Volleyball
For those who have never seen or play volleyball before, volleyball is a basically a game which requires to teams to try to keep the ball not to fall into their own side of the court. Well, it is not that difficult? That is just one of the beauty …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Ice Dancing - Compulsory Dance
Every team skates to the same dance, doing two rotations on the rink. It’s a contest of technique. It’s much more of the classical ice dancing that I grew up watching versus the free style post-Bolero entry that changed the sport forever. It’s really a head …
Romeo Crennel
I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …
Cristiano Ronaldo
In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best footballer in the world. He is playing for my favorite football club of all time, Manchester United. He is relatively unknown to the world when he broke the British transfer fee record for a teenager to join the club in …
Soccer.com
I was in search for the 2010 Eufa Soccer Ball as early as now because someone close to me is really addicted with soccer, and this is supposed to be my gift for him. The Soccer.com website is by far the best Soccer accessories site ever! They have a …
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 …
Isiah Thomas
I HATE this guy. Flat out hate ISIAH THOMAS. He is one of the most stupid General Managers i have ever known EVER! Don’t get me wrong, he was a great basketball player himself when he led the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 along …
David Haye v Audley Harrison - World Heavyweight Title Fight
When David Haye agreed to fight Audley Harrison in an all British Heavyweight Title fight, it came as a surprise to many both within and outside of the sport. No body really gave Audley a chance, but the more he spoke up his chances, the more you began to …
Yao Ming
Yao Ming who currently is the tallest player in the NBA has the chance to be the leagues most dominant player this generation. At seven feet and six inches. Ming has the moves inside and the soft touch to be able to knock down open shots. Ming also has …
David Harrison
One of the most troubled players out there today is Indiana Pacers Center David Harrison. He has been involved with several lawsuits and incidents off the court where in it resulted to Harrison being placed under custody or into a courtroom. I don’t know what it is with the …
Mark Tauscher
When it comes to offensive linemen, you can find few better than Mark Tauscher.
An anchor of the Packers offensive line for years, Tauscher is easily one of the better offensive tackles in the league. It�s a shame the team hasn�t won more recently, otherwise he might have been …
Luverne Golf and Country Club, Luverne, Alabama
The Luverne Country Club about 40 miles south of Montgomery, Alabama is not the most prestigious golf club you will ever visit, but it is definitely one of the friendliest. I have played at Luverne every summer for the past 9 years and feel as though I am one …
Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones has always been a journeyman player. For thirteen years in this leage, Jones has been one of those borderline individuals who aren’t yet a super star, but are definitely not a wash-out. The six foot six guard out of Temple University has played for various teams including …
Dallas Mavericks offseason reviewed
The runner-up of last years NBA Finals made roster changes this season. they acquired Anthony Johnson who was instrumental in indiana’s play-off push last year when he averaged 20 points and eight assist per game in the series against Jason Kidd and the New Jersey nets. They sent veteran …
LA Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have always been enamored with the glamurous life. After they traded Shaquille O’neal to the Miami Heat though, the Lakers has struggled to regain that competitive and championship caliber type team that they were.
With Kobe Bryant in their team, they will always be a play-off …
Quentin Richardson
I have a friend named Quentin Richardson. Of course, growing up with him, we didn’t know that there would one day be a professional basketball player that shared the same name. But once there was, we used to incessantly tease him. I don’t think he minded at the time, …
Nenad Kristic
Nenad Kristic is a very good shooter for a big man. His seven feet tall and can step outside to shoot the open mid range jumper. Something that fits really well with the Nets offense since they have a number of guards and small forwards who are capable of …
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs this year are going to be amazing. I know that every year Cubs fans always say that, but this year is definately a year to be a fan. With the addition of a left handed bat in Milton Bradley, and the return of almost their entire starting …
Iron Gym Training Bar
“Get Strong—¦Get Ripped—¦Quick!” that’s what the on-box ad copy for the Iron Gym from Pro Fit purports it’s going to do for your body. But, does it live up to the claim? Let’s take a closer look.
Iron Gym isn’t so much a “gym” per se’ as it is a …
Real Skateboard Kit
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 …
Brevin Knight
After a successful stint with the Charlotte Bobcats as their starting point guard, Brevin Knight was released by the team allowing him to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers who badly needed someone to fill in the spot left open with the injury to Shaun Livingston who was the …
Lionel Messi, Argentine Soccer Player
Watching this footballing genius mesmerize the world over the past two years at club level, I really expected him to set the world stage alight when he was to do his thing at the FIFA World Cup 2010, in South Africa.
Although Messi has proven his class time and again …
Lane Kiffin
Here we go. A man after my own heart. The Oakland Raiders new head coach, Lane Kiffin, really breathes some hope back into a franchise that, once was committed to excellence, now seem to be adapted at losing.
