The increasing popularity of Gamma-O V2 Series from Gamma Labs reflects the demand for bodybuilding supplements that naturally boost testosterone levels. Commonly realized benefits include increased athletic performance and speedier muscle recovery.
The use of naturally derived testosterone boosters can also reduce muscle pain and are directly attributed to more effective workouts, among other health benefits.
As a sought after testosterone booster, the compound known as gamma oryzanol has greatly evolved from original use in the treatment of anxiety. The testosterone boosting properties of Gamma-O stem from a sophisticated process which extracts plant sterols from the simple ingredients of corn, rice, and barley.
The health benefits of gamma oryzanol include the release of mood enhancing endorphins, antioxidants to destroy free radicals and naturally elevated levels of testosterone production.
The Gamma-O V2 Series has parlayed these factors into the all-natural testosterone booster of choice among many bodybuilders and athletes of various sports.

If ESPN was my teenage son, I’d smack him on the wrist and tell him how disgusted and disappointed I am in him right now. While catching up on the daily butchering of sports headlines yesterday, ESPN did the unthinkable and put something on our TV screens more appalling then Skip Bayless himself. Country singer Kenny Chesney was featured on Jon Gruden’s Quarterback Camp. Why you ask… There is no answer. If you’re a Kenny Chesney fan, go ahead and press the X-icon on your computer screen, because a rant is in store.
Surely ESPN thought that featuring the country singer would be a good way to mix it up, keep things loose and show some wit. It was the complete opposite. All respect has officially been also been lost for Jon Gruden in the process. The Super Bowl winning coach, turned Monday Night Football host totally sells out and goes all-in on this one. Gruden went far enough to break down the X’s and O’s with Chesney by comparing it to concerts and stage positions.
ESPN needs a gut check. Unfortunately this small sports blog doesn’t carry enough clout be the strong-arm in that operation. ESPN used to be a network that broke down the daily sports news and had a few shows that sparked some good debate. Now, it’s essentially become the TMZ of the sports world while at the same time having some sort of sick infatuation with Tim Tebow. That’s enough of the rant as the point has been made the horse has been beaten. Bottom line, shame on you ESPN for putting such worthless content on your network. From now on, stick to the simple SportsCenter segments of old and keep delivering on the 30 For 30 documentaries.
After two plus years, it was time for a little change. The Meat Locker has gotten a facelift! Hopefully everybody agrees and likes the improvements. Some more changes will continue to be implemented, but this will be the new overall look. If you’ve become accustomed to reading the site on your mobile device or tablet, you probably won’t notice much of a change. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page on your mobile device, click ‘view site’ and see the changes for yourself. What do you guys think?
Shaun White, A.K.A “The Flying Tomato” just got a little more aerodynamic after cutting off his famous red locks. White donated his hair to “Locks Of Love.” Whites dominating X-Game performances along with his famed hair have out him on the map as arguably the most decorated snowboarder in the history of the sport. Hats off to White for donating to such a great charity.
For a guy who finds it as the ultimate struggle to throw a catchable frisbee to my black lab in the backyard, gotta throw a little respect to this guy. Brodie Smith is apparently the “Johnny McEntee” (football trick-shot) and the “Remi Gaillard” (soccer trick-shot) of the frisbee world. Smith documents his journey around the world by trick-shotting at some amazing locations. Take the next five minutes to enjoy this one.

Former Cal quarterback Joe Ayoob just became important, or about as important as he can be. Aside from being the guy who faced the daunting task of replacing current NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers in college, Ayoob is managing squeeze out the last 57 seconds of his fifteen minutes of fame. Ayoob attempted the world record off tossing a paper airplane, and toss he did. Ayoob managed to launch the paper airplane 226 ft 10 inches. The commentary on this video however totally blows away Ayoob’s accomplishments, these guys mean business.

