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 …

The Chicago Bulls are turning out to be an extremely talented team. With help of players like the six foot three guard from the Connecticut Huskies, Ben Gorgon, they’re sure to turn a lot of heads on the road to success in the future. The baby Bulls are an …

Cricket does not always seem to be the sport of choice for the masses, unless England are winning, so reading about it is not always especially entertaining either, but i find Jonathan Agnews column on the BBC Sport website very good.
I think what is very appealing about his column …

When I think of the Duke University Blue Devils I think of one name, J.J. Redick. And when I think of J.J. Redick, I think of four words, “Buckets and more buckets.” Okay, I think of three more too, “Nothing but net.” Redick is one of the most fantastically …

The Gait Icon was my first lacrosse stick and I have found it to be an excellent stick. Although it is meant for beginners, the Icon will hold out well at intermediate and expert levels of play. It is reasonably priced at around £40-50 and is …

I’m a mega fan of basketball, all sports for that matter. But there’s something about the National Basketball Association that lures me in and keeps me on the edge of my seat. And my favorite type of players are those quiet storm types. You know, they types that don’t …

Sasha Pavlovic of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a player that i consider as one of the most boastful there ever was. Asked what would be his greatest defense that he can contribute to the team. He simply answered, My greatest defense is my offense. While that is true to …

I used to watch wrestling in my teens, it was like 10 years back, at that time the most famous wrestler was Stone Cold Steve Austin. I checked out WWE a few days back and I saw him still in action, it seems he is still going strong. …

Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …

Being a sports fan is never easy, even if you follow a successful team, as I encountered when Manchester United faced Barcelona in the 2009 European Cup Final.
The year before, my club Manchester United had won the Premier League and European Cup double and they were 90 minutes from …

Ricky Davis of the Miami Heat has often been maligned for being a selfish player in the league. I remember once about five years ago. I was watching a cleveland cavaliers game and Ricky Davis was with cleveland that year. With about 14 seconds left in the game it …

If you’ve ever seen the Denver Broncos play football then you know that they have one of the best running attacks in the National Football League and have had it for over a decade now. Why? Because Mike Shanahan, the head coach, is a pure genius when it comes …

This utility man for the Triple-A affifliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has all it takes to be a MLB player next year. He has been amazing this year, swinging the bat, as well as fielding the balls that come of opponents bats. If de Caster continues to play this …

When Javon Walker was a Green Bay Packer, I always felt he was a great speed guy with good hands but wasn’t much more than a number 2 wide out. And after he forced his way off the Packers and joined the Denver Broncos; giving him a chance to …

The Green Bay Packers have a lot in common with the new wave of head coaches taking the league by storm. They’re young, inexperienced, yet everyone is willing to jump on their backs and let their fresh legs carry them to the promised land. This is true in Green …

Smush Parker of the Miami Heat who signed a contract with the team last summer after a successful stint with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat where hoping to get a combo guard with Parker much in the mold of Keyoon Dooling who previously played for the Heat as …

I am now 32. For the last 12 years I have been muntering up and down golf courses the length and breadth of the land and frankly things didn’t really get much better.
Oh don’t get me wrong, on occasions I managed to play quite well (got …

Matt Harpring of the Utah Jazz was originally drafted by the Orlando Magic as the thirteenth overall pick in the NBA draft in the year of 2000. After spending three years with the team they decided to let him walk away for nothing when his contract expired and Harpring …

When the topic of Spygate first came out in the media, I was interested. Like most people, I’ve grown bored with the New England Patriots and their winning ways so any scandal to bring them back down to Earth was a welcome one.
But, it’s been months now and, quite …

Cleveland Cavaliers Forward Drew Gooden who has recently just received a new US$23 million for three years deal with the Cavs has finally found a home with Cleveland. He has been on the trade rumors for the majority of his career after starting out with Memphis Grizzlies after he …

The Nationwide Series of NASCAR ran their Father’s Day weekend race in Milwaukee. The Northerntool.com 250 race featured mostly Nationwide regulars since the Sprint Cup race on Sunday is in California. Only points championship contenders Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch flew in for the race. With …

Cody Rhodes is the son of legendary wrestler and World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer, The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Cody is also the younger brother of Dustin Rhodes. I can see him as a future prospect and a potential future main eventer after recently watching his WWE RAW …

Not too long ago, I took a post-draft look at each of the NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers and discussed what I liked and disliked about each. Now that the teams have each played two games, I have a better feel for what they have to offer …

I’m not a big fan of the track in New Hampshire, mainly because it tends to look fairly empty whenever they race there. NASCAR keeps saying that they need to expand to reach all the markets and all the areas where they have fans. That’s true, but I think …

While I don’t like the Pittsburgh Steelers (it comes with being a Ravens fan) I did respect them as worthy adversaries. They had a formidable offense and a defense that rivaled even our great one. As such, I always knew that a game against them would be …

