For the beginner, there are training courses you can take. I took one, and it was an easy way to …

Bell recommends that you allow the helmet to air dry after each use before you store …

With the peak of my interest in football entering its nova phase in the late nineties, one my international footballing heroes would unsurprisingly be Ronaldo De Lima, given his popularity at the time and his epic rise to stardom.
At the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France is the …

I’m not sure how many people really know who Matt Hasselbeck is. The Seattle Seahawks aren’t the most popular football team around, and stuck in the great north=west, it’s hard to tell if they’ll ever get exposure. Though Matt Hasselbeck just led the Seahawks to a super bown two …

Jamaal Tinsley should be considered as one of the most unfortunate players in the league. His history of injuries are really disappointing the pacers and affecting their run at the play-offs. When healthy he easily belongs to the upper echelon of point guards in the league. His offense relies …

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 …

The NASCAR - 2009 Sam’s Town 300 Nationwide race was a comedy of errors and bad plays by veteran drivers. The Las Vegas race was full of yellow flags, many of which were spin outs done by Cup drivers participating in the race.

The Carolina Panthers have always been a team that everyone knows about. Since they were expanded to be in the league in the early 90’s, they’ve been known to win a game or few. And with their quarterback, Jake Delhomme, it’s no wonder why. Jake is an amazing quarterback …

Yet to win away from home in the league, Manchester Uniteds next test was a trip away to play Sunderland. Just like Bolton this was never an easy game. For United it always seemed to be a fixture that was either very comfortable or very tight, as like Bolton, …

The AFC West division isn’t the strongest division in the league and it’s reasonable to think just about every team in it has a shot at winning it. However, I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the likely exception to that.
I remember, way back when, the Chiefs were a …

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 …

The St. Louis Rams are trying to determine if Lamar Gordon may be the eventual successor of their present running back Marshall Faulk. Although he was harrassed with injuries throughout 2003, the early returns have been very promising for Rams fans. The ‘02 third-rounder has shown explosiveness into the …

Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers has taken a long time to develop into a formidable player in the league. Slowly as it may seem though, he has in my opinion created a name for himself as a legit NBA player that can shoot the ball as a …

The Cleveland Browns fate for the playoffs this year didn’t rest in their hands. After winning nine games, it was totally dependant on what the Tennessee Titans did against the Colts (win or lost) that would decide the Browns fate. This was a shock for the people of Cleveland. …

The Washington Redskins have had more than their fair share of troubles this past season. Though making it to the playoffs, they were decidedly booted out by a much hungrier, and less beat up Seattle Seahawk team. Though each year, wheter they seem to make the playoffs or not, …

Now that Donovan McNaab’s season is over, I think it’s time for him to consider retirement or, at very least, a change of location.
McNaab was a solid starter for the Eagles for several years. However, I credit that to his mobility and to a solid defense.
After two straight season-ending …

Graeme Swann has gone in the space of a few years from being considered almost a has-been as far as the England cricket team are concerned to being thought of as one of the premier spin bowlers in the world, and a real “go to” man for the England …

I have to say, I don’t understand this whole NASCAR thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I can find a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to spend it sitting in front of a TV watching a bunch of cars running around in a circle.
I mean, …

This is Odyssey’s newest edition to their putter family. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the new 2010 Odyssey Black Series Tour Design.

The NASCAR 2009 Shelby 427 Sprint Cup Race was a caution-filled race that still managed to have some nice surprises. Things I liked or disliked included:

New Knick guard Stephon Marbury the self proclaimed greatest point guard in the league today and as he said probably all time is much maligned in the new york media as he has been unable to deliver the Knicks to the promised land. Finishing last in the Eastern Conference …

In the Purefoods TJ Giant’s current line-up, there is no more exciting player to watch then Peter June Simon. He is, in my opinion, the most effective guard in the league today.
