Looking at the names of the top receivers in the league, I always notice Donald Driver’s name is ommitted. He has to be one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL.
Coming to the Packers as a late round draft choice, Driver worked his way up the depth chart …

Last year, I thought the St. Louis Rams were a team that was ready to make that next step and actually surprise people. I didn’t think they would be a playoff team. But, I also didn’t think they would end up near the bottom of the league once again.
Boy, …

In May 1999 Manchester United were chasing an unprecedented treble of winning the English Premier League, the FA Cup and the European Cup. They had an awesome squad, but there were some of the greatest players that had ever lived who had not won the European Cup, let alone …

I am neither a fan of the two teams. In fact, I don’t like to see them win so other can have the chance at the championship. However, watching the two of them slug it out in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs was simply amazing!
Defending …

The more I watch Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson play, the more I think he’s going to end up being a waste of a second round pick.
Running backs typically start showing their skills immediately at the NFL level because it’s a position that relies almost solely on instinct. …

Drew Gooden who came out of the Kansas Jayhawks program in the NCAA has been a consistent player for the Cavaliers. He was an integral part of that run they made last year that eventually netted them the eastern conference champions.
Gooden seems unorthodox at times, he uses an array …

When people think about NFL quarterback Joey Harrington, he’s usually lumped in the large class of first-round busts. But, I think he gets more criticism than he deserves.
Harrington is a proto-type passer who actually has decent accuracy and is able to be a game manager in the right situation …

Al Harringto of the Golden State Warriors for me is one of the most agile big man there is in the league today. At six feet and ten inches tall, Harrington can bury the three point shot with no difficulty at all. He also has great versatility in driving …
