With the Olympics weeks away, The United States National Figure Skating Championships were held in January 2010, and I have a few comments about all that went down.
First up, Sasha Cohen, who after four years away decided to make a big comeback, though she had done virtually nothing to …

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 …

The Seattle SuperSonics really have fallen off the grid in these past few years. Losing their only two real super stars long, long ago has seemed to cost them some credibility with the fans and other teams alike. Head coach P.J. Carlesimo doesn’t seem to be bringing that back. …

In professional wrestling, the words great and greatest get thrown around a lot. Some proformers achieve greatness in their careers, but few ever get considered to be the greatest of all time. Ric Flair, who began his career in the 70’s, and only retired in 2008, is definitely one …

I have been a personal fan of Chuck Palumbo since I saw his debut in the old and now defunct World Championship Wrestling. Chuck was apart of an ‘evolution’ and ‘new school’ based Faction called the Natural Born Thrillers along with Shawn Stasiak, Sean O’Haire and Mark Jindrak, all …

I have to admit that i didn’t even know Charlie Villanueva when he first enter the league playing for the Toronto Raptors. But with the big rookie season that he had for that team, as an avid NBA fan, i started taking notice at once. Eventually he was a …

“One” brand Thai pads for kickboxing and other martial arts and self defense training are some of the best pads (especially for their cost) that I have used in my experience. These pads typically are available in a black/red style with double straps along the back. One strap is …

Over a decade ago, Virgina Union had a nasty player in their mens basketball program that they knew was a phenominal player. Unfortunately for teams of the NBA, they found out about him too late. Ben Wallace is probably the best all around low post defender in the last …

Raja Bell is one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league. Night in and night out he goes after the opposing teams most dominant player and often Bell does the job. He has a solid body and a good speed that allows him to stay on his feet …

Miami Heat’s power forward Udonis Haslem whom they drafted out of University of Florida is probably the teams most consistent and healthy player. He barely misses any games and averages almost a double-double every single game night. For a power forward he has a legitimate stroke from the perimeter …

If the Bears repeat as NFC North Champs this year it’ll be because they play in a weak division, not because of anything they did over the offseason.
The Bears defense is going to scare teams and I expect it to rank in the top 5 this year. However, they …

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 Men’s 30k Pursuit at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics proved to be quite the surprise. This event starts out with four laps of classic and then four laps freestyle skiing.
Through the classic style, it was amazing to see all four of Canada’s team in the lead pack. …

Dallas Mavericks acquired Jerry Stackhouse for that antawn jamison trade and his value to the team highly depends on his ability to stay healthy for the duration of the season. Although not quite as explosive as he once was when he was younger, Stackhouse still is gifted enough to …

Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a fan of Lebron James. He is a good ball player but there are better athletes in the NBA. I am not known to stick up for anything that Lebron does, but I do need to review on his actions …

This is the year.
This team is poised to win it all this season after a heartbreaking loss to a New York Giants team who caught fire JUST at the right time. The pass rush that NY presented on top of key dropped passes by Crayton lead to a …

Kim Clisterz is another good player from Belgium. She was also world no.1 for some time, but was finally replaced by justis henin. Like henin, she has also got good power play for ground stroke and serve and volley but she could not keep her good form because of …

Zydrunas Ilgauskus of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a unique player for his size. At 7-3 tall, Ilgauskus has the soft skills including hitting the jumpers, creating opportunities around the rim with jump hooks and spin moves. His also a very good offensive rebounder for the Cavs since he uses …

Now that training camps are starting, I’m taking a look at the NFL and looking at each team individually.
I’m currently looking at the AFC East and what could be an interesting division to watch this year. One of those teams is the New York Jets.
Last season, the Jets took …

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 …

The Cowglen Golf Club situated on Barrhead Road in Glasgow was a very pleasant experience for me when I played there for the first time. I was fortunate enough to play with a club member who was able to guide me around the course. At first I thought the …

Jason Richardson of the Charlotte Bobcats is one of the leagues most explosive players. He was acquired on a draft day trade that sent number five overall pick Brendan Wright and cash considerations to Golden State Warriors. Richardson is the veteran presence the Bobcats needed to school their young …

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.
I really got confirmation to this after I watched this year’s AFCON finals and I have to say that I really think …

