the crowds.

Adjusting to lane conditions
Last issue we discussed customizing your ball surface, this
week we will cover adjusting to different lane conditions.
One of the biggest differences I see between professionals
and really good amateur players is the ability to adjust and read lane
conditions quickly.
In most league situations the house shot is usually around
the second arrow with more oil towards the middle of the lane. In bowling you
want to play in an area of the lane that is most forgiving to maximize your
scoring potential. If the area right of second arrow is very dry, you want to
move a little left (for righthanders) or more to the right (for lefthanders);
this will enable you to set your ball down where there is more lane conditioner
(oil), and catch the dry area a little later. What you are looking for is a
little mistake area to the right and to the left.
If you must be perfect and have only one board (at the
target area) you probably are lined up improperly or may have chosen the wrong
piece of equipment. Once you have selected a ball that gives you the kind of
reaction you are looking for, remember you will have to move as your league
session progresses. Try to always follow the lane conditioner (oil line).
Example: First game you are standing on the 20 board and
your target is the second arrow, you're hitting the pocket and then around the
middle of the first game you start going high on the head pin. Adjustment: Make
a 2-1 move left (for righthanders) two boards with your feet and 1 board with
your target. Remember to always move in the direction that you are missing the
pocket. If your ball is not getting up to the pocket, move to the right and if
you are missing the pocket to the left, move to the left (for
righthanders).
Today the reactive resin and particle shell balls have such
aggressive shells that they make the lanes change more rapidly as a result you
may have to make a lot of adjustments during a league session.
Learn to get comfortable with playing different angles. A
good bowler should be able to play as deep as 4th and sometimes 5th arrow and
also be able to play outside the first arrow. Most league conditions won't
require these extreme angles but the more tournament play you compete in the
more you will be required to play these angles.

Betting Scandal Deppens
The investigations that police undertook into the round 24
clash between the Bulldogs and the Cowboys that started this betting
controversy, has suddenly become a whole lot more complex than first thought.
The NSW police have now pinpointed several persons of interest behind the
betting scandal according to a Skips’s Sports Blog insider.
Three Cowboys players, who are to remain nameless for the
time being for legal reasons have been named in material obtained by NSW State
Crime Command detectives. However, we have good information that the three
players are in fact Willie Mason, Aaron Payne and Cowboys Captain Jonathan
Thurston. Bulldogs player, Ryan Tandy is on notice and is set to be sacked from
his club after the Grand Final.
It is alleged that the Cowboys players all face similar
fates in that they are to receive life bans from the NRL following the Grand
Final after the Police have traced money back to several accounts and after
viewing video footage.
According to video footage, Payne pointed to the posts to
take the 2 points after Tandy had given away a penalty for his side. Others
involved are ex-player Hassan Saleh, who lives with Ryan Tandy, Thurston’s
manager Sam Ayoub and John Elias. Elias has already been in trouble for a
betting scandal in the early nineties and is being questioned by police along
with Andrew Johns for this incident.
