English Grammar Phrases

English Grammar: Types of Phrases
A phrase is a group of words without both a subject and predicate. Phrases combine words into a larger unit that can function as a sentence element. For example, a participial phrase can include adjectives, nouns, prepositions and adverbs; as a single unit, however, it functions as one big adjective modifying a noun (or noun phrase).
- Noun Phrase – "The crazy old lady in the park feeds the pigeons every day." A noun phrase consists of a noun and all of its modifiers, which can include other phrases (like the prepositional phrase in the park).
- Appositive Phrase – "Bob, my best friend, works here" or "My best friend Bob works here." An appositive (single word, phrase, or clause) renames another noun, not technically modifying it. See this page from the Armchair Grammarian for everything you ever wanted to know about appositives.
- Gerund Phrase – "I love baking cakes." A gerund phrase is just a noun phrase with a gerund as its head.
- Infinitive Phrase – "I love to bake cakes." An infinitive phrase is a noun phrase with an infinitive as its head. Unlike the other noun phrases, however, an infinitive phrase can also function as an adjective or an adverb.
- Verb Phrase – The verb phrase can refer to the whole predicate of a sentence (I was watching my favorite show yesterday) or just the verb or verb group (was watching).
- Adverbial Phrase – The adverbial phrase also has two definitions; some say it's a group of adverbs (very quickly), while others say it's any phrase (usually a prepositional phrase) that acts as an adverb.
- Adjectival Phrase – As with adverbial phrases, adjectival phrases can either refer to a group of adjectives(full of toys) or any phrase (like a participial or prepositional phrase) that acts as an adjective.
- Participial Phrase – "Crushed to pieces by a sledgehammer, the computer no longer worked" or "I think the guy sitting over there likes you." A participial phrase has a past or present participle as its head. Participial phrases always function as adjectives.
- Prepositional Phrase – "The food on the table looked delicious." A prepositional phrase, which has a preposition as its head, can function as an adjective, adverb, or even as a noun.
- Absolute Phrase – "My cake finally baking in the oven, I was free to rest for thirty minutes." Unlike participial phrases, absolute phrases have subjects and modify the entire sentence, not one noun. Almost a clause, the absolute phrase can include every sentence element except a finite verb. For example, "My cake finally baking in the oven" would be its own sentence if you just added one finite verb: "My cake was finally baking in the oven."

Place the pineapple in a plastic container in the freezer until completely frozen, at least 3 hours. In a blender, combine 1 1/2 cups spiked watermelon, 6 tablespoons frozen pineapple, and 1/2 cup Citrus-Ginger Infusion. (Amount of infusion may be increased or decreased according to individual taste.) Blend on high speed until well combined. Add enough ice to fill the blender, 3 cups, and additional vodka, as desired, and blend until smooth. Pour into tall chilled glasses or a pitcher. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, to make about 10 blenderfuls. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve with a long straw.
Cut a hole in the top of the watermelon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel. Pour in as much vodka through the funnel as can be absorbed (1/2 to 1 cup). Remove the funnel and replace the watermelon plug. Let sit for 4 hours.
Again, pour in as much vodka as can be absorbed. Repeat the process until all the vodka has been absorbed. (The watermelon flesh gradually will absorb all the vodka.) Refrigerate until well chilled. When ready to make the daiquiris, cut the watermelon in half and scoop out the flesh.
Combine the water, sugar, lemon grass, ginger, and lemon juice and zest in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container and reserve for the daiquiris. (Infusion will keep for 2 weeks, refrigerated and also may be used to flavor dressings or drizzle over fresh fruit.)

