GRANTLAND RICE
X (c. 1703 or 1704 – January 8, 1789) was an English bare-knuckle fighter. He
was the first person to ever codify a set of rules to be used in such contests;
prior to this the "rules" that existed were very loosely defined and tended to
                           vary from contest to contest.
  In 1741, he beat George Stevenson so badly in a 35 minute contest that a
   few days later Stevenson died; The tragedy upset him and in an effort to
    ensure that it would not happen again, he called together some of the
   patrons of his academy and drew up a set of rules that governed boxing
from August 16, 1743 until 1838, when a new code, "The London Prize Ring
                               Rules," was adopted.
   X also invented, or rediscovered, the boxing glove; It has been suggested
 that seeing a statue of a Greek boxer wearing the cestus gave him the idea
   of the padded glove; X's padded gloves were lightweight "mufflers" and
   used only in sparring - since matches were still bare-knuckle; The gloves
            were really to prevent damage to his aristocratic patrons.
      He was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and the
                   International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.

Is there really a Y?
 "Apart from sounding like a shadowy gang bent on world domination, is
      there really a Y?" asks Derrick Cameron. "What does it do, who is
     involved, and is there a secret handshake to become a member?"
     There is indeed a Y, Derrick. It’s job is to decide Z. Video evidence is
examined and debated by a three-person committee - consisting of former
   players and officials who have worked within football - and a judgment
                                  announced.
 The panel sits on an ad hoc basis whenever there have been a number of
_____ - generally around three or four times a season, but the exact make-
     up of the committee is shrouded in secrecy. "Their identities are not
  revealed so as to protect the game's integrity and avoid a panel member
    being put under pressure to make any particular decision," added the
                                  spokesman.
As per Wikipedia, it should be noted that the Committee does not enquire
                                   into:

# whether a goal has been scored. This is a matter for the officials attending
                          the match in question.

           #assists. These are attributed to players by their clubs.

Some 35 odd years ago, Thierry Sabine (pic) while en route to
  Nice on his bike, ended up taking a detour in the wilderness
             whose raw beauty left him awestricken.
His loss of navigational sense proved to be a blessing in disguise
and was turned into a worldwide gain, so to speak, the following

James Forman "Tod" Sloan (August 10, 1874 - December 21, 1933)
      was an American thoroughbred horse racing jockey. He was
    elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in
                                   1955.
   It was Sloan who popularized the forward seat style of riding, or
the “Z" as the British called it, when he began riding there in 1897.
  Initially laughed at, his style revolutionized the sport worldwide.
      (Although he did not invent it. The "American Seat" of short
stirrups and crouching over the horse's neck and withers was used
in the colonies as far back as the Quarter Horsedashes along tracks
 cut in the wilderness as well as being the preferred riding style of
  the Native Americans. Not only that, but two years before Sloan
   rode in England, the African American jockey, Willie Simms had
    ridden exactly that way taking England's Crawfurd Plate {sic) at
        Newmarket against England's finest bolt-upright riders.)

The Martyrs of the Battle of Marathon

Olympic Stadium, Munich
Widely regarded as a creative genius, and the best attacking
  player of all time, he played a daring, combinatorial style. His
play was known above all for improvisation and unpredictability.
 Every game, he once said, was as inimitable and invaluable as a
poem. He was also known as "The magician from Riga". Both The
 Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games (Burgess,
 Nunn & Emms 2004) andModern Chess Brilliancies (Evans 1970)
include more games by him than any other player. He was also a
                   highly-regarded chess writer.
    He holds the records for both the first and second longest
 unbeaten streaks in competitive chess history. Many authorities
consider him to have been the greatest attacking Grandmaster in
the history of chess. On May 28, 1992, dying from kidney failure,
 he left hospital to play at the Moscow blitz tournament, where
      he defeated Garry Kasparov. He died one month later.

