When the Chargers started the 2007 season, it looked like they made a huge mistake firing Marty Schottenheimer last year. But, as the season progressed and the team got more comfortable with Norv Turner, I think they will once again be a dangerous team in the AFC playoffs. Granted, …

I like this guy Stephen Graham of the Indiana Pacers for the very little playing time that he has gotten so far. When he is in the game he makes a bit of a difference with his ability to get into the lane and be aggressive. What i …

Not to be a racist or anything but there have been a lesser number of white players specially the small ones that has made it into the NBA than african american. Of course some of this are mainly due to the fact that African Americans are much gifted athletically …

The Packers had high hopes for Robert Ferguson when they drafted him in the second round a few years ago but all he’s done is been a disappointment.

The Denver Nuggets of the NBA in my own estimation is probably the most talented team out there. I know some of you might argue and make a case for the Boston Celtics but i have to stick with the Nuggets in this category.
What they have is a team …

Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts is probably one of my most favorite quarterbacks of all time. I have three in that category in Bret Favre and Tom Brady. Manning though in my own opinion is one of the best offensive quarterbacks. He has great vision that enables him …

I’m truly not much of a sports fanatic. I mean some women I know like all of it. They’re right on the sofa next to the husband hooting and hollering over every first down, basket, goal and home run of every game whether it’s Football, Basketball, Hockey or …

Hakim Warrick of the Memphis Grizzlies has one of the most freakish athleticism there is in the game right now. He is one hell of an athlete and can jump really high with some great extensions off of those long and rangy arms of his. For the Memphis Grizzlies …

Jarvis Hayes of the Detroit Pistons started his young career with the Washington Wizards playing alongside the likes of Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. He has made some strides in his career in the NBA but he still generally lacks the overall confidence that will make him …

Memphis Grizzlies Forward Mike Miller whome they acquired from the Orlando Magic for Drew Gooden is one of those versatile mid players that can almost do everything. Miller can especially shoot from the deep and this perhaps was the reason the Magic drafted him really high on the ‘02 …

There where reports early in the preseason that a fist fight between Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood erupted during a practice session when the two where going at it for the starting Center position. Unfortunately for Thomas he lost that job to Haywood when the doctors ordered him out …

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 …

The recent decision by the Houston Texans to release quarterback David Carr will come back to haunt them in the future.
Even though Carr has not performed well since the team selected him first overall, most of his performance can be blamed on the lack of talent surrounding him on …

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. …

Torry Holt, the nine year veteran receiver from North Carolina State, has been with the St. Louis Rams through the struggles of losing, the glory days, and back again. The six foot receiver was part of the greatest show on turf. The nickname given to the Rams with Kurt …

I’ve been riding horses for about five years now. And I’ve come to understand that riding can be a very dangerous sport. Around 20 people die a year from horse related accidents. That number may be small but no one can really say if they are completely safe or …

I found this much too expensive for just casual wear, it’s price was valued at approximately $60.8 USD and I just couldn’t buy it because I would only be getting to wear it when I walk my dog or when I’m in a hurry to get dressed, which doesn’t …

Former Boston Celtic and all-star Antoine Walker has taken in a supporting role with the Miami Heat just for the chance in winning it all. This decline in his role is testament to what he has undermied as an important factor in his career and his life. Instead of …

Ronnie Brewer of the Utah Jazz is the leading most improved player in my opinion in the whole league so far this year. With the Jazz needing badly to have a shooting two guard which is the weakest spot they have in their roster, comes the emergence of Ronnie …

Spencer Hawes of the Sacramento Kings whom they drafted at the eleventh overall pick in this year’s draft is slowly making progress this season. He was injured before the season even started and a lot of rumors about his chronic health problems in the past that might haunt his …

Chris Wilcox is finally playing the way that the team that drafted him envisioned he would be. The Los Angeles Clippers might be kicking itself now with the decision to release Wilcox for nothing coming back to haunt them.
Chris has had a great year for the Seattle Supersonics …

Jameer Nelson, the consensus player of the year from collegiate ranks entering his first NBA season played with a chip on his shoulder. he was uncharacteristically drafted 20th on that ‘03 draft mainly because of his size rather than his ability. This is something that i think he played …

The Tippmann Alpha Black Paintball Marker is one of the more common guns I’ve come across playing paintball. I own one myself, and have been extremely pleased with its performance. It’s rugged. It won’t break. I’ve seen the gun bashed on rocks, trees, shrubs, …

Part of the things I dislike about golf is that when you live in a climate like the west coast of BC, you cannot expect a lot of non-rainy days, so if you are going to spend any time outside at all, you have to have the right rain …

Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …

Michael Sprott vs Audley Harrison. I have to admit that I have tried supporting Audley for many years, despite his doubters, but as a fighter he has always frustrated me. An awful amount of talk and yet very little in his fights.
Having literally walked through Prize Fighter he was …

Now that Tony Sparano has been named Miami Dolphins’ head coach, I have to question the decision a bit.
Not that Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s doing when he hired his former assistant coach, it’s just Sparano might be a bit overrated because he really hasn’t accomplished a whole …

Though for some reason I’ve never been a fan of the NCAA mens basketball division 1 team, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, I have always been a fan of Chris Bosh. I loved watching Bosh play in college five years ago. He was super tall, coming in aat six …

I have never purchased a golf umbrella in my life before. Honestly, I did not know that they were any different than regular umbrellas.
That being said, the new Nike Victory Red Golf Umbrella is a very well crafted product. I bought the 62 inch version and this thing is …

Dunn is a shifty runner who possesses surprising ability to run beteen the tackles despite his small stature, at 5′9″ and 180 pounds. In 2003 the Falcons’ talented halfback tallied two 100-yard games. Dunn came over from Tampa Bay in 2002, and has had a great career so far …

I wasn’t sure if Art Shell was the right person to come back and coach the Raiders this year, but I have to admit the team looked pretty good during this pre-season matchup.
The defense forced 5 turnovers and kicker Sebastian Janikowski kicked 3 field goals in the win.
The Eagles …