Mariel Becker
I am Mariel Becker and I am a Junior at Wesleyan University. My major is Biology and I am also earning a Certificate in Jewish and Israel Studies. At Wesleyan I am part of the Ski Team, teach a fitness class, and TA for Introductory Biology and Elementary Statistics. This next semester I will be studying abroad at the University of Glasgow in Scotland (I am most looking forward to hiking the Highlands)! Although I am not sure if teaching is what I want to pursue, participating in the TEU program has been a valuable experience.
Carol Bowe
I am a senior physic major at Bryn Mawr College, a women's college outside of Philly but I was born and raised in Boston. I have always had a passion for teaching. In fact, when I was little that's what I wanted to be when I grew up and although that has changed slightly over the years, I am happy to once again be pursuing that career. Outside of teaching I am passionate about sustainability and environmental work. I also write spoken word poetry and recently competed in a national poetry slam as part of a team from my college.
Charlotte Gbomina
Hello, my name is Charlotte Gbomina (the G is silent). I am a rising senior at Grinnell College with a declared Biology, Spanish and Education major. I've been interested in education since the day my family moved to the U.S in 2003 when I noticed how fun learning could be. I was that one student that was always interested in concepts that almost everyone disliked and as I went further in my schooling, I encountered teachers who were passionate about teaching which inspired me to aspire to become a teacher. After graduation from college, I plan on going into the teaching profession to implement the philosophies I've learned.
Jess Voight
Hi! My name is Jess Voight and I am a senior Biomedical Engineering major and Models and Data minor at Trinity College. On campus at Trinity I am involved with the Outdoors Club, Engineers Without Borders, and the Society of Women Engineers. I enjoy getting outdoors, gardening, and puzzles. Unlike most others in this program, I am not set on becoming a teacher in the future. Rather, I see this program as a way to expand my abilities as a leader and make a meaningful difference in the local community. Additionally, I see the need for students to develop a passion and interest in the sciences and hope I can help with that.
Emma Micinski
Hi, my name is Emma Micinski and I will be graduating from Lawrence University in Appleton, WI this upcoming winter following student teaching. I will be earning a physics degree as well as a secondary physics teaching degree, a secondary broad-field science teaching degree, and a k-12 TESOL degree. I am really motivated to teach in a large part because I want to show young women that science is an achievable goal and I hope to encourage and inspire an appreciation for science in those otherwise inclined. I am very interested in pedagogy and want to be a science teacher who breaks from the typical high school physics classroom setup and operations. I find that a lot of high school physics classrooms are designed against the students, and I want to see education make the switch to a more fun, ACCESSIBLE, and interesting classroom environment in science classrooms.
Stanley Walker
Hello, my name is Stanley Walker and I'm a senior Astronomy Physics combined major at Whitman College. I am the sixth of seven children and I grew up Olympia Washington. I love getting outdoors, going on runs, and climbing on things. I am also a nerd in every sense of the word, I love comic books, video games, D&D, Harry Potter, etc. I chose an Astronomy Physics combined major because space is awesome and studying the origins and evolution of the universe is incredibly satisfying. I was homeschooled for the majority of my formal education. This has instilled in me a love for learning and a unique viewpoint on education that I would like to bring with me into a career as a teacher.

As a home seller, are you the victim of a ducking agent?
After your home had been on the market for several months, did your agent go incommunicado -- failing even to call you back when you leave an earnest message?
Real estate experts dub the problem -- which drives some sellers wild with frustration -- as "call reluctance." They say it often sets in after a house has languished on the market for several months and the listing agent has little good news to offer.

