You know the maxim "Perception is reality?" Well, it's true--really, really true. Once people perceive someone a certain way, it can be almost impossible to get them to change their minds, no matter how strong the evidence may be otherwise. For example, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin came into the league with a reputation for suffering from debilitating migraines. ...

Face it, barefoot enthusiasts--we still live in a world where people are expected to wear shoes. Now this is hardly a bad thing. I mean, people did start wearing shoes for good reasons: to protect their feet from sharp objects, to keep them warm, and to walk with less pain over long distances (hey, if the Romans thought their would ...

There are plenty of things to look forward to as you age: more free time, possibly grandchildren, a certain "I'm old so I'm finally saying what I think and doing what I want" feeling.

Well, here's a good way to answer your own question: summon to mind the picture of Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter lying on the grass at Yankee Stadium, unable to get up, then being helped off the field, left ...
