The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.
One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …

While I like his leadership, I do think teams that are serious about signing former Miami Dolphins Linebacker Zach Thomas as a free agent are going to have to look at him very closely.
The former 5th round pick has been two 7 Pro Bowls. That’s great. But, he’s also …

Beno Udrih is probably the best European player that nobody’s ever heard of. Well, unless of course you’re an avid basketball fan like myself, or live in the Sacramento area where he plays for the Kings. The six foot three guard from Slovenia is among only a few other …

The Tennessee Titans are starting to make vast improvements on their once losing team. They went to the playoffs this year in only Vince Young’s second season and will most likely also make it there next year. They have a host of young wide receivers which includes Mike Williams …

When playing paintball, most people realize that the price of paint is extremely expensive. Seconds paintballs are definitely a good way to beat the price of paintballs.
Of course, seconds paintballs aren’t up to the quality of the other brands of paintballs being sold, and are therefore much cheaper.
Seconds paintballs …

Shareef Abdur Rahim of the Sacramento Kings was one of my all time favorites before. He was a very talented very versatile big man coming out of college for the Vancouver Grizzlies. He was selected as the third overall pick in a draft that was one for the ages. …

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 …

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 …

Red Bull Racing are, as I write this in the spring of 2010, a bit of an enigma when it comes to Formula One teams. By rights they ought to be streaking away with the world championship, since they have two extremely fast drivers in Mark Webber and Sebastian …

Billy Gunn, now competing in TNA under the name Kip James, is one of the most recognizable professional wrestlers from the WWF’s attitude era of wrestling for his gimmick ‘Mr. Ass.’ I was never a big fan of him myself as during the Monday night war era, I supported …

Tim Duncan probably is the NBA’s best player when healthy right now. He impacts the game in so many ways that he often contributes in the smallest of ways often unknown to himself. He creates open lanes for his teammates especially Tony Parker that leads to uncontested baskets in …

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 …

The General Manager of the Orlando Magic Otis Smith has done an admirable job in transforming the Magic this year. From a team having trouble of even making the play-offs last year and being swept in the first round against the Pistons to a title contender this year.
The trades …

I haven’t had many opportunities to watch Jay Cutler play quarterback before. But, after finally getting to see him play, I can tell you the comparisons to John Elway and Brett Favre are a bit premature.
Let’s face the facts; the guy has started 12 games. He has a 5-7 …

Kevin Garnett’s highly considered as the best player in the NBA today. Certainly in Fantasy leagues his often drafted ahead of James and Wade. What in my opinion sets him apart from these players is his enthusiasm and passion when playing this game. You can see the burning desire …

If you have someone in your family who is a Billiard fan, buy them a Newcastle 72� Billiard Table this Christmas. This is an absolutely fabulous pool table, and we bought it at our local Zellers department store for just $219.97CDN.
What attracted me to the Newcastle Billiard Table is …

I bought the O’neill Reactor convertible wetsuit in a sale 2 years ago as my previous O’neill wetsuit was now around 4 years old and starting to fall apart.
This wetsuit usually costs around £80 but only cost me £48 compared to my previous O’neill wetsuit which I paid around …

Rasheed Wallace has been T’d up three times since I started writing this. If anyone knows who this guy is, they know he is the undisputed reigning bad boy of basketball. The twelve year veteran out of the great North Carolina Tarheel program in the NCAA divison 1 mens …

I have to say that I did a lot of holding my breath during the Men’s 1000m short track event at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. This sport changes on a dime. One second you’re in the lead, and the next you’re sliding into the pad. …

The nine hole Par 3 golf course in Severna Park is one that may get some mixed opinions, depending upon the type of golfer you are. Personally, the first thing that I consider when looking for a round of golf is the price. I …

I don’t see any other point guard in the NBA having more of an upside than Deron Williams has for the Utah Jazz. I really like his game. He scores effortlessly from both beyond the arc and inside it. His leadership skills are already polished as well at a …

Matt Barnes of the Golden State Warriors is one of those players who has revived their careers playing in the NBA due to Don Nelson’s style of play. He was already a lost player after a dismal stint with the Sacramento Kings but he was still given a shot …

Ira Newble of the Cleveland Cavaliers is one of those veteran presence that helps a teams other young players develop in terms of character more than anything. He is in the mold of a Greg Buckner who helps a young team like the Cavaliers are develop into a contender …

Recently I have seen Mission M1 hockey sticks on sale in most hockey stores, is it not a coincidence that the M1 hockey sticks are also the ones I see laying broken in the trash? I think not. I have known 4 people who have experienced the poor quality …

