Halfway through their 2009 season, I feel this quote applies to the Detroit Lions who have only one win this season after being the first …

In 2004, one of the FA Cup semi-finals was worthy of being the actual final due to the size of both clubs involved, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Manchester United had dominated the 90’s which as a fan was excellent for me, but Arsenal had often been a main rival as …

Greg is an okay receiver that can catch passes if you want him to. He is out of Stanford where he wasn’t their best wide receiver, but he did do okay. Last year he didn’t even catch one pass but this year he might be able to catch one …

After a physical battle for the starting Center spot for the Washington Wizards, Brendon Haywood has won the spot over Etan Thomas due to several factors. First of all is the fact that Haywood is much bigger than Ethan Thomas as he is at seven feet tall. Secondly, the …

This man has been coaching the Utah Jazz since I was eight years old. I’m twenty-seven now, about to turn twenty-eight, and my entire life as a basketball fan has been spent seeing Jerry Sloan on the Jazz’s sidelines. It’s amazing how long he has been coaching the same …

The Lions have made some significant changes over the past couple of months ranging from a new coaching staff to efforts …

With the first pick in the NFl draft last year, the Oakland Raiders selected Jamarcus Russel, a quarterback out of LSU. Being a Raiders fan I’m estatic about this pick and I’m sure that Russell will not disappoint. However, it wasn’t looking very good for Russell in the few …

The Detroit Lions went 0-16 last season and were considered the poster child for terrible franchises. I think that isn’t correct at all. I think the poster child should be the Cleveland Browns.
Years ago, Cleveland lost the original Browns (now the Baltimore Ravens) and got them back as part …

As a die hard supporter of Orlando Pirates FC, one of the most exciting and tense games for me is the SOWETO derby match against our bitter rivals, Kaizer Chiefs.
The latest derby which was to take place on the 15th of November was an eagerly anticipated match for …

I first watched Shawn Michaels wrestle back in the early 90’s and I always knew that he would be a massive superstar. In wrestling it is easy to see some young stars will never be the face of the company, but with Shawn it was obvious that he would …

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 …

Rex staked his claim to a job in ‘03, when he became the first known Bears rookie signal-caller to win his first two starts. In fact, only Jim McMahon (in 1982) ever had won even his initial start. In his second game, Grossman threw a record-setting pass, as his …

When it comes to playing paintball, not all players are interested in playing indoors or even outdoors with tons of other people that they probably don’t know. I find it to be quite an advantage to be playing with people that you don’t know, because it gives you the …

It never fails, the second some team has a great season, everyone wants to rob them of their assistants. Sometimes this works out, other times, they end up flopping.
As much as I like Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, I think he’s going to be one of those guys …

The Cleveland Browns almost shocked their fans and the entire free world this season by coming one game within a playoff spot in the extremely talented AFC. The high scoring offense had many bright points which will no doubt carry over into next year. One of these gems in …

Can you imagine doing anything for sixteen years. The same job, day after day, month after month, year after year. It might drive some people crazy. It doesn’t have that effect on the Houston Rockets back up center, Dikembe Mutombo. He is an ageless wonder from the Georgetown Hoyas …

Between injuries, a transfer from the University of Virginia to Hofstra and some eligibility snafus, Arlen didn’t play too much college football. He did, however, geta big break by making it to a postseason all-star game, where he was the team MVP and impressed the Saint Louis Rams enough …

Francisco Garcia of the Sacramento Kings is a type of player that any team in the NBA could use. He is scrappy, he hustles for the ball and he can also defend in three positions. I really like this player coz he does all the dirty work for the …

A tough hitter, Terry led the Giants with five interceptions and 15 passes defensed in ‘89. He also registered 58 tackles to bring his seven year career total to 493. Terry was an ‘83 NFL All-Rookie as he came up with 70 tackles. Signed as Plan B free agent …

The women’s downhill of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was full of excitement. I was actually surprised, though, how many very nasty falls and crashes that there were. It was frightening, in fact.
One of the Switzerland skiers had such a nasty fall. She slid down …

As an avid Cardinals fan that is excited about the upcoming 2012 season, I would first like to look back at the previous season. It had so many ups and downs and ultimately ended in grand fashion. In mid-August it looked like they would be competing for third place …

Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets is a very small point guard for that team that they signed out of the D-league where he was having a career year with an average of 23.5 points a game, 5.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. This numbers are the very …

Tyrus Thomas who was the former third overall pick in the NBA draft has had a slow accent to his career. Although looking back in his collegiate days, I never really thought that he would become a Superstar in this league. His game lacks a little bit of physical …

If you thinking on enrolling your child in martial arts classes, stay away from Crossroads Martial Arts! This place is such a disaster I don’t even know where to begin. I guess the instructor would be a good place. This man could care less about teaching your kids martial …

Renaldo Balkman of the New York Knicks is one of the very few players in the Knicks line-up that the critical Knicks fans are proud about. He was drafted by Isiah Thomas when nobody else wanted to draft him. And i must admit that it is one of the …

Salim Stoudemire of the Atlanta Hawks is a very talented player with a great upside. If only he could get some minutes. With the collection of point guards that the Hawks have and the fact that they are way too more experienced than Salim is, he will probably see …

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 …

Ruvell Martin was one of those guys on the Green Bay Packers roster that you really don’t know a whole lot about until you see them play. And, now that he’s had some playing time, I think he’s going to develop into a solid receiver.
I don’t know if he’s …

I have been to Wolverhampton Races at Dunstall Park many times. It is an excellent day or night out. We love going to the races here at night especially when it is under the floodlights. We normally go with Steve parents as his dad is really …

Brad Johnson has been around the league for a long time and there’s a reason. He’s not someone who’s going to light up the field at quarterback and make highlight reels. But, he’s a solid quarterback who is very accurate and very careful with the ball.
Last year, he proved …

When I was young, I started to watch cricket matches. Those were the early years of Sachin Tendulkar. I instantly became his fan. Strangely, after more than fifteen years, I am still watching him play and to be honest I see cricket matches only due to the presence …

I only know a little bit of France. They had the hundred years war with England, they have good cheeses and wines, I think that’s where they make crepes, and they have two very good basketball players currently signed in America’s National Basketball Association. (two that I know of) …

With everything the Atlanta Falcons have been through these past two seasons, it is no wonder they went out and got a guy like Joe Horn. With Michael Vick, their supposed franchise quarterback in jail, the Falcons had to make due with what was available. The ownership for the …

The Atlanta Falcons are a hard team to judge. On paper, they could very well in be in the Super Bowl this year, considering they have a solid defense and one of the best running games in the league. However, it really comes down to the quarterback position.
Michael Vick …

The Atlanta Hawks are quickly making a name for themselves in the NBA. But not like you would think. The team is best known for their losing ways, and it seems to be continuing. One player hoping to stop this trend is six foot seven two guard from Arkansas, …

I read today that the Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Bills’ head coach Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator. I couldn’t think of a better movie.
