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 …

This is a boxing goldmine!
When reviewing Nahka-Sakke, rather of saying what they do, it would be easier to say what they do not. To put it simply Nahka-Sakke does it all.
They made hand made boxing and other equipment. For example heavy bags and wrestling dummies. No cheap imports but …

All these European players with their offense, offense, offense. Did anyone ever teach these guys that the ball bounces both ways? Apparently not. I was watching the playoffs last year where I witnessed the Russian born player, Andrei Kirilenko get dunked on by Baron Davis. Sure, Baron dunks on …

Every once in a while, you have an NFL star come along that has plenty of talent and potential but just can’t seem to stay healthy and, eventually, the team has no choice but to part with him.
Packers’ cornerback Will Blackmon seems to be just that type of …

Verona Hills is a beautiful and well maintained golf course located in the thumb of Michigan. Not something you would expect to find in the vast flat farmlands of the area, Verona Hills 18 hole championship course is indeed a pleasant novelty. It’s been there since 1924 and I often …

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 …

Former Denver Nuggets All-star Antonio Mcdyess who now dons the Detroit Pistons Jersey was one of those annointed as the next line of superstars that would carry the league for years to come. Unfortunately for Mcdyess, he injured his knee and was relegated to a lot of rehabilitation and …

He’s on billboards, he’s in commercials, I even think he’s got his own line of energy drinks; his own shoes and his own production company and will probably own his own continent one day… it’s the ever-popular, King of all things basketball, LeBron James. Out of St. Vincent - …

Drafted first over-all draft pick by the Washington Wizards in the ‘02 class, Brown has never made up to the reputatation and the expectations that was bestowed on him. At seven feet tall and with the necessary tools and talents to be a great player in the league. Every …

Fayetteville State is probably not well known for producing hordes of NBA talent. The NCAA mens basketball team did however produce a great prospect around thirteeen years ago. Darrell Armstrong, the six foot one inch point guard, is best known for his few years of greatness with the Orlando …

The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.
One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …

Brandon Bass of the Dallas Mavericks totally caught me off guard this year. I didn’t even know who this guy was and there he goes playing every game of the year and averaging a respectable seven points and five rebounds a game. This is quite impressive for someone not …

Lately I’m beginning to have a real problem with NASCAR fans who love and support Dale Earnhardt Junior. It isn’t all the fans of course, but a large portion of them anyway. I understand supporting your favorite driver and sticking by him for the duration, but there is such …

Some sports are hard to enjoy over television, and in my opinion, cross country events are in that category. The Men’s 15km Individual for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics featured competitors from 50 nations. There were actually 96 skiers. It’s a timed race, with 15 seconds …

Although I don’t understand golf or golf technology, I was given very clear instructions about a gift my husband wanted to receive for Christmas this year. In my shopping around to find what he required, I learned a lot about the wedge club that I bought for him, a …

The Charlotte Bobcats confuse me, where they the Charlotte Hornetts once? I don’t really know. I can’t keep up with the way basketball is moving. Now the Hornetts are the New Orleans Hornetts and Baron Davis plays for Golden State. The only thing I know for sure about the …

I love riding on our Mongoose Pro mountain bike. Well, it’s actually my husband’s bike so I just borrow it when I want to use it. I think he bought it for about $500. But he bought it in the Philippines so I guess it will be cheaper in …

Glen “little Shaq” Davis of the Boston Celtics had an amazing collegiate career with LSU. He was nationally known when LSU made a run that ended in the final four. Davis was a key contributor for that team and for that drive for the championship.
This last year’s Rookie …

I like this guy Stephen Graham of the Indiana Pacers for the very little playing time that he has gotten so far. When he is in the game he makes a bit of a difference with his ability to get into the lane and be aggressive. What i …

A few months ago, I took the time to look at the Chicago Bears and said I felt they weren’t as good as they looked on paper. I think, looking at them roughly half way through the season, I was right about that.
During the off season, the Bears took …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad. A true desire to make his mark saw him play with real …

Steve Francis formerly known as “The Franchise” for the Houston Rockets signed with the team this summer for a second try with the Rockets. After being dealt to Orlando Magic for that Tracy McGrady Trade, Francis comes back to Houston playing a different role. He was once the vital …

In my last badminton doubles match, I played using a Yonex Armortec 30 racquet. When I bought this racquet, it was highly recommended by the salesman at Toby’s which he said far better than the Yonex Armortec 150.
I think the Yonex Armortec 30 racquet is good for intermediate and …

The General Manager of the Orlando Magic Otis Smith has done an admirable job in transforming the Magic this year. From a team having trouble of even making the play-offs last year and being swept in the first round against the Pistons to a title contender this year.
The trades …

The Packers had high hopes for Robert Ferguson when they drafted him in the second round a few years ago but all he’s done is been a disappointment.
He has the talent to be a starter in the NFL but, for some reason, he has never lived up to his …

