Paul Davis
As earlier reported this week, Los Angeles Clippers Forward/Center Paul Davis will likely be out for the remainder of the season as he apparently suffered a rupture in his tendon which requires at least two months of rehabilitation to get into playing shape again.
This is bad news for the …
Tennis Racket babolat
The babolat aero tour tennis racket which combines the aero technology and the traditional power of babolat rackets is for me, the ultimate racket for creating head speed. To add more UMPH.. in your swing. I’ve used this since last year when i demoed one after purchasing a used …
Patrick O’Bryant
Patrick O’bryant is the Golden State Warriors version of a pet project. He is a good seven foot Center who certainly has an upside in this league. He has good hands, speed and power to be a good contributor someday but as of now, coach Don Nelson and the …
Jeff Webb
I look around the Kansas City Chiefs roster and I do not see much that resembles talent. The Chiefts have succeeded these past few years with a solid running attack. Now that that’s gone, I don’t see much they can do. With a receiving core that nobody has ever …
Alvin Patrimonio
My local basketball hero is non-other than Alvin Patrimonio, the current manager of the Purefoods franchise, the only ballclub he played during his 16 illustrious career in basketball. Sixteen. That is also the jersey number he and I played. Only, his was retired.
Being a fan to him meant …
Bill Belichick
Ever since 2001 I’ve had an intense hatred for the New England Patriots. I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, so I’m still terribly upset over Tom Brady’s fumble in the 2001 playoffs that cost the Raiders the game. Out of all the Patriots, none make me more …
Wembley Stadium
I am in a privileged position as I am able to compare the old stadium with the newly built ground which is what all modern stadium should be built like.
Having watched my first England game in 1996 just before the Euro 96 Championships in a friendly against Hungary …
Allen Iverson
Allen Iverson who was very popular in Philadelphia before being traded last year to the Denver Nuggets is probably the best at the fast paced game. Iverson though has been struggling with off the court issues throughout his career and has been much maligned for it.
On the court though, …
2007 Carolina Panthers
Here’s how I summarize the Carolina Panthers; they lost their starting quarterback for the season and their back up quarterbacks, including Vinnie Testaverde, who was signed a couple of weeks into the regular season, can’t seem to stay healthy. However, they are 4-4 and are still in the playoff …
Steven Hunter
Steven Hunter of the Denver Nuggets started his career with the Orlando Magic when the team drafted him out of Depaul in the second round of the 2000 Rookie draft. In the start of his career in Orlando i really did like his play there. He came off the …
Mike McCarthy
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 …
Wrestler: Allison Danger
Alison Danger is a new discovery for myself personally. Over here in the United Kingdom we have a channel called ‘TWC Fight!’ which showcases Professional Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts. On a British Wrestling show she fought a local British Wrestler and won, it was then announced that she …
Red Asics GT-2140
I bought these Asics about a year ago to prepare to run for the Boston Marathon. (I had already qualified for it earlier that year.) My old shoes looked the almost 1,000 miles that it had suffered through, and I saw that my wallet was almost depleted. I headed …
Steve Nash as a PG
Steve Nash the point guard of the Phoenix Suns and the reigning two time MVP of the league is undoubtably the best pure point guard around. Highly a pass first PG and scoring is only his second option. What separates Steve from other Guards around the league is the …
Bobby Petrino
A lot of people are talking about former Atlanta Falcon’s coach Bobby Petrino and how he left the team after just 13 games. Many are taking the time to call him a quitter and other names. I won’t. I will just reiterate what I said when he took the …
Preseason Bears versus 49ers
From what I saw of the Bears during their first pre-season game, I think you’re going to see another season where their defense will win them the division but their offense will keep them from going far in the playoffs.
Starter Rex Grossman and the first team offense did absolutely …
Joe Gibbs
Recently retired head coach of the Washington Redskins, Joe Gibbs, was one of the most popular figures in all of sports this past year. After dealing with the untimely death of one of his players, Gibbs lead the Redskins on a charge that would take them into the playoffs.
