Opp Country Club
I played a little out of the way golf course while visiting friends in Alabama. The country club in Opp, Alabama is a pretty basic little golf course that I happened to play one weekend because they had organized a scramble tournament. I do not envisage ever going back …
Super Bowl 42
Some claim that it is undoubtedly the biggest sport event of the entire year. The Super Bowl. Now I will admit to not being the biggest most diehard football fan, I enjoy an occasional good game and am always down to watch my hometown team, The Chargers, play. Shout …
Clive Potter’s Sil Lum Tao DVD
Wing Chun is probably the most popular style of traditional Kung Fu in the world today. In great part, this is because Bruce Lee studied the art in his teenage years. While the association with Bruce Lee certainly helped expand the popularity of the art, if Wing Chun did …
Brodie Croyle
Brodie Croyle was a great starting quarterback for the University of Alabama. Croyle was great throughout the entire season and helped his team along almost all by himself. Brodie’s teammates all looked up to him sort of as the team leader. If your looking for someone that can …
Chris Duhon
During his time spent with the NCAA mens college basketball divison 1 team, the Duke Blue Devils, Chris Duhon was the yin to Luol Deng’s yang. The duo wowed fans and made believers out of critics. It’s a given that the Blue Devils will always have talent. There’s something …
Franklin Fielding Glove (Childrens )
Well Saturday April 21st is the big day for my grandaughter Shelly, as this is the first year she has joined Little Leauge! She’s eight years old. I’m so proud of her for wanting to join a sport. I’m even more proud, because she wanted to buy her glove …
Wrestler: Barry Windham
Barry Windham was one of the first people I saw when I first watched Professional Wrestling as a child. He was a heel at the time, so naturally I took a disliking to him as you do when your that age, but as I grew older I started to …
Chris Paul
I’m not sure why, but when I think of Chris Paul ( the six foot tall point guard from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in his second year in the NBA) I seen to think of Minnesota. Not the basketball team, the Timberwolves, but the entire state. I’m not …
Justin Williams
Justin Williams of the Sacramento Kings who is entering his second season out of Illinois must start to show what he got in his game to stay in the league. He has so far struggled from his rookie season and just hasn’t gotten himself going. I like Williams in …
NASCAR: Truck Series - Copart 200 race
Having been postponed one day because of rain in Milwaukee, the Camping World Truck Series Copart 200 race took place on Saturday afternoon, June 20th. With the field lined up by owner’s points, it was Brian Ickler on the pole, and he did lead the first lap before …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Speed Skating - 500m
I really enjoy the short speed skating events. They are fast and exciting. It’s pretty easy to follow, and there’s the element of suspense the closer it gets to the final racers.
Women’s Speed Skating - 500m in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics involved two runs. The …
KSix-One Tour 90
So I recently tried out the KSix-One Tour 90 raquet on an open day at my local tennis club. The raquet is the same as used by world number one tennis player Roger Federer. As I approached a practice set with my playing parter I decided to use the …
Antawn Jamison
The North Carolina Tarheels have long been atop of the NCAA Men’s Division one college basketball standings. They have put tremendously talented basketball players through to the National Basketball Association, and through to the real world where young men have made a success out of life. Such is the …
Kansas City Chiefs
The teams that fired their head coaches this year weren’t much of a shock. What was more of a shock is the fact the Kansas Chiefs didn�t make any changes, at very least at General manager.
Let�s face it, this team is terrible; even worse than their record indicates. They …
Tim Duncan
Very rarely has someone came along in the sports world that has captured my attention so compeltely. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons gave the National Basketball Association a real gift when Tim Duncan came out in the draft over ten years ago. The San Antonio Spurs, who were habitual …
Kurt Warner
During his prime, Kurt Warner was as good as any quarterback in the NFL. But, looking at him now, I don’t think he’s ever going to be confused with a hall of famer either.
Warner hit it big a few years ago because he was in the right situation at …
Mehmet Okur
The Turks must love their basketball over there. I had no idea that it was players dreams in Europe to play for the NBA. Or is Turkey in Asia? I know that every kid in America dreams of either being an athlete or a rock star. And with the …
Hiking at Tunica Hills
Tunica Hills has great hiking trails for all skill levels, and is second only to the Azalea Trails in terms of quality and length. Though it has no direct street address, it’s easy to find off of Hwy 67 in St. Francisville. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries …
Othella Harrington
NCAA mens basketball has always had some big named schools, this is especially true of the Georgetown Hoyas who have given the league greats like Patric Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson. There was a little known player in Georgetown during the days of A I, his name was …
Carling Cup 2010 - 2011 Season - Manchester United v Wolves
The next round of the Carling Cup saw Manchester United pit their wits against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Last year Wolves had fielded a weakened side in the league at Old Trafford and received widespread criticism for it, but this time the side that was going to play looked quite useful. …
Malik Rose
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 …
Re-examining the Minnesota Vikings
Just before preseason, I took a look at the Minnesota Vikings and thought they were an overrated team; especially since they didn’t have an answer at the quarterback position. Then they signed Brett Favre and are now off to a 2-0 start.
