Get Strapped In! The Best Mac Games For A Long Weekend

A long weekend in front of your computer is much better than an evening with Netflix, isn’t it? It’s you, and the elements. While most of us consider the PC to be the stalwart of the gaming experience, there’s a lot to be said for the Mac. And there’s a lot to be said for staying in, shutting the curtains, and getting engrossed in a fantastic game. Yes, there are those who are uninitiated in the ways of the weekend indoors, and for those people, here are the best Mac games to get stuck into on a long weekend…

25 Indie Wrestlers WWE Should Sign Right Now

The WWE keeps raiding the independent scene for talent to stock NXT with experienced workers. You would think the well would run dry of new guys, but they keep emerging. New talented wrestlers keep making a name for themselves by wrestling for independent promotions all over the world.

If you’re expecting this list to be full of New Japan talent like Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks or even Cody Rhodes, you’d be disappointed. New Japan isn’t an indie promotion in my eyes. If so, Kazuchika Okada, Hiromu Takahashi and Tetsuya Naito would top the list. NJPW have so much homegrown talent that I decided to not include those guys on this list. I did add a few gaijins (foreigners) who work for New Japan (as well as otehr promotions), but they’re not the tippy-top guys.

Casino Games That You Might Want to Try Out

We’re all familiar with casinos, but we haven’t all stepped foot inside of one. However, no matter how frugal you are with your disposable income, visiting a casino could prove to be an extremely fun experience filled with lighthearted entertainment. Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a professional gambler to have fun in these places, and you don’t have to put down major bets. You can have a dabble in a game and step back as soon as you start to lose or stop having fun, calling it a day. Alternatively, you could try the games out from the comfort of your own home through online casinos. Whichever option you choose, you’re likely to come face to face with similar games. So, here are a few that you might want to try out.

2018 NFL Draft: Which Quarterback Will Be Best Pro?

Quarterbacks are always at a premium in the NFL Draft. Teams reach for signal callers every single year. Some years work out great (2004) and some years are a disaster (2007).

Thanks to the NFL Rookie Wage Scale, teams have jumped at the chance of getting a possible franchise-changing quarterback in the early first round at a discount. Teams have traded huge hauls and mortgaged their future by trading up for a quarterback. The Redskins gave the Rams a large package of picks for Robert Griffin III (which didn’t work out long-term) and the Eagles gave the Browns a litany of future picks for Carson Wentz (too early to call).

The 2018 NFL Draft quarterback class is being touted as one of the best in many years. There are four quarterbacks that could be taken within the first five picks. Which one will be the best pro?

Here is our somewhat novice look at which quarterback in the 2018 NFL Draft class will be the best pro.

Who Should the Colts Draft at #6?

The Indianapolis Colts did have the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but traded down to sixth for a king’s ransom. They traded the Jets and received the 6th, 37th, and 49th overall pick in this year’s draft and a second-round pick next year.

The Colts are in a great position as they aren’t in need of a quarterback…but they need just about everything else. Their former general manager was horrible at evaluating college talent and most of his picks have already flunked out of the league.

There are four or five quarterbacks that teams have circled as potential top-ten picks. There are eight or nine teams that are in need of a young quarterback. The Colts sixth pick could end up being a valuable trade piece as they could move another pick to acquire many more picks.

Here are a few options the Indianapolis Colts have for the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Six Ways To Make A Splash This Summer

As a budding fitness junkie, it can be far too easy to miss out on some of the best options you have before you. With a gym pass in hand, a lot of people will ignore the offerings to be found outside of a place like this, and will live out their fitness career unable to take advantage of tools which could be a great help. As one of the biggest areas people fail to consider, water is truly one of the best tools out there for exercise. To help you to find ways to use it this summer, this post will be exploring some of the easiest ways to make a splash, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune in the process.

Of course, though, before diving in, it’s worth thinking about what sets water based exercise apart from a lot of the other activities you find in a gym. To begin, very few machines can work all of the muscles the sea or a pool can utilise, giving you the chance to cover a much wider range than in the gym. Along with this, swimming can count as both strength and cardio training. As one of the biggest benefits, water doesn’t put the same sort of impact pressure on your body as other workouts, and it will be almost impossible to injure yourself while floating around.

Sportsbooks Dominate NBA ‘Season Wins’ Prop Bets

We love posting season win over/under picks for the NBA, MLB and NFL. Sportsbooks are often very close to the actual win totals, which makes it hard for a bettor to win. They do have bad years, but the 2017-18 NBA season was very good for sportsbooks.

Out of the the 30 NBA team’s season win totals this preseason, the sportsbooks were +/- a single win for nine of them. That’s an insanely good year prognosticating the NBA this season. I guess the betting public also had a say in it as well.

People think sportsbooks try to guess the exact total of wins in a season or score of a game. That’s actually not the case most of the time. They try to get bets on both outcomes as evenly as possible. This is why lines move as a bet becomes lopsided. A lot of novice bettors may not understand that either.

Here are where the sportsbooks picked the NBA teams over/under season win totals and how many wins each NBA team had this season.

Sweetbob’s Fantasy Baseball F/M/K – April 15th

We are just over two weeks into the 2018 baseball season.

You’re just starting to really get your lineup dialed in, but recent injuries probably threw a wrench into things. Middle infielders will start to be scarce on the waiver wire if they keep getting injured at this rate. Recent injuries to Rougned Odor, Jonathan Schoop and Elvis Andrus have left fantasy owners hurting for solid replacements.

We look at some players who started out hot, some who are struggling and maybe some guys who should be targeted in your free agent pool on April 15th, 2018.

Best Outdoor (Non-Team) Sports For Men

Sports are not only a great way to stay fit and healthy, and in good shape, they can also make great hobbies and be a fantastic way to make new friends. Studies have shown that it’s important that you have hobbies in your life – doing so can enrich your health and well-being in a significant way.

50 Unbelievable Photos of Andre the Giant

Every time I see a photo of the great Andre the Giant, I just stare at it. My eyes go from one side of the picture to the other and just wonder what it would have been like to be him back in his day.

Andre the Giant was born in France as Andre Roussimoff. He was always listed as being from ‘Grenoble in the French Alps’, but the new HBO documentary put that claim to rest. Grenoble was a ‘worked’ hometown as Andre was really from a town outside of Paris.

Due to Andre having acromegaly, many of his features were enlarged (especially his head, hands and feet). His pituitary gland produced too much growth hormone and many with this condition suffer from other issues that lead to a shorter than normal life expectancy.

We list some photos of Andre the Giant that you may have never seen before. We tried to picked many that were rare, as we didn’t see many of these before we did a deep dive to find some new pictures of Andre the Giant.
