April Denise StuartPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedMy Sports Heroes - (Borje Salming)
Dear Borje Salming, Thank you for being a hero of mine. I admire your courage and work ethic. You have inspired me to be a better 'me' and to be more diligent in my training for sports and for life. You are from a community and a family that definitely knows the meaning and importance of hard work. I understand how difficult it must have been for you to lose your father at such a young age. My father also died suddenly when I was nine years old. You persevered however, and became arguably the best player to have ever played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and certainly one of the best in the league. That is a testament to your determination and inner strength. I have learned a lot from your story.

It always seems to be something with the Edmonton Oilers, especially in this current era. The Oilers are coming off finishing 2nd in the makeshift North Division last season, but it saw them swept out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs' opening round by the Winnipeg Jets, adding to their recent list of playoff disappointments. In what proved to be another blow against the "North Division sucks" narrative that plagued the previous season, the Oilers got off to a strong start, going 16-5-0 in their first 21 games, leaving many to suddenly believe that the team could contend for a Stanley Cup this season.

Basketball Town NewsPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedA Look Back: New Year's Revolution 2005's Elimination Chamber Match
If there was ever an underrated regular pay-per-view, it was New Year's Revolution. I immensely remember WWE adding that PPV to their collection of events, and while I never read why it was added, I do have my theories. For one, New Year's Revolution made the wait for the Royal Rumble easier, as the gap between the December PPV (Armageddon) and the Rumble was very large--about six weeks! Secondly, Raw's last solo PPV was October's Taboo Tuesday, and their last participation in one was the dual-branded Survivor Series. So Raw needed another solo show on the road to WrestleMania, and that's where New Year's Revolution came in. The event only lasted three years, but the first one, taking place on January 9, 2005, gave us a very epic main event. But first, the backstory.
