(PRWEB) December 14, 2005

This week’s top 2 surprises came from the NFC East, where Dallas WR Terry Glenn and Eagles backup RB Ryan Moats posted impressive stat lines for week 14. Glenn, almost out of football a couple of years ago, is resurrecting his career under Bill Parcells (his former mentor in New England). Glenn posted 6 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown, plus a rushing touchdown.

?It?s surprising to see Glenn do much of anything, considering the fact he was an absolute bust in Green Bay and struggled his first couple of years in Dallas,? says Todd Lokken, President of Strategic Fantasy Football.

Ryan Moats, on the other hand, was expected to have a decent stats week, but nobody expected him to perform as well as Brian Westbrook, the Eagles starting RB. Moats thrashed the New York Giants with 114 yards rushing on only 11 carries while scoring 2 touchdowns. ?It appears as if Philadelphia may get lucky and not miss Westbrook at all,? says Lokken.

Up in Green Bay, another fantastic story continues with Packer RB Samkon Gado. Gado, up against another weak defense, ran for 171 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions. In fact, the 171 yards by Gado is a Green Bay Packer rookie record, which is quite an accomplishment considering the history of the franchise.

Another rookie RB coming to life was Cadillac Williams, who helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers steamroll the Carolina Panthers 20-10. Williams, who started out strong with three straight 100-yard rushing games early this year, had slowed down quite a bit here in the middle of the season. However, as the games wind down, Williams seems to have found a second wind, and has put up over 400 yards in the last 4 weeks. Against the Panthers in week 14, Williams was good for 29 rushes, 112 yards, and 2 touchdowns.

The last running back on this week?s list for surprise performers is Jerome Bettis of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only did the Steeler offense manhandle a tremendous Chicago Bear defense, but Bettis took the team on his back and led them to victory. In the snow and mud of Pittsburgh, Bettis rushed for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns.

?Considering the fact that Bettis had not reached 60 yards rushing in any game this year, his performance in week 14 was spectacular and astonishing,? says Lokken.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) February 9, 2006 ?-

E Solutions Corporation, a hosting and application development firm with Tier One data center operations, has nearly doubled its data center capacity with the acquisition of Genuity, Inc.?s Tampa assets in the wake of that company?s bankruptcy and subsequent acquisition by Level 3.

Genuity had occupied a 9,060-square-foot, multimillion-dollar build-out on the seventh floor of Tampa?s Park Tower. E Solutions acquired Genuity?s assets from the building?s owner, Sterling American Property Inc., and entered into a long-term lease for the seventh-floor space. The dollar value of the acquisition was not released.

E Solutions has occupied Park Tower?s 16th floor since 2002, when it took over space originally constructed by Aperian, Inc. for $ 10 million. That floor houses the Company?s existing Tier One, 16,000-square-foot Phase I Data Center and administrative operations.

?The expanded capacity and capabilities of the new Phase II Data Center will not only allow us, as a company, to reach out to larger organizations in need of co-location and enterprise-level hosting services, but will also support economic development in the Tampa Bay region as a whole by ensuring the infrastructure is in place to support the major corporations that move into the area,? said Richard Nicholas, CEO, E Solutions. ?E Solutions is now one of only two data centers in the region with this level of capacity, and we achieved that without incurring debt or utilizing any kind of outside funding.?

Adds E Solutions President Michael Morizio: ?Our new Phase II Data Center shares the same high-level security, connectivity, availability and expert technical staff support as our Phase I Data Center. In fact, we?re built to physically withstand most natural or man-made disasters, including Kevlar-reinforced walls, triple redundant generators, and parallel UPS systems; we have no single points of failure.?

In addition to secured access from the ground floor to the elevators, access inside the Phase I and Phase II Data Centers is strictly monitored and controlled with pass cards. E Solutions? Data Centers also feature surveillance and round-the-clock monitoring, as well as state-of-the-art physical security including:

** Ionic ?sniffers? to detect overheating

** An Inergen gas fire suppression system

** A dual pre-action dry pipe sprinkler system

** Kevlar-reinforced walls

** Concrete reinforced bunker surrounding the exterior of the seventh floor (Phase II Data Center)

** Three backup generators and fuel

In addition, the Data Centers are cooled with 11 20-ton Liebert Air Conditioning units and feature overhead high-tech cable trays, raised flooring and elevated racks. Also unique is E Solutions location; the Company is situated on Tampa?s two high-priority power grids and is housed in the region?s ?Telco Hotel,? giving the Company direct fiber connectivity to its carriers burstable to OC192. The Data Centers are also on top of the regional telecommunications infrastructure, so bandwidth can quickly be added to the Company?s private conduits as necessary.

