Wrestling: The Main Event Mafia
The Main Event Mafia as the name may suggest, is not only a collective collaboration of some of the greatest Main event Caliber professional wrestlers of all time, it is also a collective collaboration of some of the greatest world heavyweight champions in the history of professional wrestling. The …
Red Asics GT-2140
I bought these Asics about a year ago to prepare to run for the Boston Marathon. (I had already qualified for it earlier that year.) My old shoes looked the almost 1,000 miles that it had suffered through, and I saw that my wallet was almost depleted. I headed …
Verona Hills Golf Club
Verona Hills is a beautiful and well maintained golf course located in the thumb of Michigan. Not something you would expect to find in the vast flat farmlands of the area, Verona Hills 18 hole championship course is indeed a pleasant novelty. It’s been there since 1924 and I often …
Chad Pennington
It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …
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 …
Troy Murphy
Troy Murphy of the Golden State Warriors is a versatile big guy who can step into the three point range and shoot it with some consistency and accuracy as well. He also posses the midrange jumper and can make successive post up moves that dazzles the crowd and the …
Jarrett Jack
Jarett Jack of the Portland Trailblazers started the year as the team’s official starter at the point guard spot. He has since then lost that starting position to Steve Blake as he now comes off the bench but his play has dramatically improved since the switch.
He has played inspired …
George Karl
Coach George Karl of the Denver Nuggets is one of the most discipline oriented coaches in the NBA. He has great defensive philosophy that he incorporates to each and every team that he has coached for. With the Nuggets though Karl has a team filled with superstars and really …
Jerry Stackhouse
When I think of Jerry Stackhouse, I always think of the best baked potato I ever had at Jerry’s Steakhouse. True Story. But I also think of the most ridiculous claim I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Stackhouse, the six foot six, twelve year vet from the NCAA’s …
Grant Hill
Grant Hill of the Orlando Magic was a perenial all star before injury struck hard. Playing for the Pistons back then he was simply in a league on his own. Highly agile for a 6-8 forward/guard, he often entered the lane with his crossover moves, using his quickness and …
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 …
Washington Generals
I took some time to express my opinion of the Harlem Globetrotters and how entertaining they are to watch. But, I also want to take a few moments to also commend the Washington Generals; one of the teams the Globetrotters always beat.
Most people will wonder why I’m doing this. …
Pat Garrity
Pat Garrity of the Orlando Magic is one of the best shooters in the game today. The only problem is that’s about the only thing he does on a basketball court. He contributes very little on other aspects of the game and his vigor to improve himself has slowly …
Imraan Khan
Imraan Khan is best Pakistani all rounder of all times. He was a very successful caption and he lead his country to win the world cup 1992. Imraan Khan was a good accurate fast medium bowler and he useful middle order batsman. He consistently contributed with his batting and …
Carlos Boozer
Utah Jazz star Carlos Boozer who suffered from an injury plagued season last year has slowly recovered before the season ended. He showed promise of recovering his old deadly self before the injury and will become the teams main man in offense. Boozer is very gifted physically and offensively. …
Sean Marks
Sean Marks of the Phoenix Suns has been in the league for a long time now. I am actually surprised to see that Sean Marks is playing his eight season in the league and many people haven’t even heard of him. Over the years as a spectator of not …
Donald Lee
The Green Bay Packers recently signed tight end Donald Lee to a contract extension. After seeing him play this year, I have to say it was a great move.
The Packers had entered the season appearing to be thin at that position; especially after David Martin signed with the Miami …
82games.com
Mad about NBA statistics? I am.. hehe.. Anyway, 82games.com is a website that offers probably the best statistics in the whole worldwideweb. For NBA fantasy league owners such as myself, there is no better site to check on a player or a teams statistics. I highly recommend this site …
Target Fitness Exercise Ball
The Target Fitness Exercise Ball is a very useful exercise tool. I have found it to be a good product and would love to share my experience with you.
Let me start this review by saying that I like the way this exercise ball is designed. It comes in a …
2008 Minnesota Vikings
A lot of people look at the Minnesota Vikings this year and list them as the favorites to win the NFC North division. While that might be the case, I don’t think it is as clear cut as many people think it is.
Here’s a look at the team; position …
Carlos Delfinp
The Toronto Raptors are lucky to have found and signed Carlos Delfino away from the Detroit Pistons. I really like this player. He is very tough, strong and quick and above all i just can’t imagine his persona to be the type that would shy away from a challenge. …
Aaron Williams
I remember Aaron Williams now with the Los Angeles Clippers the most when he was still playing for the New Jersey Nets where i believe was the high point of his career in the NBA as well. Back then he was an active contributor to a team that had …
Head Liquidmetal 8 Tennis Racket
I remember the third Christmas after starting to play tennis. I woke up that morning to find a fairly large rectangular box in under the Christmas tree in the living room. Guessing that it probably was I tennis racket from my tennis addict father, I anticipated and hoped that …
Lamar Odom
Lamar Odom loves Los Angeles, there’s no doubt about it. I don’t think he wants to call anywhere “home” unless it’s the Staples Center. Why do I think this? Because after playing for the less popular of the two LA teams, the Clippers, Odom then moved over and signed …
England football team
Now that the 2010 World Cup is over, I suppose it is time to review the performance of the England side, which happens to be my home team. That’s not something I am particularly pleased about, given their disappointing (to use a very mild word) level of achievement in …
The Philippine Basketball Association
I was first introduced to the PBA in grade three when I became a fan of Alvin Patrimonio and the Purefoods Team. Back then, my knowledge about the league is next to none and I seldom watch the games.
