At the beginning of the year, I thought the 49ers would win the NFC West division. Half way through, it doesn’t look like that will happen. But, they are still improved over what they have been from the past couple years.
The move to Alex Smith at quarterback was a …

While soccer is my first love in terms of sporting codes, there is a very special place in my heart for cricket.
I really love cricket and as a South African I am relatively happy because my nation has a very good cricket squad.
With the exception of Australia, I think …

I’ve been taking the time to look at NFL teams around the league and give my opinion on each of them, based both on what I’ve seen and what I can expect from them next year. In my search, the team that just came up next is the Kansas …

My local basketball hero is non-other than Alvin Patrimonio, the current manager of the Purefoods franchise, the only ballclub he played during his 16 illustrious career in basketball. Sixteen. That is also the jersey number he and I played. Only, his was retired.
Being a fan to him meant …

I really …

Michael Redd of the Milwaukee Bucks for me is one of the deadliest outside shooters in the league if not in the history. He has one of the prettiest form in that release of his that is fundamentally perfect for the shooting motion.
When he first came into the …

I love Kyle Busch, but I never joined his fan club before. I couldn’t get myself to pay any money that would possibly go to Hendrick Motorsports. When he switched to Joe Gibbs Racing I thought about joining the fan club and kept putting it off. Then I somehow …

Two years ago, the NBA draft produced some big names. Among these included was not a six foot two guard from the Texas Longhorns by the name of Daniel Gibson. Daniel may have taken this a little personally as he exploded last season as a rookie to give the …

Part of the things I dislike about golf is that when you live in a climate like the west coast of BC, you cannot expect a lot of non-rainy days, so if you are going to spend any time outside at all, you have to have the right rain …

The only time I have ever known A1 was from his run within Total Nonstop Action wrestling as a member of Coach Scott D’Amores ‘Team Canada’ Faction. He classed as a ‘Big man’ wrestler not for his height, but for his muscle mass being a former bodybuilder. While in …

This coming weekend, Vikings Quarterback Brooks Bollinger may get yet another chance to start in the NFL. But, like his previous times starting, it is more because of injuries than him actually earning a job.
Bollinger was a great quarterback for the Wisconsin Badgers. But, his game is better suited …

Once upon a time, Scott Pollard of the Boston Celtics was a primary contributor in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings. It wasn’t that long ago as well. He was an integral part of what the Kings where trying to do. He came off the bench and gave Vlade …

Guards in the NBA are making a comeback. When Shaq, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe were all in their prime, it was land of the big men. But now that the calender reads 2008, it’s out with the old, in with the new. This is true on almost every team …

Ranked in the top ten best leagues in the world, I think much of the basis for this ranking lies firmly on the amount of money flowing through the Absa Premiership, the sponsorships as well as the organization, but not the quality of football itself.
As a South African, soccer …

Ok, when people talk about Chicago Bears’ player Devin Hester, I will be the first to admit he’s pretty fast. After all, Madden Football gave him the first ever 100 speed rating.
But, I also think he’s very overrated.
The guy is dangerous as a kick returner. But, the fact he …

It is actually funny how Trenton Hassel ended up together with Juwan Howard for the Dallas Mavericks.

Paradise Poker is one of my favorite rooms to play, and I’ll tell you why…
First of all, Paradise Poker has extremely loose games; there are many rooms that share this feature, so it isn’t unique, but something particularly about Paradise Poker strikes me as particularly fun. I think it’s …

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to love those high school players. A lot never live up to their full potential, and on average you will probably only find one playing per every four teams in the league. But that’s not even close to the case in LA. The Lakers …

Everyone knows the Chicago Bears. Even if you’re not a fan of the National Football League, you have probably danced along with the “Super Bowl Shuffle.” I know I have. And most people know that the Bears had a horrible season this year after going to the Super Bowl …

The reason the Philadelphia 76ers are one of the worst team in the NBA right now is shown in the fact that their starting power forward is journeyman Reggie Evans. Don’t get me wrong, Evans is a serviceable big man in the league. The problem i have with him …
