Manu Ginobili
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 …

Los Angeles Dodgers 2011 Season
I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …
Bubba Franks
With a career average of 8.9 yards per catch, Bubba has become a safety blanket for the QB Brett Favre and a lock to get a first down. The sure-handed tight end caught four touchdown passes in 2003, bringing his career total to a huge 21, putting him third …
2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Daytona 500 race

New York Knicks
The New York Knicks has probably the worst management in any pro sports in my own estimation. They suck from the President all the way down to the towel guy. The owner probably is ok since he pays for the salary of his players without complaints but other than …

Spygate

Richard Yee of Purefoods team

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 …
NASCAR
I have to say, I don’t understand this whole NASCAR thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I can find a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to spend it sitting in front of a TV watching a bunch of cars running around in a circle.
