Peyton Manning is the best quarterback in the history of the National Football League in my humble opinion. But to be that good, you always need someone whom you can throw the ball to at all times. Joe Montana had it, Troy Aikman had it, Steve Young had it, …

The Tippmann Alpha Black Paintball Marker is one of the more common guns I’ve come across playing paintball. I own one myself, and have been extremely pleased with its performance. It’s rugged. It won’t break. I’ve seen the gun bashed on rocks, trees, shrubs, …

When it comes to physical skill, Culpepper has everything you want at quarterback. He’s got a strong arm, he’s the size of a linebacker and he’s able to scramble for yards.
However, throughout the years, he hasn’t seemed to grasp the mental side of the position.
I blame the fact he …

After seeing the Packers playing Saturday, I came to two conclusions. They need to add veteran offensive linemen and the defense needs experience.
Judging from that performance, in which they only put up 3 points, I think it’ll be another long football season for them. However, they are young guys …

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 …

When the Atlanta Falcons announced they had hired Mike Smith as their head coach, I was actually a bit surprised.
Normally, owner Arthur Blank looks to make a big splash by hiring someone he expects to turn the team around overnight. Smith isn’t going to be that guy.

Great for intermediate level players that aren’t ready for the big time sticks like the Flexpoint Prestige, Ncode 6.1 tour, etc., It’s a tad above the tweener rackets since it has more emphasis on control rather than the in-between game the tweeners offer. Used by many touring pros such …

Memphis Grizzlies Forward Mike Miller whome they acquired from the Orlando Magic for Drew Gooden is one of those versatile mid players that can almost do everything. Miller can especially shoot from the deep and this perhaps was the reason the Magic drafted him really high on the ‘02 …

Now that Mike McCarthy’s second season with the Packers is officially done and he’s set to sign a 5-year contract extension, it’s time to take a few minutes and grade his performance.
What he did well: To start, I think McCarthy did a heck of a job adjusting when the …

When I think of the Duke University Blue Devils I think of one name, J.J. Redick. And when I think of J.J. Redick, I think of four words, “Buckets and more buckets.” Okay, I think of three more too, “Nothing but net.” Redick is one of the most fantastically …

If you’ve ever heard anyone call the San Antonio Spurs point guard, Tony Parker lucky, please smack them on the head for me. To say he’s lucky is the biggest understatement of all time. In fact, the only way I can word it to make sense to me is …

Court General for the Orlando Magic, Jameer Nelson should be a valuable piece in the magic’s quest for the title in the years to come. With its young core of Dwight Howard and Darko Milicic in place, they should become the rising team in the East. Every marquee team …

Gordan Giricek who originally started his career with the Memphis Grizzlies after that said team drafted him into the NBA has fallen off of the graces of now Utah Coach Jerry Sloan. I expect Gordan to be traded any time soon when the team and coach Sloan asked him …

Since day one of enrolling in the Capoeira class, I have become hooked into this African-Brazilian fighting and survival tactic that mixes fighting, dance, and aerobics in one blood-pumping session. At first, I was a bit scared and insecure because from the what I saw on the floor, the …

Sacramento Kings forward Kenny Thomas who they acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers from that Chris Webber deal is an important factor on the kings success if he just plays more consistently. Always a double-double threat in the games that he plays in. Thomas is a gifted midrange shooter who …

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 …
