DeShawn Wynn
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 …
Hendrick Race Shop
Hendrick Motorsports is the operational center for the NASCAR race team including both their Cup and Nationwide Series teams. They have several areas and buildings of their team open to the public and we recently had the chance to take the tour of their facilities. Though I’m not a …
Gregg Williams
I read today that the Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Bills’ head coach Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator. I couldn’t think of a better movie.
Williams is a true motivator. His defenses will do anything for him and that commitment should help Jacksonville get over the final hurdle toward winning …
Steve Nash
The Dallas Mavericks will forever be known as donkeys in my book. They had the greatest point guard in National Basketball League history and let him go. Not only did they let him go. But they let him go to a divisional rival in the Phoenix Suns. Since joining …
Thabo Sefolosha
The Bulls youth movement continues with Thabo Sefolosha. Highly drafted with little to no experience at all. He was an unknown player when he entered the draft in the year ‘04. But i was surprised when the Bulls drafted him early in the second round. He was a virtual …
Babolat Pure Drive GT racket
I have been playing tennis for most of my life, and have experienced a wide range of rackets, ranging from Wilson to Dunlop via Head and Yonex. I have developed a love story with Babolat of late however, after trying out some of their newest products. As a junior, …
Reymond Felton
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. …
Jason Richardson
Golden State Warriors two-guard Jason Richardson who won the slam dunk contest two years in a row is more than just dunking. His game has superstar potential written all over it. His great leaping ability is his main asset and in the slam dunk competition no one is better …
Larry Hughes
Larry Hughes was a former all star who signed with the Cavaliers to help and play second fiddle to Lebron James. He has excellent mid range jumper and can convert on three point shots as well. Larry can also finish his gliding drives with flair and has good speed …
Euro 2008
This year’s European Championship cup competition bore a lot of surprises for me as for the first time I really found out just how skillful the Dutch are.
I did have my predictions as to who would perform well and I had my chosen favorites who I thought would ultimately …
Nike Pro Women’s Training Bra
One of the things that I do in order to keep a good shape is going to the gym and engaging in various group exercises. One of the most enjoyable and fun activity is dancing. There are classes offered in the gym where I go to like combination of …
Jason Garrett
It never fails, the second some team has a great season, everyone wants to rob them of their assistants. Sometimes this works out, other times, they end up flopping.
As much as I like Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, I think he’s going to be one of those guys …
Gary Stills
A standout special teams performer, Stills was added to the AFC Pro Bowl squad as a replacement for Adalius Thomas after tallying 29 special teams tackles in 2003, second only to his club-record 34 in 2002. The defensive end also chipped in three sacks for the Chiefs. Stills is …
Josh Powell
Josh Powell of the Los Angeles Clippers was originally drafted by the Dallas Mavericks. He was signed by the Clippers as an active body in and around the basket due to all the injuries that the team has experienced so far. Out are Elton Brand, Paul Davis, Tim Thomas, …
Koren Robinson
After he was suspended for one year for a drinking problem, a lot of people were quick to write off Koren Robinson. And, those same people criticized Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson for signing him.
However, if his performance in his first game back from suspension is any …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Men’s Snowboard Cross race
After a boring round of qualifying, the Men’s Snowboard Cross semi-finals and finals race were actually exciting. Now this could capture a person’s interest.
For the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, there had been 34 competitors originally. Four never made it out of the boring individual qualifying. After …
Javon Walker
A couple of years ago, Javon Walker wanted to be paid like one of the best wide receivers in the league. The Green Bay Packers said no and, a year later, he forced them to trade him.
The Denver Broncos bit and paid him the money he was seeking only …
Dwight Howard
The Orlando Magic’s franchise got the wishes when they won the ‘02 NBA draft. They selected Dwight David Howard out of South Christian academy in Atlanta. Howard in my humble opinion will eventually blossom into those rare breed of NBA players that are labeled as ” Franchise Changing” players. …
Ronaldo De Lima Brazilian Soccer Star Striker
With the peak of my interest in football entering its nova phase in the late nineties, one my international footballing heroes would unsurprisingly be Ronaldo De Lima, given his popularity at the time and his epic rise to stardom.
At the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France is the …
West Germany v Argentina - 1990 World Cup Final
In 1990, I may only have been 8, but I was a big football fan and it was the world cup. I was amazed by this competition mainly because I thought that anything that allowed there to be so many games of football per day and per week was …
Innova Monarch Disc
I have been playing disc golf for a few years now, and I’ve thrown a fair variety of discs. I originally picked up the Innova Monarch when I was still somewhat new to the game, thinking it would be a great disc for turn over shots between one …
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods is my favorite golfer of all time. I don�t typically watch golf but Tiger Woods is the type of person that if you watch him for a few minutes he will inspire anyone. He is a shining example that anyone can achieve the American Dream with some …
Eldora Speedway
I’ve been lucky enough to attend races at the Eldora Speedway a number of times over the years. Growing up in a family that loved the local tracks, we often visited a few of the local tracks. However a recent trip to the Speedway had me wishing that there …
Roger Federer
There is no other tennis athlete out there more enjoyable to watch than Roger Federer, if not ever. The smooth strokes like an artist at work, the effortless footwork and the style of play all fit together and for the past 6 years or so, this individual has dominated …
Jacque Vaughn
Jacque Vaughn who is the back-up point guard for the San Antonio Spurs to the starter Tony Parker. Vaughn is a respectable back up for any team to have. He has great leadership abilities and can sustain an offense for limited stretches of time. His style of play is …
Alan Hansen Football Column - BBC Website
Alan Hansen is not everyone’s cup of tea, but he remains one of the main pundits on BBC’s Match of The Day and he also writes for the BBC sport website. Some might think that he is not especially entertaining on the telly, so reading what he has to …
Chelsea Football Club
I was introduced to Chelsea Football Club as one of the bigger teams of the English Premier League, as one of the traditional, so called —˜Big Four’, with Leeds United not lagging too far behind Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, in no particular order.
I only recently started looking …
Can the gunners gun down their opponents
With the english premier league starting today-the 19 of august all eyes will be on the four major teams Chelsea, Manchester united, Liverpool and ARSENAL. As you can see i am an arsenal fan but even so i think arsenal are in deep water even before the premiership starts.they …
Lane Kiffin
When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …
Jarrett Bush
When the Packers named Jarrett Bush their Nickel Back, I had some serious concerns about the position. And, through the first few games of the 2007 season, I had plenty of reason to doubt he was the right guy for the job.
But, as he�s gotten more experience, I have …
NASCAR - harder than it looks
There are some folks who wonder what’s so hard about driving a car around a track all day. All I can say is, try it, and you’ll find out. Stock car drivers are in those vehicles for hours at a time, without breaks, and oftentimes, the temperature …
Andres Nocioni
Andres Nocioni who came as an import from Argentina shows a lot of promise on the latter part of last season. And thus far, he has shown improvement and consistency on his shooting. Which in my opinion was his weakest point early on in his career. He now consistently …
JR Smith
The Denver Nuggets volatile guard JR Smith entered the league with a huge potential. And even I myself joined that bandwagon that proclaimed him as probably the next coming of the great one. He came to the New Orleans Hornets as a highly touted player out of high school. …
Norv Turner
Fomer Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Norv Turner was always a considered a coach that couldn’t win if he were in the top spot. He’s had top coaching jobs and the Washington Redskins and also at the Oakland Raiders. He has failed miserably to put together a winning team anywhere …
Spygate
When the topic of Spygate first came out in the media, I was interested. Like most people, I’ve grown bored with the New England Patriots and their winning ways so any scandal to bring them back down to Earth was a welcome one.
But, it’s been months now and, quite …
Chuck Hayes
Chuck Hayes who currently starts at the power forward position for the Houston Rockets is a rugged type of a player that bruises up his opponents. He is really good at roughing it up in the shaded lane which is a contrast to what starting Center Yao Ming does …
Carson Palmer
The Bengals haven’t had much success drafting quarterbacks in the past but I think they finally found their future in quarterback Carson Palmer.
Barring injury, Palmer may be the key to the Bengals returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1980s. Even though he’s only been …
Byron Leftwich
Quarterback Byron Leftwich got his first start with the Atlanta Falcons this past weekend and didn�t even finish the game before he got hurt. That, in my opinion, paints a clear picture about why he won�t be a successful NFL quarterback.
Leftwich has the physical tools to play the game. …
Brevin Knight
Brevin Knight was signed by the Clippers to replace the injured Shaun Livingston who suffered possibly a career ending injury last year. Knight is a good replacement for Livingston since he facilitates the offense better and is more of a veteran presence than Shaun. With Cassel starting at the …
Nazr Mohammed
Nazr Mohammed of the Detroit Pistons has been in four different teams in his career in the NBA before settling in with the Pistons. He is a seven foot specimen who has a great shot blocking ability. He can also rebound well and will give you some games where …
The Coca-Cola Park Stadium
This is another stadium which holds so much history for me, as the football team that I so avidly support has made use of this very stadium as a home ground for as many years as I can remember.
While many memories will eternally live on in me concerning the …
2009 Arizona Cardinals
OK, the Arizona Cardinals pulled off a couple major upsets this post season and will be competing for their first NFL Championship in 61 years at Super Bowl XLIII.
So, the question is, are they are good as they have been playing?
I have given you my opinion (a good one) …
Shawn Marion
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 …
Mike Woodson
The Atlanta Hawks have never been much of a threat in the NBA. And since 2005, they haven’t made much improvement on their push over status. The hiring of head coach Mike Woodson was supposed to signal the start of something different. But with his combined record of 69 …
Jason Kapono
Jason Kapono of the Toronto Raptors led the league in three point accuracy last year. He averaged a total of 50.1 percent field goal percentage from the three point arc and beyond while playing for the Miami Heat.
The Heat though decided to let him walk away for nothing …
David Carr
The recent decision by the Houston Texans to release quarterback David Carr will come back to haunt them in the future.
Even though Carr has not performed well since the team selected him first overall, most of his performance can be blamed on the lack of talent surrounding him on …
Justin Williams
Justin Williams of the Sacramento Kings who is entering his second season out of Illinois must start to show what he got in his game to stay in the league. He has so far struggled from his rookie season and just hasn’t gotten himself going. I like Williams in …

Blackjack Mulligan is one of the most recognized professional Wrestlers of all time, and is the heir and founder of the legendary ‘Windham’ Wrestling family which includes his famous son Barry Windham, and his less known son Kendall Windham who in his own right is a legend.
