Word of the Day

Ballyhoo (n., bal-ee-HOOOOOOO)

A Baltimore-based rock band with punk energy and pop reggae grooves or a small pointy-nosed fish used for bait or, most commonly, a clamorous uproar, which sounds a lot like the band and nothing like the fish.

How to tackle like the Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are back in the Super Bowl. I enjoy watching the Seahawks for a lot of reasons but one of the top ones is the way they tackle. If you watch a Seahawks game, you will see very few missed tackles. Turns out that the Seahawks use rugby-influenced tackling principles to help them make sound, physical tackles each time. They've released a video of their techniques, which is well worth watching.