Summer brings trips to the pool or beach with the baby and lots of fun in the sun. Many baby products available today can make your summertime trip to the pool or beach safer, more fun or just more convenient. Check out our selection of baby swimming products that are made for summer fun at the pool or beach.
1. SPF 50 Water-Resistant Sun Cream
Number one among all baby swimming products? Water-resistant sun cream! Just a few serious sunburns as a child can greatly increase the risks of skin cancer later in life, so it's important to protect baby's skin as much as possible. A water-resistant sun cream goes on easily and stays put pretty well, even through play time. It provides effective SPF 50 to prevent burns.
2. SPF 50 Swim Suit
Covering more of baby's skin with a swimsuit is a great way to protect against sunburns. Most of baby swimsuits offer SPF 50 protection against UV. They keep your baby warm in and out of water.
3. Swim Diaper
To avoid any embarrassing accidents happening in the pool, it is important that your little one is wearing a good swim diaper. Both disposable and reusable swim diapers are designed to be less absorbent while still retaining waste. So swim diapers can be submerged in water but not retain liquid and will not expand or become heavy.
If you're not regular swimmers, then disposable swim diapers will be a good choice. They are easy to slip on and once used, you can just tear along the sides to remove them. After swimming you can just toss them in the bin and not have so many things to lug back home in your bag. Reusable diapers are definitely economical because you can also use it as training pants on a regular basis.
4. Swimming Float
Letting your child having fun in water is one of the ways in which they develop. In discovering who they are, water usually sparks some confidence that goes on to direct the way they lead their physical lives. Swimming is lots of fun, and any splashing or gliding on water poses a new way of improving your baby's growth. Swimming baby floats come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. One of the good baby swimming products which create a fun and safe way for your child to be in the water. When buying a baby float you may consider the age of your baby, the durability of the float, the weight capacity, the price and if the float has a sun shade or not. A good float will maintain an upright sitting position for your baby.
5. Towel
A towel is pretty much a necessity for drying you little one after swimming. Providing your baby with a soft and warm towel after getting out of the water is crucial as they get sick very easily and could catch a cold unless wrapped immediately.
Your baby's skin is susceptible to so many dangers, especially the quality of their towels, that is why it's so important to go through and find the best baby towels. Poor quality towels could affect the skin negatively. A towel that is crafted from flannel, cotton, or even nylon are the best baby towels. A simple towel or a hooded baby towel with high absorbency would be perfect.
6. Baby Shampoo & Body Wash
Chlorine or salt water can be damaging or drying to baby's hair, and irritating to delicate skin. Give your baby a bath after swimming is therefore the best way to remove the chemicals. Baby shampoo & body wash will gently remove any leftovers from your pool or beach trip and adds moisture back to baby's hair and skin.
7. Hat
A hat will protect your baby's head from the sun. Floppy hats feature a 360° brim to provide shade for the head, face, and neck. If your child has sensitive skin, floppy hats that feature UV sun protection are better. Best for infants and young children are hats with chin straps that prevent the hat from falling off or being pulled off.
8. Swimming Goggles
Goggles are the best way to protect your little one's eyes from chlorine or debris in the pool. They are one of the most essential baby swimming products for a good protection of your kid. Children are more likely to experience redness and irritation with their naked eyes exposed to the chemicals. So, when it comes to taking your kids to the pool to practice their swimming skills, you should protect their eyes for the future with a decent pair of goggles. They could also help toddlers swimming and encourage them to put their face back in the water with more confidence.
Above all, if your child does not want goggles then don't make a big issue out of it.
9. Water-Resistant Bag
A water-resistant bag will be practical for your moments at the pool or beach. It will protect all your belongings from water splash or anything else. A waterproof bag has the particularity and advantage to be easy cleanable and to dry quickly. Don't need to put your wet clothes in a disposable plastic bag anymore.
10. Wetbag
A wetbag is a waterproof cloth bag meant to store soiled cloth diapers, wet suits and more. It is convenient in everyday life but also after swimming activities. This not only prevents anything from getting everywhere in case of leaks, but also protects the contents from getting covered in sand or water.
*Kids' safety swimwear and swim gear is not a replacement for parental supervision. It is important to always watch your child at the pool to ensure their safety.

A Mother's Love
A Mother's Love is like an island in life's ocean,
Vast and wide, a peaceful, quiet shelter from the wind, rain and tide.
'Tis bound on the north by Hope, by Patience on the west,
By tender counsel on the South, and by Rest on the east.
Above it like a beacon light shine Faith, Truth and Prayer
And through the changing scenes of life I find a haven there.