E Solutions? Phase I Data Center, which is near capacity, is home to many of the region?s professional sports franchises, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Tampa Bay Storm, as well as 13 Major League Baseball teams. Other companies that contract with E Solutions for services ranging from custom application design and development, co-location and fully managed enterprise-level hosting services, and network management and security include SipStorm, MD TalkNet, Dollar/Thrifty Rent-A-Car, Disney/Buena Vista Pictures, PricewaterhouseCoopers, IBM and the American Red Cross.

About E Solutions Corporation

E Solutions (http://www.esnet.com) is a Tampa-based hosting and application development firm that creates and hosts software solutions that enable clients ranging from global Fortune 100 firms to mid-sized and small businesses to attain significant return on their IT investments.

(Vocus) October 22, 2008

Charlottesville, VA October 22, 2008 — With his 17-foot barbecue trailer now sporting a flat-panel TV and a monstrous audio system, Michael Seville tempts many a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan to miss the opening kickoff.

When he heard about Crutchfield’s “You Dream It, We’ll Help You Built It – Taligate Dreams?” contest Michael, a resident of Deland, Florida, knew he had the perfect excuse to knock the rust off of the barbecue trailer he inherited from his father. For years, the trailer was a big part of his family’s concession business, but it had been sitting idle for quite some time.

Entrants were challenged by the Crutchfield team to submit the most unique idea for a tailgate entertainment system using the world-class A/V gear currently available for purchase at http://www.crutchfield.com. Michael was pleasantly surprised to learn that he had been selected as a finalist, but then reality set in. To win the grand prize, he would have to build the system and submit photos within four weeks.

“I went to work quickly and quickly found out I was in for much more than originally planned,” Michael said. “The trailer was pretty much full of rotten wood and would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. My good friend John really stepped up and helped me tear into the project. After completely removing the wood, we had another surprise waiting for us. A 3-foot section of the frame had significant rust and would need some welding before we could begin the build up! urggg!”

After many late nights and long hours Michael and John finally had everything together and cranked it up on the day of the deadline.

“WOOHOO! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am with the end result.” Michael said. “The system sounds amazing! The picture on the Samsung TV is even better than expected.”

Fan reaction to the trailer has been “consistently jaw-dropping,” he said. “! I love the look on the faces of people who see it. I even had a buddy bring me a whole beer tap set-up and say, ‘Here you go! This thing calls for a beer tap.’ “

The winning entry embodies the spirit of creativity and innovation Crutchfield’s customers and staff exude day in and day out, said Doug, Michael’s advisor at Crutchfield. “It’s clear that Michael’s put a tremendous amount of time and effort into this project — and it’s paid off.”

The system includes a Samsung TV, a Valor DVD receiver with iPod

Fair Lawn, NJ (PRWEB) March 18, 2010

Just months after being cut from the Golf Channel TV show, Paul and Matt contracted for exhibiting space at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL. The largest golf industry show in the world with over 35,000 attendees.

Armed with only two prototypes in hand, and no actual nets to sell, the brothers demonstrated their new net design to the audience of industry professionals. As the only training net in the world that automatically returns a ball to a athlete, Paul and Matt’s design wowed the audience.

The brothers’ golf net can safely absorb golf shots in excess of 225 mph, gently returning the ball to the tee. The industry also loved the “Instant Shot Feedback”, providing golfers insight into each shot they take. The net can easily be transported in a lightweight duffle bag and takes a person five minutes or less to set up. Another great advantage is that the net can be used for multiple sports: Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Football and Lacrosse.

Following the PGA Merchandise Show, purchase requests came in from golf industry professionals and organizations from around the world. With this momentum Paul and Matt officially launched their new startup company called The Net Return.

Over the next year major golf and sporting good retailers began calling, looking to distribute and sell their new net. Paul and Matt took the unusual step of declining the offers of big box retailers and instead, sell through their own website – http://www.TheNetReturn.com, along with Amazon.com They also made the decision to manufacture their product in the U.S.A.

The Net Return has quickly been adopted by such well known organizations as the PGA, Cincinnati Reds, Bridgestone Golf, Titleist Performance Institutes, Clemson, BYU, and the University of Connecticut, among others. The U.S. Military now use Net Return golf nets for Soldier recreation in Iraq and Afghanistan, while the Veterans Administration are using the sport nets in over 35 Army Hospitals, including Walter Reed, for the rehabilitation of wounded and disabled veterans. This is due in large part to the efforts and funding of Golf Supports Our Troops.

