Anquan Boldin
The Arizona Cardinals were on the brink this year. Almost making the playoffs seems but yet another disappointing season now that it’s all over with. But at the time, I’m sure every player and fan alike were absolutely estatic. One thing they can take from this is a learning …
Specialized P2 Cro Mo Dirt Jump Bike (2010)
I have been a keen Mountain Biker since I was a youngster, so needless to say I have tried out many different styles and makes of bike. Upon purchasing my Specialized P2 I jumped straight on it to ride it home.
At first I was shocked by the blistering …
Chicago Bears 2008 recap
Being a die-hard Packers fan, I obviously am not a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. But, I will try to be objective when looking at their past season, which resulted in a winning record but not a playoff appearance.
Offensively, I think the Bears have improved from last year, …
NASCAR - the top 35 rule
For most of its history, NASCAR races featured drivers who raced their way into the field. Regardless of the number of drivers in a race (and it did vary until the last ten years or so), the field was set by qualifying. For the most part, if …

Jason Kidd
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 …
Barclays Premiership English Premier League
Widely regarded as the best league in the world, I am rather mixed in opinion as to weather the Barclays Premiership is in fact the best football league in the world. If it is though, I don’t think it beats the rest by much.
In terms of organization, money and …
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Heading into the 2008 season, I thought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a legitimate playoff contender. Now I’m thinking they will finish near the bottom of the NFC South Division.
The Buccaneers are 2-1, I will give them that. But, they beat a rebuilding Atlanta Falcons team and they …
Anfernee “penny” Hardaway
Once considered as the heir apparent to Micheal Jordan, Penny Hardaway was primed for bigtime even in the collegiate ranks where he played for the University Of Memphis. Hardaway entered the league after being drafted 3rd overall by the Warriors. He was then sent to the Orlando Magic on …

Re-examining the Minnesota Vikings
Just before preseason, I took a look at the Minnesota Vikings and thought they were an overrated team; especially since they didn’t have an answer at the quarterback position. Then they signed Brett Favre and are now off to a 2-0 start.
You know what, they are better than I …
Phil Jackson
Head coach of the legendary Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson was popularized with the Bulls dynasty rather than anything else. Many people think that Jackson is blessed of being able to choose his team and select a team with an already impressive cast of players but we also forget …
Lucas Radebe Retired South African Soccer Star
One of the greatest footballing exports to come out of the South African footballing world, Lucas Radebe is one of those genuine role models I have always looked up to, since my very early days of falling in love with the game of football, back around 1996, when he …
Amare Stoudemire
Amare Stoudemire is the big named talent from a small named school. The six foot ten inch center/power forward played his college ball in Cyprus Creek which is located in Orlando FLorida. The Phoenix Suns were happy to grab this tremendous talent up and quickly built their entire team …
Thadeus Young
Another of the young talents that i really expected to blossom this year for the Philadelphia 76ers is young guard Thadeus Young whom they drafted in the first round of last years draft. He has the physical attributes to be a good scorer in this league. His lean, his …

Peyton Manning
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 …

Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant is one of the best players to come out of college in recent history. I followed this guys career throughout his freshmen year last season playing for the University of Texas and all i can say is that he will be the next dominant scorer in the …
2008 Green Bay Packers
Packers training camp is just around the corner and, being the fan that I am (and being absolutely bored today) I feel I would take a few minutes to review what I feel to be a very talented team with potential for great things; assuming a few weak spots …
Donovan McNabb
McNabb led the Eagles to their unprecedented third straight NFC championship in 2003, earning his fourth Pro Bowl selection in the process. He led Philadlephia to nine straight wins last season and took his team to a dramatic playoff win vs the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre. Donovan …
Erick Dampier
The starting Center for the Dallas Mavericks, Erick Dampier has been a disappointment ever since he came into the Mavericks when he signed that monster contract. It is really unfair in the NBA for the teams sometimes when a situation like this happens. A player like Erick Dampier who …
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has just proven to the world of boxing that he indeed is the best pound for pound fighter out there. After methodically dismantling the previously unbeaten British fighter Ricky Hatton last weekend. I did have my doubts when he entered the fight that he might lose …
Hendrick Race Shop
Hendrick Motorsports is the operational center for the NASCAR race team including both their Cup and Nationwide Series teams. They have several areas and buildings of their team open to the public and we recently had the chance to take the tour of their facilities. Though I’m not a …
2010 Rossignol Harmony, Women’s snowboard
The Rossignol harmony 2010 is a women’s snowboard primarily made for the park. It is medium flex, with a thin profile making it a very forgiving board with great maneuverability. It is also true twin making it great for riding both goofy and regular. I paid 299.99 …
Daunte Culpepper
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 …
2008 Chicago Bears
Two years ago, the Chicago Bears were the team to beat in the NFC and were good enough to win a Super Bowl (though they ended up losing it).
This year, I really can’t see this team being anything more than a bottom feeder in the NFL.
I don’t even know …
Deion Branch
After the New England Patriots won a few Super Bowls, they thought it smart to get rid of the players who helped get them there and rest the weight of the world on Tom Brady’s shoulders. This was a pill hard to swallow for Deion Branch who was reportly …
Donald Driver
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 …
Theo Ratliff
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 …
Josh Boone
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 …
Reggie Theus
Attention California, the green eyed bandit is back. The Sacramento Kings made a coaching change this off season bringing in Reggie Theus to lead up their team. The Kings, once a great team just a few years removed, seemed to be going nowhere with their last coach. I for …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Men’s Snowboard Cross race
After a boring round of qualifying, the Men’s Snowboard Cross semi-finals and finals race were actually exciting. Now this could capture a person’s interest.

Francisco Elson
Francisco Elson is one of those players who has benefited greatly by playing alongside Tim Duncan. From an unknown player in the league to a respected big man off the bench for the defending world champions. Before his stop with the Spurs Elson was playing a role with the …
Edgerrin James
He’s back. Based on his 2003 results, Edgerrin has put his knee problems behind him to reclaim superstar status. In fact, his 97 rushing yards per game was very comparable to the 102 of his first two NFL seasons in which he was an All-Pro. On November 16, James …
New York Giants
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 …
Jason Richardson
Golden State Warriors two-guard Jason Richardson who won the slam dunk contest two years in a row is more than just dunking. His game has superstar potential written all over it. His great leaping ability is his main asset and in the slam dunk competition no one is better …
Doc Rivers
Doc Rivers is the former all star basketball player turned coach for the NBA’s Boston Celtics. This year they’re leading the league in wins. As I type this they have won 25 games and lost only 3. That’s impressive and reminds me of the great Chicago Bulls teams with …
Carson Palmer
Coming out of USC in college with a Heisman trophy, much hyped quarterback Carson Palmer was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals with their first pick and was set to be the hero of the downtrodden team. Never having won anything since their superbowl of the early 80’s, Cincinnati sat …
Nene Hilario
Nene Hilario of the Denver Nuggets has been a disappointment ever since he joined the Denver Nuggets. He was drafted quite high on the rookie draft since the Nuggets and pretty much everyone on the league expected him to be a star someday. Coming from Brazil, Nene has all …
Rasheed Wallace
Rasheed Wallace one of the very reasons that detroit won that championship in the ‘04 season has transformed himself from the bad boy image he was percieved at portland to a team guy in detroit. He has bought into the system the coach has for the team and it …