If you follow RIPR on Twitter...and if you don't I highly recommend it; even if you're not really a Twitter fan, we post all sorts of cool stuff on there....then doubtless you've noticed that not long ago we created a system that automatically tweets links to the audio of our local newscasts.
This has proven surprisingly popular; we've found about 3 of every 4 folks really like it, which is incredibly positive feedback for a radio station. (it's quite difficult to find something universally "liked" in broadcasting, often we have to settle for making just 10% of the public happy with any one initiative)
I should pause to point out that you can also find the three most recent newscast audio links right on our home page: ripr.org
Since we do a lot of local newscasts (15 every weekday, and 7 over Saturday and Sunday) this means quite a few tweets. So I've been experimenting with trying to figure out a way to automatically tweet content at specific times to help "break up" the flow of newscast tweets. This has proven more difficult than you might imagine.
To begin, I made a decision early on that everything in this process has to run unattended. That is, it doesn't require a human to actually do anything. I wanted to make sure our reporters are spending their time, well, reporting and not messing around with behind-the-scenes systems.
With that in mind, here's a rundown of how the flow works...
First, we record the local newscast. I have a spare Windows 7 computer in master control, with a tap off our mix board's "program" feed. This gives us nice, clean audio. On this computer, I use Dimension4 to keep the clock tightly synchronized to our NPR clock and then I use Total Recorder Professional Edition (cost: $36) to record audio at very specific times throughout the day; these times are when the local newscast is airing. It's not quite perfect; sometimes we upcut/downcut the newscaster's voice a bit (the clocks are perfect, but humans are messy) but usually it's pretty close.
When Total Recorder finishes making a recording, it automatically saves an MP3 of the newscast with a unique filename created by certain "rules". That filename (usually with a specific time/date in the name) makes it possible to then manage the files throughout the remainder of the process.
In addition to a specific filename, Total Recorder also saves these files in a couple of different specific folders on the local RIPR computer network. One folder, for example, is our archive...so staff can quickly and easily hear airchecks of themselves. I have a server program called SubSonic (cost: free) that is a little clunky (because of music piracy concerns, it's surprisingly difficult to find software that means it easy to share MP3's across a network!) but makes it so they can quickly find an aircheck and play it from their computer at their desk.
Another location, more pertinent to this discussion, is a folder where a program called GoodSync (cost: $30) notes the new file and automatically FTP's the file to a web server hosted by PowWeb (cost: $12/mo). While not as robust as our web hosting for ripr.org through NPR Digital Services, it offers a few specific features I needed: like running custom PHP scripts. Specifically, I wanted DirCaster (cost: free!) which takes files in any web server's folder and makes an RSS feed out of them.
RSS or "Really Simple Syndication" may sound familiar to you: it's the architecture that podcasting is based on. While our local newscasts can be downloaded and listened to through a podcast aggregator program...like iTunes...we don't expect most people would do that. They just want to click a link and listen when the whim strikes them.
