Shaquille “the Diesel” O’neal is widely accepted as probably the most physically dominant player in NBA history. It’s not just that his big but how he uses his heft is how he becomes so dominant. Playing almost exclusively with his back to the basket, O’neal punishes his defenders with …

Jonty Rhodes is the best fielder world every produced. He is from south Africa. He was a useful middle order bats man from south Africa and contributed often an important occasion for the country. But he was always known for his brilliant fielding. He was quick as a tiger …

Just before preseason, I took a look at the Minnesota Vikings and thought they were an overrated team; especially since they didn’t have an answer at the quarterback position. Then they signed Brett Favre and are now off to a 2-0 start.
You know what, they are better than I …

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 …

Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns is one of the top tree forwards in the league in my estimation. In an offense like the Phoenix Suns, Marion’s ability to glide to the hoop and not need many set-up plays is very valuable. To be effective doesn’t need plays to …

Jerome James signing of the New York Knicks is one of the most stupid, dumb and outright disgraceful move of any General Managers in NBA history. Jerome James played for four years with the Seattle Supersonics and produced nothing in those four years except for a couple of strong …

Brett Lee is at present the fastest bowler in international cricket. The Australian has got superb pace that troubles batsmen all the time. He mixes his pace very well, varies in swingers that makes deadly combination. Earlier he did not had a good line and length but slowly he …

Paintball is a rather expensive sport, which causes even the most recent players to stop playing eventually, because they really just can’t afford to play all the time. In fact, your average paintball player only plays actively for about a year.
This is why most players tend to get …

The Heddon Supersonic lures, a great example of a item ahead of its time, and ultimately destined to fail. First introduced in the 1970’s, the Supersonics are a freshwater lure made in a large assortment of color schemes. Everything from basic black to shocking pink and everything in between. A …

Brian Scalabrine started his NBA career with the New Jersey Nets playing in that team that went to the NBA finals with Jason Kidd, K-mart, Kittles and RJ at the helm.
Scalabrine came off the bench and was a fighter. He often comes in to games knowing that his …

Most people remember Brandon Stokley from the Indianapolis Colts where he was a great third receiver for Peyton Manning’s crucial offense. Since signing a contract with the Denver Broncos, Stokley is proving that it is more than Peyton Manning that made him a good receiver. With Jake Plummer throwing …

Eddie Jones has always been a journeyman player. For thirteen years in this leage, Jones has been one of those borderline individuals who aren’t yet a super star, but are definitely not a wash-out. The six foot six guard out of Temple University has played for various teams including …

Going into the 2007 season, it looked like the Arizona Cardinals had finally turned a corner and were going to be a playoff team. Now that we’re half-way through the season, I think its obvious that they still are the same team they were last year; loaded with talent …

As part of the one/two guard punch for the Maryland Terrapins national championship winning basketball team a few years ago, Steve Blake was a surprisingly athletic player. The six foot three inch point guard did everything he could for Maryland to win that year, and the NBA scouts took …

I have owned a set of these for over a year now and they are awesome. They are the perfect ideal dumbbells that you can buy. They are small and easy to store and built tough so they wont break. They are perfect for helping you out with your …

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 …

Another piece for that blockbuster deal that the Timberwolves made in trading Kevin Garnett is in acquiring the rights to Ryan Gomes from the Boston Celtics. I heard that over the summer they like what they saw in him and was vital in their decision to make the move. …

It was my sophomore year of college, and after a previous year of using a brake-less $20 piece of junk bike I found off craigslist, 3 flats, 2 cracks decided that it was time to invest in a nicer bike for my daily mile commutes to campus. After …

Nene Hilario of the Denver Nuggets has been a disappointment ever since he joined the Denver Nuggets. He was drafted quite high on the rookie draft since the Nuggets and pretty much everyone on the league expected him to be a star someday. Coming from Brazil, Nene has all …

I remember Ahmed Johnson specifically for his short run in World Championship Wrestling in the year 2000 just after the original Harlem Heat had split up and he began teaming with Stevie Ray Huffman forming the new Harlem Heat while Booker T was on the run for a main …

When I look at the 2007 Minnesota Vikings, I am reminded of Murphy�s Law �What can go wrong, will go wrong.� The reality is, if the Vikings didn�t have bad luck, they would have no luck at all.
The defense is probably the only bright spot on the team. Or, …

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 …

This guy is one lucky guy. Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves who is currently dating Super Model Giselle Budchen and just signed a respectable 4 year $21 million deal with the team as well. Wow!! if that ain’t lucky then what is?
On the court though, i think he …

Last year’s fifth overall pick Raymond Felton of the North Carolina Tar Heels took quite some time to develop and be a contributer with the Charlotte Bobcats but late in the season has finally shown some progress to becoming a legitimate starting point guard in the NBA. He was …

Fantasy football season is approaching fast and, after some research, I have settled for NFL.com for my fantasy football league.
NFL.com offers free fantasy football, which is something that’s important to me since I don’t like to pay for something that is more of a thing to do when I’m …

