Sport Reviews
Andre Johnson
The Houston Texans haven’t had much success since their inception a few years ago. With a bust at the quarterback position with David Carr, and an upsetting loss to the Cowboys in their second installmen of the Governers Bowl, the Texans seem to be moving south of the border …
NASCAR - yellow flag laps
I follow NASCAR pretty closely these days and have been the last few years. I watched it as a child, too, but left the sport behind into becoming hooked again circa 2005. The one thing that has bugged me, probably more than anything else, since that time …
2008 Pittsburgh Steelers
I’ll confess, the Post Season was the first time I’ve watched the Pittsburgh Steelers play all season long. So, when I write about them and try to review the team as they stand and where they are heading, I’m going to have to base it on limited viewing time. …
NASCAR - Daytona 500
The 2009 racing season is underway with the Daytona 500. I have a few definite reactions to the big race.
–I’m proud of the 24 team. Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, and he did a great job all day. He also made a daring call, coming …
David West
David West of the New Orleans Hornets started his career as a nobody. He came into the league with little to no credentials at all and he was given little playing time at first. But, with the continued growth of West both on and off the court. The Hornets …
Sean Payton
Let’s try to forget about recent disappoints of this past year. I’d like to remember the New Orleans Saints coach, Sean Payton for his commanding performance the year before. He brought a team back to glory and took them to the NFC championship. They were the pride of a …
Raja Bell
If you caught the western conference playoffs for the National Basketball Association last year, or the year before, then you’ve probably seen the Phoenix Suns come oh so close to visiting the finals. The Suns are a very talented basketball team. And a big part of that comes from …
2007 Carolina Panthers
Here’s how I summarize the Carolina Panthers; they lost their starting quarterback for the season and their back up quarterbacks, including Vinnie Testaverde, who was signed a couple of weeks into the regular season, can’t seem to stay healthy. However, they are 4-4 and are still in the playoff …
Jamaal Tinsley
Jamaal Tinsley should be considered as one of the most unfortunate players in the league. His history of injuries are really disappointing the pacers and affecting their run at the play-offs. When healthy he easily belongs to the upper echelon of point guards in the league. His offense relies …
Alex Smith
Over these past few years, San Francisco 49er quarterback, Alex Smith hasn’t seemed to work out. Coming out of college this kid had some high hopes attached and weighing down on his shoulders, and he hasn’t seemed to handle it well if at all. His first year in the …
Lush Longboards Mako Longboard
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 …
Eldora Speedway
I’ve been lucky enough to attend races at the Eldora Speedway a number of times over the years. Growing up in a family that loved the local tracks, we often visited a few of the local tracks. However a recent trip to the Speedway had me wishing that there …
Fabricio Oberto
Fabricio Oberto of the San Antonio Spurs is a player that compliments All-Star Forward Tim Duncan. He does all the hard, dirty work in the middle and often defends bigger Centers so that Duncan can conserve his energy for the clutch where the team sorely needs his contributions.
What i …
Basketball Player: Preston Knowles
Preston Knowles is my favorite player on the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He is a sophmore guard our of Winchester, Kentucky. He is listed at 6-1 and 170 pounds, but judging from his present frame, he has put on at least 10 pounds of muscle …
Quentin Richardson
New York Knicks Guard Quentin Richardson who came over from the Phoenix Suns last year after a succesfull season their. Was non-existent last year for the Knicks. He was somewhat lost in the rotation with the superb line-up of other guards the Knicks had (Marbury, Francis, Robinson, Rose) and …
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 …
Earl Watson
One of the best defensive point guards in the league today is Seattle Supersonics point Earl Watson. After a tumultuous stay with the Denver Nuggets, he was finally traded to the Supersonics for Reggie Evans and as produced for the team.
Although his offensive skills are in some manner a …
Carmelo Anthony
The same year the LeBron James was coming out of high school to take the NBA by storm, he had some pretty stiff competition. Syracuse super star, Carmelo Anthony, was also poised to take the NBA head on. Though the two are completely different players, they’re basically the same …
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat who won the NBA championship against the Dallas Mavericks two years ago has gone from a legitimate contender to being a team on danger of not even making the play-offs. Although injuries and aging stars are at fault, i still can’t see them duplicating that championship …
Juwan Howard
Juwan Howard of the Dallas Mavericks came back to them after he was released by the Minnesota Timberwolves after they traded Kevin Garnett. I consider Howard as one of the model citizens in the NBA. He is some sort of like a spokesperson in the league and is one …
The Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins today named Joey Harrington their starter over former starter Dante Culpepper. I agree with this decision.
Harrington really hasn’t done much throughout his career to earn a starting spot. However, Culpepper has looked downright awful during the first part of the season.
First, he doesn’t seem to have …
Linksman Golf X6 3 Wheel Golf Cart
This is a very unique golf push cart. It is Linksman Golf’s X6 golf cart which is probably their most popular model.
The reason I say this is unique is the X6 is the easiest to collapse golf cart on the market. No doubt about this. The cart it self …
2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series 200 race
Atlanta Motor Speedway was the host to the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series 200. Owning his own team this year, it was Kyle Busch on the pole. Of note was the debut of Steven Wallace. While he drives regularly in the Nationwide Series, he’s never …
Matt Harpring
If you were to look around the National Basketball Association today at all the different teams and players, you would notice a trend. A lot of the best teams have a shorter player playing down in the paint. The Utah Jazz are up on this trend and have a …
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 …
Mike Wilks
Mike Wilks is a very well traveled point guard in the NBA and his current stop is with the Washington Wizards. I vividly remember him having stops at Toronto, Boston and the Sixers to name a few.