DirCaster's RSS feed of our newscast audio is run through PodTrac (cost: free!) so we can get some statistics on things. From there, I have an applet set up with the web service If This Then That (cost: free!) that automatically sends a tweet with a link to the audio every time it detects a new file in the RSS feed. And running a Twitter account is, of course, free.
So far this entire system cost us:
- One old leftover Windows 7 PC.
- $66 in one-time software costs.
- Less than $150/year for web hosting.
That, my friends, is a steal! :)
So far, so good, right?
But what about adding a few tweets to break up the neverending flow of newscast tweets?
That's proven trickier. The exact tools to do this don't really exist, so I've been trying to hack together a couple different services and kludge it all together to see if it works well enough to be used full-time.
First, we have (and have had for a while now for an unrelated project) a special RSS feed of all our locally-created news stories on the website. NPR Digital Services created it for us. In theory I can use Buffer to aggregate these stories from the RSS feed, turn them into tweets, and tweet them out automatically at specific times each weekday.
The problem is that Buffer isn't entirely designed to do that. It's really meant to be used in a "live assist" mode, where a person aggregates content from lots of different sources (potentially multiple RSS feeds) and then manually picks which stories to be sent out within certain time windows. And not just to Twitter, either; Buffer works with Facebook, LinkedIn, etc - all sorts of social media platforms.
In theory, I can use If This Then That (IFTTT) to push items from an RSS feed into Buffer's automatic schedule. But our RSS feed isn't recognized as "valid" by IFTTT's internal architecture; it's kind of picky, IMHO.
Instead I've been using Feedly to interpret the RSS feed for me. Much like Buffer, this is something Feedly can do but it's not really the main thing it's meant to do. So it's a little weird at times. Once interpreted by Feedly, I use Zapier to "zap" (create an action) where every time something new in the RSS feed is detected by Feedly, Zapier adds the story to Buffer's automatic posting schedule. Zapier is an incredibly flexible service but it's almost oversimplified; it's not easy to tell if you've really set things up to work the way you want them to work...the only way to really know if it's set up correctly is, to, well, just let it go and see what the results are over the next few days.
One stumbling block I've noticed is that while RIPR produces and posts new web stories quite often during the weekday, it does very few on the weekend. This can get problematic if the "Buffer" within Buffer runs out before new stories start getting posted again on Monday morning. It's been a lot of trial-and-error to figure out where the magic number of automatically-tweeted stories per day is: four per day? Five? Seven? Like I said, trial and error.
Worse, Zapier and Buffer have free services but they are far, far more limited than the pay versions. In both cases, there's a paid version that's not too bad...like $10 or $20/month...and I could live with that if I knew the paid version would do what I need it to do. But they also have paid versions that are $100/mo or even $5000/yr. (!!!!) Yeah, that's a bit much. Again, these are really flexible and powerful services, but it's overkill. I don't need all those services and I certainly can't afford to pay $100/month just to automatically send a few tweets. This is one thing where I've been quite annoyed with Buffer & Zapier is that they don't make it clear, at all, what functionality you do or don't get at the various paid service levels.
For what it's worth, my free trials of Zapier and Buffer are, as of this writing (Aug 5, 2017), about to expire. We'll see if the services continue to work as desired once we're on the basic, free editions. If they do, that's great! If not, we'll try the lower-cost options and see how that goes.

