Mckenzie Town, Calgary, Alberta Skatepark
This is a small skatepark put up that is “temperary”. It is only there until the LRT tracks come, although this will not be for a couple of years, so skate away well you can.
The location of the park is nice. The next nearest skateparks in the south are …
Sam Cassel
Sam I am. 39 years old and still playing at a high level of basketball. I have to give credit to where credit is due. And certainly Cassel deserves that. At 39 and signed by the clippers 4 years ago to teach and foster their lottery pick and prodigy …
NFL 2009 WK 3: Steelers vs. Bengals
Steelers and Bengals put up a primetime worthy finish on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
The Bengals came into the game as a 1-1 team just coming off a upset against the Packers, looking to knock off the defending Super Bowl champs. Coming into this game, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Snowboard Cross
Women’s Snowboard Cross at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was quite fun. The qualifying was boring, but the heats were much more exciting.
France’s Claire Chapotot stalled out at the beginning of her quarter final heat that included Norway’s Helene Olafsen and Faye Gulini of America. Gulini didn’t …
South Africa VS Australia 438 cricket game
While soccer is my first love in terms of sporting codes, there is a very special place in my heart for cricket.
I really love cricket and as a South African I am relatively happy because my nation has a very good cricket squad.
With the exception of Australia, I think …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Freestyle Skiing - Men’s Aerials
The Men’s Aerials finals in the freestyle skiing sport of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was exhilarating. These amazing athletes ski upside down into flips, tucks, and spins that are barely comprehendible. They go anywhere from 35 to 50 feet in the air, twist around, tumble over …
Ricardo Isacsson Leitry Dos Santos Brazilian Soccer Star
When one talks of the world’s greatest players, certainly someone like Ricardo Isacsson Leite Santos comes to my mind, better known as Kaka.
During his rise to stardom though, when he was at the very top of his game with A.C Milan, I was quite surprised to learn that he …
Cannondale ST600 road bike
I bought my Candondale ST600 road bike used but the condition was like new. The ST600 is a road touring bike, meaning that it is built to carry heavy panniers for distances over 100 miles per day. I have not done any multi-day trips but I have …
Delonte West
Delonte West of the Boston Celtics who was drafted out of St. Johns University is an intriguing prospect. He played college ball as a good two guard with a great point guard in Jameer Nelson to give him the ball. But as he lacked the size to be a …
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 …
Nike Tech Elite Cart Bag
I am in the market for a Nike Golf Bag and honestly, I was very disappointed looking at what the company had to offer. I need a bag with ample storage, but mainly with a pocket that can hold shoes.
I found it with the new Nike Tech Elite …
Manchester United v Barcelona - 2009 European Cup Final
Being a sports fan is never easy, even if you follow a successful team, as I encountered when Manchester United faced Barcelona in the 2009 European Cup Final.
The year before, my club Manchester United had won the Premier League and European Cup double and they were 90 minutes from …
Zach Thomas
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 …
Squash
Squash
First and foremost, this game is for everyone, you don’t have to be young and fit, you can be any age, male or female. You don’t have to be rich to play, all you need is a pair of non-marking shoes and a racket, there are courts at …
2010 NASCAR Nationwide Stater Bros. 300 race
The Nationwide Series continued on February 20, 2010 with the Stater Bros. 300, held in California. Joey Logano had the pole, with his teammate Kyle Busch on the outside. It probably wasn’t a big surprises that this front row ended up in the heat of the battle …
Houston Texans
So far, the Houston Texans are looking like they will once again miss the playoffs, even with the addition of new head coach Gary Kubiak. However, I do see potential for this team in the future.
Starting quarterback David Carr has looked very impressive this season and is definitely benefitting …
Bonfire Radiant Snowboard Jacket
I recently bought the Bonfire Radiant snowboard jacket and after a few weeks use thought it was worthy of a review.
I bought this mainly to use for work as I work outdoors in all weathers I needed something that would keep me dry and warm while still being breathable …
Nike Victory Red Fairway Wood
These are Nike’s newest fairway woods. They accompany the new driver that was released in the Victory Red family.
Overall, I never quite see what the difference is in fairway woods. I feel that for the most part, they offer better control and I do not see much difference in …
Brad Johnson
Brad Johnson has been around the league for a long time and there’s a reason. He’s not someone who’s going to light up the field at quarterback and make highlight reels. But, he’s a solid quarterback who is very accurate and very careful with the ball.
Last year, he proved …
2010 Boston Celtics
The 2010 Boston Celtics stand out as one of the most surprising teams at the end of the season. While they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, no one could have predicted that they would make it that far. Kevin Garnett’s return to their play-off …
Ryan Grant
With the Green Bay Packers struggling to find a running game, I’m a bit surprised at this point in the season that they haven’t given running back Ryan Grant an opportunity to get more playing time.
A solid special teams player, Grant has had very few carries with the offense; …
Jason Terry
Jason Terry is the firepower off the bench for the Dallas Mavericks. Gifted with incredible speed, he often leaves his defenders in the perimeter using a variety of moves. He has perfected the art of head pumping, head fake and head and body shake that eludes him off of …
Joakim Noah
For Joakim Noah, escaping his father’s shadow was almost an impossible task. For those of you who don’t know, Joakim’s father is tennis legeng and french idol pop star, Yannic Noah. Though Joakim never aspired to have fame greater than that of his father’s, he did want to step …
San Francisco 49ers
At the beginning of the year, I thought the 49ers would win the NFC West division. Half way through, it doesn’t look like that will happen. But, they are still improved over what they have been from the past couple years.
