North Korea football team
Of all the teams which are competing at the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the one which I am most intrigued by is North Korea - or “Korea DPR” as their management team insists everybody should refer to them. Of course, at least part of their attraction is in the …
Marcus Williams
Sadly for Marcus Williams he hasn’t played a game so far this year. Plagued with injuries since the opening game of the season. Williams has got nothing to do but wait for his injuries to heal and get his chance to play again for the New Jersey Nets. With …
Peja Stojakovic
Out of all the European players currently lending their services and talents to the National Basketball Association, Peja Stojakovic was probably the first and still one of the most famous. Of corse he wasn’t the first European player, but he was definitely one of the first legitimate super stars …
Sun Mountain V1 Speed Cart
This is Sun Mountain’s new 3 wheel golf push cart. It is aimed for those who want a little more stability than what a 2 wheel golf cart can offer.
It is made with very solid metal rods. I think this might be one of the sturdiest carts on the …
UEFA Finals
It was a disaster for arsenal as they lose to barcelona. Arsenal had the posession in the beginning till the half time and they also had a one goal lead against barcelona. It was a very good header from campbell which was assisted by henry. henry was the player …
Cleveland Browns
The Detroit Lions went 0-16 last season and were considered the poster child for terrible franchises. I think that isn’t correct at all. I think the poster child should be the Cleveland Browns.
Years ago, Cleveland lost the original Browns (now the Baltimore Ravens) and got them back as part …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Speed Skating - 500m
I really enjoy the short speed skating events. They are fast and exciting. It’s pretty easy to follow, and there’s the element of suspense the closer it gets to the final racers.
Women’s Speed Skating - 500m in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics involved two runs. The …
Randy Moss
The New England Patriots finished this regular season winning all sixteen of their games. This has a great deal to do with the entire organization as a whole, but more specifically, their off season acquisition in wide receiver Randy Moss. For his years with the Minnesote Vikings, Randy Moss …
England v France - Friendly November 2010
It was due to be Englands first major test since their awful World Cup campaign in South Africa. They had played a couple of qualifying games that had not been especially impressive, but now it was France at Wembley. No one really appeared too concerned in the build up. …
Jason Hart
Jason Hart who is the back-up point guard to Deron Williams for the Utah Jazz is one solid point guard. He has had great play-off success as a back up point guard in the league as he is never a starter material anyway. He has played in San Antonio …
Chad Pennington
It is unsure whether New York Jets quarterback, Chad Pennington, will return to action next year. His contract expires and you wonder if another team may want a veteran quarterback to bring their franchise back to winning ways. A lot of criticism about Chad’s not so strong arm have …
Cleveland Browns Preseason
I’m old enough to remember the controversy created when the Browns left Cleveland and became the Baltimore Ravens and the decision by the NFL to bring an expansion team to that city as a way to compromise.
Today, I wonder why they even bothered.
The Browns haven’t been in the playoffs …
George Karl
Coach George Karl of the Denver Nuggets is one of the most discipline oriented coaches in the NBA. He has great defensive philosophy that he incorporates to each and every team that he has coached for. With the Nuggets though Karl has a team filled with superstars and really …
Rasheed Wallace
One of the most volatile NBA players of all time Rasheed Wallace came into the Detroit Pistons in mid-season and made them the championship team that they are. The Pistons were already a good team when they made that trade for Rasheed virtually for nothing. Instantly the Pistons where …
Royal Ivey
The National Basketball Association has some characters. Both on their teams and in their front offices. Ranging from outspoken attitudes to confusing names, the NBA is in no short supply of humor. This was evident to me when I heard the Milwaukee Bucks select Royal Ivey from the Texas …
Head Youtek Radical Lite Racquet
The Youtek series is a new brand of racquets that allows the racquets to conform to “you” and your style of playing (hence the name “you” “tek”). After buying this racquet and playing with it on numerous occasions over a year, I am delighted with the overall performance of …
Denver Broncos Preseason
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 …
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks is another team in that Southwest Division that will be a key player in the play-offs this year. Boasting a line-up that includes reigning NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki. They also have the very versatile Josh Howard, Lightning quick guard in Devin Harris, two guard Jason Terry …
Car Quest Auto Parts 300
I was lucky enough to have a really great seat for the Car Quest Auto Parts 300 Nationwide NASCAR race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on May 24, 2008 in Concord, North Carolina. My best friend and I picked up two tickets to the race just a few weeks before …
Pop Up Pugg Soccer Nets
Portable pop up soccer nets are a must have for all soccer coaches. This is a great tool for players to own as well since they are easily transportable when a group of friends just want to play small sided pick up games in the park.
Usually sold in …
Calzaghe: The Story - Boxing DVD
As a boxing fan I was always quite a follower of Joe Calzaghe, so once he retired I was partly delighted because he would retire unbeaten, but also disappointed that I had never had the opportunity to see him fight live.
