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 …

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 …

With the NFL draft just a week away (and dragging on in the process), I figured it was time to once again take a look at the Green Bay Packers and get a feel of where the team is heading into their one opportunity to land cheap talent before …

I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …

I started longboarding because it’s a great crossover sport for surfers or snowboarders looking for something to do when they can’t get to the snow or surf.
This board I bought is a Lush Mako made by the British company Lush Longboards it is a 44″ pintail shape board made …

It’s really hard to come up with the words to describe New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. On one hand, he’s a heck of a coach. He’s 3-1 in the Super Bowl, has turned the Patriots into an annual contender for the NFL title and, quite simply put, could …

Former Dallas Mavericks star small forward/shooting guard, Michael Finley, looks like a star basketball player. You see him step out onto the floor and do his little leg stretches, it reminds you of that guy in gym class who would shoot free throws while everyone else played dodge ball. …

General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers Mitch Kupchak has been much maligned for the moves or the lack thereof that he has made as the team’s decision maker. The botched trade between the Lakers and the New Jersey Nets that would have netted them All star point guard …

Due to multiple injuries to the Clippers line-up this year, they were forced to sign players from other leagues and from the developmental league as well. Because of this, Richie Frahm was given a chance by the Clippers when they signed him to a non guaranteed contract last month. …

I consider Justin Henin-hardeine as the Roger Federer of womens tennis. Although not as dominant as Federer is in the Mens division, Henin is the standard at which woman tennis players are to beat. Her game has evolved after returning from that injury she suffered two years ago. Her …

The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …

Whenever someone asks me about San Diego Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner, my response to them is ‘one heck of a coordinator, lousy coach.’
Turner is an innovative offensive coach who pretty much designed the offense the San Diego Chargers have had success with over the past few years. But, …

Memphis Grizzlies All Star and the main pivot for the Spanish National team Pau Gasol is one of the most promising dominant figures in the game. He mainly plays inside and on offense uses variety of moves from spins, head fakes and his ability to evade defenders with …

Scott Hall may be better known to some professional wrestling fans as “The Bad Guy” Razor Ramon. To others he may be better known as “The Diamond Studd” but to most he is likely better known by his real and his birth name, Scott Hall.
Scott Hall became infamous in …

The outcome of this game will, obviously, depend on which side you were rooting for. I, as a Ravens fan, did not like this game.
Putting aside my own fandom, one thing everyone noticed was the insane amount of penalties. They actually managed to get over …

The 2009 Taylormade Burner Plus Iron set is taylormade’s upgrade to their previous burner iron set.
Overall, I was not a big fan of these clubs. I tried them out in steel, regular flex. I felt that they were not forgiving at all. They have a good amount of mass …

Another player that i didn’t expect to become a star in the NBA is Kevin Martin of the Sacramento Kings. He doesn’t have the persona, the size and the weight to be an unstoppable player in the league. But a superstar is exactly what he has become. He has …

Nick Young of the Washington Wizards is an interesting project to have in the NBA. He is in his first year in the league, his athletic and he has the talent and the pedigree to be a star in the NBA.
Listed at six feet and seven inches tall, …

Bruce Bowen of the San Antonio Spurs is considered by many among his NBA peers as a dirty defender. He is a pesky defensive specialists who plays with a lot of passion but sometimes i think maybe a bit too much. He defends a bit physically and at times …

There was a time when I thought Randy Moss was the guy most receivers would have to compare themselves to. He seemed absolutely unstoppable and, at one point, looked like a receiver that could make any quarterback look good.
Over time, I’ve come to learn that isn’t the truth. Yes, …

Before this summer, i have always perceived Andre Kirilinko of the Utah Jazz as a consummate team member. I have never seen him as a selfish type of a person but, after the trade demands and his childish threats of rather playing in Russia than to go back to …

I consider Theo Ratliff in his prime as one of the best shot blockers out there in the league second only though to Dikembe Mutombo in the modern era. Although he has aged now and is even having trouble staying in the floor due to various injuries, Ratliff can …

The St. Louis Rams are trying to determine if Lamar Gordon may be the eventual successor of their present running back Marshall Faulk. Although he was harrassed with injuries throughout 2003, the early returns have been very promising for Rams fans. The ‘02 third-rounder has shown explosiveness into the …

As an owner of a 2003 Polaris Super Sport I can safely say that this snowmobile is probually one of the best sleds for a person just getting into the sport of snowmobiling. Its a perfect mix of handling and acceleration. Its also get a bit of speed as …

The Lake Elsinore Storm is a minor baseball team that is one of the best games to attend. I took my kids the other day and we really had a good time there. They always have something for the kids to do. Lots of entertainment and different incentives. The …

Smith is an explosive receiver who will burn defensive backs that give him too much room to operate. He reached the end zone 22 times in the years from 97-99, and he also gained 1,000 yards for the third straight time in 1999. Smith also made it three consecutive …

The Green Bay Packers are currently at 7-1 and much of the reason for that is the improvement shown by second year pro Greg Jennings.
Last season, mostly because he was playing hurt, I wasn’t sure just how fast Jennings was. He didn’t seem like much more than a possession …

The most amazing aspect of this race was the unexpected, and no, I don’t mean in the racing. Part of the asphalt track deteriorated so much that they stopped the race to repair it. The red flag came out with 78 laps to go, prompting a delay …

For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …

Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns to me is the Ultimate point guard in the NBA. He is absolutely fearless and takes great risks. He has the eye like that of an eagle that can thread passes to open teammates. He uses several types of passing the ball to …

In my opinion, Korver owns one of the quickest shots in the league history. He gets off his attempts pretty quickly therefore making it really difficult for a defender to block or at least challenge the shot.
He is also one of the best three point shooters in the …

Earlier in this year, a lot of people thought the Dallas Cowboys were the favorite to go to the Super Bowl. I thought they would end up missing the playoffs.

The Dallas Cowboys have arguably the most talented team in professional football. But, for every talented …

The Boston Celtics would have loved to have Delonte West as their starting point guard now but the Seattle Supersonics was adamant that he be a part of any deal involving Ray Allen who has been a fixture with the team for years and years now. Thus, the Celtics …

2004 saw an FA Cup Final that seemed to make most people other than Manchester United and Millwall fans turn of. It wasn’t that the game promised to be boring, it was more the fact that Manchester United went into this game as huge favourites because they were seen …

Saturday night racing is always an interesting thing. When you throw in 43 cars on the short track in Richmond, Virginia the race becomes something completely different and a whole lot more interesting. This year’s spring race at Richmond was Denny Hamlin’s race to win, and by extension his …

Currently owning the Houston Rockets starting point guard position over Rafer Alston, James is more of an offensive threat than Alston is. He is a very reliable three point shooter who can also do a one dribble and get inside the three point line and shoot that long two …

I haven’t had many opportunities to watch Jay Cutler play quarterback before. But, after finally getting to see him play, I can tell you the comparisons to John Elway and Brett Favre are a bit premature.
Let’s face the facts; the guy has started 12 games. He has a 5-7 …

With the New York Jets trying to figure out exactly what went wrong this past season, you can bet one of the future casualties will be former starting quarterback Chad Pennington.
In some ways, I feel Pennington is being turned into the scape goat for what was a horrible season …

Loul Deng who’s a native from Congo in my opinion is one of the best mid range shooters we have in the NBA today. He can shoot with great consistency from ten to twenty feet at any angles in the court. His also their best slasher and probably the …
