WWE Hell In A Cell Pay Per View Results

The WWE has been floundering around a bit with the latest pay per views, so Hell In a Cell was kind of a chance for them to turn things around. Many people in the WWE Universe felt that the powers that be have been misusing their talent, and that the younger stars are not getting enough push. The truth is, Hell in a Cell gave few chances for this to happen, and it really was more about the veterans once again. Hell in a Cell was actually pretty darn good in spite of this, and the matches left some interesting questions for the future of WWE. Here are the matches, along with some thoughts on each one:

Matt Ryan Versus Joe Flacco - Who Is Better?

It is not very often that you have an NFL quarterback come into the league and see success in their rookie year. It is even more rare that you have a rookie quarterback start for their respective teams on opening day and start the whole season. It is a miracle when you have this happen to two young quarterbacks in the same season. Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan performed just that in 2008, and are now performing even better in 2009.

Coaching Little League - Bunting Basics

Teaching little league baseball players to bunt is one of the first lessons that they should learn. Bunting is more effective in little league than perhaps any other level of baseball.

Panthers and Cowboys Face Must Win On Monday Night Football

In the world of NFL football it is uncommon to consider any game played in September to be a must win. The Carolina Panthers have painted themselves into quite the corner to start the season. In week one NFL action, the Panthers laid a horrible rotten egg against the powerful Philadelphia Eagles. This game was eerily reminiscent of the Jake Delhomme massacre in the 2008 NFC playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals. To Jake Delhomme’s credit, he did rebound during week two against NFC South powerhouse Atlanta. In spite of a much better game the Panthers still came away with a loss.