Are you collecting all Rinkya Japanese flashcards? Good! Today we are going to learn all about the onomatopoeia "yusa yusa." We use it to describe the action of swagging something very large, like a tree. Now, picture King Kong swagging a tall building. Or, a monster swagging a building, like a Gamera, for example. Think about situations in which you can use this onomatopoeia. You can find it in manga and literature as well. Don't be surprise if you listen to it in daily conversations.
Which is your favorite flashcard? How many flashcards have you collected so far?

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — A series of detailed accounts by professed police hit men is bringing intense pressure on President F.W. de Klerk to commission a judicial inquiry into allegations of a campaign to eliminate apartheid opponents.
As De Klerk continued his refusals to comment until he receives reports from his ministers of justice and law and order, the Afrikaans-language Independent Weekly on Friday published new statements from former Capt. Dirk Coetzee, who says he led a police murder squad.

Later a group was formed first in Trio with Lane then grew into a quintet including Selvaganesh's 2 brothers V Umashankar and V. Umamahesh. 2 CD's and a DVD were produced with this group. After Shawn Lane's tragic death in 2003, Hellborg has continued to explore amalgamations of Indian and "Western" music. Working with Indian masters as Debashish Bhattacharya, Niladri Kumar, Vikku Vinayakram, Tanmoy Bose and U Shrinivas. He has also started a new Metal-Fusion project with guitarist Mattias IA Eklundh called Art Metal...Hellborg founded his own record label Day Eight Music in 1979 releasing his first solo bass record – an early showcase of his pioneering chordal, and for the time very advanced, slapping approaches. It is also noteworthy that it was the first LP ever to feature solely bass guitar. With the move to the US a new entity was formed called Bardo Music that took over the responsibilities of Hellborgs output now counting around 40 odd releases...Hellborg has been involved in instrument design from early on in his career. Starting with a signature model for the Japanese company Aria, the first ever biamped Bass Amp in cooperation with Italian company FBT, a double neck bass, fretted and fretless, for British company Wal in 1983 and the invention in 1984 of the modern Acoustic Bass Guitar in collaboration with/built by master luthier Abraham Wechter...After working with a further half dozen of other companies with signature models and inventions he now, together with Warwick Basses, created a new bass and a high end line of bass amplification that incorporates a set of innovations not yet seen in any other bass amp..."
About The Word, from All Music Guide:
"This is an intriguing and rather original set of music. Jonas Hellborg, whose conception of the acoustic bass guitar is much closer to a guitar than to a bass, teams up with drummer Tony Williams and the flexible Soldier String Quartet. The sparse sextet explores songs that (according to the liners) are influenced by Arab music, Jimi Hendrix, Tony Williams' Lifetime and Bartok. A variety of moods are explored and the unusual blend of instruments and styles grow in interest each time they are heard. It is a pity though that the playing time is less than 37 minutes."

However, the report demands the time has come to go further, contending: "There is an open door inside the devolution of fetus removal law to build up an unmistakable Scottish way to deal with ladies' conceptive wellbeing and the fortify ladies' rights."
Since the devolution of premature birth law was reported last November, some star decision campaigners have raised worries about the danger of against fetus removal bunches abusing cross-fringe contrasts.
Others have recommended the surge in political engagement, especially among ladies, achieved by the 2014 freedom choice battle could reinforce any imminent drive to broaden premature birth rights in Scotland.

We would need to witness decriminalization with the goal that premature birth was directed similarly as whatever other sort of human services.
"Any Scottish way to deal with fetus removal ought to be founded on global best practice, so we could embrace a circumstance as in Canada where there is no criminal law with regards to premature birth. While the open deliberation around time limits is not a concentration of the report, there is no convincing proof of motivation to have time confines by any means.

Each Life is Valuable
I haven't really posted on the subject of abortion before, but since it is SO important (and so debated in today's world), I thought I'd share my thoughts.
I am pro-life.
Please don't ditch this post if you are pro-choice; just hear me out.
Each and every life that God has created has incredible value. That's not just "my personal opinion"; it is 100% true in all circumstances. Whatever you look like, talk like, think like, believe, and come from, YOU are valuable...and so is every unborn baby.
If you're by some chance unfamiliar with abortion, here is a definition from WikiAnswers:
Basically, it is a procedure done or medication that can be taken to kill the unborn baby and end the pregnancy. The doctors at the abortion clinic most likely don't put it that way, but that's what it is.
I believe that unborn babies should live. Many people are misled to think that babies aren't actually "alive" in the womb at the time a woman commits abortion; I strongly believe that this is untrue. At just six weeks in the womb, the child already has eyes, hands, and a heartbeat. Now, that doesn't sound like mere cells to me.
Allow me to be blunt and honest: Abortion is murder.
The argument has been raised countless times that it is the woman's baby and it is her choice whether or not to abort it. I think that is completely and utterly ridiculous. GOD is the Creator of life, not us. Since when should we get to choose when to end someone's life? That shouldn't be our choice to make.
Adolf Hitler, the horrible man who started World War II and the Holocaust and who hated Jews, killed over 11 million people. It is common knowledge that he was an EVIL man. Killing 11 million people was not RIGHT. So many people agree with this philosophy, yet people around the world continue to kill unborn babies.
This question has been raised many times: what if it was a rape?
It doesn't matter HOW the woman got pregnant; it is still a living child. I know that it may be really hard raising a child, and many times the mother is not ready, but there are other options besides abortion. Take adoption, for instance. That is a much better option than abortion. The woman's child can still have a loving family who will take care of them...and there doesn't have to be an abortion.
So those are my thoughts on abortion. I saw the pro-life video below on a blog and thought it was really awesome and amazing. I totally recommend you check it out! It's a little over a half hour long, but definitely worth it. Just be forewarned that there are some really graphic images of dead bodies/heads from World War II, so maybe watching it with a parent would be best.
What are your thoughts on abortion? Are you pro-life or pro-choice and why?