Don’t get me wrong or anything, Mike Wilks is a talented player to …
Eli Manning
Eli Manning is the soft-spoken quarterback of the Super Bowl bound New York Giants. The only time you ever heard him speak up in his entire career is on draft day a few years back when he refused to go and play for the San Diego Chargers. He has …
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 …
George Karl
The Denver Nugget’s head coach, George Karl, is no stranger to life in the NBA. He may seem familiar to some of you Seattle Sonic fans out there and will certainly be remebembered as a no nonsense, take no prisoners type of coach. Just to look at him gets …
Darius Miles
Darius Miles of the Portland Trail Blazers started his career with the Los Angeles Clippers. I remember him and Quentin Richardson playing together in that Clipper team at that time and every time they made a shot or a spectacular play they pump their headbands together. When he first …
Kosta Perovic
The NBA used to be an all white league basically. There was a lot of fuss, just as recently as twenty-five years ago about the number of African American’s who were playing in the prestigious league. All that changed when the league got a grip and decided that if …
Arlington Stadium
We went to see the Orioles play against the Rangers two summers ago and we were gone to Arlington Stadium in Texas. My brother had been asking me to go with them because they live in Shreveport La and attend at least one series of Oriole Baseball at …
Bob backlund
Bob Backlund was the WWWF champion from 1978 - 1983. He had becomes a controversial figure because he was a rather bland champion who decidedly lacked charisma, but he maintained a solid drawing card ability that did not diminish until the very last few months of his title reign. …
Rodney Carney
Memphis is home to more than the blues and country music. They serve more there than some good southern barbeque. Memphis is home to the Tigers, a NCAA mens basketball division 1 team. And on that team that is rarely known to most people, they do have some talent. …
Andris Biedrins
Golden State’s starting Center Andris Biedrins has developed into a legitimate Scoring threat this season thus far. He has already scored 25 and 23 point games early on and has grabbed a career high with 18 rebounds the other night. He scores on a variety of ways, he can …
Maurice Evans
A player that came with that deal for the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers is swingman Maurice Evans who came with Brian Cook for Trevor Ariza. Evans was supposedly a player thrown in that deal to make it work financially for both teams but so far he …
NASCAR 2009 Shelby 427 Sprint Cup Race
The NASCAR 2009 Shelby 427 Sprint Cup Race was a caution-filled race that still managed to have some nice surprises. Things I liked or disliked included:
–Italian Max Papis was so happy to be starting his first oval-track race. He’s long been used as a ‘ringer’ for the …
Matt Harpring
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 …
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 …
Bic 7ft3 Mini Mal Surfboard
We bought the Bic 7ft3 mini mal surfboard to teach my friend to surf last year.
As there are very few places near us that hire out boards apart from one surf shop that rents out soft top boards from a van at the beach on weekends buying a cheap …
Memphis Grizzlies
They will be a lottery team and will be at the bottom of the best division in the league. Looking at their line-up, I’m at a loss as to how they perform so bad with the team that they have. Starting Forward is Pau Gasol who a few years …
Yurendell de Caster
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 …
Formula1 (F1) 2005
Hi folks, thuis might sound corny but the season of formula1 was areal bore again.As a true fan of the sport it was disappointing to see that the title race was all but over midway through the season.Now people will argue that is a sham,no guys just come to …
J.J Redick
Talk about controversial players in the Country, J.J Redick is one of those players when he came into the league. Drafted by the Orlando Magic as the thirteenth overall pick two years ago, Redick has been getting better minutes for the team now than in his rookie year. In …
Koren Robinson
After he was suspended for one year for a drinking problem, a lot of people were quick to write off Koren Robinson. And, those same people criticized Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson for signing him.
However, if his performance in his first game back from suspension is any …
Diablo All Star Paintballs
I’m really not sure how or when these paintballs came out, but I do know that they’re about the best paintballs I’ve ever used. It confuses me that now Diablo is producing All Star paintballs, which have been an RPS trademark for years. They are much cheaper than RPS …
Jerry Sloan
Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan has been the longest tenured coach in pro basketball today. He has been the coach of the Utah Jazz for over 21 years now and has just recently signed a contract extension that would guarantee him reaching his twenty fifth of the team …
Mongoose Pro Mountain Bike
I love riding on our Mongoose Pro mountain bike. Well, it’s actually my husband’s bike so I just borrow it when I want to use it. I think he bought it for about $500. But he bought it in the Philippines so I guess it will be cheaper in …
Tony Parker
San Antonio Spurs french point guard Tony Parker is a rarity among point guards. He has difficulty in hitting his outside shots but constantly belongs to the top 5 in the league in FG percentage. He often creates his shots with ball fakes, head shakes, crossover moves, and with …
Hook and Hackle Fly Fishing Tackle (www.hookhack.com)
I recently discovered an online company that sells anything and everything you would ever need for fly fishing, and even though this company is based in the US, they ship anywhere in the world. The selection is incredible, the website is easy to use and to find anything by …