Minnesota Timberwolves who owned the seventh overall selection in this years draft took university of Florida Gators standout Corey Brewer. Many projected Brewer as probably the next Scottie Pippen in the league. They both have the same attributes physically in the sense that they are both tall and lanky. …

Rogers may soon be a free agent since the Lions don’t seem to want to keep him on the roster. But, I think if he can stay healthy, he’s going to have an outstanding career with some team. He has good size, has decent hands and is very fast, …

This indoor climbing location is great. The routes change often, and there are always challenging things to try. There is a large bouldering cave as well as a practice wall.
For the beginner, there are training courses you can take. I took one, and it was an easy way to …

Every generation, something very special comes along and in the world of football, a special player comes along in each generation. One special player to speak of in my time of watching and being active in the sport of football is one Zinedine Yazid Zidane, the French master and …

Phoenix Suns Center Kurt Thomas whome they acquired from the New York Knicks on that Quentin Richardson deal is one fo the classiest guys on the league. He has won several community awards and acts like a true professional inside the court. Kurt Thomas also is very valuable for …

Mike Dunleavy who was also acquired through that trade from the Golden State Warriors last year along with Ike Diogu and Troy Murphy for Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson has played really well this year for the Indiana Pacers. His game so far this year has really been impressive. …

Let me say going in that I think the scoring for the Original Dance of the Ice Dancing event at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was pretty spot on. I can’t really complain at all about how the judging went down, except that I might question just a …

Favre is definetly one of the best QB’s in the league, or used to be. He still is a great quarterback no doubt about it, but he seems to be going downhill now in his career. He is one of my favorite players and I hate to say stuff …

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 …

I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …

Well, I’ll admit it, when the Minnesota Vikings started out their season, I never thought they would be the team to claim the competitive NFC North title. I thought the Packers would do it and, if not them, the Chicago Bears.
I’ll give them my congratulations but, even though the …

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered it’s worst season last year, not because of attendance decline or it’s record but because they traded away the player who was the face for that franchise for over 10 years. Allen Iverson whom they drafted as the first overall pick in the 1996 NBA …

After seeing the Packers playing Saturday, I came to two conclusions. They need to add veteran offensive linemen and the defense needs experience.
Judging from that performance, in which they only put up 3 points, I think it’ll be another long football season for them. However, they are young guys …

After the tragic Hurricane Katrina that severely hit the New Orleans Area, the team was temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City and with the National effort made to renew and restore New Orleans, the team should be expected to get back playing in front of their home crowd next year. …

Burnley were in the top flight of English football for the first time in 33 years. Turf Moor was their home ground and the venue for what was billed as a titanic encounter which Premier League Champions, Manchester United. Turf Moor was not a big stadium, but the fans …

The amazing feats of Michael Phelps in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, were amazing. Not only did he win 8 gold medals but he won those eight with a ton of pressure on his shoulders. Every single race he had, everyone was looking at him waiting for him …

I have always known Basiten Schweisteigger as a great player, from the first time I saw him play as a speedy winger for his German national football team in years gone by, but it was at the 2010 FIFA World Cup where his quality was confirmed with me.
I really …

There where reports early in the preseason that a fist fight between Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood erupted during a practice session when the two where going at it for the starting Center position. Unfortunately for Thomas he lost that job to Haywood when the doctors ordered him out …

The greatest single spectacle in the world, otherwise commonly known as the FIFA World Cup, is a very big part of my life, as a serious soccer fanatic and my life just comes to a halt every four years as everything about me is centered around the World Cup.
It …

An original pick for the Detroit Pistons, Jason Maxiel has turned into a reliable big man off the bench for Flip Saunders and Pistons. He comes into the game and immediately affects the game. He can score on a number of ways in and around the basket area. He …

Well, the New England Patriots finally lost a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago and, as a result, felt the so-called curse that happens to Super Bowl losers. The funny thing is the team is so well built, they almost beat it.
OK, show of hands here, when Tom Brady …

In the NCAA mens division 1 basketball tournament last year, many had the Ohio State Buckeyes winning the national championship in a route. And with players like Greg Oden and Mike Conley, it’s easy to see why. The Buckeyes made it to the national championship game but lost to …

Rojon Rondo the starting Point Guard of the Boston Celtics inherited a job that should be an envy to many. Task to quarterback the sparkling trio of Garnett, Pierce and Allen. The success of the Celtics will largely depend on the Contribution Rondo will be able to provide them.

Anon is the goggle brand from Burton. They create a big selection of goggles, among these the Realm which I bought. The Realm is a high end goggle with a great fit and an awesome design. It comes in many colors and with a wide variety of lenses.

If you’ve been watching NBA games in the past decade or so, then you probably know Bill Walton’s voice. I know, it is kind of annoying after about three words. But apart from being that pretentious, rhetoric spraying sports accouncer, he is also a few more things. He is …
