Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Ice Dancing - Free Dance
The Ice Dancing competition finished up with a rousing set of performances. I’m so happy to be able to say that the teams skated their bests. I might argue about the ultimate results here and there, but it’s minor and potentially very subjective. It would be …
Greg Jennings
When the Green Bay Packers traded away Javon Walker during the 2006 draft, critics said they would never be able to replace his production. I’m very excited to say they may have found his replacement.
Greg Jennings is a rookie receiver and does make rookie mistakes throughout the games. However, …

Ricky Ponting is present caption of Australian cricket team. He is an aggressive caption and useful right hands batsman. He has scored most number of centuries for Australia and his played some real important knocks, and won matches for Australia as a caption. His average is more than 40 …
Arsenal Football Club
Growing up as a South African soccer lover and follower, as is the local trend, most supporters have a tendency to adopt a local team (of course) as well as one overseas team, usually from the Barclays Premiership as this is the one league that has been the most …
Gordon Ramsay’s: Football Hell - Football Blooper DVD
With Gordon Ramsay becoming such a big name in the world of food and becoming just as famous for his use of the F word, it was perhaps no surprise when he was chosen to front a football bloopers DVD as he never hides his passion for the game.
If …
Chad Pennington
It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …
Rashad McCants
Minnesota Timberwolves starter Rashad McCants is one of the more explosive guards there is in the league. He has a very quick first step that loses his defenders quickly and if not for his injury he would have been a crazy athlete in the mold of a Kobe Bryant. …
Andrea Bargnani
Andrea Bargnani the former first overall pick in the NBA draft has had a solid year so far if his not injured. He has missed several games though due to various ailments and injuries and have been limited to some games to lower minutes. But in games that he …
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Swedish Soccer Player
Just as is the case with Ronaldinho, wathcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a bit of a sad case for me because I really feel as if he is one of those players who never really worked hard enough to realize his true potential as a football player. With Ronaldinho though, …
Kevin Garnett
There are few players who make the jump straight from high school to the NBA and have a career worth mentioning. Though there are a few that everyone knows to be super stars, the majority just fade into oblivion and are forgotten before their contracts expire. This isn’t the …
Andrea Bargnani
Okay, so I got it wrong that Manu Ginobili was from Italy, I’m a profiler. But I know for a fact that the seven foot center from the Toronto Raptors, Andrea Bargnani is from Italy. The Italiano was drafed by Toronto in the draft two years ago. Since joining …
Sacramento Kings
I really don’t know how this team came to it’s downfall. Four years removed from being serious title contenders in the West when they had magnificent starting line-up of Webber, Divac, Bibby, Stojakovic and Christie. Mike Bibby is still running the show with old holdovers in Brad Miller backing …
Will Blackmon
Every once in a while, you have an NFL star come along that has plenty of talent and potential but just can’t seem to stay healthy and, eventually, the team has no choice but to part with him.
Packers’ cornerback Will Blackmon seems to be just that type of …
Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones has always been a journeyman player. For thirteen years in this leage, Jones has been one of those borderline individuals who aren’t yet a super star, but are definitely not a wash-out. The six foot six guard out of Temple University has played for various teams including …
Gerald Wallace
Gerald Wallace owns a very complete game. With a six feet and eight inch frame, he has the height to play in the perimeter and also play inside with the bigs. Wallace who just signed a monstrous five year $57 million contract last summer is primed to become a …
Seattle Seahawks
Injuries can change the scope of things in the NFL almost overnight. The Seattle Seahawks are the perfect example of this.
At one point, the Seahawks looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They had weapons on both offense and defense and still had a future Hall of Fame coach in …
Black Widow Venom Hammer Bowling Ball
I initially was drawn to the Black Widow Venom Hammer bowling ball because of the wonderful colors and design on the front of the ball. Let’s face it. Part of bowling is having a ball that is exciting and powerful at the same time. The Black Widow Venom Hammer …
Mike Brown
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a lot to look forward to in their future. They have probably the best big-small man of all time in Lebron James. They have a young roster of player that are all willing to learn and take things one step at a time. And they …
The Challenge: Marquez vs. Casamayor
In the bout dubbed The Challenge, a bout between two counter-punchers in their mid thirties, one fought his age and the other lived to his name. It was Marquez’s first fight as a lightweight and he was a little shaky at the get-go. Being in the lightweight division for …
Al Thornton
The ninth overall pick in this year’s installment of the NBA draft is Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton. And his drafting couldn’t have come at a better time for the Clippers with the loss of Elton Brand until Mid February and the injuries to Tim Thomas and Paul …
Gregg Popovich
Who doesn’t know the San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovice? He has the second longest tenure in the NBA and has won multiple championships since he was named the head coach in 1996. Pop’s, as the players like to call him, is getting a little over eager in …
Wrestler - Ric Flair
In professional wrestling, the words great and greatest get thrown around a lot. Some proformers achieve greatness in their careers, but few ever get considered to be the greatest of all time. Ric Flair, who began his career in the 70’s, and only retired in 2008, is definitely one …
2010 NASCAR Arca Series Lucas Oil 200 race
The Arca Series is considered a lead-in to getting into the big leagues of NASCAR racing. Many drivers jump from Arca to Nationwide or trucks and then to the Sprint Car series. This year, there is a lot of focus on this very first Arca race, primarily …
Ray Allen
Ray Allen will be playing with better compliment of players this year than what his had throughout his career. In fact, It is so good that he might be the one complimenting this time around. With Kevin Garnett on the fold and with Paul Pierce already on board the …
Jeff Garcia
Former San Francisco 49er, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Jeff Garcia, has had a tough and long storied and bumpy road in his NFL career. PLaying with the outspoken Terrell Owens in San Fran and then almost starving to death from lack of talent in Cleveland, no one …
Stephen Graham
Stephen Graham is another player that found himself sitting on the sidelines for the Pacers most of the year. There were some spurts where he would be able to get out on the court, and when that happened he usually played a very good game, but that was on …
FOX swimming goggles
FOX swimming goggles Cute and safe are designed in different models. They are ready in one band, two band and many
colors. 100% anti fug, they help you enjoy your swimming and give you more tendencies toward swimming. You never want to be out of water with Fox goggles! They …
Patrick O’Bryant
Patrick O’bryant is the Golden State Warriors version of a pet project. He is a good seven foot Center who certainly has an upside in this league. He has good hands, speed and power to be a good contributor someday but as of now, coach Don Nelson and the …
Deion Branch
After the New England Patriots won a few Super Bowls, they thought it smart to get rid of the players who helped get them there and rest the weight of the world on Tom Brady’s shoulders. This was a pill hard to swallow for Deion Branch who was reportly …
Bjron Borg
Bjron borg a legendary tennis player from Sweden he has the only player who has won Wimbledon and French open for 5 times. Consedering that todays player are either good on grass or clay, it seems unbelivalbe that Borg was able to win on both the surfaces not once …
JaMarcus Russell
The consensus among most NFL observers is JaMarcus Russell will be the #1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. And, while I think he has the physical tools to be a pro quarterback, I have to question whether he’s mentally ready.
