This guy defeated two million contenders to be crowned as English Premier League's fantasy football champion. He is Jason Moultrie, a geologist from Mackay, Queensland. This is second time in a row that an Australian has won the competition. For his efforts Jason won a trip to London along with his friend Duncan Thomson for watching Chelsea take on Aston Villa.

He was introduced to the game through his friend Duncan Thomson whom he saw participating two seasons ago. In this game competitors act as managers who choose their own squad of players from the Premier League and get points on basis of performance. Of the total number of 1.95 million managers last season, 88,000 were Australians.

If you want to ape Jason Moultrie recipe of success, it is a deadly combination of study, hard work and luck.

NFL's Competition Committee proposes rule change for lessening blows on wide receivers

NFL's Competition Committee proposes rule change for lessening blows on wide receivers

Pro football is expected to get safer as the NFL's competition committee is recommending rule changes for lessening blows on wide receivers.

Rich McKay, Co-chairman, Competition Committee stated:

The difference would be that currently the protection provided for the defenseless receiver ends when the receiver has completed the catch, meaning possession of the ball with two feet on the ground. We would propose language that would say that if a receiver has completed the catch and has not had time to protect himself, a defensive player is prohibited from launching into him in a way that causes the defensive player's helmet, face mask, shoulder or forearm to forcibly strike the receiver's head.


In case of needless roughness, the penalty will be around fifteen yards. Players of today are bigger, faster and stronger and hits are getting harder and dangerous and therefore rule change is necessary. Some people won't accept the fact that football can be a hard hitting sport and therefore changes are required.

Feeling sore after intensive gaming session, take a dip in an above ground pool

Have been playing football for the past week? Is your body feeling sore after having been glued to the console for so long? If yes, then one of the best ways to cure it would be to take a dip in an above ground pool. The warm water of the pool will let your body to relax and you will feel fresh as ever when you come out of it.

If you feel the water of the above ground pool is too cold you could keep it warm by investing in an above ground pool heater. This will help in maintaining the temperature of your pool so that your body feels relaxed after a dip. Above ground pools are cheaper as compared to below ground pools and are a good investment too.

You will feel fresh as dew when you wake up next morning and charged up to spend another few weeks of playing football nonstop.
