UFC 127 (Penn vs. Fitch)
UFC 127 was a good card. In this review I’m only going to talk about the main event, B.J. Penn vs. Jon Fitch. As soon as the bell rang, Penn charged out strong, throwing a few punches, then to everyone’s surprise, shooting for a take down. Fitch initially fought …
2006 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are a hard team to judge. They could either be in the playoffs or at the bottom of their division.
Coach Jon Gruden knows quarterbacks but I think he made a mistake when he let veteran Brian Griese get away. Chris Simms may be the future of the …
Robina Woods Golf Club
Robina Woods Golf Club in Robina, Queensland is half an hour from the city. We waited an hour to tee off, since we played on the 6,700-yard (championship tees) course on a Saturday, and up ahead were two flights of women that couldn’t get out fast from the …
Oakland Raiders Preseason
Last year, I went out on a limb and predicted the Miami Dolphins would end up surprising people and be one of the most improved teams in the league after going 1-15 the year before. I was surprised when they did better than even I predicted.
This year, I’m going …
New York Knicks:Summer 2010
The New York Knicks certainly were not considered an elite franchise for the past 9 years. The NBA always criticizing the moves the franchise made up until two years ago when Donnie Walsh took over as team president. From the day he started working he had two goals; one …
Chad Pennington
It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …
Detroit Lions 2008 Recap
When your football team becomes the first time in NFL history to finish its season with a 0-16 record (once thought impossible), there is really very little you can plan to build around. And, while I do think the Detroit Lions are doing some good things team wise, I …
Aaron Gray
Aaron Gray of the Chicago Bulls has been a pleasant surprise for them in a season full of embarrassment and disappointments. He has shown the inclination and the talent to someday be a good player in the league. I see him as a Brad Miller type of a player …
Raja Bell
If you caught the western conference playoffs for the National Basketball Association last year, or the year before, then you’ve probably seen the Phoenix Suns come oh so close to visiting the finals. The Suns are a very talented basketball team. And a big part of that comes from …
Brent Barry
Brent Barry of the San Antonio Spurs is a very good three point shooter. Earlier in his career, Barry was considered a high flyer who won the NBA slam dunk competition. It was an unconceivable dunk that he converted that year on the competitions. He jumped almost from the …
Vector Arms AK74u Airsoft Gun
The Vector Arms AK74u Airsoft gun is an amazing gun. It is a CPM(Compact Machine Gun). It is an awesome airsoft gun.
The gun has a very nice look to it. It looks exactly like the real gun. I wish the magazine was metal but the plastic still looks …
Rudy Gay
In the NBA, the draft is designed to turn the worst teams into first teams. The worse you do in a season, the higher the pick potential is in the draft. And for a team like the Memphis Grizzlies who have been really bad for a really long time, …
Chris Paul
Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets was designated as the point guard of the future for the NBA. He was selected as the fourth overall pick and he won the rookie of the year award that year. What i like about his game is the vision that his …
Wally Szczerbiak
Wally Szczerbiak may be the only person in the world (outside of his family who share the name) whom contains a name with two Z’s in it. I had to google this just now to spell “Szczerbiak” I had it “Sczerbiac” Close, but no cigar. With the name you …
Clive Potter’s Sil Lum Tao DVD
Wing Chun is probably the most popular style of traditional Kung Fu in the world today. In great part, this is because Bruce Lee studied the art in his teenage years. While the association with Bruce Lee certainly helped expand the popularity of the art, if Wing Chun did …

Pre-season American football in the NFL

Before the season starts, however, there …

Larry Hughes was a former all star who signed with the Cavaliers to help and play second fiddle to Lebron James. He has excellent mid range jumper and can convert on three point shots as well. Larry can also finish his gliding drives with flair and has good speed …
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, …
Liverpool Football Club
Whenever I catch a glimpse of Liverpool in action these days, I get a bit sad that one of our greatest rivals has succumbed to being reduced to an ordinary team, and as an Arsenal fan, contending with the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in addition …
Maria Sharapova
Tennis superstar Maria Sharapova who’s popular not only in tennis but also with her looks and her modeling career is not in the path of another Anna Kournikova. She has already won the Wimbledon and is currently one of the topn players in the world. She uses her length …