What are the greatest sports franchises of all time? The Yankees may come to mind for many. How about the Los Angeles Lakers? The Celtics? Maybe it's the New England Patriots.
Actually the above teams fall far behind the number one team.
For the last 13 years ESPN the Magazine's Ultimate Standings ranked 122 sports franchises in baseball, basketball, football, and hockey using a matrix of what fans think are the most important elements that make up the ultimate sports team. The rankings based on over 100,000 responses proves quite surprising.
The Yankees actually rate 90th on the list in 2015. The team who prides themselves on being the "most successful franchise in sports history," have made the World Series seven times in the last 20 years. That doesn't sound so bad considering their storied history prior to that. But the Ultimate ranking considers other variables that diminishes their rank, such as ownership, ticket cost, coaching, players, stadium experience, fan relations, bang for your buck, and other variables.
In the case of the Yankees the affordability index takes its toll on their overall ranking. According to ESPN the Magazine's rating, they are second worst in MLB (117th overall) in affordability. Coughing up $100 or more on a single ticket is not uncommon. The average ticket price runs $51.55. In MLB only the Red Sox tickets average more than the Bombers (by less than a dollar). Good seats for the Yankees can easily go for $500.
The San Antonio Spurs capture the number one sports franchise, according to Ultimate Standings. Thanks in large part to the leadership of Gregg Popovich, voted the best coach in sports by fans for the fourth year in a row.
President Obama referred to the team last year as "not just old, but kind of boring," but that's just how Popovich likes it. Former Spurs assistant Brett Brown, who now enjoys the head coaching job for the Sixers, claims that Pop anticipates problems and makes adjustments before things get out of hand. But his real skill is intangible. "You can talk about what a masterful defensive coach he is, and that's true," Brown says. "You can talk about his fantastic leadership, which is also true. But nothing trumps his human skills."
The top five franchises are:
1. San Antonio Spurs
2. Memphis Grizzlies
3. Tampa Bay Lightning
4. Anaheim Ducks
5. Seattle Seahawks
You can see the complete list here.
The Los Angeles Lakers fared even worse than the Yankees, tying down the #101 spot on the Ultimate Standing List. Recent coaching problems and a fat $25 million Kobe Bryant salary militated against their overall rating.
The Celtics at #57, despite having the most NBA championships of all time (17, one more than the Lakers), offer at best a mediocre stadium experience and extort $42 for parking, contributing to a poor bang-for-your-buck score.
The NFL's popular Patriots came in a little better at #25, thanks to Tom Brady and a bunch of Super Bowls. Fans find it easy to overlook Bill Belichick's devious reputation and swear that, "In Bill We Trust." The Ultimate Standings crowns Belichick No. 3 among coaches, the best in the NFL. $122 average ticket price gives them low marks for bang-for-your-buck as serving the cheapest hot dogs in the NFL at $3.75 per dog fails to offset the price for admission. Congested traffic to and from Foxboro on Route 1 depleted their ranking as well.
The worst franchise goes to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs finished last in affordability, charging $116 a ticket, $30 more than any other hockey franchise and last in fan relations, because as ESPN notes, "why should management care when every game sells out, no matter what?" The Air Canada Centre experience disappoints so badly that many fans journey to Buffalo and Detroit to watch their beloved Maple Leafs skate.

