I have a great deal of respect for Bob Backlund as during his day, he was living proof that you did not need a gimmick to get over in wrestling. Alls that you needed was to be good at your craft, to be a good wrestler and have a …

Today I watched the qualifying for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Women’s Halfpipe competition, and it was very interesting.

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers has taken a long time to develop into a formidable player in the league. Slowly as it may seem though, he has in my opinion created a name for himself as a legit NBA player that can shoot the ball as a …

Every year, the Minnesota Vikings are expected to be the next Super Bowl winner. And, each year, they disappoint.

After several months of talk and hype, Shannon Briggs faced Vitali Klitchskco in Hamburg for the Ukranians WBC heavyweight title. I decided to tune in because with David Haye yet to secure a fight with a Klitchsko brother, I was yet to really watch one of their fights to …

There is a famous Dennis Green quote “They are Who We Thought They Were,” said while he was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

When I look at the 2007 Minnesota Vikings, I am reminded of Murphy�s Law �What can go wrong, will go wrong.� The reality is, if the Vikings didn�t have bad luck, they would have no luck at all.
