Athlete of the Month- Iron Mike...Adamle?
2009-08-13 13:39:00 Let's face it, if your name is Mike in Chicago, you have a lot to live up to. Ditka, Jordan, Royko...it ain't easy being a Mike in the Windy City.Mike Adamle has no problem stepping up the plate with his Mikeness. He just does it in a quiet fashion, with honor and humility. If the name sounds familiar, our Mike has been around Chicago for a long time. He's a Northwestern grad who played for Da' Bears, hosted the original (and best) American Gladiators and now works as a sports anchor for NBC 5. Adamle is as Chicago as, dare I say it...Da Coach.While he will never have his own shoe contract or cigar named after him, Adamle's goals are...

Gary: Clown, Athlete, Muscle Man
2009-03-14 15:36:00 Gary comes to Allamericanguys from the state of Mississippi, although he was born in Alabama. He also comes from a large family; he has four sisters and one brother. Ever since he was young, he's always wanted to be an actor. Why? Well, Gary admits to always being the center of attention from early on in life, and was always the class clown. He says he likes to make people laugh. He didn't think he had the look for modeling, but enough people told him he should try it and so he's giving it a shot.Some of Gary's hobbies include fishing, riding dirt bikes and weight lifting. He's quite athletic and received a full scholarship to play baseball at the collegiate level, however, was seriously hurt playing baseball (torn cartilage in his shoulders). So Gary's looking to see where modeling and possibly acting will take him.Hobbies: FishingFavorite movies: Dumb and DumberFavorite food: Sloppy Joe'sFavorite sport: FootballFavorite singer: Chris CagleFavorite color: BlueMost admired bo...

China Olympics Athlete Blog List And Why No Chinese Magic Johnson?
2008-08-15 14:23:00 Got an email this morning asking me why I was not writing more on the Olympics. Main reason is because I am vacationing in Pentwater, Michigan, placing me about 1800 miles from my 50" HDTV and forcing me to watch it on a 21" circa 1970s model. But, I have asked co-blogger, Steve Dickinson, who is in Qingdao right now, to give us all a report on the Olympic goings-on there. Expect that soon. In the meantime, Danwei has a great list of Olympic Athletes who are blogging on the games. But I feel compelled to discuss one thing I have noticed in watching the Olympics and that is that China's basketball team does not have a single point guard worth a damn and I have to wonder why. Is it further evidence of the shortcomings of a planned economy? Does China pull out the great athletes for other sports, leaving only tall people for basketball? Is it further evidence of a lack of innovation or take-chargedness (I know I am making up this word, but it works) in China? Great point...

Athlete Reactions to the Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan Plea Deal

Craig wouldn't have done this normal. He wasn't that nuts. The drugs got to him. The recreational drugs - I feel - had something to do with it. It was a bad situation. It's a terrible tragedy not only with the girl who died [Melissa James] but with Kelly and Craig. I admired what he did with his career for a long time. We got our pro status the same year, in '96. He won the NPC USAs, I won the NPC Nationals. He was a marketable guy when I was up and coming. In '92, '93, '94 - he was kind of what bodybuilding was all about. He had the All-American look I was trying to go for. We all know Craig was crazy. We've seen all his escapades,...

Think of Yourself An Athlete to Lose Fat
2008-04-27 07:00:00 If you have never thought of yourself as an athlete or very athletic, I urge you to get over that now. Especially if you have ever used that as an excuse to dodge exercise or in any way avoid moving your body. Like declining to take part in recreation, games, dancing, any exercise or movement, because you believe you are not athletic, and will not do well. If you fall into this category, from now on I want you to think of yourself as an athlete. Because you are, no matter how big a klutz or how non-athletic you think you are. You are an athlete and I encourage you to treat yourself like an athlete. And that means getting regular physical exercise. Training, working out, practice, drilling, repetitions, whatever you want to call it. Dedicated athletes never miss their workouts, their practice. Follow that pattern and you will see fat melt from your body, I promise you. It is one of the most effective fat loss techniques I know of. I have personally gotten remarkable fat loss result...

No Anthony Carmelo! Denver Nugget Star Arrested for DUI
2008-04-18 03:58:00 Denver, Colorado - April 14, 2008. The Denver Nuggets’ All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested for DUI. Police allegedly witnessed Carmelo weaving and failing to dim his headlights. According to Detective Sharon Hahn, Melo did not successfully complete the field sobriety tests. Melo was then arrested and transported to the police station for further processing. During the investigation Melo did submit to a blood test to determine his blood alcohol content. This is a disappointing story given that Melo was such a fantastic addition to the NBA. He is charming, loves the game and is extraordinarily talented. Melo does get kudos for immediately issuing a statement of regret, “I want to apologize to my family, fans and the Denver Nuggets organization for my actions early Monday morning. As a leader, I know they expect a lot from me and I regret putting myself in this situation. I also want to apologize to my teammates for the distraction this has caused.” However, how muc...

