In the Purefoods TJ Giant’s current line-up, there is no more exciting player to watch then Peter June Simon. He is, in my opinion, the most effective guard in the league today.
Simon is a testimony of hard-work, discipline and perseverance. In his early years as a professional basketball …

Another one of the influx of point guards that the Atlanta Hawks have collected is Speedy Claxton. First off, i would just like to comment on the current Hawks position. They do have a very good team. perhaps one of the best in the league in terms of potential …

A bold move by Arizona to draft and start two rookie wide receivers last season paid off not only in the emergence of NFL Rookie of the Year Anquan Boldin, but also in the development of Bryant Johnson, his running mate. Those two ended up first and third among …

I have to give the New York Giants credit; first they upset the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and then they managed to keep the man who is most likely responsible for that win.
I had never even heard the name Steve Spagnuolo before the NFL post season …

My personal experience of the High Performance Sports Development Centre is one of a supremely impressed sports person!
During my varsity days, very recently, I was playing football for one of the residential university house league teams, at the University of Pretoria, and during that time I had the privilege …

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 …

Robert Swift who is the consensus starter in the Center spot for the Seattle Supersonics is perhaps the most injured player in the NBA today. Many people will debate some cases for some players in the league as well but nevertheless, you can’t stop but think of the possibilities …

When I think about Jim Bates, I think of a guy who had the potential to be a great defensive coordinator but basically blew his chances because he�s a big cry baby.
Bates ran dominating defenses on the Miami Dolphins and, in his one year with the Green Bay Packers, …

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 …

When reviewing Michael Finley i put in the previous career numbers that his had playing for the Dallas Mavericks. So i rate him a respectable seven for those years where he was a terrific offensive force for that team and the league in general.
In his prime, i strongly regarded …

Melvin Ely who recently signed with the New Orleans Hornets after brief stints with the Seattle Supersonics and the Los Angeles Clippers has sort of like found a home with the Hornets. His services are pretty much needed here with the team lacking toughness inside to develop a tradition …

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, …

I go through approximately 2 golf gloves every year, even though I don’t play more than a dozen or so times per year. I guess I either cheap out when buying gloves, or as I suspect after seeing where the gloves wear out first, I grip my clubs far …

Whoa Nelly! The former coach of the Dallas Mavericks who was let go admist a finacial dispute has moved on and had a great little run with the surprising Golden State Warriors. The team, headed up on the floor by superstar Baron Davis, literally shocked the entire world last …

I found the perfect gift for my husband, an avid golfer, and he assures me that it is not only useful, but it has become integral to his golf game. I never go wrong with gifts that have something to do with golf, but I didn’t think he needed …

If you live in the Vancouver, BC area, or are visiting, and are a hockey fan, I highly recommend getting tickets for the Vancouver Giants, the WHL (Western Hockey League) team in the city. First of all, you will be overjoyed at the entertainment because this hockey is good, …

CJ Miles of the Utah Jazz has been in the league for over two years now as he is entering his 3rd season this year. The problem is the fact that he has not made any good strides for his career and is in danger of losing his roster …

If you are a fan of football, then watching Manchester United play Rangers in the European Champions League in the 2010/11 season has been no great spectacle. Manchester United were the huge favourites when on the way to Ibrox, but having watched Rangers defend for 90 minutes at old …

The starting two guard for the Washington Wizards, Deshawn Stevenson has slowly built up a reputation as a hard nosed defender in the league. Much like in the mold of a Bruce Bowen, although he has better offensive skills than that of Bowen. Stevenson is a lethal three point …

The Arca Series is considered a lead-in to getting into the big leagues of NASCAR racing. Many drivers jump from Arca to Nationwide or trucks and then to the Sprint Car series. This year, there is a lot of focus on this very first Arca race, primarily …

The New York Jets didn’t have much to offer their unruley, impatient fans this year. Their record ended up too embarrassing to even put in print, and they’re not even sure if they have a quarterback for next season. But their on again off again relationship with wide receiver …

The Men’s 30k Pursuit at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics proved to be quite the surprise. This event starts out with four laps of classic and then four laps freestyle skiing.
Through the classic style, it was amazing to see all four of Canada’s team in the lead pack. …

When the Eagles first signed Jeff Garcia as a back-up quarterback, my question was “why.”
After seeing him play filling in for Donovan McNaab Sunday, I still have the same question.
There is no way Garcia should be playing in the NFL, even as a backup. He no longer has the …

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. …

I have always loved attending matches at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria, especially football matches.
Situated in Pretoria, affectionately known as the “City of Champions”, this stadium holds so much history for me that the up and coming FIFA World Cupâ„¢ will be nothing but the “cherry on top”.
In …

I bought the Real Skateboard Kit for my son who has always wanted a skateboard. Buying this kit was a great choice. He loved it because not only has he always wanted his own skateboard, he loves to put things together and paint and make things. So this …

Both Lynds and I used to bowl in a Sunday morning league at the Bowlplex in Dudley in fact this is where we first met. The Bowlplex is on the new retail park just down from Dudley Zoo and Castle, the Bowlplex is located next down to the …

