Brevin Knight
After a successful stint with the Charlotte Bobcats as their starting point guard, Brevin Knight was released by the team allowing him to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers who badly needed someone to fill in the spot left open with the injury to Shaun Livingston who was the …
James Posey
Former Denver Nugget who had great potential coming into the league James Posey who now don’s the Miami Heat Jersey has slowly evolved into a top-tier league defender and shooter rather than the athletic, versatile with superstar ability player who entered the league. He has slowed down offensively and …
Richard Hamilton
There have been a lot of talented basketball players to come out of the University of Connecticut Huskies NCAA program. You can look around the league and spot a Huskies alumni on every other team. They can recruit in the nort east and they can coach those young men …
Original Jeet Kune Do Foundational Structure DVD
Lamar Davis’ Original Jeet June Do Complete remains one of the most comprehensive home DVD series on the subject of Bruce Lee’s martial art. Volume one in the series is the DVD “Foundational Structure” and it is a MUST HAVE for anyone that wishes to learn the art of …
Sean May
Sean May who won an NCAA championship with the University of North Carolina tar Heels had a stellar collegiate career. He is a son of a former NBA player as well. His collegiate success though has not resulted in an NBA success. A native of Chicago IL., May was …
Bally Total Fitness in West Covina
To summarize my experience at Bally Total Fitness in West Covina requires only one word: Disappointing.
Having sampled several different gyms in several different areas throughout my life, this particular Bally location was probably the poorest facility that required a monthly membership.
As a member there, I found the service very …
Mike McCarthy
When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.
And, after seeing him through 15 games of his first season, I still stand by that opinion.
There’s a good chance the Packers will finish 7-9 this …
Jared Jeffries
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 …
Samuel Eto’o Cameroon Striker
Now in all my football following exploits I have never ever come across a more under-rated player than Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and it really baffles me how the world keeps on misjudging the quality that is in Samuel Eto’s boots.
In my personal view, it is players such as Samuel …
Linn Park Municipal Golf Course
The Linn Park Municipal Golf Course on the south side of Glasgow is an 18-hole golf course that I have played on numerous occasions. It is a very short course by comparison to others with a Par of only 63. Many of the holes are longish Par 3 with …
Clinton Portis
When I think about running backs, I think of the elite guys and, a couple steps below them is Clinton Portis.
While he had a decent couple of years in Denver, Portis is not a running back teams can rely on to be a game changer. He’s had a couple …
2007 Arizona Cardinals
Going into the 2007 season, it looked like the Arizona Cardinals had finally turned a corner and were going to be a playoff team. Now that we’re half-way through the season, I think its obvious that they still are the same team they were last year; loaded with talent …
Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist recently declared his retirement from International cricket, this came as a surprise to many who thought he is still in very good form and almost at the peak of his career. Gilchrist enjoys an exceptional record both as wicket keeper and as a batsman, he has …
2010 Bern Watts snowboard helmet
A good helmet for skiing and snowboarding is for me not that easy to find. I want a helmet that looks good, feels comfortable, does not get too warm or cold and without costing too much.
I decided on the Bern Watts helmet. Bern designs really cool helmets …
Al Harrington
Al Harringto of the Golden State Warriors for me is one of the most agile big man there is in the league today. At six feet and ten inches tall, Harrington can bury the three point shot with no difficulty at all. He also has great versatility in driving …
Stephen Graham
I like this guy Stephen Graham of the Indiana Pacers for the very little playing time that he has gotten so far. When he is in the game he makes a bit of a difference with his ability to get into the lane and be aggressive. What i …
Zlatan Ibrahimovic Swedish Soccer Player
Just as is the case with Ronaldinho, wathcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a bit of a sad case for me because I really feel as if he is one of those players who never really worked hard enough to realize his true potential as a football player. With Ronaldinho though, …
Luis Scola
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 …
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 …
Terrell Owens
When I think about the elite receivers in the league, Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens is always one of the first to come to mind.
Owens no longer has the big play speed he used to have. But, he does have one advantage many receivers around the league don’t, height. He …
Nate Robinson
Reminiscent of Mugsy Bogues and Spudd Webb, is the New York Knicks small point guard, Nate Robinson. Though I have nothing but contempt and hatred in my heart for the Knicks and the way Thomas is coaching that team into the ground, I like rooting for the little guy, …
Liverpool Football Club
Whenever I catch a glimpse of Liverpool in action these days, I get a bit sad that one of our greatest rivals has succumbed to being reduced to an ordinary team, and as an Arsenal fan, contending with the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in addition …
Eric Piatkowski
Erik Piatkowski started his career in a high note with the Los Angeles Clippers where he was a valuable player off the bench and even started some of the games mainly to the fact that he is a six feet and ten inch player who can stretch the defense …
Ryan Gomes
Another piece for that blockbuster deal that the Timberwolves made in trading Kevin Garnett is in acquiring the rights to Ryan Gomes from the Boston Celtics. I heard that over the summer they like what they saw in him and was vital in their decision to make the move. …
Sherdons Golf Club
One of the local golf clubs and course I like to play at is called Sherdons. It is located not far from Teddington, which is in between Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. It is about a ten minute drive from the race course at Cheltenham.
