I’ve been riding horses for about five years now. And I’ve come to understand that riding can be a very dangerous sport. Around 20 people die a year from horse related accidents. That number may be small but no one can really say if they are completely safe or …

For a beginner golfer like me, it is difficult to find a golf course that is not intimidating, while at the same time, has nice scenery to make the experience somewhat enjoyable. (I say somewhat enjoyable because I do not find golf particularly enjoyable at the best of times). …

When it comes to physical skill, Culpepper has everything you want at quarterback. He’s got a strong arm, he’s the size of a linebacker and he’s able to scramble for yards.
However, throughout the years, he hasn’t seemed to grasp the mental side of the position.
I blame the fact he …

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 …

The Miami Heat who won the NBA championship against the Dallas Mavericks two years ago has gone from a legitimate contender to being a team on danger of not even making the play-offs. Although injuries and aging stars are at fault, i still can’t see them duplicating that championship …

Not too long ago, I took a post-draft look at each of the NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers and discussed what I liked and disliked about each. Now that the teams have each played two games, I have a better feel for what they have to offer …

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 …

I have never purchased a golf umbrella in my life before. Honestly, I did not know that they were any different than regular umbrellas.
That being said, the new Nike Victory Red Golf Umbrella is a very well crafted product. I bought the 62 inch version and this thing is …

With the New York Jets trying to figure out exactly what went wrong this past season, you can bet one of the future casualties will be former starting quarterback Chad Pennington.
In some ways, I feel Pennington is being turned into the scape goat for what was a horrible season …

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 …

Over the past few years, the Detroit Lions have been a joke. Each year, they draft the next big star only to continue to be one of the worst teams in the league.
This year, I think they may surprise a few people.
The defense hasn’t improved much in terms of …

Carl Landry of the Houston Rockets is more of a project for them right now than an instant contributor. I do like his game. He has a nice mid range jumper for a power forward. A nice stroke that with confidence will lead to a high accuracy in the …

Just as is the case with Ronaldinho, wathcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a bit of a sad case for me because I really feel as if he is one of those players who never really worked hard enough to realize his true potential as a football player. With Ronaldinho though, …

When I was a kid, I tried to like hockey, I really did. My uncle was into sports big time, and he liked hockey a lot. He took me to a game once, and I really wanted to enjoy it. The problem was, I just couldn’t follow …

New Knick guard Stephon Marbury the self proclaimed greatest point guard in the league today and as he said probably all time is much maligned in the new york media as he has been unable to deliver the Knicks to the promised land. Finishing last in the Eastern Conference …

Looking at their performance in this game, I still believe the Lions have the potential to surprise the division. Each of their 4 quarterbacks put points on the board and the defense did a decent job controlling a Broncos team that was in the playoffs last year and favored …

With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts select, Peyton Manning out of the University of Tennessee. Man, I can still remember those words. I graduated high school in 98 and played quarterback, and the one guy I looked up to and wanted to be just …

When the Packers traded last year’s star, Samkon Gado for Vernand Morency, my first thought was “who.” But, after seeing him play Monday night, I do think they got the better end of that trade.
Gado has potential to be a star in the right system. However, during preseason and …

NCAA mens basketball has always had some big named schools, this is especially true of the Georgetown Hoyas who have given the league greats like Patric Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson. There was a little known player in Georgetown during the days of A I, his name was …

Monta Ellis who won the Most Improved Player in the NBA a year ago has continued that progress and has become a legitimate scorer for the Golden State Warriors. I really like Ellis’s game, he can score in a variety of ways but the most amazing thing about his …

Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …

The Vancouver Canucks NHL team is certainly not the most successful team as far as winning Stanley Cups go; in fact, in their 80 year history, they have never won the coveted championship cup and have only made it into the final twice. Still, hockey fans in Vancouver and …

Malik Rose of the New York Knicks is one of those players in the NBA that has a great knack for the ball. He is a bit undersized for a power forward or a Center but can match up pretty well in either of those positions since he can …

Great for intermediate level players that aren’t ready for the big time sticks like the Flexpoint Prestige, Ncode 6.1 tour, etc., It’s a tad above the tweener rackets since it has more emphasis on control rather than the in-between game the tweeners offer. Used by many touring pros such …

For a fast player like me, the dynamics of a soccer boot used should fall within a specific range of design, with special focus on comfort, fit, style and even durability.
After spending hours and hours in within the confines of a specialist shoe factory, trying on all sorts of …

Orien Greene played for the Indiana Pacers last season in 2006-07. He was really the only player on the team that knew how to play man-to-man defense and play it well. His number was #0 as it was on the Boston Celtics. The Pacers did not play him very …

To me Andray Blatche of the Washington Wizards is the most improved player of the season so far. I know that a lot of people will argue a case for Dwight Howard or Azuibuke of the Golden state warriors but to me the player who has shown great strides …

Last year, the Atlanta Falcons made a coaching change and ended up winning their division. This year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are doing the same thing in an effort to repeat their rival’s success.

I will admit, I was very surprised when the Buccaneers suddenly fired …

I bought this cleats late last year. I have been using this whenever I play soccer. This costs around 90 USD. I checked the website it is exactly 90 USD but the retail shop where I got this gave me a more expensive price.
