Tyrus Thomas
Tyrus Thomas who was the former third overall pick in the NBA draft has had a slow accent to his career. Although looking back in his collegiate days, I never really thought that he would become a Superstar in this league. His game lacks a little bit of physical …
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 …
Richard Yee of Purefoods team
If there is one under-rated player in the PBA today, it has to be the Purefoods TJ Giant’s Richard Yee. For all I care, Yee deserved a spot in the rotation of Coach Ryan Gregorio. He is tall and athletic and can definitely provide quality minutes off the bench. …

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.

Chad Pennington
With the New York Jets trying to figure out exactly what went wrong this past season, you can bet one of the future casualties will be former starting quarterback Chad Pennington.

Mckenzie Town, Calgary, Alberta Skatepark

Quentin Richardson

The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
