Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …

Bison Smith is currently one of my favorite wrestlers on the independent circuit, if you do not know why he has the name Bison smith, then you will need to take a look at him and make that decision for yourself. He is an innovator of smash mouth and …

Another player that i didn’t expect to become a star in the NBA is Kevin Martin of the Sacramento Kings. He doesn’t have the persona, the size and the weight to be an unstoppable player in the league. But a superstar is exactly what he has become. He has …

The Cleveland Browns fate for the playoffs this year didn’t rest in their hands. After winning nine games, it was totally dependant on what the Tennessee Titans did against the Colts (win or lost) that would decide the Browns fate. This was a shock for the people of Cleveland. …

Manu Ginobili from Argentina is probably the NBA’s best sixth man ever. He is a dynamic player who electrifies the arena once he gets inside a game. Playing for the San Antonio Spurs, he was one of the reasons the Spurs won it all last year.

Any team drafting Brigham Young quarterback John Beck this season should do so with the realization he’ll have to sit on the bench for a couple of seasons before he’s ready to start a game. However, once he has time to develop, he should be a decent starter.
BYU runs …

When the Cincinnati Bengals chose to keep Marvin Lewis as their head coach, I’m convinced it was more because they didn’t think they could find anyone better than him actually being the right fit for the organization. I think they are waiting to see if Bill Cowher will be …

This is probably the …

Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns is one of the top tree forwards in the league in my estimation. In an offense like the Phoenix Suns, Marion’s ability to glide to the hoop and not need many set-up plays is very valuable. To be effective doesn’t need plays to …

When the Eagles first signed Jeff Garcia as a back-up quarterback, my question was “why.”
After seeing him play filling in for Donovan McNaab Sunday, I still have the same question.
There is no way Garcia should be playing in the NFL, even as a backup. He no longer has the …

I have always known Basiten Schweisteigger as a great player, from the first time I saw him play as a speedy winger for his German national football team in years gone by, but it was at the 2010 FIFA World Cup where his quality was confirmed with me.
I really …

Tonight’s race made me wish that it were next week already. As much as people whine and complain about the NASCAR Cup drivers racing against the up and comers in the Nationwide Series, I think it makes things much more interesting. Seeing only a handful of drivers pulling double …

Im not a huge fan of Carl Froch, but i was interested to see how he would come back from his first career defeat when he faced Arthur Abraham in the Super 6 boxing competition. I didn’t know too much about Abraham, but the press seemed to build him …

Quincy Douby, the one year guard out of Rutgers University, will no doubt make a name for himself in this league. I’ve seen the kid play. There have only been a few guards I’ve seen in the past decade that can do what he does. He can run the …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad. A true desire to make his mark saw him play with real …

Brandon Jackson is the backup running back for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. He’s a very good backup to have on your team, especially for the Packers new, young QB, Aaron Rodgers. Jackson gives Rodgers a check down, and a reliable checkdown at that. You look back …

Carl Landry of the Houston Rockets is more of a project for them right now than an instant contributor. I do like his game. He has a nice mid range jumper for a power forward. A nice stroke that with confidence will lead to a high accuracy in the …

Brooking put forth some filthy efforts for the “Dirty Birds” in 2003. The Prow Bowl linebacker led the Falcons with 144 tackles, that made him second in the NFC, and had five games with double-digit solo stops. He seems pretty small to be doing that at 6′2″ and 245 …

Well, I’ll admit it, when the Minnesota Vikings started out their season, I never thought they would be the team to claim the competitive NFC North title. I thought the Packers would do it and, if not them, the Chicago Bears.
I’ll give them my congratulations but, even though the …

After the much awaited match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto has come to an end, I’m inclined to write about Cotto out of sheer admiration for the guy. As a Filipino, I was for Pacquiao all throughout the match and would even scream and raise a fist everytime …

Chicago Bulls forward Mike Sweetney whome they got from the New York Knicks for that Eddie Curry deal has one of the biggest and most heaviest players in the league. Sweetney though isn’t slow for his size and weight. He is agile enough to move around the rim and …

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …

I decided on the Bern Watts helmet. Bern designs really cool helmets …

After playing with the Prince Synthetic Gut 16 gauge (with Duraflex), I have found that the string is not durable enough for advanced players who like to hit with spin and power. The string broke after only 8-10 hours of playing and thus, did not satisfy my needs. …

Ime Udoka of the San Antonio Spurs has bounced from league to league in the whole world even playing in countries like the Philippines, Qatar and Italy and from team to team in the NBA. He has played very little time in the league but has had great experiences …

In my experience, Arsenal is more of the extravagant team in the English Premier League with the aim of preserving the purists’ approach to football and their focus is more on how they play instead of just playing for results.
As an onlooker, this makes for some great entertainment for …

Packers training camp is just around the corner and, being the fan that I am (and being absolutely bored today) I feel I would take a few minutes to review what I feel to be a very talented team with potential for great things; assuming a few weak spots …

Ira Newble of the Cleveland Cavaliers is one of those veteran presence that helps a teams other young players develop in terms of character more than anything. He is in the mold of a Greg Buckner who helps a young team like the Cavaliers are develop into a contender …
