I really enjoy the short speed skating events. They are fast and exciting. It’s pretty easy to follow, and there’s the element of suspense the closer it gets to the final racers.
Women’s Speed Skating - 500m in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics involved two runs. The …

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 am now 32. For the last 12 years I have been muntering up and down golf courses the length and breadth of the land and frankly things didn’t really get much better.
Oh don’t get me wrong, on occasions I managed to play quite well (got …

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …

With the acquisition of Brett Favre at quarterback, many people might think the New York Jets have finally taken steps to become a legitimate AFC playoff contender. I’m not so sure that’s the case.
Favre does provide a legitimate upgrade over Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemons both because he has …

Zydrunas Ilgauskus of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a unique player for his size. At 7-3 tall, Ilgauskus has the soft skills including hitting the jumpers, creating opportunities around the rim with jump hooks and spin moves. His also a very good offensive rebounder for the Cavs since he uses …

2006 Score Select is one of the best brands of cards that you can get. I love my Vince Young, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and A.J. Hawk rookies. I believe that this brand is worth a lot more than you pay to buy a pack. My opinion is that …

I really don’t know how this team came to it’s downfall. Four years removed from being serious title contenders in the West when they had magnificent starting line-up of Webber, Divac, Bibby, Stojakovic and Christie. Mike Bibby is still running the show with old holdovers in Brad Miller backing …

Pat Garrity of the Orlando Magic is one of the best shooters in the game today. The only problem is that’s about the only thing he does on a basketball court. He contributes very little on other aspects of the game and his vigor to improve himself has slowly …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad.

The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …

Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Childress who sports a dynamic hairdo has slowly made the transition from a magnificent collegiate career to a respectable career in the NBA. Childress’s game early in his NBA career was a bit too erratic and at best mediocre. But with the additions of other …

After watching the Oakland Raiders through 4 games this season, I think it’s time for the NFL to force Al Davis to give up his ownership rights to the team.
In an era of parity, Al Davis has put together a team that has a better chance at getting the …

When people think about NFL quarterback Joey Harrington, he’s usually lumped in the large class of first-round busts. But, I think he gets more criticism than he deserves.
