I am a huge fan of Abdullah The Butcher and to me he is possibly the biggest legend in Wrestling History. I first saw him taking part at Halloween Havoc in World Championship Wrestling in which he was put in the electric chair causing his team to lose the …

When one talks of the world’s greatest players, certainly someone like Ricardo Isacsson Leite Santos comes to my mind, better known as Kaka.
During his rise to stardom though, when he was at the very top of his game with A.C Milan, I was quite surprised to learn that he …

Kenyon Martin of the Denver Nuggets is a former first overall pick in the NBA draft. He was selected first overall by the New Jersey Nets and on that year he won the Rookie of the year award. At six feet and ten inches tall, Martin is a pure …

Two years ago, on a whim, I purchased the Topeak Alien II Multi-Tool because it was on a sale (every sale looks good once you’ve been bitten by the bike stuff bug) and it arrived a few days later.
After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …

After releasing starting quarterback Trent Green last year, the Kansas City Chiefs employed the services of a ten year veteran with Damon Huard. Though most have never heard of Huard, he was primed to take over the position and was poised to be the next big QB in Kansas …

Growing up as a South African soccer lover and follower, as is the local trend, most supporters have a tendency to adopt a local team (of course) as well as one overseas team, usually from the Barclays Premiership as this is the one league that has been the most …

The Atlanta Hawks are quickly making a name for themselves in the NBA. But not like you would think. The team is best known for their losing ways, and it seems to be continuing. One player hoping to stop this trend is six foot seven two guard from Arkansas, …

I finally got a chance to see Packers back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers play yesterday after starter Brett Favre got hurt against the Patriots.
From what I saw, in roughly one half of play, I’m not sold on him as the team’s future starter.
Granted, taking over during a 21-0 blowout …

My uncle attended the University of Maryland, so I kind of grew up a fan by force. I always pronounced their team name “Terror Pins” when I was a kid. Only later did I realize that it was the Maryland Terrapins. And to this day, I still have absolutely …

This is a boxing goldmine!
When reviewing Nahka-Sakke, rather of saying what they do, it would be easier to say what they do not. To put it simply Nahka-Sakke does it all.
They made hand made boxing and other equipment. For example heavy bags and wrestling dummies. No cheap imports but …

When the Green Bay Packers drafted Korey Hall this past April, I didn’t think too much of the move. Hall had played linebacker in college and they said they were going to convert him to fullback; a position he never played before. I figured, at best, he was going …

Another one of those so called “journeyman” in the NBA. I remember him having played for at least three separate teams in his career so far. Now playing for the Charlotte Bobcats as more of a bench player to fill some open spots in the bench to meet the …

Rafer Alston who currently starts for the Houston Rockets has edged out players like Mike James who is a great offensive player in the league, Steve Francis who is a former all star starter in the East playing for the Houston Rockets and Aaron Brooks who was recently signed …

A bold move by Arizona to draft and start two rookie wide receivers last season paid off not only in the emergence of NFL Rookie of the Year Anquan Boldin, but also in the development of Bryant Johnson, his running mate. Those two ended up first and third among …

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 …

When the Cowboys benched Drew Bledsoe in favor of Tony Romo earlier this season, I thought they were cashing in the rest of their year.
I have to admit though, Romo has looked pretty good so far.
He is definitely much more mobile than Bledsoe was, which was needed considering the …

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 …

It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …

In 2009, the NASCAR Bud Shootout Race has been changed, and I’m not sure it’s a good one. In fact, it just feels like one great big car manufacturer commercial.
In previous years, those participating in this very first race of the season were poll setters from the prior …

Two years ago, Pat Riley sat up high in his ivory tower and dictated to the peasants that coach Stan Van Gunday wasn’t worth of leading the Miami Heat and their impressive roster to an NBA title. So, upon lopping his head off, (firing him) Pat Riley climbed down …

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 …

Earl Barron of the Miami Heat has been with the team for over three years now. He was signed by the team to play if and ever Shaquille O’neal or Alonzo Mourning gets injured. Barron though has played very little and far and off in between. It has been …

Despite this being a home match in the Champions league against A Turkish side they should comfortably win against, there was an odd and somber mood around Old Trafford. Only the day before Sir Alex Ferguson had revealed and confirmed publicly for the first time that Manchester Uniteds start …

Ike Diogu is the former Arizona State University foward. He’s only been in the leage for two years, but already he’s made it his permanent home. The way he explodes when he plays, it’s a lock that he’s not going back to the minors, so the speak. The six …

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. …

Matt Barnes is the tattooed bad boy from the Golden State Warriors. The six foot seven small forward from the UCLA Bruins is in his forth year in the leage. A lot has changed in the NBA over the last few years, and players like Matt Barnes are leading …

Spanish Superstar Pau Gasol who now plays for the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA has become a legitimate superstar in the NBA. At seven foot tall and someone who has legitimate size, Gasol also has speed and this allows him to out maneuver his defenders and get to the …