The Net Return is now introducing its second product called The Net Return “Extra Point” – a training net specifically designed for football punters and placekickers. After extensive testing and a limited release to NFL and College teams, the product will begin shipping in April of this year. The “Extra Point” provides significant advantages over traditional kicking nets. Advantages include: ball return, a catch feature (eliminating wet or waterlogged footballs) and the ability for a punter to warm up during critical game situations at full velocity. A feature not seen in traditional football nets.

NFL teams quickly saw the additional benefits for their punters and placekickers. The “Extra Point” is now being used by the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos, St. Louis Rams, San Francisco 49′ers and the Miami Dolphins.

Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 9, 2006

With the NFL playoffs having finally arrived, Dr. John F. Murray, AKA “football shrink” and “Freud of Football,” (Washington Post, 2005) is taking his unique scoring system known as the “Mental Performance Index (MPI),” public this year. He is publishing MPI statistics for every NFL playoff game and the Super Bowl on his website at http://www.JohnFMurray.com

The MPI is the first measure of overall performance including for mental factors developed in sports, and in this case America’s biggest sport of football.

As reported in America’s number two selling sports magazine in December, 2002, Murray developed the MPI and first began broadcasting MPI scores on his Miami radio station.

Murray, a licensed clinical and sport performance psychologist and NFL team consultant, created the MPI to help football coaches understand their team’s performances better. The MPI also demonstrates the extreme importance of mental factors in football by including in the scoring such factors as “pressure management,” “focused execution,” and “reduction of mental errors.”

In three very public tests of the accuracy of the MPI on radio and television stations worldwide, the MPI has correctly estimated the future performance of the teams in the national championship (Super Bowl XXXVII 2003, Super Bowl XXXVIII 2004, and Super Bowl XXXIX 2005), beating the spread each time, going counter to public opinion each time, and accurately forecasting the course of each game. More information is available at http://www.JohnFMurray.com

In 2003 the Oakland Raiders were favored to win easily over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The MPI, however, indicated that Tampa Bay was performing at a much higher level than Oakland. This was published in over ten major newspapers and broadcast on hundreds of radio stations worldwide including Bloomberg Radio, CNN Radio, and ABC Radio. Tampa Bay easily won the game.

In 2004 and 2005, MPI analyses showed the two competing teams to be relatively equal, forecasting extremely close games both times even though the New England Patriots were predicted to win by at least 7 points in each game. Murray’s analyses were reported on an even larger number of print and broadcasting media outlets including the biggest sports radio statons in several major markets, ESPN Radio in several markets, Canadian national radio, and hundreds of programs including Bloomberg Radio for the 2nd and 3rd years in a row.

How accurate was the MPI? The 2004 game was tied with 4 seconds remaining (3 point New England win) and the 2005 game was the first game in Super Bowl history to be tied entering the final quarter of play. New England again won by 3. Former NASA rocket scientist and internet guru from MIT Dr. Cliff Kurtzman, who publishes the “Tennis Server” where Murray produced a monthly sport psychology column from 1995-2001, wrote a public congratulations letter to Dr. Murray for the “MPI’s extreme accuracy three years in a row” after last year’s game.

The MPI goes way beyond theory and journalism. Murray has actually worked with NFL teams and players, and has received many endorsements from top coaches and athletes. He will appear on national radio and television stations for the 4th year in a row to discuss his MPI findings prior to the Super Bowl. Murray has been invited for the 4th straight year on host Bob Goldsholl’s “Bloomberg on the Ball.”

Beginning today, MPI scores will be available after every playoff weekend on Murray’s website at http://www.JohnFMurray.com. Murray will provide all the primary MPI scores including a total score, scores for offense, defense and special teams, pressure scores for offense and defense, and a total pressure score. Murray enters data into a computer program as he is watching and rating every play of every game in the playoffs.

Readers can await Murray’s detailed interpretation on the website and radio programs before the Super Bowl, or draw their own conclusions from the weekly statistics he provides.

“The purpose of the MPI is to demonstrate how important the mental game is to any performance situation, and especially a team sport like football,” said Murray. “Coaches and players routinely claim that the mental game accounts for anywhere from 50% to 95% of performance and ultimate outcome, but then spend less than 2% of their training on mental skills,” said Murray. “This is probably because there are so few authentic sport psychologists and many old school coaches who are not comfortable changing.”

“Since the MPI has been so accurate three years in a row on the biggest sports stage in America, I think people are finally waking up. Innovative coaches like Nick Saban of the Miami Dolphins, for example, already tell their teams how important it is to stay in the moment and just perform your absolute best on one play and in the moment at hand. This is more than cliche. It is precisely what the MPI measures, performance in the moment, with a logical rating system that includes for mental facotrs and has been refined over time.”

Dr. Murray is available for interviews. MPI scores and analysis will be provided on the Monday following games at http://www.JohnFMurray.com
