But when I was re-introduced once again when I was …

Whenever someone asks me about San Diego Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner, my response to them is ‘one heck of a coordinator, lousy coach.’

Reggie Bush is runningback of the New Orleans Saints, who was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. I was really impressed in his rookie year where he managed to meet the expectations of him coming out of USC, but I really though he had …

Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in the history of the National Football League in my humble opinion. But to be that good, you always need someone whom you can throw the ball to at all times. Joe Montana had it, Troy Aikman had it, Steve Young had it, …

An up and coming youngster from Britain and a fading champion from Switzerland (in the eyes of most critics anyway) stood face to face at one of the grandest of stages in tennis with one itching to win his first ever career grand slam and the other, determined to …

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 …

In some ways, I feel Pennington is being turned into the scape goat for what was a horrible season …

Eddie House of the Boston Celtics is one of the most gifted quick shooters in the league today. I remember him when he was still playing for the Arizona Wildcats in his collegiate career and he scored like over 50 points in one game. I though he was gonna …

As much as I like Tony Dungy, I do think he’s getting to the point where it is time for him to retire.

Look around the NBA today and there’s probably one stand out player on every team. These players range in size and personal strengths but they all most likely share one thing is common…popularity. Now, popular doesn’t necessarily mean good and of course good doesn’t necessarily mean the player will …

I have to admit, the Baltimore Ravens hiring of Eagles defensive back coach John Harbaugh was definitely an unexpected move. I’m not sure if it was a great move though.
The problem with the Harbaugh hiring is the fact I really don’t’ know all that much about him and I’m …

Shaun Livingston of the Los Angeles Clippers suffered the scariest injury that i have ever seen in the NBA. It was really sad what happened to him on a break away lay-up that really was his own doing. There was literally nobody around him as he stole the ball …

As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …

Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets is one of those NBA pure point guards that i really admire. He has these pass first mentality and an eye for the open lanes. What i like about his game is the fact that he’s never scared to turn the ball …

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 …

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 …

At one point, I thought Packers running back Vernand Morency could turn into a starter and a steal for the team. Now, I think he’ll be lucky if he’s still around next season.
Morency possesses decent speed and showed some flashes of greatness as a back up to Ahman Green …

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 …

I always thought the six foot seven inch New York Knick forward out of Drexel College, Malik Rose, was kinned to Jalen Rose, formerly of the Indiana Pacers and the fab-five for the Micigan Wolverines. I’m still not sure if I was right or not, but it wasn’t just …

The NASCAR races at Infineon are typically fairly boring at least in my opinion. I have a hard time staying focused on the races that take place at the road courses because you don’t see a lot of racing going on. The drivers tend to play it safe and …
