War Hero Following Through With Promise to Fallen Soldier to Play College Football

A 24 year old war hero named Daniel Rodriguez promised a fellow soldier that he would return to college to play division 1 football. His fallen friend was killed during a shootout in Afghanistan, in which Daniel was also injured. He received a bronze star for valor and a purple heart, for his heroic actions during combat. While he was stationed in Afghanistan, the soldiers "had nothin". He mentions that sometimes the soldiers would fill ammo cans and curl them for exercise. Back home, in the U.S. has been following his own workout routine (based on the one he did in Afghanistan), training, running routes, and drilling the books, to be able to get back into a division 1 college to live up to that promise he'd made. His workout is somewhat unconventional, involving lots of exercises that use his normal body weight. He also hired a production company to develop a highlight tape for him to send to colleges, in search of a scholarship.

A Triathlon AROUND THE GLOBE

An epic adventure enthusiast named Dan Martin is going to attempt a triathlon around the world. Yes, you read that correctly, AROUND THE WORLD. Dan is going to start his journey in New York by swimming across the Atlantic Ocean. Using a GPS device, he will swim 8 hour spurts, mark his location, get on a boat to rest, and jump back in at the same spot he stopped to continue his grueling swim. Once (if) he reaches France, Dan will bike across Europe, as well as Asia to the top right corner of Siberia. From there, he will trek through the snow and ice to the middle of Alaska, where he will start the running part of the journey. He'll run nearly half-way across Canada before crossing back into the United States and finishing back where he started in New York. If he finishes the triathlon, it will be the first time anyone has completed anything like it.

The Latest Craze - Tazer Ball!

One of the coolest, dumbest things I've ever seen. Think about a cross between handball and indoor soccer with tazers.
