The Wild Wild NFC West
It will be a tight division race, coming down to St. Louis or
Arizona. The value play is on St. Louis, at 6.50 to 1 odds, to
win the division (the pre-season number on Arizona is 3.25 to 1
odds to win the division). The better play here is St. Louis to
win OVER 6.5 games. Our scorecasting models have the 2008 Rams
winning 9 games; a deviation of 2.5 games from the Vegas total -
which correlates to a strong betting line play.

Fly Fishing 101: Learn Everything You Need to Know to Get Started on a Fly Fishing Adventure
Fly fishing is an ancient angling method in which artificial
flies are tied onto a hook to imitate naturally occurring food.
These artificial flies are made out of materials such as fur and
feather. Rods are generally light while the lines are heavy in
weight, providing the proper weight and momentum for casting.
Because of the ease of learning, fly fishing has become an
enjoyable past time for many people of all ages.

The Heart Of The Thoroughbred Horse Can Only Be Found In Competition
If you have ever watched the Kentucky Derby or other events in
racing's Triple Crown, you have had the opportunity to see
Thoroughbred horses. If you're not a racing fan, but watch the
news on a regular basis - particularly after the 2006 running of
the Kentucky Derby and on through the rest of the year, you're
likely familiar with the story of Barbaro, the 2006 Derby winner
that was put down after shattering a hind leg during the 2006
Preakness Stakes: the beautiful, calm Thoroughbred Horse was
beloved by many.

Chicago Cubs Pitching Staff The Key To The Success For The 2007 Season
Winning only 66 games last season, not many analysts and scouts

While they did have a better than average offensive team in 2006,
the pitching staff was a huge question mark. However, with the
recent additions of Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis on the team's
starting rotation and Lou Piniella behind the bench, the boys at
Wrigley may in fact be the sleeper team in the NL Central.

Champagne Powder: Try Alberta's Tasty Snow
With every billowing turn, Alberta's Rocky Mountains prove to
skiers why the snow here is the stuff of legends. Though it's
best known as champagne powder, the locals also refer to it as
"blower" because the lightest puff of breath will spread a
handful like so much dust. On the slopes the powder's lightness
makes it easy to ski. It swirls around your boots and makes big
fans with every turn.

Castle Mountain Buffs Up: Alberta's *Jewel of the South*
When legendary ski-film maker Warren Miller's crew came to
Alberta to include Castle Mountain in his newest movie, it sought
an unpolished jewel. That's Castle Mountain: on the one hand, an
area remote, undeveloped and largely undiscovered; on the other,
a mountain with a roots-friendly vibe, huge snow dumps and
incredible skiing. It's a skier's paradise that's attracting
huge interest.

Castle Expands Mountain: Deep, Steep and Still Cheap
Castle Mountain is as counter-culture as the roots of
snowboarding and a haven of steep and deep. Now, it's
blossoming. Just the right mix for a Warren Miller film. This
spring the legendary ski and snowboard moviemaker's film crew
came to Castle to see what the rumours were about.

Banff Springs Eternal
Designed in 1928 by Canada's most revered golf course architect,
Stanley Thompson, this incredibly scenic golf course was the
first golf course to cost $1-million. It was money well spent,
and today Sports Illustrated calls the Banff Springs (along with
the Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course) one of the two greatest
mountain golf courses ever built.

Alberta Golf: To Every Swing, There Is A Season
There's a peculiar ritual performed each spring and fall on

Backcountry Bliss in the Canadian Rockies
The idea of an Alberta hike – as a family – began last spring
when my husband and I decided we desperately needed a challenge:
Something that would recharge our sluggish lives, reunite us a
family and test each individual's staying power.

Key Returnees - A Look at a Few Players Who Could Lead Their Teams to Prominence
Every year, selected teams tend to have their seasons at least
partially ruined due to unforeseen injuries. A widely-held
league belief is that a team generally has one or two big-time
playmakers, and if one of these central pieces is lost because of
injury, that team is in big trouble. Below you'll find a few of
the players attempting to come back from an injury, and what
potential impact a successful return could mean for their teams.

Divisional Outlook - NL West
Despite being widely ripped as the worst division in baseball in
2005, one facet of the division last year on which everyone
agreed was the competitiveness, as nearly every team had a chance
to win the division late in the season. Once again, no one is
out of it in this division in 2006, as every team sits within
three games of the others as of this writing.

NFL Training Camp - Is It Too Long?
The demands on NFL teams have grown exponentially over the past
couple of decades. It wasn't too long ago that many NFL
players, even starters, felt the need to get or hold a
"regular" job during the offseason, and used the time spent in
training camp to get into playing shape for the regular season.
It also used to be that teams played up to six preseason games as
opposed to the current four or maybe five exhibitions.
