2007 Minnesota Vikings
When I look at the 2007 Minnesota Vikings, I am reminded of Murphy�s Law �What can go wrong, will go wrong.� The reality is, if the Vikings didn�t have bad luck, they would have no luck at all.
The defense is probably the only bright spot on the team. Or, …

Wade Phillips
If you watched the Dallas Cowboys play at all this year, then you’ve probably seen their energetic coach on the sidelines, Wade Phillips. Wade is a transplant from colder climates. Once up in Buffalo, he’s now down in Texas to see how his brand of football works with America’s …
Wrestler: Akeem The African Dream
Akeem The African Dream as he was known, was a wrestler most famous in the 80’s and 90’s as both Akeem and One Man Gang. I was never a fan of his, and personally found him to be obnoxious and a waste of television time. However, he was well …
Wrestler: A1
The only time I have ever known A1 was from his run within Total Nonstop Action wrestling as a member of Coach Scott D’Amores ‘Team Canada’ Faction. He classed as a ‘Big man’ wrestler not for his height, but for his muscle mass being a former bodybuilder. While in …

Lamar Odom

Bonzi Wells
Back when Rasheed Wallace played for the Portland Trailblazers, I used to be a fan. I used to tune in and watch Sheed in the middle with his partner in crime, Bonzi Wells. Bonzi was unmistakeable. You could spot him from a mile away with his big six foot …
TitanPoker
Titan Poker is by far my favorite of all online poker sites, for various reasons.
One thing they have which I will note is a great thing for both fish and sharks who just want to make small gains are excellent “double-up” tables where if you place 1st, 2nd, or …

Trenton Hassel
It is actually funny how Trenton Hassel ended up together with Juwan Howard for the Dallas Mavericks. Early in the summer, the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timeberwolves in exchange for Trenton Hassel. At that time the Mavericks needed a defensive stopper who can …
Flip Sunders
Detroit Pistons Head coach Flip Sunders has done an admirable job with the Pistons so far. Given the fact that the team does have a nice collection of superstar players. It is still pretty tough to coach this ultra ego guys and have them perform at a high level …
Amare Stoudemire
Amare Stoudemire the Starting Center of the Phoenix Suns has had knee troubles the last three years. He underwent microfracture surgery three years ago and was out for the whole year that season. He came back last year with a vengeance and proved that with his youth and …
2008 Minnesota Vikings
A lot of people look at the Minnesota Vikings this year and list them as the favorites to win the NFC North division. While that might be the case, I don’t think it is as clear cut as many people think it is.
Here’s a look at the team; position …
Antonio McDyess
Antonio McDyess once belonged to the best of the league’s big man. He was a versatile power forward who has crazy athletic abilities and who’s offensive game was as limitless as the sky. He can post-up, shoot the midrange jumper, use his speed to get to the rim and …
Josh Powell

Takara Kabuto Single Speed Road Bike

Rex Grossman
Never in the history of the NFL have I seen a more sporadic quarterback than the Chicago Bears quarterback, Rex Grossman. Sexy Rexy as he is so colorfully coined by his fans, tends to lean on the side of football sociopath, no feelings or empathy for what he does …
Randy Wittman
As the new coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, first year hopeful Randy Wittman certainly has his hands full. After Kevin Garnett finally got out of there, the Timberwolves don’t have another start to speak of. Trapped in the toughest conference in the history of basketball with teams like the …
Mike Shanahan
If you’ve ever seen the Denver Broncos play football then you know that they have one of the best running attacks in the National Football League and have had it for over a decade now. Why? Because Mike Shanahan, the head coach, is a pure genius when it comes …
Daunte Culpepper
When it comes to physical skill, Culpepper has everything you want at quarterback. He’s got a strong arm, he’s the size of a linebacker and he’s able to scramble for yards.
However, throughout the years, he hasn’t seemed to grasp the mental side of the position.
I blame the fact he …
Robert Swift
Robert Swift who is the consensus starter in the Center spot for the Seattle Supersonics is perhaps the most injured player in the NBA today. Many people will debate some cases for some players in the league as well but nevertheless, you can’t stop but think of the possibilities …

Minnesota Vikings 2008 recap
Well, I’ll admit it, when the Minnesota Vikings started out their season, I never thought they would be the team to claim the competitive NFC North title. I thought the Packers would do it and, if not them, the Chicago Bears.
I’ll give them my congratulations but, even though the …
S-League
S-League stands for Singapore League, and it is a local scene in my country for the local popular sports, soccer. And there are lots of league clubs competing against one another to reign championship. There are the seasons, of course.
Am I an avid fan? Honestly …
Richard Hamilton
Detroit Pistons all-star guard Richard Hamilton is one of the games best midrange shooters. He often gets his points by moving without the ball and getting to designated spots in the court that frees him up to unleash those wicked midrange jumpers which he shoots with great accuracy. Over …
Rick Adelman
There’s something special about the Houston Rockets. I’m not sure if I’m just feeling nostalgiac about Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous comment where he stated “never underestimate the heart of a champion” or if I’m just a huge Yao Ming fan. Regardless of why I think the Rockets are special, I …
Tim Hasselbeck
Tim’s wife Elisabeth has been a finalist on the reality televison show Survivor, and that’s a mode the quarterback has been during his short NFL career. After being cut by the Bills, Panthers, and Eagles, as well as toiling in NFL Europe, Hasselbeck began to crash in on his …
Basketball Player: Preston Knowles
Preston Knowles is my favorite player on the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He is a sophmore guard our of Winchester, Kentucky. He is listed at 6-1 and 170 pounds, but judging from his present frame, he has put on at least 10 pounds of muscle …

Paul Pierce
The Boston Celtics used to be known as the greatest Boston sports team ever. With the Red Sox, their beloved baseball team under the spell of a curse from 1918 till 2004 and their Patriots dead in the water until 2001, it was the Celtics championship banners from years …

Boris Diaw
The frenchman, Boris Diaw. A versatile 6 feet 10 inch import from the land of wine is a very good find for the Phoenix Suns. He has a respectable shot from the outside that in the valley of the suns is a must. In the team though i consider …
2010 Minnesota Vikings
Well, I’ve been holding off on writing my opinion about the various NFL teams until I had a chance to see them in action. And, when I say in action, I mean real action; not the fake action you see in preseason.
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the …
Jim Zorn
I will admit, I’m surprised by the Washington Redskins’ decision to hire Seattle Seahawks quarterback coach Jim Zorn as their head coach. This is both because I’m used to owner Dan Snyder making a big splash when he hires his coaches and because I’m not sure he’s the right …
Marco Belinelli
I actually saw Marco Belinelli in a live game back when he was playing for the Italian National Club. And back then he was primarily a three point shooter or what they call in International play as a “Zone Buster” type of a player. He was very young when …
Cincinnati Bengals Preseason
I mentioned at one point that I was surprised when Dick Jauron kept his job following yet another 7-9 season with the Buffalo Bills. But, I wasn’t as surprised by that as I was when Marvin Lewis kept his job with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Going into this season, I could …
Steve Smith
When I think about the Carolina Panthers Steve Smith, I can only say he�s the ultimate over-achiever.
Smith came into the league as a third round draft pick. He probably would have been drafted higher but he�s only 5�9� and, somewhere down the line, the NFL started thinking receivers should …
Jarrett Bush
When the Packers named Jarrett Bush their Nickel Back, I had some serious concerns about the position. And, through the first few games of the 2007 season, I had plenty of reason to doubt he was the right guy for the job.
But, as he�s gotten more experience, I have …
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 …