De cumplirse estas previsiones, se desplazaría 100 veces más rápido que los vehículos de la Mars E...

A St. Patrick’s Day Salute To The Black-Irish Athlete
2008-03-17 08:02:00 As if the falling housing market, rising gas prices, and overall gloomy outlook for the economy weren’t reason enough to go out and get smashed, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. I would bet that 95% of Americans don’t know who Saint Patrick was or why we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. They don’t care either. A day dedicated to drinking alcohol doesn’t need an explanation. This year, while celebrating the life of St. Patrick and wonderful Irish creations such as the potato and alcohol poisoning, we should be thankful for another Irish product. Black-Irish athletes. Everybody makes a big deal out of black athletes or African-American athletes, but when do you ever hear about the plight of the Blirish athlete? Nobody ever talks about where sports would be without the contributions of Willie O’Ree or Jackie Robinson. We’re trying to change that at YBB and we hope you’ll join us in honoring these men.

Thomas: The Strong Athlete from Berlin
2008-03-01 22:09:00 Thomas is one of those guys who're obviously born for bodybuilding. The 21-year-old muscle hunk from Berlin, Germany, is one of the most popular models of Athletic-Men.com and Muscle-Teens.com. At the age of 14 Thomas got interested in weight lifting, at the age of 17 he started training regularly. He was inspired by the movies of the eighties with Jean Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since then he has bulked up a lot: His pecs and shoulders are huge, his abs are perfect, his thighs are massive. He's admired most for his upper arms. But Thomas is reserved and modest. He's not satisfied with his calves and wants to improve them. His workout secrets: "There're no secrets", he says. "Lift hard, always give 100 percent, be patient, and always enjoy your workout".In Thomas' case it's surely all natural. He isn't interested in steroids at all. He isn't interested in competing on stage either. But to be once on the cover of a big fitness and bodybuilding magazine would...
Yao's Injury May Keep China's Favorite Athlete Out of Olympics
2008-02-27 12:29:00 By Wing-Gar ChengFeb 27, BloombergChinese sports fans may spend the next five months tracking medical bulletins after Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture in his left foot that might keep him out of the Beijing Olympics.The Houston Rockets said yesterday the 7-foot-6 Yao will miss the rest of the National Basketball Association season because of the injury. He'll be sidelined for about four months before beginning his rehabilitation in the weeks leading up to the Aug. 8 opening ceremony in Beijing.Yao's loss would deprive the Olympics host of one of its most recognizable sports stars internationally and most popular domestically. It would also harm China's chances of winning its first basketball medal and, according to the player, represent the biggest setback of his career.``If I cannot play for my country in the Olympics this time, that would be my biggest loss,'' Yao, 27, said at a news conference late yesterday.Interest in basketball in China has spiraled since the Rockets s...

Decathlon Secrets: World’s Greatest Athlete - Day 2
2008-02-19 15:58:00 This post was guest blogged by Kenneth Edwards Jr. of Championship Circle. These are the events on Day 2. Day 1 events was covered yesterday. Jimson’s Note: I agree with the first 9 points. I must disagree on the 10th and final point on the 1500 meters. Decathlon Day 2 It won’t take long being around the Decathlon before you’ll realize that the second day of the Decathlon can make or break you. It is a day full of technical challenges and endurance. Most Decathletes find this day to be the hardest to score highly in. Not only do the events take a lot of skill, but you are battling with fatigue and mental challenges as well. 110m High Hurdles A test of technique, agility, flexibility, and speed. In life, there are many obstacles that keep you from getting to your goals and these 10 hurdles stand in your way when you start the second day of the decathlon.

Decathlon Secrets: World’s Greatest Athlete - Day 1
2008-02-19 03:58:00 This post was guest blogged by Kenneth Edwards Jr. of Championship Circle. These are the events on Day 1. Day 2 events will be covered tomorrow. The Decathlon crowns the World’s Greatest Athlete. Why? Because the Decathlon is a true test of every attribute of an athlete. The Decathlon tests strength, mental toughness, consistency, commitment, technique, speed movements, jumping ability, flexibility, throwing ability, technique, hand-eye & hand-implement coordination, explosive power, endurance, agility, heart, and much more. There is no other single event that tests the ability and talent of a person in every way as the Decathlon does. So, what are the secrets to success in this challenging and grueling event? Firstly, you must look at each event and determine… What does it take to be great at that event? What are the fundamentals to success in that event? What is the consistent key across the board, regardless of technique that makes champions in that event? Decat...
