The Detriot Lions are somewhat of a sad commentary in sports. Nothing they ever do seems to work out. Now this has been blamed on everyone from head coaches, quarterbacks, front office management to a fan in the parking lot of the stadium. One thing all of Detriot’s failures …

While the tactical standard of African football is generally behind that of the Europeans, the technical ability and skill levels of the players, I think, is evidently superior.

To summarize my experience at Bally Total Fitness in West Covina requires only one word: Disappointing.

Michael Doleac of the Minnesota Timberwolves is a solid back-up Center who started his career with the Orlando Magic as a high first round pick for them. And in that sense that he is a first round pick i think he will be considered a disappointment in the league.

When the Packers named Jarrett Bush their Nickel Back, I had some serious concerns about the position. And, through the first few games of the 2007 season, I had plenty of reason to doubt he was the right guy for the job.
But, as he�s gotten more experience, I have …

When Todd Bouman was playing as a back up quarterback for the Vikings, I never once thought I would ever see him as a Packer. However, when Green Bay signed him last week, I thought it was a great personnel move.
Bouman is never going to be a full-time starter …

Smith is an explosive receiver who will burn defensive backs that give him too much room to operate. He reached the end zone 22 times in the years from 97-99, and he also gained 1,000 yards for the third straight time in 1999. Smith also made it three consecutive …

Lamar Odom loves Los Angeles, there’s no doubt about it. I don’t think he wants to call anywhere “home” unless it’s the Staples Center. Why do I think this? Because after playing for the less popular of the two LA teams, the Clippers, Odom then moved over and signed …

Charlie Bell caught my eye when he was playing guard for the Michigan State Spartans. This was only three short years ago, so I can remember him like it were only yesterday. Though he’s been drafted by and playing with the Milwaukee Bucks organization since then, I think i’d …

For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …

He started his …

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