In the NCAA mens division 1 basketball tournament last year, many had the Ohio State Buckeyes winning the national championship in a route. And with players like Greg Oden and Mike Conley, it’s easy to see why. The Buckeyes made it to the national championship game but lost to …

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 …

Jermaine O’neal of the Indiana Pacers started his career as a bench warmer for the Portland TrailBlazers. Drafted straight out of high School, O’neal saw very limited playing time with the Blazers the first four years of his career. After he was dealt to the Pacers though, he was …

Jameer Nelson, the consensus player of the year from collegiate ranks entering his first NBA season played with a chip on his shoulder. he was uncharacteristically drafted 20th on that ‘03 draft mainly because of his size rather than his ability. This is something that i think he played …

I am a huge baseball enthusiast and have almost made it my goal to go to every major league team to watch the play. Usually, I am extremely excited and can usually look over small kinks of usually a happy experience. However, it was a different story when I …

If there was a team on the rise in the East then i would have to say that it is the Charlotte Bobcats. Acquiring Jason Richardson on a draft day trade with the Golden State Warriors gave them that go to scorer who can create his own shots on …

Venus Williams is the elder sister of the Williams sister that ruled and dominated women tennis for many years. There was times when she along with her sister Sarina used to make to the finals of every major tennis tournament. She remained world no. 1 for quite some …

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 …

A couple of years ago, Javon Walker wanted to be paid like one of the best wide receivers in the league. The Green Bay Packers said no and, a year later, he forced them to trade him.
The Denver Broncos bit and paid him the money he was seeking only …

Washington wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas is another one of those highly scoring point guards. Coming out of Arizona University, he expected to be drafted at the early rounds of the NBA draft that year. Instead he landed at the second round. This has always been his motivation in …

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 …

Dirk Nowitzki is a NBA player and he has played for the Dallas Mavericks his entire career. I am a big fan of basketball and I love watching him play. In my opinion he has nearly everything that you can look for in a good …

Every once in a while, you have an NFL star come along that has plenty of talent and potential but just can’t seem to stay healthy and, eventually, the team has no choice but to part with him.
Packers’ cornerback Will Blackmon seems to be just that type of …

Miami Heat Forward Alexander Johnson is one of my favorite players who hasn’t showed up yet. He is really quite talented and he also got the body to be a very versatile forward in the league. In short he has all the tools necessary to be a really good …

The orlando Magic, the team that i have been following for the last fifteen years of my life. And probably for the first time since the Shaq and Penny era i’ve great optimism for them this year. With rashard lewis acquisition and The dominance of Dwight Howard, I’m expecting …

Not too long ago, I took a post-draft look at each of the NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers and discussed what I liked and disliked about each. Now that the teams have each played two games, I have a better feel for what they have to offer …

AmirKahn vs Breidis Prescott. It was the fight that was to see Amir Kahn face the biggest set back of his young career so far and also the fight which encouraged me to never pay the Sky Box Office to watch boxing ever again.
Since turning pro Kahn had developed …

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 …

I’m old enough to remember the controversy created when the Browns left Cleveland and became the Baltimore Ravens and the decision by the NFL to bring an expansion team to that city as a way to compromise.
Today, I wonder why they even bothered.
The Browns haven’t been in the playoffs …

Ultimate Frisbee is a glorious sport. I have played it for two years on my college’s club team. I was a total beginner when I started but it is easy to pick up the basics, though it takes years of dedication to master every skill and aspect …

Oleksiv Pecherov of the Washington Wizards who is their version of a project has a great upside indeed. I really like the patience that they have shown with this player. Although i doubt that even your regular basketball fans will even know this player, in due time given the …

The second oldest rookie in the NBA this year, Luis Scola who was drafted originally by the San Antonio Spurs and is now playing for the Houston Rockets after a summer trade that sent him there is probably a hidden gem. My prediction will be that the Spurs will …

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot to look foward to in the coming seasons. Besides making a brilliant change at quarterback and putting in the unflappable David Garrard, the Jaguars have also been busy in the off season, securing players that may very well secure their future. This past …

With golf being one of my pastime activities, as well as a perfect way for me to discuss business with potential clients and business partners, I like to come across as being in control of my game and on top of things in order to create a good impression …

US tennis superstar James Blake who has been experiencing renewed vigor with his game this season and a ressurection with his career is currently in the game’s top ten for the first time in his life. Blake is the highest ranked american in the ATP and is a considerable …