The Club has recently been …
African Cup of Nations 2008 (AFCON)
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 …
Dwight Howard
Last year, I was turning the TV around and caught the tail end of a dunk on a replay of the NBA all star weekend slam dunk compeition. Having missed the original airing of the contest, I was more than happy to watch a replay. It was Dwight Howards …
Coral Cliffs Golf Course
Coral Cliffs Golf Course in Kanab, Utah will not qualify as one of the world’s greatest golf links, and may never sponsor a major tournament, but it is a nice little 9-hole course for those who just want to get on and play a few holes without having to …
Basketball Player Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk Nowitzki is a NBA player and he has played for the Dallas Mavericks his entire career. I am a big fan of basketball and I love watching him play. In my opinion he has nearly everything that you can look for in a good …
Charlie Villanueva
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 …
Drew Brees
The New Orleans Saints have been through more in the last two years than most NFL franchises will have to go through in their entire existence. And still, some how, some way, they found a way to go to the NFC championship game last year. A lot of this …
Roger Federer Tennis Player
Good looking, complete tecniques, humble, and unmatched. These are the my first impressions when I saw Roger Federer, the most winning player of grandslam championships in the history of tennis. Collecting 15 grandslam titles in the just 6 years, made him the most tremendous  tennis player in the history …
West Germany v Argentina - 1990 World Cup Final
In 1990, I may only have been 8, but I was a big football fan and it was the world cup. I was amazed by this competition mainly because I thought that anything that allowed there to be so many games of football per day and per week was …
Martell Webster
As a former sportswriter, I found myself covering tons of talented guys in high school who were poised to be the “next big thing” in the NBA. After seeing many of them fall flat on their face, I often times found it unfair that individals like myself, and the …
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz of the NBA is a team i consider as the most disciplined team there is in the past 20 years. Exactly the tenure of head coach Jerry Sloan. I love Sloan and his game plan for the Jazz. He constructs the Jazz offense on a heavy …
Malik Rose
Malik Rose of the New York Knicks is one of those players in the NBA that has a great knack for the ball. He is a bit undersized for a power forward or a Center but can match up pretty well in either of those positions since he can …
Rangers v Manchester United - European Champions League 2010/11 Season
If you are a fan of football, then watching Manchester United play Rangers in the European Champions League in the 2010/11 season has been no great spectacle. Manchester United were the huge favourites when on the way to Ibrox, but having watched Rangers defend for 90 minutes at old …
Loul Deng
Loul Deng who’s a native from Congo in my opinion is one of the best mid range shooters we have in the NBA today. He can shoot with great consistency from ten to twenty feet at any angles in the court. His also their best slasher and probably the …
Peter June Simon of Purefoods Giants
In the Purefoods TJ Giant’s current line-up, there is no more exciting player to watch then Peter June Simon. He is, in my opinion, the most effective guard in the league today.
Simon is a testimony of hard-work, discipline and perseverance. In his early years as a professional basketball …
Imraan Khan
Imraan Khan is best Pakistani all rounder of all times. He was a very successful caption and he lead his country to win the world cup 1992. Imraan Khan was a good accurate fast medium bowler and he useful middle order batsman. He consistently contributed with his batting and …
Steve Novak
After having a successful collegiate career, Steve Novak of the Houston Rockets has yet to translate that into a professional career success so far. He has been in the Houston Rockets bench for the season and has seen very little playing time at all.
I think some other team could …
Alan Hansen Football Column - BBC Website
Alan Hansen is not everyone’s cup of tea, but he remains one of the main pundits on BBC’s Match of The Day and he also writes for the BBC sport website. Some might think that he is not especially entertaining on the telly, so reading what he has to …
Robina Woods Golf Club
Robina Woods Golf Club in Robina, Queensland is half an hour from the city. We waited an hour to tee off, since we played on the 6,700-yard (championship tees) course on a Saturday, and up ahead were two flights of women that couldn’t get out fast from the …
NFL Pro Bowl
Super Bowl XLIII is in a couple of days and I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to watch it (I might for the commercials). But, I can tell you one thing I definitely won’t be watching; the annual NFL Pro Bowl.
A few years ago, the Pro Bowl was …
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 …
Phil Jackson
The zen master. The coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson, is synonomous with winning basketball games. The inventor of the triangle offense won more titles with the Chicago Bulls than a dart throwing champion could win Stairway to Heaven posters at a carnival. And that trent continued …
Bonzi Wells
Bonzi Wells for me is probably the best rebounding two guard in the league. He has great height and deft to be able to battle bigger players down low for that rebounds be it on the offensive or at the defensive end.
I have always admired Wells game ever …
Wrestler: Charlie Haas
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 …
Wrestler: Asya
Asya was one of the female wrestlers in WCW that actually scared me. I first saw her as a member of Shane Douglas’ Faction known as The Revolution alongside fellow members Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and of course the leader, Shane Douglas. The faction was short lived …
