At one point, I thought Packers running back Vernand Morency could turn into a starter and a steal for the team. Now, I think he’ll be lucky if he’s still around next season.
Morency possesses decent speed and showed some flashes of greatness as a back up to Ahman Green …

The more I watch Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson play, the more I think he’s going to end up being a waste of a second round pick.
Running backs typically start showing their skills immediately at the NFL level because it’s a position that relies almost solely on instinct. …

I have to admit, the Baltimore Ravens hiring of Eagles defensive back coach John Harbaugh was definitely an unexpected move. I’m not sure if it was a great move though.
The problem with the Harbaugh hiring is the fact I really don’t’ know all that much about him and I’m …

Now that Mike McCarthy’s second season with the Packers is officially done and he’s set to sign a 5-year contract extension, it’s time to take a few minutes and grade his performance.
What he did well: To start, I think McCarthy did a heck of a job adjusting when the …

When the Packers brought in punter Jon Ryan last year, I found myself impressed with his leg strength and felt, with some work, he could round out to be a good punter.
After this past month though, I’m thinking it’s time for a change.
Ryan’s biggest problem last season is he …

After the year he had last year, one that resulted in him being knocked from the playoffs and then having to hear rants from his former running back, I’m glad Tom Coughlin finally has a shot at the Super Bowl; even though it came at the expense of my …

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 …

Sorry, Cam. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been so disappointed as watching the Miami Dolphins struggle to win a game this year. I really didn’t think they’d win even one. And personally, I was rooting for them to lose them all! But the guy I …

Recently let go from his head coaching position for the Baltimore Ravens, coach Brain Billick is the most deserving head coach released this season. Regarded as an “offensive genius” his Ravens team managed to be among the bottom of the offensive production head for every year he was …

Ever since 2001 I’ve had an intense hatred for the New England Patriots. I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, so I’m still terribly upset over Tom Brady’s fumble in the 2001 playoffs that cost the Raiders the game. Out of all the Patriots, none make me more …

Tom Coughlin has got to be one of the meanest guys I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d hate to run into him in a dark alley somewhere. But, who knows, maybe the guy is really a big teddy bear. I know… I doubt it. But he has had …

I just got my membership at the Country Club, so I needed a set of golf clubs that had style. The Distance Master Red 17 Piece Men’s Complete Set of clubs are just as gorgeous as they are functional. A lot of golf is a mind game, and having …

So I recently tried out the KSix-One Tour 90 raquet on an open day at my local tennis club. The raquet is the same as used by world number one tennis player Roger Federer. As I approached a practice set with my playing parter I decided to use the …

Now that Tony Sparano has been named Miami Dolphins’ head coach, I have to question the decision a bit.
Not that Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s doing when he hired his former assistant coach, it’s just Sparano might be a bit overrated because he really hasn’t accomplished a whole …

Following the end of the 2006 season, the Atlanta Falcons parted ways with their coach Jim Mora. I thought it was a mistake then and still believe that now.
Mora, now an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks, was a decent coach who managed some success in Atlanta despite the fact …

As much as I like Tony Dungy, I do think he’s getting to the point where it is time for him to retire.
Dungy is a player’s coach. He’s serious but not so serious where his players don’t like him. But, his good nature is something that makes the hardships …

When I think about Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, I think of a guy who is a great motivator and a decent play caller; though he isn’t very creative.
Holmgren has a knack for developing quarterbacks. That’s why he’s managed to take two teams to the Super Bowl and win …

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. …

Now that a couple of teams are seeking a new head coach, former 49ers and Lions coach Steve Mariucci’s name will likely come up as a candidate. Teams should shy away from him.
Mariucci isn’t a horrible coach; his record with the 49ers proves that. But, the teams that are …

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Cam Cameron becomes the latest coach to find himself unemployed.
After finishing 1-15 this season, I highly doubt he’ll land another head coaching job any time soon. But, as an offensive coordinator, he’ll be valuable.
Assuming Marty Schottenheimer returns to coaching this year, don’t be surprised to …

A few years ago, I couldn’t think of any receiver that would be a better fit for any team in the league than Marvin Harrison. Today though, I think he’s a guy who will soon be seeing his final games in the NFL.
Harrison has great hands, decent speed and, …

There was a time when I thought Randy Moss was the guy most receivers would have to compare themselves to. He seemed absolutely unstoppable and, at one point, looked like a receiver that could make any quarterback look good.
Over time, I’ve come to learn that isn’t the truth. Yes, …

When the Cincinnati Bengals chose to keep Marvin Lewis as their head coach, I’m convinced it was more because they didn’t think they could find anyone better than him actually being the right fit for the organization. I think they are waiting to see if Bill Cowher will be …

When I think about the elite receivers in the league, Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens is always one of the first to come to mind.
Owens no longer has the big play speed he used to have. But, he does have one advantage many receivers around the league don’t, height. He …