The youngest head coach in the history of the NFL, Kiffin …
Ben Wallace
Over a decade ago, Virgina Union had a nasty player in their mens basketball program that they knew was a phenominal player. Unfortunately for teams of the NBA, they found out about him too late. Ben Wallace is probably the best all around low post defender in the last …
Al Thornton
The ninth overall pick in this year’s installment of the NBA draft is Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton. And his drafting couldn’t have come at a better time for the Clippers with the loss of Elton Brand until Mid February and the injuries to Tim Thomas and Paul …
Worcester Race Course
We like going to watch the horse racing and our local racecourse is at Worcester down by the river Severn. The course is a very nice course but it does have limited facilities. The course is very picturesque and it is lovely to go racing there in …
Lee Evans
The first of two first round draft picks from the Buffalo Bills, Lee Evans turned out to be just what the team needed. A lack of speed and depth at the wide receiver position prompted the front office to go out and pick up some talent. For this, they …
Longhorns-Aggies Football Game
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, …
Austin Croshere
I honestly do think that Austin Croshere is one of the wasted talents in the NBA. I really don’t know what happened to Austin in his stay with the Indiana Pacers which he played for the first seven years in his NBA career. The first time Austin played in …
Jarvis Hayes
Jarvis Hayes of the Detroit Pistons started his young career with the Washington Wizards playing alongside the likes of Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. He has made some strides in his career in the NBA but he still generally lacks the overall confidence that will make him …
Michael Finley
Former Dallas Mavericks star small forward/shooting guard, Michael Finley, looks like a star basketball player. You see him step out onto the floor and do his little leg stretches, it reminds you of that guy in gym class who would shoot free throws while everyone else played dodge ball. …
Sam Cassel
Currently the starting point guard of the LA Clippers in the NBA. Sam Cassel has a reputation of being a crunch player who handles the pressure well in the NBA. He was signed by the Clippers to possibly mentor rising superstar Shaun Livingston, but with his steady play he …

Liverpool Football Club
Liverpool Football Club is one of the most famous names in football anywhere in the world, let alone just in its native England. For many years Liverpool was also the most successful club in England, winning league championships and FA Cups by the bucket load, and also achieving considerable …
Hedo Turkoglo
Known back in his homeland as the turkish shooter, Hedo Turkoglo of the Orlando Magic has all the attributes of becoming a bona-fide NBA superstar. For me, Turkoglo has the size at 6′10′, the shooting range and the talent to become an all star in the NBA. What i …
Jon Kitna
The Detroit Lions had a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. They started out the season six and two behind their quarterback, Jon Kitna. Kitna is a product of bench warmer blues. The talented quarterback has been forced to sit behind less talented started for most …
Marcy Exercise Bike
My wife decided to buy a Marcy Exercise Bike a few years ago, as a way of getting into shape. Like most pieces of gym equipment she has purchased, it ended up in a corner of our house and was used more as a coat rack than anything else.
Well, …
Magic offseason in review
The Orlando Magic offseason so far has been uneventful. During the ‘06 NBA Draft the Magic selected J.J Redick, a deadshot 3 point shooter from Duke university. The pick should be highly justified since the team in all likelihood will lose SG Deshawn Stevenson to Free Agency this summer. …
NASCAR - Bud Shootout 2009
The 2009 NASCAR season got under way with the Bud Shootout 2009 race on February 7 and while it didn’t end exactly how I wanted it to, it was a very good race.
This special race is run in two segments, the first being 25 laps and the second being …
Stephen Graham
Stephen Graham is another player that found himself sitting on the sidelines for the Pacers most of the year. There were some spurts where he would be able to get out on the court, and when that happened he usually played a very good game, but that was on …
Damon Stoudamire
Over the years in the NBA, there have been plenty of guys with the potential for greatness. Though most have just been all hype, no talent, there have been a few previously who have had the hype and the careers to back it up. Damon Stoudamire is one of …
Ike Diogu
I know his injured right now and is out for the next 4 weeks, Still i cannot see the development that this kid has showed since the start of the season. Before he got injured, Diogu was an integral part of the great start that the Pacers had …
Maurice Cheeks
After Larry Brown left the Philadelphia 76ers, nobody thought they would have a good team again for a while. And then Allen Iverson left and everyone in Philadelphia pretty much went back to liking football. Maurice Cheeks arrived after Allen had left the team and never got a chance …
Aaron Brooks
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 …
Udonis Haslem
Miami Heat’s power forward Udonis Haslem whom they drafted out of University of Florida is probably the teams most consistent and healthy player. He barely misses any games and averages almost a double-double every single game night. For a power forward he has a legitimate stroke from the perimeter …
Gary Payton
Miami Heat Guard Gary Payton who recently captured hislong awaited quest for that special ring as an NBA champion has been in the league for a while now. He was instrumental in the Heat’s run towards the Championship last year where they dominated the Dallas Mavericks. Early in his …
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 …
NASCAR 2009 Nationwide Race - Fontana
The NASCAR 2009 Nationwide Race - Fontana was a bit one sided, unfortunately. Kyle Busch pretty much walked away with the win, which was a record-setting second win for the day, since he had already won the truck race. No driver had ever won two major events in …
Tracy McGrady
Tracy McGrady, or T-Mac, is the outstandingly talented guard who plays for the Houston Rockets. You can say this guy has basketball in his blood. His first cousin is the New Jersey Nets forward, Vince Carter, and the two were once teammates in Toronto with the Raptors. During McGrady’s …
Al Harrington
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 …