Whether they are from the old Nintendo systems from the 1980's to the new generation of game consoles, there have always been some really great sports games. Sports games have actually been the staple for all gamers as well as sports fans from the beginning of video games. Here is a list of what expert gamers believe are the best to ever be released. Starting with number ten and working our way up to the number one ever.
At number ten we find Blitz by Playstation and Nintendo64 from 1998. This is an arcade style game that allowed gamers to be able to play a really fast paced, cheap shot football game that featured NFL teams and NFL players. It was licensed by the NFL until 2005 when they had to create a fictional league. They then changed it to Blitz: The League 2 that was released in 2008. This game is fast paced and has a lot of extras like juicing the players with certain stat boosting choices, snapping limbs back into place as well as getting players back on the field faster by giving them certain things to help them heal. There are slow motion cutaways that show gory injuries. Although this is a pretty brutal game, it still made the list for its originality.
Coming in at number nine is WWE '13 for PS3, Wii, Xbox360-2012. Even though wrestling may not be a sport in a true sense but there have been some really good ones on the market over the years and WWE '13 is one that should not be omitted because it is probably the best one. It features all the old characters from the 1990's as well as current WWE wrestlers and it allows gamers to control any wrestler even from the 90's through their careers. The gamers can choose to play the careers of current wrestlers or the careers of such wrestlers like Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, the Rock and many more.
At number eight is NBA 2011 for PS2 & 3, Wii, Xbox360-2010. For awhile Michael Jordan, the greatest of all was being omitted from video games this game brought him back and included him on the cover and in the game and players were able to play the legend throughout his career and experience some of his historic moments. Basically the game is like a simulated documentary that allows players to control the greatest player to play the game.
The number seven game on the list is MVP Baseball '05 for PS2, Xbox, GameCube – 2005. Most of the sports games that are about baseball really haven't done much to separate themselves from the rest, but this particular game did. It is probably ranked the best video baseball game that has ever been made. The game allowed players to be able to read a pitch while they were batting, there was the ability to slide to certain areas of any base, head or feet first and the gamer could control all the aspects of baseball operations when they went to build a custom baseball stadium. It was also the first game to ever have a batter/pitcher interface and included minor league levels as well.
Bulls vs Blazers and the NBA Playoffs for Sega and SNES – 1992 comes in at number six. This game release has Michael Jordon in full glory from his famous air reverse to Jordon playing in full force this game put itself above the rest during its time. The graphics were great and all the players actually looked like who they were, which is even rare for games these days. Each player had their own signature moves displayed inn the game as well. Some of the features range from Horace Grant and his goggles, Tom Chambers busting a double pump dunk to Shawn Kemp boasting an off the glass alley oop. This is just a fraction of what this game offered and it remains one of the best basketball games to have hit the gaming market.
Number five on the list is Madden '05 for GameCube, PS, PS2 and Xbox – 2004. Probably the best known gaming franchise in all of the sports game world as well as one of the most successful series of video games ever created. Since 1998 the Madden franchise has been a staple in the video game world and continues to be. This particular edition gets on the top ten list because it introduced what is known as the hit stick to the defense and it reestablished the defense's effectiveness as a whole unit. This was because many gamers complained that the offensive side of the game had become too dominant.
Coming in at the 4th best sports game ever is Mike Tyson's Punch-out!! for NES – 1987. Yes, there was a newer version from 2009 for Wii called Punch-out!! however, it can't beat the original. It had classic characters like Glass Joe, King Hippo and Soda Popinski all having their own specific weaknesses that were key to their defeat. Without know what their weaknesses were they were basically indestructible. The game became an instant addiction for gamers of the time. It also had a storyline about Little Mac's ascent which helped to give the game success right away. The best part of all for gamers was the showdown at the end against Mike Tyson.
The number three spot is given to NBA Jam for Sega and SNES – 1993. This made for a great game because of its simple controls, the 2 on 2 action, no fouls, no free throws and there were no out of bounds. It was a timeless game that had releases in both 2003 and 2010 and the original seamlessly melded into the new versions by offering updated rosters and the ability to still play the older teams and players.
Coming in at second is NHL94 for Sega and SNES – 1993. This was the first ever hockey game to be licensed with the NHL and the NHLPA.
