Wyckoff, NJ (PRWEB) June 2, 2009

A New Jersey company has launched a web portal focusing on the spread offense in American Football. The spread offense, one of the biggest buzz words in the sport, has taken the level of offensive football to new heights over the past 3 years.

The websites SpreadOffense.com and accompanying video sharing platform SpreadOffense.tv are leveraging this popularity by offering a one stop shop for football coaches and players.

The two sites will work in synergy to offer news, coaching tools, playbooks, articles, forums, a video sharing library, and blog for online users. “This is a very exciting project we have undertaken and offering a quality product for the many football coaches who have a true passion for the spread offense is our top priority,” said Mark Colyer, founder of SpreadOffense.com.

Colyer, a former high school football coach who effectively used the spread offense in his coaching days, mentioned that the site has endless potential and that in 2010 he plans on launching a player and coaches camp series throughout the United States.

“The powerful recall ability and branding of SpreadOffense.com sets a great foundation for us to build on, and with coaches and players from Pop Warner, high school, and college always looking to improve and sharpen their spread offense skills, we want to be the first brand that comes to mind.”

The online video sharing platform at SpreadOffense.tv is especially intriguing, as this will allow coaches, players, and fans of the spread offense to log-in and upload video clips of game film, practice film, training sessions, camps, and instructional pieces for all to share and comment on.

The spread offense has exploded onto the scene in American football primarily due to the fact that teams can leverage an athletic, sometimes dual (pass and run) threat quarterback to place more pressure on the opposing defense. Even in the NFL, a league that solely showcased a ‘pass only’ quarterback since the 1950’s is experimenting with a ‘pass and run’ threat at the quarterback position.

“What makes the word ’spread offense’ so unique is the mystery of its true definition, said Colyer. Is it a formation, a philosophy, a style of play, a play tempo, a run dominant offense, a pass dominant offense, a shot-gun only offense, an option read offense, or a combination of them all? At SpreadOffense.com, we hope to dive into all of this and even help defenses try to stop the spread offense or slow it down…”

If you are interested in strategic alliances/partnerships with our online properties or hosting a summer 2010 spread offense football camp at your high school, junior football facility, recreation facility, or college, please contact us.

SAN ANTONIO, TX (PRWEB) December 17, 2004

He likes his wings, he likes them messy, and he likes them hot. That is why Charles Loflin opened his 11th Wingstop in San Antonio on December 2, with another in the works.

“I’ve just got to have that barbeque flavor,” he said. “I’m a big fan of the product.”

Six years ago, Loflin, with his franchisee group CNL Wings VII, Inc., was the first person to take the Wingstop brand out of Dallas, an endeavor that has served him well.

The store, located at 2911 West Ave. in the Basse-West Shopping Center, is in a market Loflin felt was underdeveloped prior to his arrival.

“Through our first full week of business, the store is doing remarkably well,” he said. “The area we are in is experiencing tremendous growth.”

While his favorite flavor remains original hot, Loflin was one of the first to feature the brands newest flavor, Hickory Smoked, as well as their most recent side item: cold slaw. All Wingstops will have the products in their restaurants by mid-December.

Wingstops are open from 4:00 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, and from 11:00 a.m. to midnight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Orders can be phoned in to the new location at 210-314-4000.

The chain offers restaurants with a nostalgic, aviation-themed atmosphere where the sole focus is on chicken wings. Wingstop features eight proprietary wing flavors, including Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian Barbeque and Garlic Parmesan. The wings are always made-to-order and served steaming-hot. Customers also choose from homemade side dishes: fresh-cut seasoned fries, bourbon baked beans, pearl potato salad, vegetable sticks, rolls and assorted dipping sauces.

Wingstop has opened 205 restaurants and has over 176 under development in 26 states and consistently tops industry growth rankings. This July, Wingstop was ranked number four in Restaurants & Institutions’ ‘Top 400 Sales-Growth Leaders’ (the only wing chain in the top ten). Also in July, Wingstop ranked number seven in Restaurant Business’ ‘Top 50 Growth Chains’ (ranked by percentage increase in units) and number three in their list of chains by increase in average unit volume. Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboy and Super Bowl MVP, signed on as the chain’s national spokesman in 2003.

Manchester, England (PRWEB) May 29, 2004

U4CAST launched at the start of May 2004 with its European Football Championship based prediction game. Cash prizes, ease of use, payments for referring new members and head-to-head mini league competitions are the key elements that make the game so exciting.

U4CAST will push a static and predictable segment of the online game market in a new direction by offering a fully functional offline game which requires no new software. Now, all those sport mad office workers with restricted web access will no longer miss out on the fun and excitement in Portugal this summer. The offline game provides all the online functionality without the need to install any new software.

Add the fact that players can earn cash from referring their friends to the game’s ease of use and the game is a predicted winner. The referral method works on levels of referrals with each level earning the player a percentage of all the payments on that level. The levels create a network of members which will last as long as the player is part of U4CAST. It’s not only individuals who can pocket cash either: corporate tie-ins mean that businesses can earn revenue from referrals in the same manner as any other U4CAST member.

