The New Orleans Saints have been through more in the last two years than most NFL franchises will have to go through in their entire existence. And still, some how, some way, they found a way to go to the NFC championship game last year. A lot of this …

The Green Bay Packers have a lot in common with the new wave of head coaches taking the league by storm. They’re young, inexperienced, yet everyone is willing to jump on their backs and let their fresh legs carry them to the promised land. This is true in Green …

OK, as glad as I was to see the Patriots lose in the Super Bowl, I was actually a bit disappointed for linebacker Junior Seau.
Seau is far from being the dominating player he was when he came into the league as a San Diego Charger. But, even after 18 …

Patrick O’bryant is the Golden State Warriors version of a pet project. He is a good seven foot Center who certainly has an upside in this league. He has good hands, speed and power to be a good contributor someday but as of now, coach Don Nelson and the …

I was lucky enough to have a really great seat for the Car Quest Auto Parts 300 Nationwide NASCAR race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on May 24, 2008 in Concord, North Carolina. My best friend and I picked up two tickets to the race just a few weeks before …

Brian is taking on the look of an impact player in Philadelphia, not only as a versatile back and exciting kick returner, but as one of the city’s most popular players. In 2003, he actually received write-in votes for the Mayor of Philadelphia, Supreme Court Justice, Superior Court Judge, …

My son and niece used to work at Camden Yards, Oriole Park and I would go with them to the games to assure that they arrived home safely. I had the opportunity to meet many baseball players during this period because I was always at the games.
I …

Injuries can change the scope of things in the NFL almost overnight. The Seattle Seahawks are the perfect example of this.
At one point, the Seahawks looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They had weapons on both offense and defense and still had a future Hall of Fame coach in …

More known for his defensive skills, Shane Battier has been a terrific find for the Houston Rockets. He was acquired via a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies for Forward Stromile Swift. Battier is also a high percentage three point shooter whom both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady love to …

The Orlando Magic offseason so far has been uneventful. During the ‘06 NBA Draft the Magic selected J.J Redick, a deadshot 3 point shooter from Duke university. The pick should be highly justified since the team in all likelihood will lose SG Deshawn Stevenson to Free Agency this summer. …

Well Saturday April 21st is the big day for my grandaughter Shelly, as this is the first year she has joined Little Leauge! She’s eight years old. I’m so proud of her for wanting to join a sport. I’m even more proud, because she wanted to buy her glove …

An up and coming youngster from Britain and a fading champion from Switzerland (in the eyes of most critics anyway) stood face to face at one of the grandest of stages in tennis with one itching to win his first ever career grand slam and the other, determined to …

I do play tennis once in a while. I am not really an expert but I think I love this game which to me is quite challenging. It tests my speed in movement and responding. Although playing tennis has been quite occasional to me, every time my …

After receiving multiple concussions in his career, it’s uncertain whethere the Miami Dolphins quarterback, Trent Green, will be back or not. He has been a journyman all his career, playing for multiple teams under harsh circumstances. His last success story was with the Kansas City Chiefs where he was …

I was never much of a hockey fan growing up as a child or as an adult, until I met my husband. I never used to watch any sports other than wrestling and that got old for me as I grew up. So, the idea of me liking a …

With my interest in the game of football (soccer) having a deep rooted base in all forms of the sport, from free styling to the conventional eleven versus eleven, full field version, exploring the indoor version of it at the Supersport Park Indoor Football Centre, made for a very …

The Green Bay Packers finally returned to their winning ways this year. It’s been a long time for wiley veteren Brett Favre. Since Mike Holmgren left the team, most Packer players and fans alike all thought the glory days were said and done. With Mike McCarthy only coaching his …

Men’s Super G, a part of the alpine skiing competition for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, was truly exciting to watch. As an American, I was thrilled to see Andrew Weibrecht do so well. He made a mistake up top, but recovered nicely and ended up …

It took the England cricket selectors much too long, in my opinion, to give Andrew Strauss the national captaincy (at least as far as Test cricket is concerned) on a permanent basis. When Michael Vaughan stepped down, Strauss performed pretty well in a tricky series against Pakistan, but was …

At the beginning of the year, I thought the 49ers would win the NFC West division. Half way through, it doesn’t look like that will happen. But, they are still improved over what they have been from the past couple years.
The move to Alex Smith at quarterback was a …

These paintballs are pretty good, and are definitely up to my standards. They’re good enough for tournaments, however I prefer different paintballs which cost about the same. RPS tends to make better paintballs, so I prefer RPS All Star and Marballizer paintballs as far as tournament play goes.
Evil paintballs …

When I think about Jim Bates, I think of a guy who had the potential to be a great defensive coordinator but basically blew his chances because he�s a big cry baby.
Bates ran dominating defenses on the Miami Dolphins and, in his one year with the Green Bay Packers, …

Jay Cutler is a young all pro quarterback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. I think that Jay Cutler is a one of the best quarterbacks in the league. This is why he is one of my favorite players.
What I really like about Jay Cutler is …

