Super Bowl XLIII is in a couple of days and I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to watch it (I might for the commercials). But, I can tell you one thing I definitely won’t be watching; the annual NFL Pro Bowl.
A few years ago, the Pro Bowl was …

Damon Stoudamire of the Memphis Grizzlies is one of the most quickest point guards there was in the NBA. With age catching up with him though he has slowly declined and his contributions are lower than what they used to be. Still Stoudamire is a serviceable point guard at …

For any team …

Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets is one of those NBA pure point guards that i really admire. He has these pass first mentality and an eye for the open lanes. What i like about his game is the fact that he’s never scared to turn the ball …

Zach Randolph whom the Knicks acquired through Draft Day trade this summer for Steve Francis and Channing Frye is absolutely a big addition for the squad. Randolph gives the Knicks two wide bodies in the middle with Eddy Curry playing the center position.

Toni Battie the back-up center for the Orlando Magic is a hustler who sacrifices his body and his game for the better of his team. He rebounds well with the minutes that he get and he can also defend on the post to counter the other teams best pivots. …

There are elite receivers in the NFL. And, then there’s a tier that is slightly below that elite receiver group. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson falls into that group.
Johnson, at one point, probably could have been an elite player in the league. The problem is, his ego got in …

The newest generation of Head rackets are the Metallix model. I bought one of these models, the Head Metallix 2 and i have to admit that one of the reason i bought this is because of it’s cosmetics. It looks really nice with its red and silver/gray trimmings. And …

Bo Outlaw has bounced around the league for quite some time now. I think his career really did start with the Orlando Magic for that Shaquille O’neal and Penny Hardaway era that they had. He was a vital player off the bench for that team. Since then he was …

Coming out of the NBA draft four years ago were some impressive young players who really had the basketball world buzzing. Among these players was Syracuse star, Carmelo Anthony and high school prodigy, LeBron James. With these two tremendous talents grabbing up all the hype, it’s not wonder a …

There is a famous Dennis Green quote “They are Who We Thought They Were,” said while he was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Halfway through their 2009 season, I feel this quote applies to the Detroit Lions who have only one win this season after being the first …

England had not made a great start to their World Cup campaign in South Africa, having drawn with the U.S.A they were under huge pressure to get a result. From a fans point of view this was usual England for me, promising lots and based on the first game …

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 …

A few months ago, I took the time to look at the Chicago Bears and said I felt they weren’t as good as they looked on paper. I think, looking at them roughly half way through the season, I was right about that.
During the off season, the Bears took …

Liverpool Football Club is one of the most famous names in football anywhere in the world, let alone just in its native England. For many years Liverpool was also the most successful club in England, winning league championships and FA Cups by the bucket load, and also achieving considerable …

The Green Bay Packers recently signed tight end Donald Lee to a contract extension. After seeing him play this year, I have to say it was a great move.
The Packers had entered the season appearing to be thin at that position; especially after David Martin signed with the Miami …

Any team drafting Brigham Young quarterback John Beck this season should do so with the realization he’ll have to sit on the bench for a couple of seasons before he’s ready to start a game. However, once he has time to develop, he should be a decent starter.
BYU runs …

Newly acquired Center for the Philadelphia 76ers is journeyman Calvin Booth whom they pried away from the Dallas Mavericks. I really don’t like his game that much. Or to say it in a more clearer phrase, he has no game. Booth benefits from the fact that he is a …

One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …

Joakim Noah came out of Florida as a two time collegiate champion. An impressive resume indeed to bring to the NBA. His calling card in florida has been his defense and his rebounding. The Bulls practically drafted him in anticipation of a slow decline in Ben Wallace’s game. At …

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 …

Nate Robinson became the shortest player to win the Slam Dunk competition since Spud Webb. He participated in the Competition and was average in my best estimation. For me he shouldn’t have won that competition. He had to do the final dunk 21 times before making it and watching …

The Kirkhill Golf Club situated in Cambuslang in Glasgow dates back to 1910 and is now making preparations for their centenary. I was a fully paid up member of the club for a few years but decided to give it up due to the expense. The subscription for one …

Known back in his homeland as the turkish shooter, Hedo Turkoglo of the Orlando Magic has all the attributes of becoming a bona-fide NBA superstar. For me, Turkoglo has the size at 6′10′, the shooting range and the talent to become an all star in the NBA. What i …

Remember the Titans? Well, National Football League quarterback Steve McNair does. They discharged him and didn’t even let him back on the property. That’s an awful thing to do to a quarterback who helped take you to a Super Bowl. Eventually McNair was picked up by the Baltimore Ravens …

Raef LaFrentz entered the league as the fourth overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft for the Denver Nuggets. And if truth be told, i was scared to death with this guys potential. Of all the comparative talks about who’s gonna be the next Larry Bird, LaFrentz was the …

Thanksgiving always means football, and this Thanksgiving weekend has been no exception. This Thanksgiving we got to see Texas A&M’s Maroon Out game, where they played longtime rivals University of Texas on their home turf at Kyle Field.

The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race just didn’t hold my interest today while it was on. The event was rain delayed for about 90 minutes, and it was a dreary day here as well, so maybe that had some subliminal effect on my reaction.
It could be …

Manu Ginobili from Argentina is probably the NBA’s best sixth man ever. He is a dynamic player who electrifies the arena once he gets inside a game. Playing for the San Antonio Spurs, he was one of the reasons the Spurs won it all last year.
Teaming up with …

Some sports are hard to enjoy over television, and in my opinion, cross country events are in that category. The Men’s 15km Individual for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics featured competitors from 50 nations. There were actually 96 skiers. It’s a timed race, with 15 seconds …

I have to say that I did a lot of holding my breath during the Men’s 1000m short track event at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. This sport changes on a dime. One second you’re in the lead, and the next you’re sliding into the pad. …
