With the exception of Australia, I think …

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 …

The Detroit Lions went 0-16 last season and were considered the poster child for terrible franchises. I think that isn’t correct at all. I think the poster child should be the Cleveland Browns.
Years ago, Cleveland lost the original Browns (now the Baltimore Ravens) and got them back as part …

Ike Diogu is the former Arizona State University foward. He’s only been in the leage for two years, but already he’s made it his permanent home. The way he explodes when he plays, it’s a lock that he’s not going back to the minors, so the speak. The six …

When it comes to the San Antonio Spurs prized backup shooting guard, Manu Ginobili, I’ve found myself with egg on my face a few times. The first time, I confused his last name, Ginobili, with an Italian name and assumed that’s where he hailed from. The second time, was …

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 …

The most amazing aspect of this race was the unexpected, and no, I don’t mean in the racing. Part of the asphalt track deteriorated so much that they stopped the race to repair it. The red flag came out with 78 laps to go, prompting a delay …

Of all the teams which are competing at the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the one which I am most intrigued by is North Korea - or “Korea DPR” as their management team insists everybody should refer to them. Of course, at least part of their attraction is in the …

Last year, I thought the St. Louis Rams were a team that was ready to make that next step and actually surprise people. I didn’t think they would be a playoff team. But, I also didn’t think they would end up near the bottom of the league once again.

Edgar Sosa is a 6-1, 175 pound Junior point guard from New York City playing for the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He is the team’s most emotional player. Most fans either love him or hate him.

Right now as a rookie for the Milwaukee Bucks, Yi Jianlin has so far looked so pedestrian to me. He certainly got game but it will need at least a good 2-3 seasons before the Bucks will fully reap the benefits of drafting him with a top 5 pick …

Great for intermediate level players that aren’t ready for the big time sticks like the Flexpoint Prestige, Ncode 6.1 tour, etc., It’s a tad above the tweener rackets since it has more emphasis on control rather than the in-between game the tweeners offer. Used by many touring pros such …

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 …

Now that he’s been fired by the Detroit Lions, former head coach and Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz should be a hot commodity for teams looking to boost their offenses.
Even though Martz had some success as a head coach, I do believe his strength is as an offensive coordinator. …

Michael Redd of the Milwaukee Bucks for me is one of the deadliest outside shooters in the league if not in the history. He has one of the prettiest form in that release of his that is fundamentally perfect for the shooting motion.
When he first came into the …

The Jaguars are in the playoffs simply because …

I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …

After the New England Patriots won a few Super Bowls, they thought it smart to get rid of the players who helped get them there and rest the weight of the world on Tom Brady’s shoulders. This was a pill hard to swallow for Deion Branch who was reportly …

I can’t say too much about Bruce Bowen without becoming completely infuriated. He is a six foot seven small forward out of Cal State Fullerton who currently plays with the San Antonio Spurs. He has played eleven extremely dirty and rule breaking years in the National Basketball Association. And …