Returning …
Jorge Garbajosa
The Toronto Raptors have missed the services of Jorge Garbajosa. I totally blew this picks that i had with Jorge. He was a developing player last year for them and was starting to really contribute when their season ended. Since then Garbajosa broke his ankle and knees. He rested …
Innova Orc disc golf driver
When I first started playing disc golf, I went through a fair amount of drivers very quickly. Honestly, it was because I lost them faster than I care to remember. There was one driver that I managed to hang onto for a long time though. It …
England v France - Friendly November 2010
It was due to be Englands first major test since their awful World Cup campaign in South Africa. They had played a couple of qualifying games that had not been especially impressive, but now it was France at Wembley. No one really appeared too concerned in the build up. …
Al Horford
The Third overall pick in this years draft, Al Horford has challenged the formerly unanimous Rookie of the Year candidate Kevin Durant. He has averaged a solid 10.8 points a game and an outstanding 9.3 rebounds per that is really surprising to me since i never expected him to …
Eric Crouch
When the All American Football League made Eric Crouch the 3rd overall selection in their inaugural draft, I had to laugh. Obviously this league doesn’t know talent at all because, despite his college success, Crouch is not someone you want if you plan on selling tickets.
Here’s the facts, the …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Halfpipe Qualifying
Today I watched the qualifying for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Women’s Halfpipe competition, and it was very interesting.
One of the things that amazes me about this halfpipe competition is that the competitors are different from other athletes. They have a different preparation and the camaraderie and feel of …
Eddie Jordan
Eddie Jordan, not to be confused with Michael Jordan, is the coach of the very young and very talented Washington Wizards. Eddie is a hands on coach whose duties extend to off-court management of players to ensure they get the best mentoring possible to make them better men after …
Little Tikes Shoot and Slam Basketball Trainer
I recently bought the Little Tikes Shoot and Slam Basketball Trainer for my nephew’s birthday. The basketball trainer is basically a miniature basketball hoop that can be played with by kids ages three and up. The basketball hoop has five different heights that it can adjust to, ranging from …
Jeff Fisher
If you’ve watched professional football at all in the last decade, then you probably recognize the face of Tennessee Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher. Coach Fisher has been heading up this team long enough to compile a professional record of 105-93-0 and has the longest tenure current in the …
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 …
2006 Chicago Bears
If the Bears repeat as NFC North Champs this year it’ll be because they play in a weak division, not because of anything they did over the offseason.
The Bears defense is going to scare teams and I expect it to rank in the top 5 this year. However, they …
Jwagal Shrinath
Shrinath is one of the better Indian fast bowler. Recently he retired from International cricket before that he taken 300 wickets in both from cricket that is test and one days. Shrinath is very hard working person and he improve in his bowling drastically earlier he used to …
TENNIS RACKET: Ncode 6.1 tour
My brother uses this perenial installment of the legendary classic series of the “Pro Staff tour” rackets from the Pete Sampras Days of dominating the sport to the evolvement of this stick as used today by probably one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time Roger …
Juan Dixon
Former Maryland star Juan Dixon who now dons the Portland Trailblazers uniform is an explosive scorer who is quite capable of scoring in bunches even in NBA standards. He posses all the tools to be a dominant scorer in the league with his speed and quickness, his ability to …
Rudy Gay
In the NBA, the draft is designed to turn the worst teams into first teams. The worse you do in a season, the higher the pick potential is in the draft. And for a team like the Memphis Grizzlies who have been really bad for a really long time, …
Marcus Williams
Sadly for Marcus Williams he hasn’t played a game so far this year. Plagued with injuries since the opening game of the season. Williams has got nothing to do but wait for his injuries to heal and get his chance to play again for the New Jersey Nets. With …
Luke Jackson
The Miami Heat waived long time guard/forward in the NBA Penny Hardaway to open a roster spot in signing Luke Jackson. Jackson played in the NBDL and was highly regarded when he first came into the NBA. He was a former first round selection by the Cleveland Cavaliers and …
Warrick Dunn
Dunn is a shifty runner who possesses surprising ability to run beteen the tackles despite his small stature, at 5′9″ and 180 pounds. In 2003 the Falcons’ talented halfback tallied two 100-yard games. Dunn came over from Tampa Bay in 2002, and has had a great career so far …
Reggie Evans
The reason the Philadelphia 76ers are one of the worst team in the NBA right now is shown in the fact that their starting power forward is journeyman Reggie Evans. Don’t get me wrong, Evans is a serviceable big man in the league. The problem i have with him …
RipStick Skateboard
Boys would love reading about this skateboard from RipStick. The name says it all; Rip. Indeed it is. It is a blast skateboarding with this 2-wheeled skater board.