“We want to give people an enjoyable experience and reward people for helping us grow. Too many businesses rely on word of mouth without actually rewarding those that help build their reputations: we do not wish to take our customers for granted!” – Pev Gattei, Managing Director, taken from the Trafford football club website who are sponsored by U4CAST.

Several more games are in the pipeline, with a grand prix based game just around the corner which will run for the remainder of the 2004 season. In the coming months there will be offerings based on the English, French, German, Spanish and Italian football leagues plus a host of other sports.

All the U4CAST games will provide an overall league for players to measure their performance against as well as unlimited mini-league action for those who want to take on their friends or colleagues in a head-to-head competition. International head-to-heads and team based mini leagues will be sure to turn up the heat this summer.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 6, 2007

Last week he was interviewed extensively to say that the oddsmakers had the right team, but that they did not go far enough. He declared that the Colts should soundly defeat the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI and he was right. The inventor of the Mental Performance Index(TM) (MPI(TM)), Dr. John F. Murray, who works with NFL players and has used the index throughout the last five NFL seasons to quantify the degree to which a team performs to perfection, has now beaten the official spread 4 of 5 years.

This pre-game Super Bowl forecast was published on the front page of Palm Beach Daily News with a photo of Dr. Murray at: http://www.smarttennis.com/pbdailynewsfrontpage020407.htm

The complimentary Super Bowl numerology by “The Football Shrink,” is posted on his website: http://www.JohnFMurray.com. Indianapolis won the game 29-17 on the scoreboard, and on the MPI they also won .525 to .480 on the total score. The Colts performed better than than the Bears in all six other categories as well.

The Colts were stellar in pressure defensive situations where they posted a .700 to .547 advantage over the Bears. They also held the advantage on offense (.512 to .462), special teams (.543 to .487), defense (.540 to .490), pressure offense (.559 to .275) and total pressure (.611 to .442).

Indianapolis so decisively outperformed Chicago, as expected on the MPI forecast before the game, that even this final score underestimated the degree of domination by the Colts. It was a game that the Colts could have easily won by 3 or 4 touchdowns.

The 45-year-old Ph.D. licensed sport/performance psychologist in Palm Beach assigns points on each play throughout the playoffs for “focused execution,” “pressure management,” and “reduction of mental errors,” and game totals range from .000 to 1.000 (perfection).

“Scoring at .600 is excellent,” said Murray. The Colts’ .547 average throughout the playoffs, before the Super Bow, was very impressive.

As NFL coach Herman Edwards once said, “On every play somebody screws up.” Many good football coaches encourage their teams to place their focus on one play at a time. The MPI measures how well a team does this. Its power comes from the number of plays in a game (approximately 150) and the inclusion of mental factors in the scoring. While the MPI scores almost always predict to game outcome, the scores show which teams are performing better, in precisely which specific areas, and regardless of which team won. This gives coaches great insight before their upcoming games. They are able to more clearly see not only how their own team is performing, but to anticipate the fine differences, strengths and weaknesses of their oppoents in a scoring system that standardizes performance like a baseball batting average.

The MPI accurately forecast the blowout upset win by Tampa Bay over Oakland four years ago (in Arizona Republic), and forecast “extremely close games” the next two years, beating the official spread each of the first 3 years it was used and broadcast in the national media. Last year, in its 4th public use, the MPI accurately forecast that Seattle would perform better on offense and defense and worse on special teams than the Pittsburgh Steelers. The MPI indeed showed that Seattle would perform better, but for the first time in the 4 Super Bowls, the lower performing team on the MPI won the game primarily due to three rare big plays that altered the outcome. There was also some heavy criticism about the referees. This shows that sometimes even the best data available will occasionally not predict outcome … even while predicting to performance as the MPI has done each of the previous four years. Since the Colts won by more than the official spread of 7.5 points, the MPI forecast has beaten the official spread 4 of the first 5 years.

The MPI has been featured by ESPN The Magazine (December, 2002) and Murray has appeared on hundreds of radio and television stations to discuss the MPI and sport psychology. Last year, Dr. Murray discussed the MPI on ESPN Canada, ABC television in West Palm Beach and CBS television in Sacramento. Previous appearances include Westwood One national radio, ESPN Radio affiliates (e.g., Dallas, TX and Blacksburg, VA), Ron Jacober’s award winning “Sports on Sunday Morning” on KMOX in St. Louis, Mo., numerous radio programs in Canada, and Bloomberg Radio. He made multiple media appearances leading up to the game this year and his system was featured in the Los Angels Times and on the front page of the Palm Beach Daily News (http://www.smarttennis.com/pbdailynewsfrontpage020407.htm) among many others.

Murray provides lectures, mental coaching, and sport psychology services to athletes and teams in many sports and he has worked with NFL players. He authored “Smart Tennis: How to Play and Win the Mental Game,” endorsed by Lindsay Davenport, and Vincent Spadea credited Murray for helping him overcome the longest losing streak in tennis history. Dr. Murray just returned from the Australian Open where he was the official coach of Vincent Spadea who got his first win in eight years of this tournament.

Dr. Murray is available for interviews.

It appears the Cardinals aren’t going to score a lot of points, so games will be close …
