FootJoy StaCooler Women’s Golf Glove
I go through golf gloves at an extremely fast rate, usually about 2 every year. I find they wear out in the palm very quickly, and I also rarely find one that is also comfortable for an entire 19 holes. The last time I golfed with a friend of …
Sean Williams
Sean Williams was drafted by the New Jersey Nets despite having a bad record coming into the draft. He was hastily dismissed by his collegiate team when he did a conduct detrimental to the team. He was kicked off the team and had the remainder of his collegiate career …
Lamar Odom
Los Angeles Lakers Forward/Guard Lamar Odom is one of the more unique players in the league. Odom is listed at 6 feet 10 inches long and has arms that has so much length that it probably belonged to a 7 footer. But, what makes him a unique NBA player …
Matt Schaub
With Michael Vick seeming to be the franchise quarterback for the Atlanta Falcomes, backup quarterback, Matt Schaub never got a chance to strut his stuff in front of the world. Now with Vick in jail and the Falcons in desperate need of a quarterback, they mistakenly sent off their …
Florida Panthers - Bank Altantic Center
I was never much of a hockey fan growing up as a child or as an adult, until I met my husband. I never used to watch any sports other than wrestling and that got old for me as I grew up. So, the idea of me liking a …
NASCAR 2009 Gatorade Duels
To set the field for the annual Daytona 500, which is the official first race of every season, two short races are held. These are called the Gatorade Duels. The NASCAR 2009 Gatorade Duels were terrific races, each sixty laps, and each providing plenty of action.
My main …
Josh Boone
Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …

RollerBlad
RollerBlad, or in- line skating, is a very exciting sport. It gives you new ability, or I can better say, it helps you find your concealed abilities. You’ll learn to have a wonderful equilibrium on for in line wheels. You’ll learn how to fully concentrate and how to begin …
Devin Hester
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 …
Full Tilt Poker
If you watch a lot of television, and in particular pay attention to the online poker commercials that come on more and more frequently every day, you’ll doubtless have seen commercials for Full Tilt Poker.
Full Tilt seems to stake a lot of its success on using poker pros for …
Jamaal Tinsley
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 …
Mckenzie Town, Calgary, Alberta Skatepark
This is a small skatepark put up that is “temperary”. It is only there until the LRT tracks come, although this will not be for a couple of years, so skate away well you can.
The location of the park is nice. The next nearest skateparks in the south are …
Tony Allen
Tony Allen came into the league as a highly touted player from the collegiate ranks. He was often reviewed as someone who has crazy athletic abilities. And he also proved in the collegiate ranks that he does in fact posses those said abilities. He dominated the slam dunk competitions …
Eric Piatkowski
Erik Piatkowski started his career in a high note with the Los Angeles Clippers where he was a valuable player off the bench and even started some of the games mainly to the fact that he is a six feet and ten inch player who can stretch the defense …
Nike IC 20-10A Putter
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 …
Kendrick Perkins
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 …
NASCAR - yellow flag laps
I follow NASCAR pretty closely these days and have been the last few years. I watched it as a child, too, but left the sport behind into becoming hooked again circa 2005. The one thing that has bugged me, probably more than anything else, since that time …
NASCAR 2008 Cup Race- Chicago
This was the race that I’ve been waiting all season long to see. It had excitement and crashes along with an ending that you had to see to believe. When the race started, I was just excited to see how the drivers would handle themselves on the track in …
Ray Allen
Over a decade ago there was a player coming out of the the Connecticut Huskies NCAA mens basketball program who had all the buzz. Six foot five guard Ray Allen would prove that he had chops for both basketball and the silver screen. After being drafted in the first …
Kansas City Chiefs
The teams that fired their head coaches this year weren’t much of a shock. What was more of a shock is the fact the Kansas Chiefs didn�t make any changes, at very least at General manager.
Let�s face it, this team is terrible; even worse than their record indicates. They …
Oleksiv Pecherov
Oleksiv Pecherov of the Washington Wizards who is their version of a project has a great upside indeed. I really like the patience that they have shown with this player. Although i doubt that even your regular basketball fans will even know this player, in due time given the …
Amare Stoudemire
Amare Stoudemire is the big named talent from a small named school. The six foot ten inch center/power forward played his college ball in Cyprus Creek which is located in Orlando FLorida. The Phoenix Suns were happy to grab this tremendous talent up and quickly built their entire team …
2006 Green Bay Packers
Watching the Packers offseason moves this year, I’m thinking they are either going to be a playoff team or another 4-12 team. They have more raw talent than they’ve had in years but the players are young and are going to need time to develop.
Brett Favre’s return does help …
Wrestling Observer
Dave Meltzer’s The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON) is a phenomenal source of information for all things pro-wrestling and the recent issue that covered the entirety of the bizarre murder/suicide case of Chris and Nancy Benoit was nothing short of amazing. Within its pages, there was a depth of …
Michael Ruffin
Michael Ruffin of the Milwaukee Bucks is one of the most hardest working players in the league. His like this generations Popeye Jones.. Hehe.. Anyway, in terms of activity around the rim, i really like Michael Ruffin. his been around the league as well playing for contenders and pretenders …
Clinton Portis
When I think about running backs, I think of the elite guys and, a couple steps below them is Clinton Portis.
