Brevin Knight
Brevin Knight was signed by the Clippers to replace the injured Shaun Livingston who suffered possibly a career ending injury last year. Knight is a good replacement for Livingston since he facilitates the offense better and is more of a veteran presence than Shaun. With Cassel starting at the …
Terry Kinard
A tough hitter, Terry led the Giants with five interceptions and 15 passes defensed in ‘89. He also registered 58 tackles to bring his seven year career total to 493. Terry was an ‘83 NFL All-Rookie as he came up with 70 tackles. Signed as Plan B free agent …
Sherdons Golf Club
One of the local golf clubs and course I like to play at is called Sherdons. It is located not far from Teddington, which is in between Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. It is about a ten minute drive from the race course at Cheltenham.
The Club has recently been …
Jelani McCoy
Denver Nuggets signed Jelanie McCoy as a guarantee whenever a crucial piece of their front line rotation goes down with an injury. This is specially the case since year after year the Nuggets seem to suffer so much injury. Kenyon Martin has just regained his health after at least …
George Karl
The Denver Nugget’s head coach, George Karl, is no stranger to life in the NBA. He may seem familiar to some of you Seattle Sonic fans out there and will certainly be remebembered as a no nonsense, take no prisoners type of coach. Just to look at him gets …
Portland Trailblazers in review
The Portland Trailblazer’s started the offseason with a BIG BANG during the ‘06 NBA draft. Made 6 trades during the night that netted them the 2nd overall pick Lamarcus Aldridge from the Chicago Bulls. They also acquired the rights for the 6th overall pick Brandon Roy and Raef Lafrentz …
Ronaldo De Lima Brazilian Soccer Star Striker
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 …
Devin Harris
Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks in my opinion is one of the most speedy point guards out there today. He has this quick burst of speed that leaves defenders behind. Harris is a valuable part of the Mavericks drive to the championship. I’ve seen him a couple of …
2007 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
At the start of the year, I was certain this would be Coach Jon Gruden’s last year in Tampa Bay. He had an aging team and seemed desperate to find a starting quarterback; signing both Jeff Garcia and trading a draft pick to get retired quarterback Jake Plummer (who …
Jordan Farmar
Jordan Farmar whom the Los Angeles Lakers drafted last year in the first round of the play-offs is the wave of the future for the point guard spot of the Los Angeles Lakers. After seeing very little playing time last year in his rookie campaign, Farmar made great strides …
Antonio Mcdyess
Former Denver Nuggets All-star Antonio Mcdyess who now dons the Detroit Pistons Jersey was one of those annointed as the next line of superstars that would carry the league for years to come. Unfortunately for Mcdyess, he injured his knee and was relegated to a lot of rehabilitation and …
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 …
Andre Johnson
The Houston Texans haven’t had much success since their inception a few years ago. With a bust at the quarterback position with David Carr, and an upsetting loss to the Cowboys in their second installmen of the Governers Bowl, the Texans seem to be moving south of the border …
David Haye v Audley Harrison
David Haye v Audley Harrison. It was a fight that was really dividing opinion. Haye had been inactive since winning the world title against Valuev and with nothing yet agreed with the Kiltchkos it was Audley that stole in to claim a deal.
My initial thought was why on earth …
Chris Bosh
Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors was selected fifth overall in the ‘03 NBA draft and immediately he showed his wares as a future all star in the league. At 6 feet and 11 inches tall, Bosh can play the post with great success. He can also step out …
Ahmed Plummer
Plummer clogged up the Bears’ passing lanes in week 1 of 2003, when the ultra-gifted cornerback tallied two passes defensed and two picks, including a staggeing 68-yard interception return for a touchdown. He finished his remarkable compaign with 16 passes defensed. Ahmed certainly does know how to defend his …
Keyoon Dooling
Orlando Magic Guard Keyoon Dooling whome they acquired last year at the Free Agency from the Miami Heat suffered through early season injury that affected his performance last year. The magic were hoping to get a player that would come off the bench and spark the game. Dooling is …
La Marcus Aldridge
Outside of Greg Oden in the Portland Trailblazer line-up, nobody has more of an upside than LaMarcus Aldridge. Although playing in just his second season in the league, Aldridge has already shown what future lies ahead of him. He is a very athletic guy who can get to the …
Original Jeet Kune Do Foundational Structure DVD
Lamar Davis’ Original Jeet June Do Complete remains one of the most comprehensive home DVD series on the subject of Bruce Lee’s martial art. Volume one in the series is the DVD “Foundational Structure” and it is a MUST HAVE for anyone that wishes to learn the art of …
Dwayne Wade - Miami Heat
Reigning NBA finals MVP and a member of the world Champions Miami Heat, Dwayne Wade in three years has earned quick superstardom status. Unstoppable in offense and a slowly developing perimeter game makes him one of the permiere players in the league. His crossover moves coupled with lightning speed …
Bostjan Nachbar
Bostjan Nachbar of the New Jersey Nets has FINALLY found his mark in the NBA. And man it took him quite a while to get there. Playing for numerous teams in the league throughout his career, Nachbar has found his home with the Nets as their best offensive player …
Paul Millsap
Paul Millsap came into the league highly un-regarded as an NBA player. Even i myself didn’t know who this guy was but the fact remains that he has grabbed the most rebounds in NCAA for three straight years. He led the nation in rebounding since his freshmen year up …
Eli Manning
Don’t let the last couple of games fool you, Eli Manning is no where near as good as his brother.
