For many of todays athletes Hollywood is an appealing place. I mean who wouldn't want to do less hard work and earn more money without putting your body on the line on the field, court or pitch every day. While many famous athletes have attempted the transition to the big screen, very few have made a success out of it and fewer have been able to turn it into a career. So let's take a look at what I think are the Top 10 Best Athlete Actors.Begin Slideshow

"We're going streaking!," with those immortal words, Frank the Tank revealed to the world what most already know—a pastime within a pastime—streaking. Be it England or Estonia, America or Australia, Canada or Cameroon, one universal theme of sport which can occur within the venue of another sport is the true international phenomena known as streaking. Underdeveloped nations, developed nations, despotic nations all have their revelers in this class of person (athlete if you will) in a class all of their own. Balanced on a mixture of insanity and inebriation, fans of all sports—be it baseball, basketball, cricket, football, rugby, soccer (football ...

The common kitchen match. It's been around for nearly two centuries, essentially unchanged. Today's high-tech geniuses have not come up with a cheaper, safer, more portable source of fire. John Browning's Colt .45 auto-loading pistol. In an age where a missile can be guided through a knothole from outer space, Browning's 1911 design is still without peer in regard to efficiency and reliability. The Great White shark. No frills. No attractive lures. It sees what it wants and gets it. Over millennia, it has not changed or evolved. The perfect killing machine has no need to adapt. The beauty is in the simplicity. Since man first became ...

Cheerleaders are a misunderstood group, often stereotyped as being bubbly, pretty and dumb.

Here are 10 female celebrities that have proven that there’s nothing to be ashamed about their cheerleading past.Begin Slideshow

Every so often, we witness greatness in the sports world—Jordan's last shot, the Immaculate Reception, Kobe's 81 points, and the list can go on and on. Rarely, however, do we witness history in person. I, for one, can say that I was lucky enough to do so. Reader, I introduce you to Anas Damiri, a 23-year-old pharmacy student, avid Tennessee Volunteer fan, and tenacious eater. Sunday morning Anas calls me up and suggests we go eat and catch up since we haven't seen each other in a while. I agree, it has been a while and I could grab a bite to eat, ...

After a 16 year stay in Athletic Bilbao, Joseba Etxeberria says goodbye to football (or soccer if you like). His last official game was La Liga's Athletic vs. Deportivo, where he was substituted in the 70th minute and left the pitch in tears after hugging every player in it, from both his team and the other team. He received a standing ovation while he did. This match ended with a 2-0 win for Athletic with goals by Muniain (min 19) and Javi Martinez (min 77). Joseba Etxeberria came to Bilbao from Real Sociedad in 1995 after having only played seven games in La Liga. ...

It’s been a year to regret for famous sports figures. From Tiger Woods’ infidelity to Gilbert Arenas’ immaturity, superstar athletes have been the top targets for open season public fire. The criticism hasn’t been unwarranted however. Plaxico Burress literally shot himself into a two-year prison term and Ben Roethlisberger’s ability to understand a 200 plus-page playbook takes a backseat to his apparent inability to comprehend the single word "no." Drugs in every sport – whether it’s performance-enhancers or social stimulators – continue to hang around the sporting world like smog in an industrialized city. Soon, we’ll find out why former boxing ...

The Arizona Immigration Law is undoubtedly stirring a lot of emotions.  If you have not heard of it, then feel free to go back to sleep. Your government will take care of you—that's a promise—well, from them. In 2011, Major League Baseball's All-Star game is scheduled for Arizona. This has people in a tizzy, calling for the MLB to move it, cancel it, have all the players wear pink berets instead of ball caps, hold special ceremonies honoring the vast number of Hispanic ball players, etc. None of that will happen.  Especially the pink berets—that was just made up.  In fact, it would not be at ...

Article ideas hit me over the head at random instances—in class, on the couch, while shooting hoops, on a run, or even lying in bed. They often appear when I'm not even contemplating article ideas.  In this case, less is more. When a concept strikes, it feels like a flare just ruptured in my brain. There are hundreds of sparks just waiting to pop, and eventually they all will.   Balancing Act On Life I'm not always able to follow up on every lead because I live in a world that needs constant balancing. I am currently balancing school, sports, writing, and a social life, all ...