But when I was re-introduced once again when I was …
Preseason Bears versus 49ers
From what I saw of the Bears during their first pre-season game, I think you’re going to see another season where their defense will win them the division but their offense will keep them from going far in the playoffs.
Starter Rex Grossman and the first team offense did absolutely …
Yao Ming
Yao Ming who currently is the tallest player in the NBA has the chance to be the leagues most dominant player this generation. At seven feet and six inches. Ming has the moves inside and the soft touch to be able to knock down open shots. Ming also has …
Andrea Bargnani
Andrea Bargnani the former first overall pick in the NBA draft has had a solid year so far if his not injured. He has missed several games though due to various ailments and injuries and have been limited to some games to lower minutes. But in games that he …
Antoine Wright
Antoine Wright has been a big surprise early this season for the New Jersey Nets. With Vince Carter being out with injury early on, Wright has stepped into the starting line-up and has produced significantly for the Nets. He has given them toughness in the three spot and some …
Ben Gordon
Chicago Bulls Small Guard Ben Gordon who before entering the NBA was a national champion at the University of Connecticut won the rookie of the year award last year. He often hit big shots at the end of games to slowly gain a reputation as one of the league’s …
Barcelona Football Club
Since I consider myself a purist when it comes to soccer, I am considerably impressed by the style of play employed by the likes of Barcelona FC as well as Arsenal FC.
I am particularly fascinated by the way in which Barcelona play of late, especially since in the past …
Seattle Seahawks Preseason
Last season, the Seattle Seahawks were supposed to send retiring head coach Mike Holmgren out on a high note. As it turns out, the team ended up struggling in his final year and he ended up leaving after a losing season with the franchise.
This year is about change. Jim …
Ultrasport F-Bike
I used to keep fit by jogging. But as I got older I found that niggles in my ankle and knee joints were getting more frequent and taking longer to heal. In fact, there came a point when I was spending more time recovering than actually jogging. …
Shane Warne
Shane Warne is worlds greatest leg spinner ever. He currently holds record for maximum test wickets. He like murlidharan has amazing tendency to spin the ball on any surface. However he is not as successful with Indian so he has done on other country. This is the only …
Mongoose 26 in. Womens Estes Bicycle
My family and I love to ride bikes and sometimes we get into a little bit of rough terrain. That is what led me to the decision of buying my Mongoose bike. It is a 26 inch Womens Estes. Like I said the riding gets pretty rough so I …
Dikembe Mutombo
Dikembe Mutombo is perhaps one of the best shot blockers all time in the league. He came from congo and experienced poverty when he was growing up. With his seven foot two inches tall frame though, Mutombo used it to get a collegiate scholarship in the US and have …
Devin Hester
Ok, when people talk about Chicago Bears’ player Devin Hester, I will be the first to admit he’s pretty fast. After all, Madden Football gave him the first ever 100 speed rating.
But, I also think he’s very overrated.
The guy is dangerous as a kick returner. But, the fact he …
Joe Johnson
He was named as the team captain for the Atlanta Hawks and to me that stated the type of player Joe Johnson is. His a deadly three point shooter and at 6 feet 7 inches tall playing the two guard position, he has the size and the strength to …
US Open 2008: Federer vs. Murray
An up and coming youngster from Britain and a fading champion from Switzerland (in the eyes of most critics anyway) stood face to face at one of the grandest of stages in tennis with one itching to win his first ever career grand slam and the other, determined to …
Crocodile Water Toy
My kids wanted to learn swimming. My husband arranged a swimming teacher for them. We arranged one lesson per week as she was not available for other days. Some times I took them for swimming without a teacher. I my self do not know swimming. I found my self …
Innova Monarch Disc
I have been playing disc golf for a few years now, and I’ve thrown a fair variety of discs. I originally picked up the Innova Monarch when I was still somewhat new to the game, thinking it would be a great disc for turn over shots between one …
Foxsports.com/NBA
As an alternate to reading NBA.com as the main provider of information for anything NBA i read and scroll through Foxsports.com/nba section. The difference between the 2 sites is that foxsports focuses and gives more emphasis on the articles by its contributing bloggers or writers. The capture their audience …
Peja Stojakovic
Out of all the European players currently lending their services and talents to the National Basketball Association, Peja Stojakovic was probably the first and still one of the most famous. Of corse he wasn’t the first European player, but he was definitely one of the first legitimate super stars …
Xavi Hernandez Spanish Soccer Player
From my personal point of view, as someone who is head deep into the beautiful game of football, there is quite a disturbing trend I have noticed in world football, something I am quilty of myself too, and that is how players that score the goals get all the …
Manchester United v Millwall - 2004 FA Cup Final
2004 saw an FA Cup Final that seemed to make most people other than Manchester United and Millwall fans turn of. It wasn’t that the game promised to be boring, it was more the fact that Manchester United went into this game as huge favourites because they were seen …
Basketball Player: Jared Swopshire
Jared Swopshire is a 6-7, 215 pound Freshman playing for the University of Louisville. He hails from St. Louis, Missouri. He has not received a lot of playing time this year but has cracked the rotation as the 9th man.
Pros: Swopshire has good height and length …
Sacramento Kings
I really don’t know how this team came to it’s downfall. Four years removed from being serious title contenders in the West when they had magnificent starting line-up of Webber, Divac, Bibby, Stojakovic and Christie. Mike Bibby is still running the show with old holdovers in Brad Miller backing …
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 …