You know what, they are better than I …
John Harbaugh
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 …
Andrei Kirilenko
All these European players with their offense, offense, offense. Did anyone ever teach these guys that the ball bounces both ways? Apparently not. I was watching the playoffs last year where I witnessed the Russian born player, Andrei Kirilenko get dunked on by Baron Davis. Sure, Baron dunks on …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Short Track - Men’s 1000m
I have to say that I did a lot of holding my breath during the Men’s 1000m short track event at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. This sport changes on a dime. One second you’re in the lead, and the next you’re sliding into the pad. …
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 …
Johan Petro
Until recently, I only knew of two players who came out of France. One of them is the super lucky super star for the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker. This France phenom is the Seattle SuperSonics seven footer playing center, Johan Petro. Petro has only been in the league …
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning is the current starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. I believe that Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of his generation. He has the most consistant play in the league, as he has lead the Colts to the playoffs every year for …
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
If you come to Baltimore you have to try to at least visit the home of the orioles Camden Yards. When it was decided around 156years ago to move the Orioles from Memorial stadium to a downtown location there was a lot of hoopla that this concept …
Babolat Pure Drive GT racket
I have been playing tennis for most of my life, and have experienced a wide range of rackets, ranging from Wilson to Dunlop via Head and Yonex. I have developed a love story with Babolat of late however, after trying out some of their newest products. As a junior, …
2010 World Cup Final (football)
Rather as I had feared, the 2010 World Cup Final proved to be a pretty disappointing affair, which will probably end up being remembered more for the enormous number of niggling fouls and yellow cards (fourteen, including two - and therefore a red - to one player) than for …
Buana Marga Golf Course
This golf course was established in 2001. The land which is about 1 hectare has been used for golf course so far. At first, this area was an infertile land, but after it has been cultivated by Ir. H. Sulaeman, now …
Eduardo Najera
Eduardo Najera of the Denver Nuggets who hails from Mexico is one of the most hardest working players in the league today. He is one hell of a hustle player for them and plays with such energy that is infectious to the whole team. He does play a bit …
Maria Sharapova
Tennis superstar Maria Sharapova who’s popular not only in tennis but also with her looks and her modeling career is not in the path of another Anna Kournikova. She has already won the Wimbledon and is currently one of the topn players in the world. She uses her length …
Sasha Pavlovic
Sasha Pavlovic of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a player that i consider as one of the most boastful there ever was. Asked what would be his greatest defense that he can contribute to the team. He simply answered, My greatest defense is my offense. While that is true to …
Dwight Howard
The Orlando Magic’s franchise got the wishes when they won the ‘02 NBA draft. They selected Dwight David Howard out of South Christian academy in Atlanta. Howard in my humble opinion will eventually blossom into those rare breed of NBA players that are labeled as ” Franchise Changing” players. …
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 …
Joe Horn
With everything the Atlanta Falcons have been through these past two seasons, it is no wonder they went out and got a guy like Joe Horn. With Michael Vick, their supposed franchise quarterback in jail, the Falcons had to make due with what was available. The ownership for the …
Packers 2006 scrimmage
It’s hard to draw any real conclusions from a team scrimmage (I’m reserving final judgement for preseason) but, from what I did see, the team looks much sharper than it did at this time last year.
Brett Favre was very accurate during the scrimmage and even managed to throw for …
Al Horford
The Third overall pick in this years draft, Al Horford has challenged the formerly unanimous Rookie of the Year candidate Kevin Durant. He has averaged a solid 10.8 points a game and an outstanding 9.3 rebounds per that is really surprising to me since i never expected him to …
Charlie Bell
Charlie Bell caught my eye when he was playing guard for the Michigan State Spartans. This was only three short years ago, so I can remember him like it were only yesterday. Though he’s been drafted by and playing with the Milwaukee Bucks organization since then, I think i’d …
Boris Diaw
The frenchman, Boris Diaw. A versatile 6 feet 10 inch import from the land of wine is a very good find for the Phoenix Suns. He has a respectable shot from the outside that in the valley of the suns is a must. In the team though i consider …
Chris Richard
Chris Richard out of the Florida Gators in the collegiate ranks has had a great career there and has just started his pro career with the Minnesota Timberwolves and has seen very little playing time for now. I think the Twolves though are just waiting for him to mature …
Eric Moulds
The Tennessee Titans are starting to make vast improvements on their once losing team. They went to the playoffs this year in only Vince Young’s second season and will most likely also make it there next year. They have a host of young wide receivers which includes Mike Williams …
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 …
Nike Tennis Apparel
I have been actively playing tennis for almost seven years now. I love and enjoyed the game. I believe this sport is quite costly because of the apparels and gadgets I have been using.
Nike Tennis Apparels are costly stuffs I bought …
Jeff Green
Jeff Green who was drafted as the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft by the Boston Celtics and was traded immediately to the Seattle Supersonics for Ray Allen is one of the better Rookies out there today. He comes off the bench for the Seattle Supersonics and produces …
Todd Bouman
When Todd Bouman was playing as a back up quarterback for the Vikings, I never once thought I would ever see him as a Packer. However, when Green Bay signed him last week, I thought it was a great personnel move.
Bouman is never going to be a full-time starter …
Gregg Williams
I read today that the Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Bills’ head coach Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator. I couldn’t think of a better movie.
Williams is a true motivator. His defenses will do anything for him and that commitment should help Jacksonville get over the final hurdle toward winning …