My younger brother has this purplish looking RipStick, and it certainly looks funny at first, as it’s very different …
Green Bay Packers (2008 recap)
Now that the season is officially over for the Green Bay Packers this year and they’ve missed the playoffs with a 6-10 record, I figured I would take a few minutes to review their season and their team.
Entering the season, I definitely believed the Packers were a much better …
2006 Detroit Lions
Over the past few years, the Detroit Lions have been a joke. Each year, they draft the next big star only to continue to be one of the worst teams in the league.
This year, I think they may surprise a few people.
The defense hasn’t improved much in terms of …
Damien Wilkins
There have been a few sports families in history of American sport. YOu have the Mannings with the NFL, the Bonds’ and Griffey’s with MLB and the Barry’s with the NBA. A little known basketball family around is the Wilkins’. The Wilkins family consists of brothers Gerald and Dominique …
The Challenge: Marquez vs. Casamayor
In the bout dubbed The Challenge, a bout between two counter-punchers in their mid thirties, one fought his age and the other lived to his name. It was Marquez’s first fight as a lightweight and he was a little shaky at the get-go. Being in the lightweight division for …
Renzetti Traveler fly tying vice
First things first, I own this vise and use it every day. Something else you should know is that I have been tying flies since 1969. I have owned a few vices over the past 40 years and the Renzetti Traveler is the most useful and versatile vise I …
Deron Williams
I don’t see any other point guard in the NBA having more of an upside than Deron Williams has for the Utah Jazz. I really like his game. He scores effortlessly from both beyond the arc and inside it. His leadership skills are already polished as well at a …
Bernard Berrian
Everyone knows the Chicago Bears. Even if you’re not a fan of the National Football League, you have probably danced along with the “Super Bowl Shuffle.” I know I have. And most people know that the Bears had a horrible season this year after going to the Super Bowl …
Wrestler: Bobby Lashley
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, …
Mike McCarthy
When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.
And, after seeing him through 15 games of his first season, I still stand by that opinion.
There’s a good chance the Packers will finish 7-9 this …
Dallas Cowboys
If I were a Cowboys fan, I would have some concerns about my team. After beating the Green Bay Packers to essentially clinch home field advantage in the playoffs, the Cowboys have lost two of their last three games. Granted, they rested a lot of their starters in the …
Delonte West
Delonte West of the Boston Celtics who was drafted out of St. Johns University is an intriguing prospect. He played college ball as a good two guard with a great point guard in Jameer Nelson to give him the ball. But as he lacked the size to be a …
WWE Divas Division (2010-2011)
There is no secret that the WWE Divas division has gone down hill.We have lost Mickie James,Michelle McCool,Layla(injured),Gail Kim,Maryse,and Melina.We have come from the almighty and powerful Chyna all the
way to Kelly Kelly.I think WWE needs to stop hiring models.The company as of …
Victoria Golf Course Driving Range (Golf)
Although for some people driving ranges are pretty much all the same, I find there are huge differences at many ranges that either add or detract from my experience. I use driving ranges to practice my swing, try different clubs, try new techniques and basically get in shape for …