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 …

Every once in a while you’ll find a player coming out of high school and expecting to make the leap into the NBA. Though league commissioner, David Stern, has since set the age limit for acceptance into the NBA to nineteen years, it wasn’t always like that. And nine …

Tim Thomas who quit playing for the Knicks early on in his career has resurrected it and has found a home in LA with the clippers. Gifted with incredible range for an almost seven foot guy, Thomas is one of the most agile players i’ve ever seen in a …

Playing for my beloved Oakland Raiders for quite a few years now, Jerry Porter finally seems ready to take over as the go-to number one receiver on the team. He was a welcomed addition in the early 2000’s where he played third receiver to Jerry Rice and Tim Brown …

Damon Stoudamire of the Memphis Grizzlies is one of the most quickest point guards there was in the NBA. With age catching up with him though he has slowly declined and his contributions are lower than what they used to be. Still Stoudamire is a serviceable point guard at …

The die-hard fanaticism of the tens of thousands of Bloemfontein Celtic Football Club’s supporters, who have no problem filling any stadium anywhere in the country, is an ideal I strongly feel should be adopted by the entire South African football fraternity if South African football is to break new …

Owning the starting point guard duties for the Toronto Raptors is miniscule guard TJ Ford. After a tragic first season in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks when he had that accident that broke his neck and it almost ended his playing career. Ford resurrected his NBA playing career …

Eduardo Najera of the Denver Nuggets who hails from Mexico is one of the most hardest working players in the league today. He is one hell of a hustle player for them and plays with such energy that is infectious to the whole team. He does play a bit …

I was watching an NBA basketball game last year and all of the sudden I heard an earth shaking scream. It quickly caught my attention and i looked up to see this beast of a man hanging on the rim after dunking over top of someone. Luol Deng, the …

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada was the site of the 2010 Formula One Canadian Grand Prix race. This event was held after not holding the event in 2009. I actually enjoyed this race much more than most other F1 events, which normally bore me big …

Ronnie Brewer of the Utah Jazz is the leading most improved player in my opinion in the whole league so far this year. With the Jazz needing badly to have a shooting two guard which is the weakest spot they have in their roster, comes the emergence of Ronnie …

Reginald Delk is a 6-4, 175 pound Junior playing for the University of Louisville men’s college basketball team. He transferred from Mississippi State last year. His uncle is Tony Delk, who played at Kentucky under Coach Rick Pitino.
Pros: Delk was described as a great outside shooter …

Thanksgiving always means football, and this Thanksgiving weekend has been no exception. This Thanksgiving we got to see Texas A&M’s Maroon Out game, where they played longtime rivals University of Texas on their home turf at Kyle Field.
Unfortunately for us Aggie fans, the Aggies were outscored. However, …

Brodie Croyle was a great starting quarterback for the University of Alabama. Croyle was great throughout the entire season and helped his team along almost all by himself. Brodie’s teammates all looked up to him sort of as the team leader. If your looking for someone that can …

If he were a couple of inches taller, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith would be a definite first round draft pick. But, because of his height, he’ll likely be drafted in a later round. That’ll be a mistake for several NFL teams.
Smith has amazing accuracy when it comes to …

I am in the market for a new golf pull cart. I wanted something that was compact, folds easily, could be carried rather effortlessly, and works great.
I think I found it with the new 2010 Sun Mountain Micro Cart. This is the first push cart I have seen with …

Abdullah the Butcher is probably the coolest professional wrestler who ever lived. Even though he is now 70 years old, he continues to wrestle in Japan and on the independent scene in the United States. There were many people who copied the maniac gimmick of the �original� Sheik, but …

The squirrel tail worm is a straight finesse-style plastic worm. It comes in two sizes and about a dozen colors. The color selection of this particular bait should accommodate most water conditions. The bait was designed by shakey head fishing guru Jeff Kriet.
The bait has a normal …

As a very dedicated and passionate football player and follower, I really think my input on various issues surrounding football is very valuable and objective.
One of the current observations I have made of late, is that of the very special talent possessed by the Manchester United number 7 winger …

My team-by-team NFL review now has me in Pittsburgh taking a look at the Steelers. This is a team that is coming off a fantastic Super Bowl win last season and is looking to defend their title.
When the team decided to hire head coach Mike Tomlin, I thought it …

I am slowly taking a liking to Bobby Lashley over the past few weeks after witnessing a match between him and Chris Benoit in which he proved that he could work the mat, and that he could work a great and solid technical match. Although, this was against Benoit, …

Chicago Bulls starting point guard Kirk Hinrich from the University of Kansas has come a long way from the days when he started in the league. He has become a leader in a very young team that has unlimited potential in the future.
The Bulls have a number of …

The Detriot Lions are somewhat of a sad commentary in sports. Nothing they ever do seems to work out. Now this has been blamed on everyone from head coaches, quarterbacks, front office management to a fan in the parking lot of the stadium. One thing all of Detriot’s failures …
