The Cleveland Cavaliers have a lot to look forward to in their future. They have probably the best big-small man of all time in Lebron James. They have a young roster of player that are all willing to learn and take things one step at a time. And they …

Probably one of the best shot blocking big man to ever play the game. He has great timing and before he had kidney transplant, Mourning was an unstoppable force in the middle. He owned an array of shots and abilities with either facing up or posting down low in …

Juan Dixon who was saved by the Raptors from playing in Tel Aviv last year has been a productive player off the bench for Toronto this year.
The problem with Dixon that has probably hounded him for the majority of his career is the fact that his a bit undersized …

It is unsure whether New York Jets quarterback, Chad Pennington, will return to action next year. His contract expires and you wonder if another team may want a veteran quarterback to bring their franchise back to winning ways. A lot of criticism about Chad’s not so strong arm have …

Brian Scalabrine started his NBA career with the New Jersey Nets playing in that team that went to the NBA finals with Jason Kidd, K-mart, Kittles and RJ at the helm.

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games continued its biathlon events with the Women’s 12.5 Pursuit Mass Start. I prefer the mass starts over the individual, separated timed events. I want to see competition, fast and furious. It leads to more thrills and excitement, and that’s what …

I didn’t know a whole lot about the Cincinnati Bengals this year until I got a chance to watch them first hand last night against the Green Bay Packers in pre-season.
After seeing them, I have to say I think Marvin Lewis needs to be afraid of losing his job …

Bo Outlaw has bounced around the league for quite some time now. I think his career really did start with the Orlando Magic for that Shaquille O’neal and Penny Hardaway era that they had. He was a vital player off the bench for that team. Since then he was …

While I like his leadership, I do think teams that are serious about signing former Miami Dolphins Linebacker Zach Thomas as a free agent are going to have to look at him very closely.

I can’t say too much about Bruce Bowen without becoming completely infuriated. He is a six foot seven small forward out of Cal State Fullerton who currently plays with the San Antonio Spurs. He has played eleven extremely dirty and rule breaking years in the National Basketball Association. And …

The Eagles survived a tough test in Week 7 of 2004 when the Browns made enough plays in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Pinkston made six catches for 100 yards with David Akers booting the game winner from 50 yards out in their team’s 34-31 victory. Pinkston has …

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. …

When playing paintball, most people realize that the price of paint is extremely expensive. Seconds paintballs are definitely a good way to beat the price of paintballs.
Of course, seconds paintballs aren’t up to the quality of the other brands of paintballs being sold, and are therefore much cheaper.
Seconds paintballs …

As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …
