Item: Mrs. Makin, Civic’s Teacher
Location:
by Joelle
Review: I had a teacher back in eighth grade that was very strict, very smart, and at the same time, my very favorite teacher of all time. Mrs. Makin was very timely, and had everything on a schedule, but then when she didn’t think that we were ready […]

Item: Urban Meyer
Location:
by Alim Kamat
Review: I think that Urban Meyer is one of the best coaches in the game of College Football today. At the University of Florida, he has made the team into regular National Championship Contenders as he was won two national championships in his short tenure over there and his […]

Item: Pete Carroll
Location:
by Alim Kamat
Review: I think that Pete Carroll, the coach of the USC Trojans, is one of the best college football coaches in the game today. I think that the results speak for themselves as he has won two national championships, and has won the Pac 10 for seven straight years […]

Item: Dick Jauron
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the Buffalo Bills have fired coach Dick Jauron with 7 games remaining in the season.
The firing isn’t really much of a surprise, though the timing is (I wonder if they wanted to get a head start on finding his replacement and maybe bring in a big name […]

Item: Brady Quinn
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the Cleveland Browns are likely going to start Brady Quinn at quarterback again starting this weekend. Seriously? What, they couldn’t find a veteran player or something to come in instead?
Quinn was never worth the high draft pick they spent on him. At most, he’s a developmental guy […]

Item: Josh Freeman
Location:
by Steve
Review: When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their rookie quarterback Josh Freeman this past weekend, a lot of people thought it meant the team would continue to lose as their new starter went through some growing pains.
Turns out they should have started him sooner.
Granted, the win came against the Packers, […]

Item: Javon Walker
Location:
by Steve
Review: I had to laugh today when I read Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker is looking to be released from the team because he feels he isn’t getting enough playing time.
Honestly, when is he going to realize he isn’t that great of a receiver?
Walker was overrated when he was […]

Item: Terrell Owens
Location:
by Steve
Review: Well, I will admit, Terrell Owens proved me wrong. I figured, by the halfway point in the season, the receiver would find a way to complain his way out of Buffalo but, 8 games after signing as a free agent, he has remained relatively quiet; at least compared to […]

Item: Manny Pacquiao
Location:
by Collette
Review: Manny Pacquiao, dubbed today as the pound-for-pound king in boxing, gives every Filipino reason to be proud and hopeful. He came from humble beginnings in General Santos City and got into boxing just to have a means of living to raise his family. He got more than what he […]

Item: Tessanne Chin
Location:
by Redtape
Review: The first time I heard about the singer Tessane Chin was about a year or so before she first released her hit reggae-rock single “Hideaway” in Jamaica. My friend had seen her perform at a cafe here in Jamaica one day when other rock bands were also performing and […]

Item: Roy Williams
Location:
by Steve
Review: Last year, the Dallas Cowboys sent a whole mess of draft picks to the Detroit Lions for receiver Roy Williams.
I never thought I would ever say this about Detroit, but they got the better end of that deal.
I’m not sure what Dallas was thinking. This is the same franchise […]

Item: Brian Westbrook
Location:
by Steve
Review: The Philadelphia Eagles are saying running back Brian Westbrook should be able to play against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend. This is good news for the Eagles because they need him. But, I think the team really needs to start looking for a long term replacement.
Westbrook is easily one […]

Item: Marc Bulger
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the St. Louis Rams are going to stick with Marc Bulger as their starting quarterback. Was there really any reason to consider otherwise?
Look, I know Bulger hasn’t been having a great season and has been showing signs of decline for a while. But, name one other quarterback […]

Item: Mark Tauscher
Location:
by Steve
Review: The Packers seem to be ready to start Mark Tauscher at right tackle beginning this week. It’ll be interesting to see if that happens and whether or not it will improve some of the pass protection on that offensive line.
A lot of people wanted to see Tauscher starting weeks […]

Item: Miles Austin
Location:
by Steve
Review: Chad Ochocinco usually doesn’t offer a lot of insight into anything. But, he had a point about number one NFL receivers; they are the go-to guy because they have a chemistry with the quarterback.
That’s the case with surprise star Miles Austin; a receiver I never even heard of this […]

Item: Ty Law
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the Denver Broncos signed Ty Law; or at least agreed to terms with him considering he still needs to pass a physical.
This is an interesting signing because I’m really not sure how much of an impact the veteran cornerback will have on the team.
I can’t say it’s […]

Item: Edgerrin James
Location:
by Steve
Review: There is a time when every NFL running back realizes it is time for them to retire. I think this might be the time for former Indianapolis Colts star Edgerrin James.
Apparently, the Seahawks have released James after signing him this year to add some depth to their backfield. This […]

Item: Chris Chambers
Location:
by Steve
Review: I have been following receiver Chris Chambers since he was playing for the Wisconsin Badgers. And, I’m glad to see he is getting a chance to continue his football career a bit longer after being signed by the Kansas City Chiefs a day after being cut by the San […]

Item: Tom Cable
Location:
by Steve
Review: I’m watching the news regarding Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable with great interest. Simply because I knew I would see something like this eventually happen when they decided to hire him as the coach.
Look, it’s pretty bad when the owner hires you and doesn’t know a thing about […]

Item: Terrence McGee
Location:
by Steve
Review: The Buffalo Bills seem to be fighting back this season but have to be concerned about an injury to starting cornerback Terrence McGee.
McGee isn’t a name you are going to hear mentioned among the league’s top corners. But, that probably has more to do with where he plays than […]

Item: Travis Daniels
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran defensive back Travis Daniels to add some depth to their secondary after a couple injuries there. It was a necessary move but not one that is going to turn any heads either.
For his part, Daniels has been an OK player. […]

Item: Jarvis Green
Location:
by Steve
Review: I see the Patriots lost starting defensive end Jarvis Green for at least a couple of weeks. This is a huge blow to a team that is having a great season so far.
Even though I think he might be a bit on the small side to be playing defensive […]

Item: Jamal Lewis
Location:
by Steve
Review: I just finished reading an article about Browns running back Jamal Lewis and how he plans on retiring after this season. I don’t really think it’s that big of a surprise if you ask me.
Even though he is only 30 now, that’s the time when most running backs start […]

Item: Tyjuan Hagler
Location:
by Steve
Review: Well, things aren’t totally perfect for the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. They announced today that they are losing their starting linebacker Tyjuan Hagler for the season due to an injury. That will be a big hit to that defense.
OK, maybe not that big of a hit. He’s technically a starter […]

Item: Randy Lerner
Location:
by Steve
Review: I was reading today about how Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner took the time to meet with some upset fans to talk about his team. That’s a great gesture considering the Browns are losing once again and the fan base is probably losing patience with him as an owner. […]
