2007 Green Bay Packers
It took me some time to write a view about this year�s version of the Green Bay Packers. This is mainly because, up until last week, I didn�t know what to think of them.
The Packers currently stand at 8-1 but, for some time, I had a hard time telling …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Men’s 30k Pursuit
The Men’s 30k Pursuit at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics proved to be quite the surprise. This event starts out with four laps of classic and then four laps freestyle skiing.
Through the classic style, it was amazing to see all four of Canada’s team in the lead pack. …
Paul Millsap
Paul Millsap came into the league highly un-regarded as an NBA player. Even i myself didn’t know who this guy was but the fact remains that he has grabbed the most rebounds in NCAA for three straight years. He led the nation in rebounding since his freshmen year up …
Grant Hill
Way back in the way back machine, the year was 1995 and there was a team in NCCA mens division 1 basketball that would one day go down as the (arguably) greatest college basketball team of all time. This team? The Duke University Blue Devils. With players like Christian …

Atlanta Braves 2006 Baseball Season
What is up with the Braves this year? It seems like they can’t decide if they want to continue being a good team or if they want to end their record breaking 14 straight titles over the past 14 years this year. They also seem to …
NASCAR Cup Race June 22, 2008-Sonoma
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 …
Vince Young

Dover NASCAR Race
The Nationwide race at Dover International Speedway was one that people will be talking about for years to come. For some people the main reason they tuned in was to see racing phenom Joey Lagono in his first major stock car debut. Mark Martin first spotted his talent a …
Wrestler: Big Guido

Seattle Seahawks
Well, I guess I was wrong about the Seattle Seahawks this year. I thought they would be a legitimate playoff contender under new head coach Jim Mora but that’s obviously not the case.
Not that it is totally his fault. The team has suffered quite a few injuries to key …
Willie Green
Willie Green of the Philadelphia 76ers is a pleasant surprise for the team. I have seen him develop into the player that i’m sure former General Manager Billy King envisioned him to become. With the lack of firepower the Sixers are experiencing right now, Green has made himself into …

Vernand Morency
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 …
Aaron Brooks
Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets is a very small point guard for that team that they signed out of the D-league where he was having a career year with an average of 23.5 points a game, 5.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. This numbers are the very …
Oakland Raiders Preseason
Last year, I went out on a limb and predicted the Miami Dolphins would end up surprising people and be one of the most improved teams in the league after going 1-15 the year before. I was surprised when they did better than even I predicted.
This year, I’m going …

For everything that the Philadelphia Eagles are, what they are not is a team without a quarterback. Regardless what you think about Donovan McNabb, he is a very gifted athlete and a tremendous quarterback in the national football league. His problem is, he loves football to a fault. He …
David Haye v Audley Harrison

My initial thought was why on earth …

After yet another losing season, the Detroit Lions decided to make a major change to turn their fortunes around�.they fired their offensive coordinator. Give me a break.

Richard Yee of Purefoods team
If there is one under-rated player in the PBA today, it has to be the Purefoods TJ Giant’s Richard Yee. For all I care, Yee deserved a spot in the rotation of Coach Ryan Gregorio. He is tall and athletic and can definitely provide quality minutes off the bench. …
Absa Premiership, South African Premier Soccer League
Ranked in the top ten best leagues in the world, I think much of the basis for this ranking lies firmly on the amount of money flowing through the Absa Premiership, the sponsorships as well as the organization, but not the quality of football itself.
As a South African, soccer …

Najeh Davenport
At one point, Najeh Davenport looked like he would be the Packers future starter at running back. Now, if they had more depth at running back, he would be on the street.
Davenport has a good combination of size and speed. However, he never learned to lower his shoulders, which …
Onyx Vibe Hammer Bowling Ball
I decided to get my husband a new 16 pound bowling ball for his birthday. He ended up picking out the Onyx Vibe Hammer bowling ball. It only took about 4 days for the pro-shop at our local bowling alley to get the ball in after they ordered …
Steve Spagnuolo
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 …

Laveranues Coles
