Joakim Noah came out of Florida as a two time collegiate champion. An impressive resume indeed to bring to the NBA. His calling card in florida has been his defense and his rebounding. The Bulls practically drafted him in anticipation of a slow decline in Ben Wallace’s game. At …

Nate Robinson became the shortest player to win the Slam Dunk competition since Spud Webb. He participated in the Competition and was average in my best estimation. For me he shouldn’t have won that competition. He had to do the final dunk 21 times before making it and watching …

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to love those high school players. A lot never live up to their full potential, and on average you will probably only find one playing per every four teams in the league. But that’s not even close to the case in LA. The Lakers …

This past Monday, I got my wish and, after seeing some extensive playing time from him, I have a better …

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson or more widely known as “the Answer” was nearly traded last month to the Boston Celtics. If ever there was a mold for a high scoring guard then he is the ultimate example of one. Held the league scoring titles multiple times, AI is …

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 …

Who would have thought that 20 years after my first experience of a World Cup Final, that we would be faced with a very similar scenario. Back in 1990 I was 8, fortunately my son was only 5 and so he didn’t watch this final like I had 20 …

We bought our Bell Helmets 9 years ago. They fit very well and make my head feel very protected. It’s comfortable except for when it’s hot outside, then it gets very hot and stuffy!
Bell recommends that you allow the helmet to air dry after each use before you store …

There’s only one reason B.J. Sander is on the Packers roster after two disappointing seasons as Punter. Former Coach Mike Sherman refused to give him any competition for the spot because he didn’t want to be wrong about using a 3rd round choice on him. If it weren’t for …

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 …

Viktor Khryapa came into the Bulls together with Tyrus Thomas in that Draft day deal with the Portland Trailblazers for the right to the second overall pick which later they used to draft Lamarcus Aldridge. Khryapa will eventually become a good player for the Bulls. The only problem is …

It’s hard to draw any real conclusions from a team scrimmage (I’m reserving final judgement for preseason) but, from what I did see, the team looks much sharper than it did at this time last year.
Brett Favre was very accurate during the scrimmage and even managed to throw for …

Philadelphia 76ers Center Samuel Dalembert who hails from Haiti is one of the most intimidating presence in the middle defensively in the NBA. he has those long arms that can reject a shot to the fifth row. He also has the instincts and the ability to detect when an …

Victor Chandler Poker, a member of the iPoker network, is by far my favorite poker site to play on. It has a sleek design, competitive but not great players, fast payouts, and excellent staff.
The interface looks nearly identical to all of the other iPoker network sites, so it should …

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 …

With the Case of Luke Ridnour who was formerly the starter for the Seattle Supersonics, it is a change of fortunes for him. After being invited in the training camp for the Senior Men’s US national team, Ridnour has been in a downhill ever since.

Juwan Howard of the Dallas Mavericks came back to them after he was released by the Minnesota Timberwolves after they traded Kevin Garnett. I consider Howard as one of the model citizens in the NBA. He is some sort of like a spokesperson in the league and is one …

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 …

Afa Anoia, anyone who is a fan of wrestling has heard of this famous name as one of the most recognizable in our sport. Afa Anoia Jnr is of course the Son of Wild Samoan Afa.

I like this guy Stephen Graham of the Indiana Pacers for the very little playing time that he has gotten so far. When he is in the game he makes a bit of a difference with his ability to get into the lane and be aggressive. What i …

Shopping for golf clubs can be an intimidating experience. Golf clubs are an extremely personal and important purchase-after all, they need to make your game better, or why buy them? As there are new technologies coming out all the time, staying up to date on the latest choices is …

Now this is a face only a mother can love. Mike Dunleavy Sr. reminds me of Kevin Spacey if he let himself go, got hit my a train, and started going bald. No, all kidding aside, Mike Dunleavy Sr. is an incredible coach in my opinion. Not that he …

Josh McRoberts returned to his home state of Indiana in a trade between the Indiana Pacers and the Portland Trail Blazers. While he isn’t a very big player on the Pacers, he’s the model of what a deep bench player should be. First off, he brought some fans in …

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 …

Wally Szczerbiak whom for the rest of this review will be calling Wally as it is so damn hard to spell his last name started his career as a sidekick to Kevin Garnett for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He even made an all star team in doing so and was …

Good looking, complete tecniques, humble, and unmatched. These are the my first impressions when I saw Roger Federer, the most winning player of grandslam championships in the history of tennis. Collecting 15 grandslam titles in the just 6 years, made him the most tremendous  tennis player in the history …

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 …

If you were to look around the National Basketball Association today at all the different teams and players, you would notice a trend. A lot of the best teams have a shorter player playing down in the paint. The Utah Jazz are up on this trend and have a …
