In my personal opinion, setting aside the element of bias that may creep in given the fact that I am a South African, the South African Cricket team affectionately known as the Proteas is the best the world of cricket has to offer. Sadly though, this is only limited …

Two years ago, the Chicago Bears were the team to beat in the NFC and were good enough to win a Super Bowl (though they ended up losing it).
This year, I really can’t see this team being anything more than a bottom feeder in the NFL.
I don’t even know …

In 2009, the NASCAR Bud Shootout Race has been changed, and I’m not sure it’s a good one. In fact, it just feels like one great big car manufacturer commercial.
In previous years, those participating in this very first race of the season were poll setters from the prior …

Detroit Pistons Head coach Flip Sunders has done an admirable job with the Pistons so far. Given the fact that the team does have a nice collection of superstar players. It is still pretty tough to coach this ultra ego guys and have them perform at a high level …

Ever since having a big game against the Green Bay Packers during the NFC Title game, Plaxico Burress is acting like he’s an elite receiver in the NFL. He’s far from it.
Burress is a decent number one receiver. But, he’s also seriously overrated. That’s why the Steelers, who drafted …

The outcome of this game will, obviously, depend on which side you were rooting for. I, as a Ravens fan, did not like this game.
Putting aside my own fandom, one thing everyone noticed was the insane amount of penalties. They actually managed to get over …

Well, …

Heading into the 2008 season, I thought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a legitimate playoff contender. Now I’m thinking they will finish near the bottom of the NFC South Division.

The Green Bay Packers are currently at 7-1 and much of the reason for that is the improvement shown by second year pro Greg Jennings.
Last season, mostly because he was playing hurt, I wasn’t sure just how fast Jennings was. He didn’t seem like much more than a possession …

When the All American Football League made Eric Crouch the 3rd overall selection in their inaugural draft, I had to laugh. Obviously this league doesn’t know talent at all because, despite his college success, Crouch is not someone you want if you plan on selling tickets.
Here’s the facts, the …

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.

Of all the head coaching candidates this coming off season, Marty Schottenheimer will likely be the most sought after.

Every once in a while, a very special player comes through the ranks of any given national football team, but for one to shine among a cast of stars in the form of the Brazilian national football team, is definitely something to write home about.
Ronaldinho, in my experience of …
