History of Football
Football, also known as soccer, is a sport that has a rich and fascinating history that spans over 2,000 years. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, and China, where versions of the game were played with a ball and a goal. However, the modern version of football as we know it today began to take shape in England during the 19th century.

SARAVANA VIRATPublished about a year ago in Unbalanced1 vs 8 or Divisional: Which Stanley Cup Playoff Format is Better?
For hockey fans, the road to the Stanley Cup is a fun one. Stressful and nail-biting, yes, but fun. The Stanley Cup Playoffs serves as the best sports stretch on the calendar year; after a wild 82-game season, an even wilder 16-team postseason begins in mid-April and ends with the Stanley Cup awarded in mid-June. There is never a debate regarding how fun the Stanley Cup Playoffs are, because it is immensely exciting to watch 16 teams fight for the greatest prize in sports. The debate, however, is centered on the format.

On April 5, 1984, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hit his patented "skyhook" from 15 feet against the Utah Jazz. That shot increased his career point total to 31,420, making Kareem the highest scoring player in NBA history, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain. Kareem would add 6,967 more points for his career, giving him a grand total of 38,387 in his stellar career. He had been the all-time leading scorer ever since that evening in 1984, and that exact total stood as the standard-bearer since Kareem's career ended in 1989. Other legends have come since then, players such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dirk Nowitzki, but none have come close to Kareem's number. Karl Malone was the closest, but he would fall 1,459 points short.

Funny story; a fear I had when watching hockey as a kid was that I wouldn't be able to find the puck, hence why I was grateful to the NHL on FOX for giving us the glow puck. I never thought I'd be into hockey as much as I am now. And no, it wasn't because I'm Black. Mainly, it was because I didn't have cable as a kid. Basketball, baseball, and football were available daily without cable, but hockey really wasn't. I followed everything via the sports section and only watched the All-Star Game because it was on a non-cable channel. When I got cable in 1997, I watched more hockey...way more.