I’m a lover of good fights, I do not care if it is boxing, karate, mixed martial arts or other sport fighting, I only want exciting fights that will amuse me. A few months ago a boxing match between Manny Pacquiao which known as Pacman and Joshua Clottey caught …

Keyoon Dooling of the Orlando Magic was a former high lottery pick who has bounced around the league for quite some time. Mainly due to his inconsistent play and injury issues. but, when healthy Dooling is a serviceable guard reserve who can get at hot at any given moment …

Another player that Coach and General Manager of the New York Knicks signed to a stupid and bloated contract is forward Jared Jeffries. Mind you i think he is a very good player if he was given enough training and discipline by the Knicks organization. While playing for the …

Since I had previously been to this stadium for one of the games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup games, I thought it would be quite interesting to see how the stadium is run after the professional manner in which it was in the duration of the World Championships.

When Randy Moss drew interest from the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots this past off season, I thought both teams were making a mistake even looking at him. But, after watching him play for the Patriots this year, I think I was wrong on my assumption he …

It was a warm day at the Nashville SuperSpeedway in Tennessee on the day before Easter when Carl Edwards led the field to the green flag. Unlike most Nationwide races, this one was largely devoid of big name Sprint Cup drivers, and that’s because it’s an off-weekend for …

June 22, 2008, Sunday! The sixth year of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho hosting their own Ironman competition with athletes from all over the country and the world. They come from our very own little town in the form of a teacher to the far reaches of Finland. They pay their …

I really think I would have rated the user-friendliness of this running performance analysis system much higher if connection to the internet was not such a big part of its operation and I had to connect as part of the setup process to download the software to be installed, …

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. …

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 …

While looking at irons at Golf Galaxy, I came across Taylormade’s newest set: the R9 iron set.
I must say what drew me to them first is their look. I love their appearance. It’s very simple with clean lines. The back of the clubs have a balance of silver and …

I’ve been watching NASCAR for quite awhile and today’s race was the first time this season that I turned off the race and started flipping through the channels. There is something about Pocono that is completely boring and it makes me wonder why they use the track for two …

Paul Millsap came into the league highly un-regarded as an NBA player. Even i myself didn’t know who this guy was but the fact remains that he has grabbed the most rebounds in NCAA for three straight years. He led the nation in rebounding since his freshmen year up …

I just bought this bat approximately three weeks ago. I got this bat because one of my teammates had a 2010 Omaha and I loved the feel and pop of the bat. The bat is all black with silver font. I personally think the bat looks very nice. Most …

Highly Explosive point guard Chucky Atkins of the Memphis grizzlies has come a long way from those days early in his career where he was struggling for playing time and his minutes usually was coming off the bench. Atkins has great speed with or without the ball, he uses …

Bally Arm Slimmers made by Bally is available online at Amazon. I bought it for $15 because the price is lower in Amazon than anywhere else. It arrived after 15 days, after which I wore it twice a day for 1 hour.
My arms were not that big, but …

For the past seven years, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has been a blessing to both his team and the league as a whole. All he does is make plays and go back to the huddle, ready to make another. Though he does get flashy at times, the …

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 …

He was named as the team captain for the Atlanta Hawks and to me that stated the type of player Joe Johnson is. His a deadly three point shooter and at 6 feet 7 inches tall playing the two guard position, he has the size and the strength to …

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 …

Steve Nash the point guard of the Phoenix Suns and the reigning two time MVP of the league is undoubtably the best pure point guard around. Highly a pass first PG and scoring is only his second option. What separates Steve from other Guards around the league is the …

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 …

Head football coach of the San Francisco 49er’s, Mike Nolan, has been trying to turn a once great football program around. Blessed with nothing more than a quarterback who is more like Ryan Leaf than Joe Montana, Nolan has been implementing his style of play on the field for …

Some Collegiate basketball players you just really do remember even if they have done very little in their careers in the NBA so far. Steve Blake is one of those players i will always remember as the point guard of the University of Maryland. Now in the pro ranks …

Heelys have long been shoes that were made for children and teens, but recently the company began making the wheeled shoes for adults. Reading about how the shoes could be used in sport and to increase fitness, I decided to buy a pair and learn how to Heely. I …

Scott Steiner. Big Poppa Pump, The Genetic Freak, The big Bad Booty Daddy or Freakzilla. Whatever you know him better as, Scott Steiner is one of the names in professional wrestling that I grew up watching with me being a professional wrestling fan from a very young age. The …