I get the question a lot. “Did you always want to be a sports broadcaster?” And each time I answer, I say no. While most tend to be disappointed in my response, I am only telling the truth. Growing up, I didn’t dream of covering sports for a living, I dreamed of playing them.
I developed a love for sports at a very young age. Throughout my childhood, I couldn’t get enough of them. I swam year-round, played soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball and even ran track. In high school I lettered in six different varsity sports. Sports were my life and I couldn’t imagine a life without them.
When it came time to choose a college, I accepted a scholarship to play soccer at the University of South Carolina. My major at USC was Exercise Science, because at the time I thought I wanted to become a nutritionist. After a year at South Carolina, I decided I wasn’t happy with my soccer career. During my sophomore year, I transferred to play for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. And it was at Charlotte, where I decided to pursue a degree in Journalism.
During my senior year at Charlotte, I attended a women’s leadership luncheon. At the luncheon, I sat next to Danielle Trotta. At the time, Danielle was the weekend sports anchor at WBTV, the CBS affiliate in Charlotte. I spoke to her about my interest in sports broadcasting, and she invited me to become an intern in the sports department at WBTV, an offer which I gladly accepted.
While at WBTV, I learned what it was like to work in sports. I spent a majority of my free time in the sports department learning from Danielle. She was a great mentor. Danielle taught me how to edit, shoot, and write a sportscast. At the time – I didn’t have a resume reel, so she took me out one day – and we made one.
With resume reel in hand, I finished my internship at WBTV and graduated from UNC Charlotte. While I was told it would be very hard to get my first job in sports, I remained hopeful. I emailed every sports anchor and reporter in the southeast. In each email I asked that person if they could use any help, an editor, a photographer, anything. I knew that getting my foot in the door was the most important part to getting where I wanted to be, so I was willing to accept any position that was given to me.
Several months went by after graduation and I was starting to get discouraged. I had not been able to get a job. No one wanted to take a chance on someone with no experience. But just as I was starting to lose hope, I was introduced to Ashleigh Messervy. At the time, Ashleigh was an anchor at the FOX affiliate in Columbia, SC. Ashleigh got me a job as an associate producer for the station’s morning show. It wasn’t a sports job, but it was my foot in the door – and that’s all that mattered to me.
After a long year of reporting to work each day at 1 a.m., I was promoted from associate producer to mid-day reporter. As a news reporter I spent a majority of my time covering crime, politics and city hall meetings. (I hated it, but I tried to remain positive.) During the Fall, I volunteered to help shoot high school football games. I worked 14-hour days during this time, but I was following my passion. The football, made covering politics and city hall meetings a little less hard to swallow.
Two years passed and I felt it was time to make my move into sports. I made a meeting with my news director. In the meeting – I told him about my passion for sports. He, like many people in my past, told me there was no future in sports broadcasting. He said it was a shrinking market and that I would be better off staying in news. He offered me an anchoring position on the station’s morning show, but I declined. Despite his attempt to sway my decision, he graciously gave me the weekend sports anchor position at FOX.
As the weekend sports anchor – I worked longer days than ever before. I would shoot, edit, write, produce and anchor my own sportscasts. It was hard, but it was fun. It was stressful, but it was worth it. I was finally a sports anchor and I loved what I was doing.
A year after I got my first job as a sports anchor, I accepted a position to be a sports reporter and fill-in anchor at WBMA in Birmingham, Al. I’ve only been at WBMA for six months– but in those six months, I’ve produced one of the nation’s best high school football shows, traveled to every college football stadium in the SEC, and covered a BCS National Championship.
It took me three and a half years to get to where I am today. While that doesn’t seem like a long time initially, I feel like I have come a long way. (Especially when I remember midnight drives to work, weekends I gave up in college to work as a sports intern, or sitting in long city hall meetings – where I was dreaming of a position in sports.) I didn’t always grow up wanting to be a sports broadcaster, but now I know it is the only job that is right for me.
I realize as well, that none of this could have been possible without the kindness of others: My family, Danielle Trotta, Ashleigh Messervy, and the many other kind people who have assisted me through my career. While it’s been a fun ride so far, I cannot wait to see where the next three and half years take me!
My advice to others: Follow your passion, don’t let others talk you out of what you truly want and go for it!
In honor of Jim Rome packing his bags and leaving for the new CBS Sports Network, we decided to share this classic Rome clip. Here, Rome gets owned by former NFL quarterback Jim Everett. Rome invited Everett onto his show back in the day only to insult the man repeatedly. Rome continually calls Everett “Chris” in reference to the popular female tennis player, Chris Evert from the 90’s. After JIM Everett warns Rome to stop, he decides to take the matter into his own hands and embarrass Rome on his own show.
Rome has spent the better part of two decades with ESPN and the last eight years hosting Rome Is Burning. Rome’s contract just recently ended with the network and was offered a new role with the CBS Sports Network in what is being described as an undetermined “larger” role.
Expect Rome to bring his same “shock jock” style with him to CBS. It’s what he’s known for and it’s whats made him one of the most entertaining and powerful sports hosts out there. Best of luck to Rome at the new network, while ESPN has to wonder how in the hell they’re going to replace somebody of Rome’s caliber. This move is a little more significant than Max Kellerman leaving for FOX Sports in 2004. Kellerman eventually came crawling back to ESPN later in 2006. Don’t hold your breath for Rome to do the same.