Once Calzaghe The Story was released on DVD I …
Luther Head
Luther Head who was drafted by the Houston Rockets started the season in a slump early. I remember drafting him on some of my deeper fantasy league teams and was really pissed at myself for doing so when he produced something like three points in his first five games. …
Louis Williams
The best surprise of the season for the Philadelphia 76ers so far. Louis Williams has made himself into possibly a starter for the next season. Williams was a player who came out of high school straight into the NBA two seasons ago. He received little playing time that year …
Michael Jordan
Although retired now, i just can’t dare not to review the perhaps the greatest player to grace the courts of basketball. Michael Jordan was and will always be on a league in his own. Unparalleled player only levelled with by an elite few in the history of the game. …
Larry Hughes
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes whome they signed last year from the Washington Wizards with the hopes of complimenting Lebron James game suffered through and injury plagued season that hindered the success of both his team and himself. His injury on the right index finger which required a couple …
Vincent Jackson
The San Diego Charger came to life late this season and actually won a playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. A bit part of this victory was the much hyped and talked about wide receiver, Vincent Jackson. Vincent is a product of his environment. He’s rough and tough and …
Portland Trailblazers in review
The Portland Trailblazer’s started the offseason with a BIG BANG during the ‘06 NBA draft. Made 6 trades during the night that netted them the 2nd overall pick Lamarcus Aldridge from the Chicago Bulls. They also acquired the rights for the 6th overall pick Brandon Roy and Raef Lafrentz …
Jermaine O’neal
Jermaine O’neal of the Indiana Pacers started his career as a bench warmer for the Portland TrailBlazers. Drafted straight out of high School, O’neal saw very limited playing time with the Blazers the first four years of his career. After he was dealt to the Pacers though, he was …
Acie Law IV
The point guard of the future for the Atlanta Hawks. After a couple of years drafting dismally in the NBA drafts, the Hawks finally made the right decisions in this years draft. With the third overall pick they chose Al Horford who has been contributing steadily for them and …
Newcastle Billiard Table
If you have someone in your family who is a Billiard fan, buy them a Newcastle 72� Billiard Table this Christmas. This is an absolutely fabulous pool table, and we bought it at our local Zellers department store for just $219.97CDN.
What attracted me to the Newcastle Billiard Table is …
Ben Wallace
Over a decade ago, Virgina Union had a nasty player in their mens basketball program that they knew was a phenominal player. Unfortunately for teams of the NBA, they found out about him too late. Ben Wallace is probably the best all around low post defender in the last …
Troy Smith
If he were a couple of inches taller, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith would be a definite first round draft pick. But, because of his height, he’ll likely be drafted in a later round. That’ll be a mistake for several NFL teams.
Smith has amazing accuracy when it comes to …
ToPeak Alien II Multi-Tool
Two years ago, on a whim, I purchased the Topeak Alien II Multi-Tool because it was on a sale (every sale looks good once you’ve been bitten by the bike stuff bug) and it arrived a few days later.
After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …
Dwayne Wade - Miami Heat
Reigning NBA finals MVP and a member of the world Champions Miami Heat, Dwayne Wade in three years has earned quick superstardom status. Unstoppable in offense and a slowly developing perimeter game makes him one of the permiere players in the league. His crossover moves coupled with lightning speed …
Paul Pierce
The Lone All-star for the Boston Celtics the last couple of years. Paul Pierce is known as a ?slasher? in the game of Basketball. He often penetrates to the lane with utmost disrespect to his defenders and evades big men in the paint with combinations of Strength, speed, girth …
Wembley Stadium
I am in a privileged position as I am able to compare the old stadium with the newly built ground which is what all modern stadium should be built like.
Having watched my first England game in 1996 just before the Euro 96 Championships in a friendly against Hungary …
The Krown Pro Skateboard
The Krown Pro Skateboard is a full size skateboard sold online. I bought it recently because I just started skateboarding and didn’t want to pay full price for an elite board. I expected it to be very functional and well built. Here are my findings:
The woodmake is really solid …
20-20 cricket
20-20 cricket - It is a short version of 50 over cricket. Every team gets to play 20 over, and hence making it quicker version of cricket. The first 20-20 world cup took place in south Africa, and India surprised teams like south Africa, Australia and Pakistan and won …
Lovie Smith
One half of the first ever two African American coaches to coach in the Super Bowl, Lovie Smith has had a very successful tenure with the Chicago Bears. Though he lost to his long time friend, Tony Dungy, Lovie Smith would never consider that particular game a defeat. It …
Kansas City Chiefs
The teams that fired their head coaches this year weren’t much of a shock. What was more of a shock is the fact the Kansas Chiefs didn�t make any changes, at very least at General manager.
Let�s face it, this team is terrible; even worse than their record indicates. They …
Peyton Manning
With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts select, Peyton Manning out of the University of Tennessee. Man, I can still remember those words. I graduated high school in 98 and played quarterback, and the one guy I looked up to and wanted to be just …
Nike Victory Red Golf Umbrella
I have never purchased a golf umbrella in my life before. Honestly, I did not know that they were any different than regular umbrellas.
That being said, the new Nike Victory Red Golf Umbrella is a very well crafted product. I bought the 62 inch version and this thing is …
Jason Williams
Jason Williams who earlier in his career was called the “white Chocolate” for his great vision and his passing with the Sacramento Kings has now matured a bit and has taken into account the importance of team play in a game that is played with five players on the …
Aaron Rodgers
I finally got a chance to see Packers back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers play yesterday after starter Brett Favre got hurt against the Patriots.
From what I saw, in roughly one half of play, I’m not sold on him as the team’s future starter.
Granted, taking over during a 21-0 blowout …
Greg Camarello
Greg is an okay receiver that can catch passes if you want him to. He is out of Stanford where he wasn’t their best wide receiver, but he did do okay. Last year he didn’t even catch one pass but this year he might be able to catch one …
Julian Wright
NBA rookie Julian Wright of the New Orleans Hornets has a very good upside in his game. He has a body much like Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets and in the preseason i was in their practice facility looking at some of their scrimmages and i could say …
Doc Rivers
Doc Rivers is the former all star basketball player turned coach for the NBA’s Boston Celtics. This year they’re leading the league in wins. As I type this they have won 25 games and lost only 3. That’s impressive and reminds me of the great Chicago Bulls teams with …
Bob Sanders
One of the biggest reasons for the Packers run that nearly got them into the Super Bowl was the vast improvement of their defense. The guy who deserves the credit for that is defensive coordinator Bob Sanders.
Sanders put together a defense that absolutely smothered opposing offenses early on in …