My biggest concern over the junior out of …
Josh Smith
Atlanta Hawks Forward Josh Smith who a year ago won the NBA slam dunk competition has translated his game from his days in high school that was filled with so much talent and expectations that it was hard for him when he entered the league to match those predictions. …
2010 NASCAR Nationwide The Scotts Turf Builder 300 race
From the always exciting Bristol Motor Speedway, the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide The Scotts Turf Builder 300 race took place on Saturday, March 20. The close racing quarters are what really keep the drivers alert and the fans watching every second.
The thrill of this race began before the event …
Sandy Sullivan
I’m not a huge fan of Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette. However, when his only election competition is a woman who’s only claim to fame is her alleged affairs with a few Green Bay Packers, he’s going to get my vote.
Sandy Sullivan has no chance of winning …
Darrel Armstrong
Darrel Armstrong is one of the very few players in the NBA that i have tremendous respect for. He is a class act off the court. He often contributes in charity events and fund raising benefits that would help the less fortunate people out there.
It was rumored that Armstrong …
Brady Quinn
The biggest thing Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn has going for him is the fact he was coached by Charlie Weis, the guy who turned Tom Brady, an unknown 6th round draft pick, into a star.
Physically, I think Brady is only second to JaMarcus Russell in this year’s draft. …
Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter was born 26 June 1974 and he plays shortstop for the New York Yankees. Although this man is an excellent ball player I have never liked him. He has played his entire career with the New York Yankees he started in 1995 when he was only …
Luke Jackson
The Miami Heat waived long time guard/forward in the NBA Penny Hardaway to open a roster spot in signing Luke Jackson. Jackson played in the NBDL and was highly regarded when he first came into the NBA. He was a former first round selection by the Cleveland Cavaliers and …
Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets for me the best duo in Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. They are both tough offensive players who are very hard to stop. Now with the addition of Steve Francis and the development of Bonzi Wells in Rick Adelman’s offense, they should be a dominant factor …
Green Bay Packers Mid-season Report Card
The Packers have finished their 8th game of the season and have reached the mid-way point with a respectable 5-3 record. However, is it safe to say this team is living up to its expectations or are the Packers a team that simply is not what people thought they …
Marques Colston
The New Orleans Saints are constantly scratching and clawing to keep their heads above water and stay on top of their game. With Drew Brees and Reggie Bush getting most of the face time, it’s lost on a lot of fans that they have a tremendous talent in wide …
Pete Sampras
Legendary Tennis superstar Pete Sampras who’s considered to be the greatest player of all-time retired on 2002 at age 33 and at the peak of his game after winning the US open. Sampras was a class act on and off the court and was/still is a great ambassador for …
2006 Detroit Lions
Over the past few years, the Detroit Lions have been a joke. Each year, they draft the next big star only to continue to be one of the worst teams in the league.
This year, I think they may surprise a few people.
The defense hasn’t improved much in terms of …
Loftus Versveld Stadium
Since I had previously been to this stadium for one of the games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup games, I thought it would be quite interesting to see how the stadium is run after the professional manner in which it was in the duration of the World Championships.
I …
Dante Hall
Hall’s performance in the 2002 Kansas City Chiefs offense gave encouraging signs of things to come as he showed he has the ability to be a true gamebreaker with his long-distance speed. Against the Chiefs AFC West rivals in Denver, the Broncos, Hall had a breakout game in the …
Chris Paul
Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets was designated as the point guard of the future for the NBA. He was selected as the fourth overall pick and he won the rookie of the year award that year. What i like about his game is the vision that his …
Cannondale ST600 road bike
I bought my Candondale ST600 road bike used but the condition was like new. The ST600 is a road touring bike, meaning that it is built to carry heavy panniers for distances over 100 miles per day. I have not done any multi-day trips but I have …
Wrestling: Egotistical Wrestlers (Gimmicks)
In the sport of professional wrestling, it is a case of ego versus ego wherever you may turn. A prime example of this is the new TNA Wrestling Faction, The Main Event Mafia, which is without a doubt; the biggest collection of ‘kayfabe’ ego’s that the sport has ever …
Rudy Gay
Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies, an intriguing talent indeed. I must admit i don’t know this guy that much. I’ve seen the Grizzlies play a couple of times this year and i’m impressed with what i’m seeing from these guy.
He has great strength, size and speed for his …
