Update: Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant took the first snap at running back as the Packers opened training camp on Saturday. Grant has been medically cleared and is already participating in full team drills after missing 15 games last season with a serious ankle injury. "I thought Ryan looked very well," observed coach Mike McCarthy. "He had a couple of runs that came out of there. He looked like his old self."

Update: ESPN is reporting that the Cardinals agreed to terms with TE Todd Heap on a two-year contract. Heap has had to battle some injuries the past few years, but he is still a very solid tight end when healthy.

Since I still haven’t gotten around to re-launching IndieChristmas.com (it’s coming soon! I promise!) I shall have to continue posting here the unique, interesting music videos I stumble across regularly.
A few weeks back I posted a rather remarkable a cappella version of “Du Hast”. Today, it’s another cover that completely reinvents a classic hard rock song with a softer and far less, well, “metal” feel.
Here is Korean jazz singer Youn Sun Nah singing Metallica’s classic “Enter Sandman”:

Last week ESPN.com ranked the top 5 active players at every position. That’s cool and all, but with the 2011-2012 NBA season in question and seeing as we are at the beginning of a new decade, I thought it might be just as fun to look back and rank the top 5 players from the last 5 decades.

Update: The Charlotte Observer reports that the Carolina Panthers are interested in trading for Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel. This speculation has started because former Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott is now the defensive coordinator in Carolina, and is known to love Samuel. The Panthers can take on the salary, as they have cap room, but this is far from being something legit to consider.

Whenever I am selecting my featured workout for this column, I always look for the most intense feat. It’s all about speed, sweat and pain…the good kind of pain of course!
However, I was bopping around the gym recently and I spied a flyer for a “spine class.” Even though the flyer did not suggest speed and sweat, I was intrigued. I am always fixated on toning my core or tightening my glutes, but I never offer any tender loving care to my spine.
So I took the encounter with the flyer as a little wake up call and jotted down the information for the “Spines in Motion” class.