He may have survived the playoffs and may be going to the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. But, he did that largely because of his surrounding …
Bobby Jackson
Bobby Jackson is probably my favorite name in the history of names. It was my bosses name at my former job and I called him “OG Bobby Jacson” as a name play on OG Bobby Johnson, the famous gantsa turned activist from the duece gang on the highly acclaimed …
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks is another team in that Southwest Division that will be a key player in the play-offs this year. Boasting a line-up that includes reigning NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki. They also have the very versatile Josh Howard, Lightning quick guard in Devin Harris, two guard Jason Terry …
Prince o3 Tour Tennis Racket
Ever since I started playing tennis, I’ve always used my old twenty dollar tennis racket I got from a local sports outlet. But when my tennis addiction grew, along with the skill of my level of tennis playing, my cheap old racket began to feel weak and brittle. Starting …
Orien Greene
Orien Greene played for the Indiana Pacers last season in 2006-07. He was really the only player on the team that knew how to play man-to-man defense and play it well. His number was #0 as it was on the Boston Celtics. The Pacers did not play him very …
Pre-season American football in the NFL
I’m a pretty big football fan. I’m not hardcore like some people are and I really only follow my two teams (Ravens and Redskins) but I enjoy watching it and I get excited when Football season starts to ramp up and get going.
Before the season starts, however, there …
Philip Rivers
The Chargers were involved with some drama on draft day a few years back. Wanting to select Eli Manning with their overall top pick in the draft, they received word that Manning would not play for the CHargers if selected. So like any good team would do, they ignored …
Erick Dampier
The starting Center for the Dallas Mavericks, Erick Dampier has been a disappointment ever since he came into the Mavericks when he signed that monster contract. It is really unfair in the NBA for the teams sometimes when a situation like this happens. A player like Erick Dampier who …
Chris Richard
Chris Richard out of the Florida Gators in the collegiate ranks has had a great career there and has just started his pro career with the Minnesota Timberwolves and has seen very little playing time for now. I think the Twolves though are just waiting for him to mature …
The Challenge: Marquez vs. Casamayor
In the bout dubbed The Challenge, a bout between two counter-punchers in their mid thirties, one fought his age and the other lived to his name. It was Marquez’s first fight as a lightweight and he was a little shaky at the get-go. Being in the lightweight division for …
Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells
I have owned a set of these for over a year now and they are awesome. They are the perfect ideal dumbbells that you can buy. They are small and easy to store and built tough so they wont break. They are perfect for helping you out with your …
Dallas Cowboys 2008
This is the year.
This team is poised to win it all this season after a heartbreaking loss to a New York Giants team who caught fire JUST at the right time. The pass rush that NY presented on top of key dropped passes by Crayton lead to a …
Tom Brady
If there was ever an overrated player, Tom Brady fits the description.
As quarterback for the New England Patriots, Brady has won 3 Super Bowl Rings. But, let’s face the facts; could he have done that with any other team? I don’t think he could.
The reality is, Brady is a …
ToPeak Alien II Multi-Tool
Two years ago, on a whim, I purchased the Topeak Alien II Multi-Tool because it was on a sale (every sale looks good once you’ve been bitten by the bike stuff bug) and it arrived a few days later.
After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …
Philippine Basketball Association games
When I was a kid and really crazy about basketball, I would watch the games of the Philippine Basketball Association because it is definitely one of the most exciting basketball leagues, sometimes even better than the NBA. Never mind though that the quality of the players are far …
Grant Hill
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 …
F1
im a big fan of ferrari.huge fan.im also a michael schumacher fan,but just for his driving style.i have watch the races for almost 6 years now,and im very disapointed in f1.the new rules en regulations made me not watching f1 the past few races.the only reason they changed the …
Danny Granger
When i first saw Danny Granger of the University of New Mexico when he was still in college, i already had an inkling that his gonna be good in the NBA. He has all the tools necessary to succeed in the league today. He has size, speed, power, agility …
Koren Robinson
Koren Robinson is an NFL player with a lot of talent who basically ruined his career by letting demons take over.
Playing for the Packers this year, I saw how Robinson can help a team both by returning kicks and providing them with a dependable deep threat receiver. However, throughout …
Juwan Howard
One of the member of the fab five from the University of Michigan where they dominated the collegiate ranks in the early 90’s. Howard entered the league as one of the most talented and highly touted rookies. He lived-up to those expectations early in his career where he was …
Wrestler: Allison Danger
Alison Danger is a new discovery for myself personally. Over here in the United Kingdom we have a channel called ‘TWC Fight!’ which showcases Professional Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts. On a British Wrestling show she fought a local British Wrestler and won, it was then announced that she …
Brian Cook
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 …
Hiking at Tunica Hills
Tunica Hills has great hiking trails for all skill levels, and is second only to the Azalea Trails in terms of quality and length. Though it has no direct street address, it’s easy to find off of Hwy 67 in St. Francisville. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries …
Santana Moss
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, …
Wrestler: Chuck Palumbo
I have been a personal fan of Chuck Palumbo since I saw his debut in the old and now defunct World Championship Wrestling. Chuck was apart of an ‘evolution’ and ‘new school’ based Faction called the Natural Born Thrillers along with Shawn Stasiak, Sean O’Haire and Mark Jindrak, all …
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 …
Renzetti Traveler fly tying vice
First things first, I own this vise and use it every day. Something else you should know is that I have been tying flies since 1969. I have owned a few vices over the past 40 years and the Renzetti Traveler is the most useful and versatile vise I …
Penny Skateboards 22.5 x 6″
Upon purchasing my first penny skateboard I was stoked! I had never owned one personally but pretty much was born on a skateboard so I had ridden some in the past from the small 22.5’s to the wider ones I believe to be called nickles which makes since when …