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson or more widely known as “the Answer” was nearly traded last month to the Boston Celtics. If ever there was a mold for a high scoring guard then he is the ultimate example of one. Held the league scoring titles multiple times, AI is …

If you come to Baltimore you have to try to at least visit the home of the orioles Camden Yards. When it was decided around 156years ago to move the Orioles from Memorial stadium to a downtown location there was a lot of hoopla that this concept …

If you live in the Vancouver, BC area, or are visiting, and are a hockey fan, I highly recommend getting tickets for the Vancouver Giants, the WHL (Western Hockey League) team in the city. First of all, you will be overjoyed at the entertainment because this hockey is good, …

When you mention the word Legend in professional Wrestling, when you mention the word Epic Battles, Epic Victories over a gigantic human being, when you mention the most famous and most anticipated match in wrestling history, you immediately think Andre The Giant Vs Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 3.
Andre The …

The starting Center for the Dallas Mavericks, Erick Dampier has been a disappointment ever since he came into the Mavericks when he signed that monster contract. It is really unfair in the NBA for the teams sometimes when a situation like this happens. A player like Erick Dampier who …

Dikembe Mutombo is perhaps one of the best shot blockers all time in the league. He came from congo and experienced poverty when he was growing up. With his seven foot two inches tall frame though, Mutombo used it to get a collegiate scholarship in the US and have …

Women’s Snowboard Cross at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was quite fun. The qualifying was boring, but the heats were much more exciting.
France’s Claire Chapotot stalled out at the beginning of her quarter final heat that included Norway’s Helene Olafsen and Faye Gulini of America. Gulini didn’t …

The Detroit Pistons is a well oiled running team that has been in the contention for the title the last five years. With a solid Starting five and the fact that they have nurtured their young players to someday replace the aging stars that they have, the bench has …

I remember Aaron Williams now with the Los Angeles Clippers the most when he was still playing for the New Jersey Nets where i believe was the high point of his career in the NBA as well. Back then he was an active contributor to a team that had …

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 …

Last month, I was looking for an overnight bag that I could use for a weekend trip out of town. I wanted something that was pretty, yet practical and lightweight. I saw the Adidas Phantom which was colored black and purple and I immediately fell in love …

Shareef Abdur Rahim of the Sacramento Kings was one of my all time favorites before. He was a very talented very versatile big man coming out of college for the Vancouver Grizzlies. He was selected as the third overall pick in a draft that was one for the ages. …

I do play tennis once in a while. I am not really an expert but I think I love this game which to me is quite challenging. It tests my speed in movement and responding. Although playing tennis has been quite occasional to me, every time my …

Since soccer is a dangerous sport, you need all kinds of protective gears. The cleats that you should wear are designed with strength and protection to your toes and feet. The jersey uniform is dri-fit to maintain proper ventilation while actively engaging in the sport. There are also protective …

A few years ago, the Denver Broncos were the team that set the standard in the NFL. Before the start of the new millennium, the team won two Super Bowls and was an annual playoff contender for a few years after that; even after John Elway retired.
Unfortunately, they just …

After the death of their starting safety Sean Taylor, I would have written the Washington Redskins season off as a doomed year. This is especially true after they lost their starting quarterback Jason Campbell to an injury.
However, back up quarterback Todd Collins has really surprised me this season. What’s …

Rather as I had feared, the 2010 World Cup Final proved to be a pretty disappointing affair, which will probably end up being remembered more for the enormous number of niggling fouls and yellow cards (fourteen, including two - and therefore a red - to one player) than for …

While I like his leadership, I do think teams that are serious about signing former Miami Dolphins Linebacker Zach Thomas as a free agent are going to have to look at him very closely.
The former 5th round pick has been two 7 Pro Bowls. That’s great. But, he’s also …

Golden State Warriors point guard Baron Davis when healthy is absolutely one of the league’s best point guard. The only problem with him is his health concerns which has been his hindrance to superstardom since he entered the league. Bad back and an equally fragile knee have him in …

Now that he’s been fired by the Detroit Lions, former head coach and Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz should be a hot commodity for teams looking to boost their offenses.
Even though Martz had some success as a head coach, I do believe his strength is as an offensive coordinator. …

I really think I would have rated the user-friendliness of this running performance analysis system much higher if connection to the internet was not such a big part of its operation and I had to connect as part of the setup process to download the software to be installed, …

I have always loved attending matches at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria, especially football matches.
Situated in Pretoria, affectionately known as the “City of Champions”, this stadium holds so much history for me that the up and coming FIFA World Cupâ„¢ will be nothing but the “cherry on top”.
In …

My very earliest childhood memories of international football have a very prominent figure in the form of Paolo Maldini in their frontlines as Italian football was the order of the day when it came to our dose of international football in these parts of the world.
Italian football is what …

There’s an old saying “No place to go but up.” That description pretty much describes the Detroit Lions, who enter their first training camp after going 0-16 last year.
The Lions have made some significant changes over the past couple of months ranging from a new coaching staff to efforts …