Ever since I started playing tennis, I’ve always used my old twenty dollar tennis racket I got from a local sports outlet. But when my tennis addiction grew, along with the skill of my level of tennis playing, my cheap old racket began to feel weak and brittle. Starting …

Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …

Justin Williams of the Sacramento Kings who is entering his second season out of Illinois must start to show what he got in his game to stay in the league. He has so far struggled from his rookie season and just hasn’t gotten himself going. I like Williams in …

Most recently known as the guy who helped Eli Manning and the New York Giants get to the super bowl, Plaxico Burress wasn’t always highly regarded as a hero. In fact, during his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Plaxico was tackled by a phantom after a catch, stood …

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 …

The Atlanta Hawks have never been much of a threat in the NBA. And since 2005, they haven’t made much improvement on their push over status. The hiring of head coach Mike Woodson was supposed to signal the start of something different. But with his combined record of 69 …

I was able to follow Mike Miller’s career when he was still in the University of the Florida Gators. Back then, it was pretty clear that he was destined to be a great three point shooter at any level. After playing just one year with the Gators, he decided …

The AFC West division isn’t the strongest division in the league and it’s reasonable to think just about every team in it has a shot at winning it. However, I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the likely exception to that.
I remember, way back when, the Chiefs were a …

The New England Patriots finished this regular season winning all sixteen of their games. This has a great deal to do with the entire organization as a whole, but more specifically, their off season acquisition in wide receiver Randy Moss. For his years with the Minnesote Vikings, Randy Moss …

One of the local golf clubs and course I like to play at is called Sherdons. It is located not far from Teddington, which is in between Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. It is about a ten minute drive from the race course at Cheltenham.
The Club has recently been …

The recent prized addition to the MLS’s New York Red Bull franchise is none other than former French National team standout Thierry Henry. In addition to his duty with ‘Les Bleus’, Henry has starred for English Premier League team Arsenal, and La Liga giants FC Barcelona.
A month …

Last year, the Arizona Cardinals surprised the league by winning the NFC Conference and advancing to the Super Bowl. They even came close to beating the Steelers to win it all.
Heading into this season, they obviously are going to be optimistic. But, they have several things working against them; …

I admit that I am not a boxing fan. Whenever my father and brother watch a boxing match, I never watch it with them. I haven’t seen any boxing match until last May 2, 2009 when professional boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fought Ricky”The Hitman” Hatton. The fight was called …

Oleksiv Pecherov of the Washington Wizards who is their version of a project has a great upside indeed. I really like the patience that they have shown with this player. Although i doubt that even your regular basketball fans will even know this player, in due time given the …

I am looking for a putter to compliment my all Nike set so I naturally started to look at the few Nike putters that were available at Golfsmith and came across this one.
The Nike IC 20-10A putter is Nike’s blade putter with no insert. It is their attempt to …

Probably one of the best shot blocking big man to ever play the game. He has great timing and before he had kidney transplant, Mourning was an unstoppable force in the middle. He owned an array of shots and abilities with either facing up or posting down low in …

The Tennessee Titans are starting to make vast improvements on their once losing team. They went to the playoffs this year in only Vince Young’s second season and will most likely also make it there next year. They have a host of young wide receivers which includes Mike Williams …

I go through golf gloves at an extremely fast rate, usually about 2 every year. I find they wear out in the palm very quickly, and I also rarely find one that is also comfortable for an entire 19 holes. The last time I golfed with a friend of …

Willie Green of the Philadelphia 76ers is a pleasant surprise for the team. I have seen him develop into the player that i’m sure former General Manager Billy King envisioned him to become. With the lack of firepower the Sixers are experiencing right now, Green has made himself into …

The NASCAR races at Infineon are typically fairly boring at least in my opinion. I have a hard time staying focused on the races that take place at the road courses because you don’t see a lot of racing going on. The drivers tend to play it safe and …

Beautiful Bobby Eaton is one of my personal favorite Tag Team wrestlers, being one half of the legendary Midnight Express. His best matches of course were in the tag-team division against all time greats such as The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express, which actually is one of my all time …

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 …

Jeff Green who was drafted as the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft by the Boston Celtics and was traded immediately to the Seattle Supersonics for Ray Allen is one of the better Rookies out there today. He comes off the bench for the Seattle Supersonics and produces …

Sebastian Telfair was a great high school basketball player. He was a legendary playground baller that resulted in his high pick in the 2004 NBA draft. He has the size, the speed and the power to be a force in the middle and from the perimeter as well. The …

The newest toast in town, the Boston Celtics. After their Acquisition of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in the off season. The Celtics have garnered as the overall leading candidate to represent the Eastern Conference this year into the Play-offs.
With Paul Pierce already in town and with the additions …

These paintballs really work fine as tournament and really high quality recreational paintballs. I can’t believe how cheap they are for their quality, however it’s something I’ve come to expect from Nelson paintballs. Nelson paintballs are about the cheapest as far as the quality of the paintballs go, therefore …

Every time i see Jamaal Tinsley play in the NBA he reminds me a lot of Mark Jackson who formerly played for Indiana as well. Both of them are great post up type of point guards who can dish out great passes as well. Tinsley, who is bigger than …
