Minnesota Timberwolves who owned the seventh overall selection in this years draft took university of Florida Gators standout Corey Brewer. Many projected Brewer as probably the next Scottie Pippen in the league. They both have the same attributes physically in the sense that they are both tall and lanky. …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers surprised me this year. They are an aging team and I thought the age would catch up to them. But, in an NFC South division that is in turmoil, they have managed to find their way to the top and make the playoffs again.
The defense …

2008 Topps Kickoff was a great low end football product released by Topps at the beginning of the 2008 NFL season. I really appreciate this product because it is affordable, at only $1.00 a pack.
This set is based off of the 2008 Topps set, the difference is that …

Andre Miller came off of the Allen Iverson trade from the Denver Nuggets. He was one of the reasons the Sixers agreed to that trade. In getting Miller the Sixers receive a player who is very tough defensively and also is one of the league’s best assist man. His …

The Miami Dolphins today named Joey Harrington their starter over former starter Dante Culpepper. I agree with this decision.
Harrington really hasn’t done much throughout his career to earn a starting spot. However, Culpepper has looked downright awful during the first part of the season.
First, he doesn’t seem to have …

I have been a wrestling fan for many years, but when the Rock stopped wrestling I no longer watched it anymore because I could see that the quality of the sport was not the same as it used to be in the days of Hart vs Bulldog in 1992. …

The Minnesote Vikings and quarterback and two terms you rarely hear in the same sentence. Why? Because they don’t have a quarterback worth mentioning now, and never really did as far back as I can remember. Their quarterback of today, Brooks Bollinger, is a five year veteran out of …

A lot of people think this is the year the Arizona Cardinals finally end their losing streak and make the playoffs. I’m not convinced.
On paper, the Cardinals have a ton of talent and Ken Whisenhunt definitely has the pedigree. But, I’m still not sure if they can escape the …

Bulk is currently a personal favorite of mine, and I have had the pleasure of seeing his, as well as his tag-team partner Big Dave, live at a local show. Together they form the UK Pitbulls, and are one of the most recognizable tag-teams in the UK and on …

Derek Anderson is a six foot five guard that comes to the NBA via the Kentucky Wildcats. Anderson was a bright shining star in his few short years with the NCAA mens division 1 power house. And he wasn’t very shy about quickly making an impression on the fans …

When I think about Jim Bates, I think of a guy who had the potential to be a great defensive coordinator but basically blew his chances because he�s a big cry baby.
Bates ran dominating defenses on the Miami Dolphins and, in his one year with the Green Bay Packers, …

I have always thought that Miami Heat General Manager/Head Coach Pat RIley is an old fraud. He took over the team after he initiated deals that netted him a rather healthy O’neal away from the Los Angeles Lakers. When he noticed that his team had the chance to get …

Owning the starting point guard duties for the Toronto Raptors is miniscule guard TJ Ford. After a tragic first season in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks when he had that accident that broke his neck and it almost ended his playing career. Ford resurrected his NBA playing career …

The world of martial arts has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Decades ago, forms training were the main way students practiced their art. This practice has fallen by the wayside since many money martial arts disapprove of the method. Those that are fortunate enough to view a …

Dorrel Wright a two guard for the Miami Heat has shown some brilliance in some of his games that he has played in this season. I have to admit that coming into this season i wasn’t expecting him to be getting much burn off the bench but he has …

Asya was one of the female wrestlers in WCW that actually scared me. I first saw her as a member of Shane Douglas’ Faction known as The Revolution alongside fellow members Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and of course the leader, Shane Douglas. The faction was short lived …

The New York Knicks has probably the worst management in any pro sports in my own estimation. They suck from the President all the way down to the towel guy. The owner probably is ok since he pays for the salary of his players without complaints but other than …

I got the wave for Christmas after seeing it at Sportsauthority, i tried it out and loved it. The wave is like surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and Skim boarding all in one board. The wave features a two platforms connected by a bar in the center. On …

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

I used to keep fit by jogging. But as I got older I found that niggles in my ankle and knee joints were getting more frequent and taking longer to heal. In fact, there came a point when I was spending more time recovering than actually jogging. …