Although I am not a Manchester United supporter, I cannot help but admire the driving force behind the greatness that is accociated with Manchester United, Sir Alex Furgason, and I have no problem at all claiming that he is certainly the best manager the world of club football has …

Thursday the 25th was the conclusion of the women’s figure skating competition at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. It was an eagerly anticipated free skate event.
Australia’s Cheltzie Lee continued her Olympic dream, skating a nice free skate. You could tell she was tired and some of her …

My team-by-team review of the NFL continues with a look at the final AFC East Team, the Buffalo Bills.
This is a team that really doesn’t do a whole lot that gains media attention normally. But, in an effort to catch up with the rest of the division, they did …

The second oldest rookie in the NBA this year, Luis Scola who was drafted originally by the San Antonio Spurs and is now playing for the Houston Rockets after a summer trade that sent him there is probably a hidden gem. My prediction will be that the Spurs will …

I am in a privileged position as I am able to compare the old stadium with the newly built ground which is what all modern stadium should be built like.
Having watched my first England game in 1996 just before the Euro 96 Championships in a friendly against Hungary …

Tony Allen came into the league as a highly touted player from the collegiate ranks. He was often reviewed as someone who has crazy athletic abilities. And he also proved in the collegiate ranks that he does in fact posses those said abilities. He dominated the slam dunk competitions …

After playing for the University of Kansas in the collegiate ranks and was a key player for that team, many people in the NBA sought Nick Collison. He was highly touted when he first came into the league as being a smart, witty player who gives you more that …

With Gordon Ramsay becoming such a big name in the world of food and becoming just as famous for his use of the F word, it was perhaps no surprise when he was chosen to front a football bloopers DVD as he never hides his passion for the game.
If …

UNLV, the University of Las Vegas, used to be known for good NCAA mens division 1 basketball teams way back when Larry Johnson played in the early 90’s. Since then, they haven’t really had great teams to speak of, but have had some great players. A great example of …

Son of NBA legend Bill Walton, Luke Walton has slowly made a name for himself in the league as one of the best one on one defenders in the league. He currently plays the small forward position for the Los Angeles Lakers but he can also defend the opposing …

Cotney Walsh along with Ambrose, was one of the most successful dual bowling pair that has ever been there in international cricket. Like Amrose, he too was accurate and had a very economy rate in one days international. He also over took kapil dev�s record of 434 wicket and …

Kris Humphries first played in the NBA for the Orlando Magic. He was a very limited player back then that runs like a dang giraffe. He was slow, stiff and seems to lack the abilities to last in the league. Surprisingly after being dealt to the Toronto Raptors he …

Not your average seven footer, Raef Lafrentz breaks the mold when it comes to US-born centers in the NBA as he usually plays from the outside and does little on the paint. Although he is quite valuable and was considered to be a great talent when he entered the …

Charlie Haas is one of the best technical wrestlers to hit the big leagues in many years. I watched his first ever match on his debut in the WWE along with his then tag team partner Shelton Benjamin, who had both just debuted as ‘Team Angle’ prot’g’s of Wrestling …

I was introduced to Chelsea Football Club as one of the bigger teams of the English Premier League, as one of the traditional, so called —˜Big Four’, with Leeds United not lagging too far behind Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, in no particular order.
I only recently started looking …

I have always thought that Miami Heat General Manager/Head Coach Pat RIley is an old fraud. He took over the team after he initiated deals that netted him a rather healthy O’neal away from the Los Angeles Lakers. When he noticed that his team had the chance to get …

Bulk is currently a personal favorite of mine, and I have had the pleasure of seeing his, as well as his tag-team partner Big Dave, live at a local show. Together they form the UK Pitbulls, and are one of the most recognizable tag-teams in the UK and on …

I actually learnt about Big Daddy from my Dad. He told me about him in the past and his memorable battles with Giant Haystacks, but it wasn’t until we got The Wrestling Channel over here that I had the chance to actually witness some of these battles.
He was one …

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.
Unfortunately for us Aggie fans, the Aggies were outscored. However, …

I have always loved attending matches at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria, especially football matches.
Situated in Pretoria, affectionately known as the “City of Champions”, this stadium holds so much history for me that the up and coming FIFA World Cupâ„¢ will be nothing but the “cherry on top”.
In …

If you are a Philadelphia Eagle fan and live within driving distance of Bethlehem, PA you are lucky enough to be able to see your team practice!
I had the opportunity to visit the Eagles Training Camp at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA and see all the players in action! …

More popularly known as “the white chocolate” for his earlier exploits as the starting Point guard for that sacramento team on his rookie campaign. Jason Williams has toned down his style of play a bit and has since shown great maturity in his game that exudes confidence in the …

When it comes to the San Antonio Spurs prized backup shooting guard, Manu Ginobili, I’ve found myself with egg on my face a few times. The first time, I confused his last name, Ginobili, with an Italian name and assumed that’s where he hailed from. The second time, was …
