Not too long ago, I took a post-draft look at each of the NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers and discussed what I liked and disliked about each. Now that the teams have each played two games, I have a better feel for what they have to offer …

The Alpine downhill events have always been something I’ve enjoyed, going way back to childhood. It’s fast, and I love seeing the skiers grabbing some air. I haven’t followed it as much as I used to, but when it comes time for the Olympics, it’s a must …

The next round of the Carling Cup saw Manchester United pit their wits against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Last year Wolves had fielded a weakened side in the league at Old Trafford and received widespread criticism for it, but this time the side that was going to play looked quite useful. …

I admit that I am not a boxing fan. Whenever my father and brother watch a boxing match, I never watch it with them. I haven’t seen any boxing match until last May 2, 2009 when professional boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fought Ricky”The Hitman” Hatton. The fight was called …

Well, the New England Patriots finally lost a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago and, as a result, felt the so-called curse that happens to Super Bowl losers. The funny thing is the team is so well built, they almost beat it.
OK, show of hands here, when Tom Brady …

As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …

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 …

It took the England cricket selectors much too long, in my opinion, to give Andrew Strauss the national captaincy (at least as far as Test cricket is concerned) on a permanent basis. When Michael Vaughan stepped down, Strauss performed pretty well in a tricky series against Pakistan, but was …

The Rock is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Not only does he have the People’s Elbow the best move ever done in history. But he also has the Rock Bottom that lays out his enemies. I really like this guy’s personality. He has come a long way …

Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies, an intriguing talent indeed. I must admit i don’t know this guy that much. I’ve seen the Grizzlies play a couple of times this year and i’m impressed with what i’m seeing from these guy.

After watching Noah Herron in extensive action during the Packers game against the Rams, I am starting to understand what the coaches saw in him when they decided to keep him and cut Najeh Davenport.
Herron seems to be a solid one-cut runner who is capable of stepping up and …

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Cam Cameron becomes the latest coach to find himself unemployed.
After finishing 1-15 this season, I highly doubt he’ll land another head coaching job any time soon. But, as an offensive coordinator, he’ll be valuable.
Assuming Marty Schottenheimer returns to coaching this year, don’t be surprised to …

The Seattle SuperSonics, whose luck has been on the down side of bad lately, hit a super blessing last year with their two first round picks in the NBA draft. Selecting Texas Longhorns mega star, Kevin Durant, with their first pick, the Sonics then picked up the Georgetown Hoyas …

With the acquisition of Brett Favre at quarterback, many people might think the New York Jets have finally taken steps to become a legitimate AFC playoff contender. I’m not so sure that’s the case.

I will never lay claim to being a super star cyclist, but I have managed to get some pretty good results in some time trials and I consider myself to be gaining a good bit of knowledge and experience about equipment as I work to do the best I …

Grant Hill of the Orlando Magic was a perenial all star before injury struck hard. Playing for the Pistons back then he was simply in a league on his own. Highly agile for a 6-8 forward/guard, he often entered the lane with his crossover moves, using his quickness and …

The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.

The Bengals haven’t had much success drafting quarterbacks in the past but I think they finally found their future in quarterback Carson Palmer.
Barring injury, Palmer may be the key to the Bengals returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1980s. Even though he’s only been …

Former Slam Dunk King Fred Jones of the New York Knicks has done very little since being dealt to the Knicks. I somewhat admired him when he was still playing for the Indiana Pacers a couple of years back. He was a dynamic player for Rick Carlisle coming off …

Waqar Yunus was oe of the greatest fast bowler of the world. He was originator of reverse swing and he invented this technique of swinging the old ball. This technique was new and no body understood his bowling and hence, he became very successful. He used to mix …

I don’t think Brett Favre is ever going to retire. It will be 2042 and Brett will roll out in his wheel chair and throw a 75 yard touchdown pass to the rookie wide receiver in space boots. Brett Favre is the heart and soul of the Green Bay …

If there is one under-rated player in the PBA today, it has to be the Purefoods TJ Giant’s Richard Yee. For all I care, Yee deserved a spot in the rotation of Coach Ryan Gregorio. He is tall and athletic and can definitely provide quality minutes off the bench. …

Ryan Howard is as strong as a ox . That’s the first thing you notice when watching him. He’s a huge lefthander 6′4″ 255. I love his demeanor he’s a young player but calm beyond his years. Howard hit 58 home runs in 2006. He was the 2006 …

Doc Rivers is the former all star basketball player turned coach for the NBA’s Boston Celtics. This year they’re leading the league in wins. As I type this they have won 25 games and lost only 3. That’s impressive and reminds me of the great Chicago Bulls teams with …

First practice for NASCAR’s 2009 race at the Martinsville short track took place Friday morning on March 27th. Rain was threatening and would eventually rain out qualifying for that afternoon, but the Sprint Cup drivers were able to get in their entire morning practice.
My favorite, Jeff Gordon, ended …