• "There are two kinds of sacrifices: sound ones, and mine.“
• "To play for a draw, at any rate with White, is to some degree a
  crime against chess.“
• "I drink, I smoke, I gamble, I chase girls – but postal chess is one
  vice I don't have.“
• "If Black is going for victory, he is practically forced to allow his
  opponent to get some kind of well-known positional advantage.“
• "It is also important to remember that Bobby Fischer was a real
  chess gentleman during games. He was always very fair and very
  correct.“
• "You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5,
  and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.“
• "They compare me to Lasker, which is an exaggerated honour. He
  made mistakes in every game and I only in every second one!“
• Nevertheless, when asked about his opinion on who was the
  greatest player of all time, he answered: "Lasker, for he made
  miracles on the chessboard.”
Mikhail Tal




"Later, ... I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realised a very simple truth:
not only was I worried, but also my opponent."
The earliest known use of a Z to represent
 the then-town of X was on its corporate
  seal, dating from the 1350s. The seal is
now held by the British Museum. In 1668
the Earl of Derby gave the town council a
mace "engraved with ...a leaver", the first
   known reference to a YZ by what it is
   known today. In 1797 the College of
  Arms granted official arms to X, which
       depicts the Z in pride of place.

A _________ is a toy, invented in 1964 by chemist Norman
Stingley by compressing a synthetic rubber material under high
   pressure. It is extremely elastic and made of Zectron, which
contains the synthetic rubber polymerpolybutadiene, as well as
  hydrated silica, zinc oxide, stearic acid, and other ingredients
vulcanized with sulphur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius
    and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres (1,175 psi). It has an
amazingly high coefficient of restitution. Dropped from shoulder
level, they snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down by an
      average adult, it can leap over a three-story building.
   After watching his children play with a ___________, Lamar
Hunt coined the term Z. In a July 25, 1966, letter to Pete Rozelle,
  Hunt wrote, "I have kiddingly called it the ‘Z,' which obviously
 can be improved upon." Although the leagues' owners decided
   on some other name, the media immediately picked up on
                          Hunt's “Z" name.

  • 9. X (c. 1703 or 1704 – January 8, 1789) was an English bare-knuckle fighter. He was the first person to ever codify a set of rules to be used in such contests; prior to this the "rules" that existed were very loosely defined and tended to vary from contest to contest. In 1741, he beat George Stevenson so badly in a 35 minute contest that a few days later Stevenson died; The tragedy upset him and in an effort to ensure that it would not happen again, he called together some of the patrons of his academy and drew up a set of rules that governed boxing from August 16, 1743 until 1838, when a new code, "The London Prize Ring Rules," was adopted. X also invented, or rediscovered, the boxing glove; It has been suggested that seeing a statue of a Greek boxer wearing the cestus gave him the idea of the padded glove; X's padded gloves were lightweight "mufflers" and used only in sparring - since matches were still bare-knuckle; The gloves were really to prevent damage to his aristocratic patrons. He was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. [pic next slide]
  • 12. Is there really a Y? "Apart from sounding like a shadowy gang bent on world domination, is there really a Y?" asks Derrick Cameron. "What does it do, who is involved, and is there a secret handshake to become a member?" There is indeed a Y, Derrick. It’s job is to decide Z. Video evidence is examined and debated by a three-person committee - consisting of former players and officials who have worked within football - and a judgment announced. The panel sits on an ad hoc basis whenever there have been a number of _____ - generally around three or four times a season, but the exact make- up of the committee is shrouded in secrecy. "Their identities are not revealed so as to protect the game's integrity and avoid a panel member being put under pressure to make any particular decision," added the spokesman. As per Wikipedia, it should be noted that the Committee does not enquire into: # whether a goal has been scored. This is a matter for the officials attending the match in question. #assists. These are attributed to players by their clubs.
  • 13. Dubious Goal Panel Identity of the goal scorer
  • 16. A British government-backed meat promotion initiative. The X and Y TV adverts feature voices of these two athletes, whose characters share a home, cooking recipes in their kitchen using lamb and beef.

