Darren McFadden is a young running back for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. Coming out of the 2008 NFL Draft, McFadden was viewed as the top running back prospect in the draft. I also thought that he was the best player at his position.
As the NFL …

The NBA used to be an all white league basically. There was a lot of fuss, just as recently as twenty-five years ago about the number of African American’s who were playing in the prestigious league. All that changed when the league got a grip and decided that if …

A few years ago, the San Francisco 49ers fired their head coach Steve Mariucci after he went 1-1 in the playoffs. They decided, at that time, he would never get them to the Super Bowl and, because of that, it was time to make a change in the right …

One of the key figures in that infamous November brawl at the palace of auburn hills that greatly shamed not just the league but the players involved as well, Stephen Jackson is a very temperamental player who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He constantly blames and ridicules …

The Women’s Super Combined is one of the sports I love to watch during any Winter Olympics, including this 2010 Vancouver one. Of course, it’s extra exciting if your country has a chance to win a medal or two. The Super Combined totals the times of one …

When the Eagles first signed Jeff Garcia as a back-up quarterback, my question was “why.”
After seeing him play filling in for Donovan McNaab Sunday, I still have the same question.
There is no way Garcia should be playing in the NFL, even as a backup. He no longer has the …

If you live in the Vancouver, BC area, or are visiting, and are a hockey fan, I highly recommend getting tickets for the Vancouver Giants, the WHL (Western Hockey League) team in the city. First of all, you will be overjoyed at the entertainment because this hockey is good, …

Julia Mancuso from the USA was the first to make the attempt down the hill for the Women’s Super-G event in the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver. This is the event where skiers don’t get to take any trial runs down the hill and only get to inspect …

Before I don’t like Kobe Bryant because he is too lazy in playing basketball. I used to see him as player who would always want to be on the center of everything whenever he plays basketball. You could see him score 50% of the team’s total points …

Despite their valiant effort against the New England Patriots that will send them into the playoffs with some momentum, I think the New York Giants will once against finish their season without a post season win, something that may once again cause fans to want a change at coach …

Former New York Jets and current Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herman Edwards is probably best known for saying the line, “You play to win the game!” in a press conference a few years back regarding his teams (The Jets) performance. But let’s not have that one comment, however …

Francisco Garcia of the Sacramento Kings is a type of player that any team in the NBA could use. He is scrappy, he hustles for the ball and he can also defend in three positions. I really like this player coz he does all the dirty work for the …

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 …

Brazil’s main man, Leandro Barbosa who plays for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA has unparalleled speed that favors his game with the suns. Phoenix often plays in a fast tempo game that suites Barbosa’s game. With the ball and streaking to the lane he is very tough to …

This was the race that I’ve been waiting all season long to see. It had excitement and crashes along with an ending that you had to see to believe. When the race started, I was just excited to see how the drivers would handle themselves on the track in …

Arranging such a fight had been as a surprise by many in the boxing world. First, pundits and fans were wondering whether he was …

Donyell Marshall whom the Cavaliers acquired through free agency three years ago has been at sporadic at times. He can certainly shoot the ball and can also be effective in the middle. Marred with injuries so far these year, Marshall has seen his playing time dwindle.
I did remember the …

I consider Theo Ratliff in his prime as one of the best shot blockers out there in the league second only though to Dikembe Mutombo in the modern era. Although he has aged now and is even having trouble staying in the floor due to various injuries, Ratliff can …

The consensus among most NFL observers is JaMarcus Russell will be the #1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. And, while I think he has the physical tools to be a pro quarterback, I have to question whether he’s mentally ready.
My biggest concern over the junior out of …

Jarvis Hayes of the Detroit Pistons started his young career with the Washington Wizards playing alongside the likes of Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. He has made some strides in his career in the NBA but he still generally lacks the overall confidence that will make him …

Yao Ming who currently is the tallest player in the NBA has the chance to be the leagues most dominant player this generation. At seven feet and six inches. Ming has the moves inside and the soft touch to be able to knock down open shots. Ming also has …

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 …

For me Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons is the best mid range jumper in the game today. He has great accuracy on those jumpers which he launches in a variety of ways. He often comes off of screen and rolls to get the open shots. Or cuts to …

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. …

Brian Kendrick is a great up and coming performer. He is currently wrestling as a cruiserweight, but from the matches I have seen him take part of in the past, his true talent lies in his technical ability. He was trained by Shawn Michaels, and it is obvious to …

It’s really hard to come up with the words to describe New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. On one hand, he’s a heck of a coach. He’s 3-1 in the Super Bowl, has turned the Patriots into an annual contender for the NFL title and, quite simply put, could …

I took the opportunity to try these shoes when I saw a barely-used pair advertised cheaply on Ebay. They came highly recommended by fellow-runners for their light weight and superb grip. F-lites are marketed as a road shoe but other users said they had performed outstandingly well …

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 …

Eddy Curry is an intriguing talent and some sort of a tease to his coaching staff. He has the body, the size and strength to be a dominant force in the League but has so far been limited to mediocre at best. He has a decent turn-around shot from …

Whenever I catch a glimpse of Liverpool in action these days, I get a bit sad that one of our greatest rivals has succumbed to being reduced to an ordinary team, and as an Arsenal fan, contending with the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in addition …

Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers has taken a long time to develop into a formidable player in the league. Slowly as it may seem though, he has in my opinion created a name for himself as a legit NBA player that can shoot the ball as a …

Hilton Armstrong of the New Orleans Hornets is a type of player that does everything possible in him to be in the NBA. He has very limited offensive skills solely depending on passes from Chris Paul and from tipping in missed shots off the offensive rebound.
But the fact that …

At the start of the year, I was certain this would be Coach Jon Gruden’s last year in Tampa Bay. He had an aging team and seemed desperate to find a starting quarterback; signing both Jeff Garcia and trading a draft pick to get retired quarterback Jake Plummer (who …

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 …

As a beginner golfer, I admit that I find the sport difficult and frustrating. One of my main frustrations is that because I am learning, I often feel rushed by the groups behind me. Another issue I have is that I don’t enjoy spending upwards of 5 hours participating …

When the Packers re-vamped their linebackers last season, the guy I didn’t expect to see starting was Brady Poppinga. However, I think it was a good move.
Poppinga is a decent-sized guy with good instincts and tackling ability. He’s able to get to the ball carrier quickly and is good …

I found this much too expensive for just casual wear, it’s price was valued at approximately $60.8 USD and I just couldn’t buy it because I would only be getting to wear it when I walk my dog or when I’m in a hurry to get dressed, which doesn’t …

Roger Mason Jr. who is another point guard for the Washington Wizards is a player whom they originally drafted in the rookie draft. I heard around the organization that they do like Mason Jr. and is grooming him to be their next starting point guard. They have taken their …

When the Packers brought in punter Jon Ryan last year, I found myself impressed with his leg strength and felt, with some work, he could round out to be a good punter.
After this past month though, I’m thinking it’s time for a change.
Ryan’s biggest problem last season is he …

When the All American Football League made Eric Crouch the 3rd overall selection in their inaugural draft, I had to laugh. Obviously this league doesn’t know talent at all because, despite his college success, Crouch is not someone you want if you plan on selling tickets.
Here’s the facts, the …

Plummer clogged up the Bears’ passing lanes in week 1 of 2003, when the ultra-gifted cornerback tallied two passes defensed and two picks, including a staggeing 68-yard interception return for a touchdown. He finished his remarkable compaign with 16 passes defensed. Ahmed certainly does know how to defend his …