The move to Alex Smith at quarterback was a …
Marvin Harrison
Harrison was already a standout wide receiver before Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James joined the Colts, but his numbers exploded in 1999 after the three joined forces. Blessed with supersonic speed and sticky hands, he finds ways to get open at spots all over the field, and when he …
NASCAR - Bud Shootout Practice #1 2010
There’s been a lot of changes to NASCAR over the off season and now the boys of thunder are getting back onto the track for the first time in official racing. Today two practices were held for the Bud Shootout, a 75 lap race broken into two segments.
I …
Josh McRoberts
Josh McRoberts of the Portland Trailblazers is probably one of the highest flying white man in the country. He competed in the Mcdonalds All American High School Dunk competition a few years back and man can he fly.
After many offers to go straight to the NBA, McRoberts decided …
Raymond Felton
The North Carolina Tarheels have always been one of the NCAA mens basketball programs finest teams. They produce talent on a consistent basis and have had very few players drafted to the NBA whom have disappointed. The Heels were home to the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael …
Mike Wahle
It’s interesting to see NFL Guard Mike Wahle continuing his career with the same coach he started his career with, Mike Holmgren. However, if the Seahawks think they are getting the same dominating lineman that left the Green Bay Packers a couple of years ago, they are mistaken.
Wahle is …
82games.com
Mad about NBA statistics? I am.. hehe.. Anyway, 82games.com is a website that offers probably the best statistics in the whole worldwideweb. For NBA fantasy league owners such as myself, there is no better site to check on a player or a teams statistics. I highly recommend this site …
Tippman 98 custom
The tippman 98 custom is one of the best paintball guns Ive ever had the pleasure to fire. I currently own a tippman 98 custom with a woodland camouflage finish and a CAR adjustable stock. I have been through alot with it Ive used it in the rain, snow, …
Tony Dungy
There’s probably no greater known and no greater loved and respected coach in the National Football League today then Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungy. The man is a pillar of faith over on the sidelines and to know about his life, and the strength the man has, is …
Samuel Eto’o Cameroon Striker
Now in all my football following exploits I have never ever come across a more under-rated player than Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and it really baffles me how the world keeps on misjudging the quality that is in Samuel Eto’s boots.
In my personal view, it is players such as Samuel …
Austin Croshere
I honestly do think that Austin Croshere is one of the wasted talents in the NBA. I really don’t know what happened to Austin in his stay with the Indiana Pacers which he played for the first seven years in his NBA career. The first time Austin played in …
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 …
Kevin Garnett(Minnesota Timberwolves)
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 …
Kim Clijsters
Belgian Tennis superstar Kim Clijsters has succesfully recovered from an ankle injury she suffered over three years ago and has been making waves again in the professional women’s tennis circuit. Lucky for her that she still owns one of the games biggest forehands that has become her bread and …
Manu Ginobili
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 …
Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger was a winner from the start, literally. Coming out of Miami of Ohio, Big Ben was the savior the Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping for. He set a record for games won by a rookie quarterback, and in only his second year, took the Steelers to the Super …
Andres Nocioni
Andres Nocioni who came as an import from Argentina shows a lot of promise on the latter part of last season. And thus far, he has shown improvement and consistency on his shooting. Which in my opinion was his weakest point early on in his career. He now consistently …
Jon Gruden
As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …
2010 Rossignol Harmony, Women’s snowboard
The Rossignol harmony 2010 is a women’s snowboard primarily made for the park. It is medium flex, with a thin profile making it a very forgiving board with great maneuverability. It is also true twin making it great for riding both goofy and regular. I paid 299.99 …
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the most brutal and hardcore wrestler’s to ever step into a ring. He is one of the worlds toughest fighters. Stone Cold Steve Austin does a great move called the Stone Cold Stunner that leaves his rivals on the ground. I like his …
Rahul Dravid
Rahul Dravid is right handed Indian middle order batsman. He is called as the wall as he plays some solid innings and gives lot of strength to Indian middle order. Dravid was very unsuccessful when he came out in international cricket in one day and he failed to …
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 …
Ben Gordon
The Chicago Bulls are turning out to be an extremely talented team. With help of players like the six foot three guard from the Connecticut Huskies, Ben Gorgon, they’re sure to turn a lot of heads on the road to success in the future. The baby Bulls are an …
The Philippine Basketball Association
I was first introduced to the PBA in grade three when I became a fan of Alvin Patrimonio and the Purefoods Team. Back then, my knowledge about the league is next to none and I seldom watch the games.
But when I was re-introduced once again when I was …
Brodie Croyle
Brodie Croyle was a great starting quarterback for the University of Alabama. Croyle was great throughout the entire season and helped his team along almost all by himself. Brodie’s teammates all looked up to him sort of as the team leader. If your looking for someone that can …
Michael Ruffin
Michael Ruffin of the Milwaukee Bucks is one of the most hardest working players in the league. His like this generations Popeye Jones.. Hehe.. Anyway, in terms of activity around the rim, i really like Michael Ruffin. his been around the league as well playing for contenders and pretenders …
