Tim Duncan probably is the NBA’s best player when healthy right now. He impacts the game in so many ways that he often contributes in the smallest of ways often unknown to himself. He creates open lanes for his teammates especially Tony Parker that leads to uncontested baskets in …

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 …

For me Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons is the best mid range jumper in the game today. He has great accuracy on those jumpers which he launches in a variety of ways. He often comes off of screen and rolls to get the open shots. Or cuts to …

I used the Prince More Control tennis racket last year before changing to the Babolat Aero Tour racket. At first i was more impressed with its cosmetics. it has a two toned color(black and white) that produces an effect of having two faces. I expected this to have an …

Hulk Hogan is my personal favorite wrestler of all time. Nobody can ever compare to the immovable and immortal force that is HULKAMANIA. Possibly the most recognized professional wrestler of all time, he has been a house hold name since the mid 80�s, and still today is a house …

Amazing point Guard Reymond Felton is, that’s my constant thought when i watch a Charlotte Bobcats game on tv. I really love his game. He is so tough to defend as he gets into the lane and can finish off both hands and score or pass to open scorers. …

When it comes to NFL running backs, you have those who go on to have Hall of Fame careers, those who either get hurt or just don’t have the talent to last more than a couple of seasons and then you have guys like Travis Henry, who could be …

Now that Tony Sparano has been named Miami Dolphins’ head coach, I have to question the decision a bit.
Not that Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s doing when he hired his former assistant coach, it’s just Sparano might be a bit overrated because he really hasn’t accomplished a whole …

Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a fan of Lebron James. He is a good ball player but there are better athletes in the NBA. I am not known to stick up for anything that Lebron does, but I do need to review on his actions …

Rather as I had feared, the 2010 World Cup Final proved to be a pretty disappointing affair, which will probably end up being remembered more for the enormous number of niggling fouls and yellow cards (fourteen, including two - and therefore a red - to one player) than for …

Jose Calderon of the Toronto Raptors who backs up TJ Ford for them has slowly evolved into a starting point guard type of a player. At times, late in some of the Raptors games. Coach Sam Mitchell prefers to have Calderon in the game rather than Ford and in …

When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …

It’s really hard to come up with the words to describe New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. On one hand, he’s a heck of a coach. He’s 3-1 in the Super Bowl, has turned the Patriots into an annual contender for the NFL title and, quite simply put, could …

My wife decided to buy a Marcy Exercise Bike a few years ago, as a way of getting into shape. Like most pieces of gym equipment she has purchased, it ended up in a corner of our house and was used more as a coat rack than anything else.
Well, …

Ever since Ted Thompson was hired as the Green Bay Packers general manager, there has been about half the Packers fans wanting him fired. They believe, as long as he’s in charge, the Packers will never win again.
I, however, believe he’s building this team for a successful future.
One of …

These are Nike’s newest fairway woods. They accompany the new driver that was released in the Victory Red family.

Here’s how I summarize the Carolina Panthers; they lost their starting quarterback for the season and their back up quarterbacks, including Vinnie Testaverde, who was signed a couple of weeks into the regular season, can’t seem to stay healthy. However, they are 4-4 and are still in the playoff …

Smith is an explosive receiver who will burn defensive backs that give him too much room to operate. He reached the end zone 22 times in the years from 97-99, and he also gained 1,000 yards for the third straight time in 1999. Smith also made it three consecutive …
