When I bought this saddle, I knew very little about them, and horses in general. My trainer found a used Jaguar XJS and told me to buy it, so I did. And why not? It looked great, it was made from dark, high quality Paris leather. After becoming more …

First up, Sasha Cohen, who after four years away decided to make a big comeback, though she had done virtually nothing to …

In my opinion, Kwame Brown is probably one of the most disappointing first over-all pick of all time. Probably second worst to Michael Olowokandi. Brown has the size, Athleticism and strength to be a marginal player at worst and an all star at best.
The problem with him is that …

Allen Iverson, from way of the Georgetown Hoyas, has been given a lot of colorful names over his eleven year career. The Answer, The Truth, The Problem, The Pill, The Poison. And now with his trip out to the west coast in signing with the Denver Nuggets, he seems …

After Larry Brown left the Philadelphia 76ers, nobody thought they would have a good team again for a while. And then Allen Iverson left and everyone in Philadelphia pretty much went back to liking football. Maurice Cheeks arrived after Allen had left the team and never got a chance …

The fact the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to rely on Najeh Davenport as their featured back following the injury to Willie Parker should be a concern to Steelers fans.

The biggest thing Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn has going for him is the fact he was coached by Charlie Weis, the guy who turned Tom Brady, an unknown 6th round draft pick, into a star.
Physically, I think Brady is only second to JaMarcus Russell in this year’s draft. …

The Chicago Bulls had a great team last year. They swept the defending champion Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs and gave the Detroit Pistons, their bitter rivals, all they could handle in six games. Led by head coach Scott Skiles, the Bulls started off poorly …

When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.
And, after seeing him through 15 games of his first season, I still stand by that opinion.
There’s a good chance the Packers will finish 7-9 this …

Being a die-hard Packers fan, I obviously am not a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. But, I will try to be objective when looking at their past season, which resulted in a winning record but not a playoff appearance.
Offensively, I think the Bears have improved from last year, …

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 …

The Green Bay Packers may soon find themselves looking for a replacement for quarterbacks coach Tom Clements. That is, of course, if other teams realize just how great of a job he’s done and look to sign him as an offensive coordinator.
Clements had the task of taking a 38-year-old …

I have to give the New York Giants credit; first they upset the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and then they managed to keep the man who is most likely responsible for that win.
I had never even heard the name Steve Spagnuolo before the NFL post season …

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 Chargers were involved with some drama on draft day a few years back. Wanting to select Eli Manning with their overall top pick in the draft, they received word that Manning would not play for the CHargers if selected. So like any good team would do, they ignored …

Although many regard the English Barclays Premier League as the best in the world, I beg to differ and for me, that accolade goes to the Spanish Premier League, the Primera La Liga.
As a football purist, there is a certain way I believe the game should be played …

David Haye v Audley Harrison. It was a fight that was really dividing opinion. Haye had been inactive since winning the world title against Valuev and with nothing yet agreed with the Kiltchkos it was Audley that stole in to claim a deal.
My initial thought was why on earth …
