Centered by a Miracle: A True Story of Friendship, Football and Life

Centered by a Miracle: A True Story of Friendship, Football and Life Review

Miracles can happen to anyone. Steve Rom, a sportswriter at the Ann Arbor News, never thought his friendship with a recently retired Super Bowl champion would last.

Rod Payne, a member of the 2000 world champion Baltimore Ravens, and a former All-America center at the University of Michigan, never thought the camaraderie he shared with his teammates in the NFL could be found with a rookie reporter.

But when the two met by chance on MichiganÂ’s campus early in the summer of 2001, they discovered they had a lot in common. Each was an only child raised by a working mother. Both felt a loss growing up without a father around.

Despite pressure from their peers (including Rod’s former teammates and Steve’s fellow writers) to end their friendship—athletes aren’t supposed to get along with reporters, after all—their bond developed quickly.

When Steve took a short vacation to his native Los Angeles, three days of severe flu-like symptoms landed him in the hospital, where he received the most devastating news of his life. He was told he had leukemia.

Steve and RodÂ’s friendship was about to change forever.

Steve realized he would need a true champion by his side—someone used to battling tough opponents—if he was going to win this life-or-death game.

Having survived cancer as a child, Steve knew the challenges that lay ahead. He also knew that his first cancer was different: nobody told him he could have died back then.

13 Teams: One Man's Journey with the WNBA

13 Teams: One Man's Journey with the WNBA Review

"Well, he said he started, became a fan in 2000. He's just been a fan of the game ever since."
-Carolyn Peck, ESPN Commentator

"I think its great to have fans that are that passionate, who care about (the league) that much to invest their time, their energy, their summer vacation to follow the WNBA."
-Donna Orender, WNBA President (2005-2010)

"Oh, the journey dude? Man vs. Wild, WNBA style!"
-Diana Taurasi, Phoenix Mercury

My name is Alex Chambers, and I love women's basketball.

Yes, it really is that simple. Now come to think of it, loving the game is that simple; being a fan, well, that's another story. The difficulty in being a fan of women's basketball might lie within the struggle to find a televised game, or media coverage you don't have to dig for. It could mean sifting past paragraphs and even pages of negative comments on message boards or blogs to get to a recap of a recent game. Even still, it could be that when I wear my home team's jersey, people ask me, "Is that a professional sports team?" It might also have to do with the fact that (drum roll please) I'm a guy.

In 2009, I traveled to all thirteen WNBA arenas. Along the way, I was fortunate enough to meet some of the athletes in the WNBA as well as many passionate fans. This is the story of my twenty-eight day, twelve thousand mile journey, filled with adventure and amazing experiences.

The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today

The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today Review

Authors Alan Sears and Craig Osten expose the goals of the homosexual movement and its rising legal activism. The homosexual agenda has as its primary aim to “trump” the rights of all other groups, especially those of people of faith. The saddest part of the story is that it is working. In 1988, 74.9 percent of the American public thought that sex between two people of the same gender was always wrong. By 1998, the percentage had fallen to 54.6 percent. Sears and Osten provide well-documented proof that America; is not only becoming more tolerant of homosexuality, through the indoctrination of children, positive exposure on TV, and the support and approval of corporate America, it is becoming less tolerant of those who disagree.