His loss of navigational sense proved to be a blessing in disguise and was turned into a worldwide gain, so to speak, the following year with the inception of __________.
  • 34. James Forman "Tod" Sloan (August 10, 1874 - December 21, 1933) was an American thoroughbred horse racing jockey. He was elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1955. It was Sloan who popularized the forward seat style of riding, or the “Z" as the British called it, when he began riding there in 1897. Initially laughed at, his style revolutionized the sport worldwide. (Although he did not invent it. The "American Seat" of short stirrups and crouching over the horse's neck and withers was used in the colonies as far back as the Quarter Horsedashes along tracks cut in the wilderness as well as being the preferred riding style of the Native Americans. Not only that, but two years before Sloan rode in England, the African American jockey, Willie Simms had ridden exactly that way taking England's Crawfurd Plate {sic) at Newmarket against England's finest bolt-upright riders.)

  • 39. The Martyrs of the Battle of Marathon
  • 42. Widely regarded as a creative genius, and the best attacking player of all time, he played a daring, combinatorial style. His play was known above all for improvisation and unpredictability. Every game, he once said, was as inimitable and invaluable as a poem. He was also known as "The magician from Riga". Both The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games (Burgess, Nunn & Emms 2004) andModern Chess Brilliancies (Evans 1970) include more games by him than any other player. He was also a highly-regarded chess writer. He holds the records for both the first and second longest unbeaten streaks in competitive chess history. Many authorities consider him to have been the greatest attacking Grandmaster in the history of chess. On May 28, 1992, dying from kidney failure, he left hospital to play at the Moscow blitz tournament, where he defeated Garry Kasparov. He died one month later. [next slide]
  • 43. • "There are two kinds of sacrifices: sound ones, and mine.“ • "To play for a draw, at any rate with White, is to some degree a crime against chess.“ • "I drink, I smoke, I gamble, I chase girls – but postal chess is one vice I don't have.“ • "If Black is going for victory, he is practically forced to allow his opponent to get some kind of well-known positional advantage.“ • "It is also important to remember that Bobby Fischer was a real chess gentleman during games. He was always very fair and very correct.“ • "You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.“ • "They compare me to Lasker, which is an exaggerated honour. He made mistakes in every game and I only in every second one!“ • Nevertheless, when asked about his opinion on who was the greatest player of all time, he answered: "Lasker, for he made miracles on the chessboard.”
  • 44. Mikhail Tal "Later, ... I began to succeed in decisive games. Perhaps because I realised a very simple truth: not only was I worried, but also my opponent."
  • 45. The earliest known use of a Z to represent the then-town of X was on its corporate seal, dating from the 1350s. The seal is now held by the British Museum. In 1668 the Earl of Derby gave the town council a mace "engraved with ...a leaver", the first known reference to a YZ by what it is known today. In 1797 the College of Arms granted official arms to X, which depicts the Z in pride of place. [next slide]

  • 50. A _________ is a toy, invented in 1964 by chemist Norman Stingley by compressing a synthetic rubber material under high pressure. It is extremely elastic and made of Zectron, which contains the synthetic rubber polymerpolybutadiene, as well as hydrated silica, zinc oxide, stearic acid, and other ingredients vulcanized with sulphur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres (1,175 psi). It has an amazingly high coefficient of restitution. Dropped from shoulder level, they snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down by an average adult, it can leap over a three-story building. After watching his children play with a ___________, Lamar Hunt coined the term Z. In a July 25, 1966, letter to Pete Rozelle, Hunt wrote, "I have kiddingly called it the ‘Z,' which obviously can be improved upon." Although the leagues' owners decided on some other name, the media immediately picked up on Hunt's “Z" name. [next slide]
  • 72. Pieter van den Hoogenband & Inge de Bruijn