I have a great deal of respect for Bob Backlund as during his day, he was living proof that you did not need a gimmick to get over in wrestling. Alls that you needed was to be good at your craft, to be a good wrestler and have a …

Last year there was a bit of controversy in the Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA division 1 mens basketball program. It appeared as though the team had let the school janitor play. After asking around, I found it it wasn’t the janitor, but I’m still not convinced that it wasn’t …

Victor Chandler Poker, a member of the iPoker network, is by far my favorite poker site to play on. It has a sleek design, competitive but not great players, fast payouts, and excellent staff.
The interface looks nearly identical to all of the other iPoker network sites, so it should …

When I bought this saddle, I knew very little about them, and horses in general. My trainer found a used Jaguar XJS and told me to buy it, so I did. And why not? It looked great, it was made from dark, high quality Paris leather. After becoming more …

For the past seven years, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has been a blessing to both his team and the league as a whole. All he does is make plays and go back to the huddle, ready to make another. Though he does get flashy at times, the …

Sasha Pavlovic of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a player that i consider as one of the most boastful there ever was. Asked what would be his greatest defense that he can contribute to the team. He simply answered, My greatest defense is my offense. While that is true to …

The Turks must love their basketball over there. I had no idea that it was players dreams in Europe to play for the NBA. Or is Turkey in Asia? I know that every kid in America dreams of either being an athlete or a rock star. And with the …

I actually was an avid fan for Tayshaun Prince when he was playing in his collegiate days and i have to admit that i seriously doubted whether he will have an NBA career at all. His body frame was my concern since i highly doubted whether he can take …

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 …

This was the biggest heartache of my sports following history. The trade that sent Grant Hill to the Orlando Magic for then considered nothing but garbage Ben wallace and Chucky Atkins. At that time it seemed like a no brainer for the Magic to make the deal. But alas, …

These paintballs are pretty good, and are definitely up to my standards. They’re good enough for tournaments, however I prefer different paintballs which cost about the same. RPS tends to make better paintballs, so I prefer RPS All Star and Marballizer paintballs as far as tournament play goes.
Evil paintballs …

In my opinion Chauncey Billups is one of the most over-rated point guards of all time. He has benefited greatly from playing in a great team with great chemistry and has taken credit for most of it. I really don’t like his game at all. Some of his avid …

Toni Battie the back-up center for the Orlando Magic is a hustler who sacrifices his body and his game for the better of his team. He rebounds well with the minutes that he get and he can also defend on the post to counter the other teams best pivots. …

When reviewing Michael Finley i put in the previous career numbers that his had playing for the Dallas Mavericks. So i rate him a respectable seven for those years where he was a terrific offensive force for that team and the league in general.
In his prime, i strongly regarded …

What can I say? The ultimate scoring machine in the NBA right now. Needless to say his very valuable to the Lakers. He often creates his shots with wicked jab steps and crossover moves, head fakes, pump fakes and freakish speed to accomplish his fadeaway shots, drive to 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 …

I have to give the New York Giants credit; first they upset the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and then they managed to keep the man who is most likely responsible for that win.
I had never even heard the name Steve Spagnuolo before the NFL post season …

We had a lot of fun at this golf course that is open to the public. We started by asking for a tee time and the pro shop reported that most members showed up after nine o’clock so to just come.
We did so on a Monday and found …

Remember the Titans? Well, National Football League quarterback Steve McNair does. They discharged him and didn’t even let him back on the property. That’s an awful thing to do to a quarterback who helped take you to a Super Bowl. Eventually McNair was picked up by the Baltimore Ravens …

Atlanta Motor Speedway was the host to the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series 200. Owning his own team this year, it was Kyle Busch on the pole. Of note was the debut of Steven Wallace. While he drives regularly in the Nationwide Series, he’s never …

He was a complete surprise for me this year. Being a National Basketball Association fantasy addict, i tried to get the best team after the draft this year out on the court each and every single night. With deep picks in the draft that are considered steals of the …