While he had a decent couple of years in Denver, Portis is not a running back teams can rely on to be a game changer. He’s had a couple …
2011 Omaha Limited Edition Baseball Bat
I just bought this bat approximately three weeks ago. I got this bat because one of my teammates had a 2010 Omaha and I loved the feel and pop of the bat. The bat is all black with silver font. I personally think the bat looks very nice. Most …
24 Hour Fitness Gym - Glendale Active
When there are SO many gyms in one area (including a higher level 24 Hour Fitness down the block!), it’s difficult to choose one. I chose this 24 Hour Fitness for two reasons. Firstly, my workout partner was a member of 24 Hour Fitness, and secondly, it …
Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Iron Set
I just tried out the Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Iron Set and they are fantastic!!
I hit a steel set composed of 3-9 iron, and pitching/sand/approach wedges.
These are some of the best feeling irons I have ever tried out. The way it comes off of the face is …
Stephen Jackson
One of the key figures in that infamous November brawl at the palace of auburn hills that greatly shamed not just the league but the players involved as well, Stephen Jackson is a very temperamental player who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He constantly blames and ridicules …
Hornets
After the tragic Hurricane Katrina that severely hit the New Orleans Area, the team was temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City and with the National effort made to renew and restore New Orleans, the team should be expected to get back playing in front of their home crowd next year. …
Ben Wallace
This was the biggest heartache of my sports following history. The trade that sent Grant Hill to the Orlando Magic for then considered nothing but garbage Ben wallace and Chucky Atkins. At that time it seemed like a no brainer for the Magic to make the deal. But alas, …
Carmelo Anthony
The same year the LeBron James was coming out of high school to take the NBA by storm, he had some pretty stiff competition. Syracuse super star, Carmelo Anthony, was also poised to take the NBA head on. Though the two are completely different players, they’re basically the same …
Seattle Seahawks
Well, I guess I was wrong about the Seattle Seahawks this year. I thought they would be a legitimate playoff contender under new head coach Jim Mora but that’s obviously not the case.
Not that it is totally his fault. The team has suffered quite a few injuries to key …
Mike Holmgren
When I think about Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, I think of a guy who is a great motivator and a decent play caller; though he isn’t very creative.
Holmgren has a knack for developing quarterbacks. That’s why he’s managed to take two teams to the Super Bowl and win …
Steve Waugh
Steve Waugh is my all time favorite cricketer, this is probably the most impressive captain that Australian has ever produced as well. I like his aggressiveness and positive approach towards the game. He leads his side very well and motivated them thoroughly, apart from his brilliant captaincy, he was …
Nene Hilario
Nene Hilario of the Denver Nuggets has been a disappointment ever since he joined the Denver Nuggets. He was drafted quite high on the rookie draft since the Nuggets and pretty much everyone on the league expected him to be a star someday. Coming from Brazil, Nene has all …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Super-G
Julia Mancuso from the USA was the first to make the attempt down the hill for the Women’s Super-G event in the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver. This is the event where skiers don’t get to take any trial runs down the hill and only get to inspect …
Noah Herron
After watching Noah Herron in extensive action during the Packers game against the Rams, I am starting to understand what the coaches saw in him when they decided to keep him and cut Najeh Davenport.
Herron seems to be a solid one-cut runner who is capable of stepping up and …
Jacksonville Jaguars
Going into this season, I thought the Jacksonville Jaguars would have a chance at winning their division, the AFC South. But, they look like yet another division team that will watch as the Colts run away with the title.
Jack Del Rio is a great defensive coordinator but I’m not …
Rod Smith
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 …
2010 NASCAR Camping World 300 Nationwide race

Drew Gooden
Drew Gooden who came out of the Kansas Jayhawks program in the NCAA has been a consistent player for the Cavaliers. He was an integral part of that run they made last year that eventually netted them the eastern conference champions.
Gooden seems unorthodox at times, he uses an array …
Minnesota Vikings 2008 recap
Well, I’ll admit it, when the Minnesota Vikings started out their season, I never thought they would be the team to claim the competitive NFC North title. I thought the Packers would do it and, if not them, the Chicago Bears.
I’ll give them my congratulations but, even though the …
North Korea football team
Of all the teams which are competing at the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the one which I am most intrigued by is North Korea - or “Korea DPR” as their management team insists everybody should refer to them. Of course, at least part of their attraction is in the …
San Francisco 49ers
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 …
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars enter this year�s playoffs as the #5 seed in the AFC. The reality is, if they played in the AFC North or AFC West, they would easily be the #3 seed behind the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.
The Jaguars are in the playoffs simply because …
Slazenger Tennis balls
Tennis balls from wimbledon come’s from slazenger. This are perfect for the grass court as they tend to be high bouncing. thus, contradicting the low bounce of a grass court. Slazenger is also softier not like Penn which is quite stiff. Using it the first time, resulting on mishits …