Desert Springs is much more than a golf course. It has a sports club ‘El Club Deportivo la Sierra’, situated next to the Crocodile Club. You can enjoy games of tenis and paddle, work out in the gym, compete with your friends at volley ball and play …
Capoeira
Since day one of enrolling in the Capoeira class, I have become hooked into this African-Brazilian fighting and survival tactic that mixes fighting, dance, and aerobics in one blood-pumping session. At first, I was a bit scared and insecure because from the what I saw on the floor, the …
Channing Frye
Two years ago, the Wildcats of Arizona had an incredible run in the NCAA division 1 mens basketball tournament. Among the players that helped them to succedd that year was the six foot eleven inch, all American center, Channing Frye. Channing is one of the more exciting big men …
Chad Johnson
There are elite receivers in the NFL. And, then there’s a tier that is slightly below that elite receiver group. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson falls into that group.
Johnson, at one point, probably could have been an elite player in the league. The problem is, his ego got in …
Juan Dixon
Juan Dixon who was saved by the Raptors from playing in Tel Aviv last year has been a productive player off the bench for Toronto this year.
The problem with Dixon that has probably hounded him for the majority of his career is the fact that his a bit undersized …
Shane Battier
More known for his defensive skills, Shane Battier has been a terrific find for the Houston Rockets. He was acquired via a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for Forward Stromile Swift. Battier is also a high percentage three point shooter whom both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady love to …
Chicago Bears 2008 recap
Being a die-hard Packers fan, I obviously am not a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. But, I will try to be objective when looking at their past season, which resulted in a winning record but not a playoff appearance.
Offensively, I think the Bears have improved from last year, …
F1 - 2009 Australian Grand Prix
To be honest, Formula 1 racing just isn’t my thing. I watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on, or if I’m particularly curious about something. It’s just that compared to NASCAR, F1 bores me.
The opening race of 2009 was in Melbourne, Australia. …
Damon Stoudamire
Damon Stoudamire of the Memphis Grizzlies is one of the most quickest point guards there was in the NBA. With age catching up with him though he has slowly declined and his contributions are lower than what they used to be. Still Stoudamire is a serviceable point guard at …

As a very dedicated and passionate football player and follower, I really think my input on various issues surrounding football is very valuable and objective.

Nenad Kristic
New Jersey Nets forward/center Nenad Kristic who was drafted out of Yugoslavia compliments well with the rest of the superstars the team has. With the trio of the best athletic players in the league and perhaps the history of the game(Carter, Jefferson and kidd)Kristic comes in and be the …
Barcelona v Real Madrid - El Clasico - 2010/11 Season
The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …

The commitment of the Detroit Pistons to finally have a bench play this year continues with Ronald Dupree. He has been around the Pistons for quite some time now and was never given any playing time before this season where he was surprised to have gotten the ticks early …

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 …

Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars enter this year�s playoffs as the #5 seed in the AFC. The reality is, if they played in the AFC North or AFC West, they would easily be the #3 seed behind the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.
The Jaguars are in the playoffs simply because …

Wrestling Observer
Dave Meltzer’s The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON) is a phenomenal source of information for all things pro-wrestling and the recent issue that covered the entirety of the bizarre murder/suicide case of Chris and Nancy Benoit was nothing short of amazing. Within its pages, there was a depth of …
Jim Bates
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, …
Sandy Sullivan
I’m not a huge fan of Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette. However, when his only election competition is a woman who’s only claim to fame is her alleged affairs with a few Green Bay Packers, he’s going to get my vote.
Sandy Sullivan has no chance of winning …
Wrestler: Abdullah The Butcher

Another piece for that blockbuster deal that the Timberwolves made in trading Kevin Garnett is in acquiring the rights to Ryan Gomes from the Boston Celtics. I heard that over the summer they like what they saw in him and was vital in their decision to make the move. …