It never fails, the second some team has a great season, everyone wants to rob them of their assistants. Sometimes this works out, other times, they end up flopping.
As much as I like Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, I think he’s going to be one of those guys …

The teams that fired their head coaches this year weren’t much of a shock. What was more of a shock is the fact the Kansas Chiefs didn�t make any changes, at very least at General manager.
Let�s face it, this team is terrible; even worse than their record indicates. They …

Of all the head coaching candidates this coming off season, Marty Schottenheimer will likely be the most sought after.
Schottenheimer has never won a Super Bowl. In fact, he hasn’t had a great post season record; which is why he was fired by the San Diego Chargers. But, he’s …

Now that the Ravens are in need of a head coach, let’s take a look at what the new guy in charge will inherit.
The Ravens are about 7 years removed from a Super Bowl title. The dominating defense that won them that title grew old and most of the …

One of the names you’re going to hear tossed around a lot as teams seek out their next head coach will be Bill Cowher. And, I think he’s a guy who would bring credibility to any franchise. However, I think teams will have to look long and hard at …

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 …

I love my Beval Butet Close Contact saddle. It is, by far, the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever ridden in. Beval makes several outstanding saddles, but the Butet is my favorite. It’s no lie that the Butet’s leather is as soft as butter. Even brand new, this saddle came …

Professional’s Choice Ballistic Overreach Boots are bell boots that offer your equine superstar superior protection from overreaching. Overreaching occurs when the horse steps so far underneath himself that his back hooves hit the front hooves, causing injury and pain. I have a horse who overreaches, but I will use …

I had the opportunity to use and ride in a Wintec 2000 All Purpose saddle for a while. Many people use the synthetic Wintec saddles and those who have the 2000 All Purpose love its comfort and low maintenance. I tried the Wintec out for about four months, and …

With the New York Jets trying to figure out exactly what went wrong this past season, you can bet one of the future casualties will be former starting quarterback Chad Pennington.
In some ways, I feel Pennington is being turned into the scape goat for what was a horrible season …

After yet another losing season, the Detroit Lions decided to make a major change to turn their fortunes around�.they fired their offensive coordinator. Give me a break.
How many lives does Lions general manager Matt Millen have? Don’t get me wrong, as a Packers fan, I’m glad he’s calling the …

The Newest addition to the Wilson line of tennis rackets are the K factor version. And same as with the older versions like the Ncode and the hammers, they’ve made a players racket that is more than anything a control oriented racket fitted for the better, stronger players out …

The Head Liquidmetal Rave mid plus tennis racket is the racket of choice for my brother which has resulted in his great play last year. My brother and I have tried over 75 different tennis rackets in search of the perfect one for us and along the way we …

The Head Liquidmetal 2 Tennis rackets is one of my favorite mid plus sized tennis rackets out in the market today. It has a very cool design as well with a yellow trimmed with silver/gray in the sides and a black handle. With a head size of 106 square …

Going into their game against the Detroit Lions, I had doubts about whether or not the Green Bay Packers deserved to be the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. But, after they destroyed the Lions, despite not starting a half dozen of their starters and pulling the rest before …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers surprised me this year. They are an aging team and I thought the age would catch up to them. But, in an NFC South division that is in turmoil, they have managed to find their way to the top and make the playoffs again.
The defense …

Despite their valiant effort against the New England Patriots that will send them into the playoffs with some momentum, I think the New York Giants will once against finish their season without a post season win, something that may once again cause fans to want a change at coach …

Considering they won the AFC North title, you would think the Steelers would be a favorite to get past the first round of the playoffs and even surprise higher seeded teams.
I don�t think that�s the case. I think they were lucky to make it into the playoffs but …

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 …

While the Seattle Seahawks enter the NFC playoffs as the 3rd seed, I have to think they are entering as one of the weaker teams in the post season.
The Seahawks were able to dominate their division but there aren�t many teams in their division with more than a few …

When safety Sean Taylor was murdered and quarterback Jason Campbell was injured a short time later, I figured the Redskins season was pretty much over with. However, something happened. They started playing like a team determined to do something great and overcoming a lot of obstacles.
The Redskins enter the …

When the Chargers started the 2007 season, it looked like they made a huge mistake firing Marty Schottenheimer last year. But, as the season progressed and the team got more comfortable with Norv Turner, I think they will once again be a dangerous team in the AFC playoffs. Granted, …

Of all the teams entering the AFC Playoffs this coming weekend, the Tennessee Titans are the one I think has the least chance of advancing past the first round.
While the Titans have managed to win three in a row to clinch the final wild card spot, their last game …

Tiger Woods is my favorite golfer of all time. I don�t typically watch golf but Tiger Woods is the type of person that if you watch him for a few minutes he will inspire anyone. He is a shining example that anyone can achieve the American Dream with some …

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 …

Quincy Douby of the Sacramento Kings is entering his second season and has shown some positive strides in the league so far. I admire the fact that he is a very hard worker on and off the court and as i heard even on the practice sessions he is …
