Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …

Koren Robinson is an NFL player with a lot of talent who basically ruined his career by letting demons take over.
Playing for the Packers this year, I saw how Robinson can help a team both by returning kicks and providing them with a dependable deep threat receiver. However, throughout …

I recently learned quarterback Aaron Brooks was in Green Bay trying out for the Packers. I haven�t decided if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Brooks has the potential to be a good quarterback. He has a strong arm and the ability to move around in the …

At the start of the year, I was certain this would be Coach Jon Gruden’s last year in Tampa Bay. He had an aging team and seemed desperate to find a starting quarterback; signing both Jeff Garcia and trading a draft pick to get retired quarterback Jake Plummer (who …

For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …

Eddy Curry is an intriguing talent and some sort of a tease to his coaching staff. He has the body, the size and strength to be a dominant force in the League but has so far been limited to mediocre at best. He has a decent turn-around shot from …

Now that the season is officially over for the Green Bay Packers this year and they’ve missed the playoffs with a 6-10 record, I figured I would take a few minutes to review their season and their team.
Entering the season, I definitely believed the Packers were a much better …

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 …

S-jax is one of the most dynamic personalities in the NBA both on and off the court. With several felony charges in his belt, Jackson also takes a lot of charges in the basketball court as well. He is in charge of resurrecting this Warriors franchise whom before last …

Mike Wilks is a very well traveled point guard in the NBA and his current stop is with the Washington Wizards. I vividly remember him having stops at Toronto, Boston and the Sixers to name a few.
Don’t get me wrong or anything, Mike Wilks is a talented player to …

Quentin Richardson of the New York Knicks is one of the most boastful players in the NBA. I know he is well known for being the Boyfriend of R&B singer Brandy but in the NBA world, Richardson has declined from being a starter to a bench player. Don’t get …

The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …

The first over all selection of that legendary ‘03 draft was Lebron James from Akron OH. Even at a young age James was already gifted with excellent physical attributes that would make him a prodigy in basketball. And since he came to the NBA his been nothing but greatness.
Lebron’s …

Former National collegiate champion member of the North Carolina Tar Heels Brenadan Haywood is valuable to the Washington wizards if not for his size alone. He is a pure seven footer that has a big body and uses it to control the paint. Haywood has limited skills offensively. He …

Kris Humphries first played in the NBA for the Orlando Magic. He was a very limited player back then that runs like a dang giraffe. He was slow, stiff and seems to lack the abilities to last in the league. Surprisingly after being dealt to the Toronto Raptors he …

Pat garrity is one of those players that are labeled soft just coz his white. But, soft or not. One thing nobody in the NBA can deny is the fact that he can shoot the ball from deep with the best of them. at 6′11″ and coming from Notre …

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 …

The Starting Center spot position of the Boston Celtics belongs to Kendrick Perkins. Just three years off of high school and showing some great promise on the defensive end. This behemoth seven feet center contributes minimally on the celtics offense.
He is used primarily on Screen and roll plays …

I consider Justin Henin-hardeine as the Roger Federer of womens tennis. Although not as dominant as Federer is in the Mens division, Henin is the standard at which woman tennis players are to beat. Her game has evolved after returning from that injury she suffered two years ago. Her …

If you are a female skier who wishes to break the cycle of “gear promiscuity”, Dynastar’s Exclusive Legend might be the ski that inspires fidelity. In appearance, it’s as elegant as a medieval sword. However, it carves like a butter knife.
If you think that the Dynastar …

They will be a lottery team and will be at the bottom of the best division in the league. Looking at their line-up, I’m at a loss as to how they perform so bad with the team that they have. Starting Forward is Pau Gasol who a few years …

During his time spent with the NCAA mens college basketball divison 1 team, the Duke Blue Devils, Chris Duhon was the yin to Luol Deng’s yang. The duo wowed fans and made believers out of critics. It’s a given that the Blue Devils will always have talent. There’s something …

Allen Iverson, from way of the Georgetown Hoyas, has been given a lot of colorful names over his eleven year career. The Answer, The Truth, The Problem, The Pill, The Poison. And now with his trip out to the west coast in signing with the Denver Nuggets, he seems …

Now in all my football following exploits I have never ever come across a more under-rated player than Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and it really baffles me how the world keeps on misjudging the quality that is in Samuel Eto’s boots.
In my personal view, it is players such as Samuel …

Indiana Pacers General Manager and Former NBA MVP and a Legend Larry Bird has done an inspiring job with the Pacers. Although they are struggling to make the play-offs the last couple of years, the Indiana Pacers have stayed competitive and has given their opponents a run for their …

Earlier this year I upgraded to the REI Mars 80 Backpack. I needed a larger backpack that could hold more when I want to go on trips for longer than a week.
As soon as I put this pack on, I liked three things that are available on this …

We like to travel and whenever we travel we like to be able to get in a sporting event from the city that we are visiting. We were in Phoenix and got tickets to the Arizonia Diamondback game at Chase Stadium.
This was a stadium that I …

An original pick for the Detroit Pistons, Jason Maxiel has turned into a reliable big man off the bench for Flip Saunders and Pistons. He comes into the game and immediately affects the game. He can score on a number of ways in and around the basket area. He …

The Houston Rockets for me the best duo in Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. They are both tough offensive players who are very hard to stop. Now with the addition of Steve Francis and the development of Bonzi Wells in Rick Adelman’s offense, they should be a dominant factor …

If you’ve been watching NBA games in the past decade or so, then you probably know Bill Walton’s voice. I know, it is kind of annoying after about three words. But apart from being that pretentious, rhetoric spraying sports accouncer, he is also a few more things. He is …

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. …

Bobby Simmons has been nothing but a failure for the Milwaukee Bucks since he signed that 6 year $57 million contract that he got from them. It was a disappointing signing for the Milwaukee Bucks as Simmons has been plagued with injuries, inconsistent plays and poor showings when his …

After a controversial signing with the Utah Jazz from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Carlos Boozer has settled down and will probably be an all-star this year. He is a monster inside the paint. He scores on all angles. He can play with his back to the basket. He can shoot …

Antoine Walker of the Minnesota Timberwolves was acquired through a late start of the season trade with the Miami Heat in exchange for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount. The Wolves also acquired Center Michael Doleac in that deal. Walker has had a great career in the league so far. …

After a couple years of playing disc golf, I decided that I really wanted to develop my overhand and sidearm game. Luckily, there is one disc by Innova that fits both of those niches quite nicely. The disc I’m talking about is the Firebird.
This disc …

The best surprise of the season for the Philadelphia 76ers so far. Louis Williams has made himself into possibly a starter for the next season. Williams was a player who came out of high school straight into the NBA two seasons ago. He received little playing time that year …

With Randy Moss on the roster, it wasn’t as if Minnesota needed another potentially explosive receiver, but they drafted one in Burleson. Last season, the ‘02 NCAA receptions leader started nine games and piled up the fifth-most receiving yards ever by a Vikings rookie. “Nate just gets better,” the …

The Dallas Mavericks is another team in that Southwest Division that will be a key player in the play-offs this year. Boasting a line-up that includes reigning NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki. They also have the very versatile Josh Howard, Lightning quick guard in Devin Harris, two guard Jason Terry …

The “big Z” Zydraunas Ilguaskus of the Cleveland Cavaliers came into the league from lithuania and had really high expectations surrounding him. He is a seven foot three inch center who is very versatile and has a lot of moves in the pivot for chances of scoring. Although slightly …

Scotty 2 Hotty is best known for his tenure spent with the legendary and iconic World Wrestling Entertainment as both a singles competitor in the light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions and as a tag team and faction wrestler as a main part of the “Too Cool” faction with former …

This game can hardly be touted as the 2nd best bowl games of the year.
Michigan and USC is the BCS game I wanted to see, but Ohio State is #1 for sure and Florida isn’t my team by far and I don’t enjoy watching them this year.
2007 Rose Bowl …

In my personal opinion, the strength of the Uefa Champions League is fuelled by the advantage of big European clubs pioneering in buying all the best players from all over the world, which has built up into a history of such clubs making their marks early as powerhouses of …

Darrel Armstrong is one of the very few players in the NBA that i have tremendous respect for. He is a class act off the court. He often contributes in charity events and fund raising benefits that would help the less fortunate people out there.
It was rumored that Armstrong …

CNNSI’s NBA basketball coverage is exemplary. I watch and follow the NBA a lot. And everyday i log in to Sportsillustrated.com/basketball to check their live updated scores, they also have articles from their acclaimed writers about the different teams in the NBA and their players. What i love to …

The Philadelphia 76ers are attempting to build a new team completely from scratch. This is evidenced by their recent obsession with picking up only young players and competely ridding the team of anyone with experience. The trend continued last NBA draft with the Sixers selected the six foot eight …

I have to say, I don’t understand this whole NASCAR thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I can find a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to spend it sitting in front of a TV watching a bunch of cars running around in a circle.
I mean, …

Playing Everton at Goodison Park is never an easy game in the Premier League. The crowd is always behind the team, Everton always give 100% and run 100 miles to try and get a result, but they always seem to almost double their efforts when one of the top …

If there is one under-rated player in the PBA today, it has to be the Purefoods TJ Giant’s Richard Yee. For all I care, Yee deserved a spot in the rotation of Coach Ryan Gregorio. He is tall and athletic and can definitely provide quality minutes off the bench. …

My son has been attending this school for a few months now, and I really like it. The instructor is rather hard on the students, but not in any way that would be innapropriate for a child. He’ll flick their ears if they fail to cover them correctly, and …

Super Bowl XLIII is in a couple of days and I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to watch it (I might for the commercials). But, I can tell you one thing I definitely won’t be watching; the annual NFL Pro Bowl.
A few years ago, the Pro Bowl was …