I’m an avid skier and I know how important it is to have comfortable ski boots that fit well and provide good ankle support. I had to get rid of my old boots because they didn’t fit right and I came to purchase the Salomon Impact 7 ski …

Damon Jones of the cleveland cavaliers was highly disappointing playing in his first season for the cavs after being signed to a multi year deal following a great season with the Miami heat. He was pivotal with the Heat’s run during the play-offs and was really an integral part …

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 …

Upon purchasing my first penny skateboard I was stoked! I had never owned one personally but pretty much was born on a skateboard so I had ridden some in the past from the small 22.5’s to the wider ones I believe to be called nickles which makes since when …

I have Amir Johnson of the Detroit Pistons as a player that has a tremendous upside in this league. He has all of the necessary tools and physical attributes to be a dominant player someday. Although still quite young, Johnson has made some strides in his game. After a …

The Luverne Country Club about 40 miles south of Montgomery, Alabama is not the most prestigious golf club you will ever visit, but it is definitely one of the friendliest. I have played at Luverne every summer for the past 9 years and feel as though I am one …

I love my Beval Butet Close Contact saddle. It is, by far, the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever ridden in. Beval makes several outstanding saddles, but the Butet is my favorite. It’s no lie that the Butet’s leather is as soft as butter. Even brand new, this saddle came …

During his prime, Kurt Warner was as good as any quarterback in the NFL. But, looking at him now, I don’t think he’s ever going to be confused with a hall of famer either.
Warner hit it big a few years ago because he was in the right situation at …

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 …

I don’t recall ever watching the Team Sprint competition before but I have to say that it was definitely exciting to watch the Men’s Team Sprint during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. What I like about this snow event is that it’s a fast competition and we …

I golf rarely and poorly, so I do not spend money on my golf equipment often. My clubs and bag were purchased second-hand, and the only purchases I have ever made were a hybrid, shoes and golf balls. I do not enjoy the game enough to spend a lot …

With the Green Bay Packers struggling to find a running game, I’m a bit surprised at this point in the season that they haven’t given running back Ryan Grant an opportunity to get more playing time.
A solid special teams player, Grant has had very few carries with the offense; …

Paintball is a rather expensive sport, which causes even the most recent players to stop playing eventually, because they really just can’t afford to play all the time. In fact, your average paintball player only plays actively for about a year.
This is why most players tend to get …

The Utah Jazz drafted unknown Rookie Morris Almond in this years NBA draft selection last June. As i understand, it was coach Jerry Sloan who requested to have Almond on the team as he previously saw this guy in action in a pick-up game and was deeply interested.
So …

Quinton Ross of the Los Angeles Clippers who is entering his fourth season in the league with the team that drafted him has shown very little progress in the four years that he has been in the league. Two seasons ago and even last year, Ross was a key …

Two years ago, the Chicago Bears were the team to beat in the NFC and were good enough to win a Super Bowl (though they ended up losing it).
This year, I really can’t see this team being anything more than a bottom feeder in the NFL.
I don’t even know …

The Miami Dolphins today named Joey Harrington their starter over former starter Dante Culpepper. I agree with this decision.
Harrington really hasn’t done much throughout his career to earn a starting spot. However, Culpepper has looked downright awful during the first part of the season.
First, he doesn’t seem to have …

I was lucky enough to have a really great seat for the Car Quest Auto Parts 300 Nationwide NASCAR race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on May 24, 2008 in Concord, North Carolina. My best friend and I picked up two tickets to the race just a few weeks before …

Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs has produced big time numbers this season for them. When Duncan was out early in the season i was amazed to see the scorebox and notice that Bonner had 37 minutes in the game with 27 points, 17 rebounds and six assist. …

When safety Sean Taylor was murdered and quarterback Jason Campbell was injured a short time later, I figured the Redskins season was pretty much over with. However, something happened. They started playing like a team determined to do something great and overcoming a lot of obstacles.
The Redskins enter the …

I am looking for a putter to compliment my all Nike set so I naturally started to look at the few Nike putters that were available at Golfsmith and came across this one.
The Nike IC 20-10A putter is Nike’s blade putter with no insert. It is their attempt to …

Akeem The African Dream as he was known, was a wrestler most famous in the 80’s and 90’s as both Akeem and One Man Gang. I was never a fan of his, and personally found him to be obnoxious and a waste of television time. However, he was well …

The Detroit Pistons lost a valuable cog to its championship roster. Ben Wallace’s decision to move to Chicago broke the teams chemistry, But by all means this does not constitute a Broken team. With it’s other starters retained, the Pistons are still in contention for that annual O’Brien Cup. …

The Kentucky Wildcats have a tradition of winning in the NCAA mens division 1 basketball circuit that is second to none. They have produced some very fine talent for the National Basketball Association and continue to do so. One of these players to come out eleven years ago was …

Rodney Carney of the Philadelphia 76ers has stagnated his growth in the league so far this season. I was ready to think that he would be an improved player this year with the 76ers not having that true legitimate go to guy anymore with the demise of Allen Iverson …
