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 …

The Toronto Raptors are lucky to have found and signed Carlos Delfino away from the Detroit Pistons. I really like this player. He is very tough, strong and quick and above all i just can’t imagine his persona to be the type that would shy away from a challenge. …

A sleeping bag that is really big enough to feel comfortable for large or small people is an important sport’s item! The Issaquah, 25 degree farenheit sleeping bag is just this, and is really warm and cozy.

As the new coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, first year hopeful Randy Wittman certainly has his hands full. After Kevin Garnett finally got out of there, the Timberwolves don’t have another start to speak of. Trapped in the toughest conference in the history of basketball with teams like the …

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. …

After a controversial signing with the Utah Jazz from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Carlos Boozer has settled down and will probably be an all-star this year. He is a monster inside the paint. He scores on all angles. He can play with his back to the basket. He can shoot …

I actually was an avid fan for Tayshaun Prince when he was playing in his collegiate days and i have to admit that i seriously doubted whether he will have an NBA career at all. His body frame was my concern since i highly doubted whether he can take …

One thing that the Chicago Bulls have done right this season with their current slump is the signing of former number one overall pick in Joe Smith. I know that a lot of great expectations are meted out to a number one overall pick in any draft. And in …

During his prime, Kurt Warner was as good as any quarterback in the NFL. But, looking at him now, I don’t think he’s ever going to be confused with a hall of famer either.
Warner hit it big a few years ago because he was in the right situation at …

He was dubbed as the “Walking Great Wall” in relation to his Chinese nationality. Already a superstar back in China with the Shanghai Sharks, Yao Ming was the first rookie overall pick of the Houston Rockets in 2002 - the first Chinese to be picked first in the rookie …

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered it’s worst season last year, not because of attendance decline or it’s record but because they traded away the player who was the face for that franchise for over 10 years. Allen Iverson whom they drafted as the first overall pick in the 1996 NBA …

The Eagles survived a tough test in Week 7 of 2004 when the Browns made enough plays in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Pinkston made six catches for 100 yards with David Akers booting the game winner from 50 yards out in their team’s 34-31 victory. Pinkston has …

In professional wrestling, the words great and greatest get thrown around a lot. Some proformers achieve greatness in their careers, but few ever get considered to be the greatest of all time. Ric Flair, who began his career in the 70’s, and only retired in 2008, is definitely one …

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …

At the beginning of the year, I thought the 49ers would win the NFC West division. Half way through, it doesn’t look like that will happen. But, they are still improved over what they have been from the past couple years.

It was my sophomore year of college, and after a previous year of using a brake-less $20 piece of junk bike I found off craigslist, 3 flats, 2 cracks decided that it was time to invest in a nicer bike for my daily mile commutes to campus. After …

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 …

Greg is an okay receiver that can catch passes if you want him to. He is out of Stanford where he wasn’t their best wide receiver, but he did do okay. Last year he didn’t even catch one pass but this year he might be able to catch one …

Used mostly by lady and the older players of tennis. The Wilson Triad 2 has a large headsize of 118sq. inches that creates unbelievable power. As a tennis enthusiast, i buy and demo multiple rackets. I tried this one and found it too powerful for my liking. It compromises …

The more I look at Brian Billick’s career as the Baltimore Ravens head coach, the more I think he got a raw deal when he was fired by the team.

Jason Hart who is the back-up point guard to Deron Williams for the Utah Jazz is one solid point guard. He has had great play-off success as a back up point guard in the league as he is never a starter material anyway. He has played in San Antonio …

It’s really hard to come up with the words to describe New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. On one hand, he’s a heck of a coach. He’s 3-1 in the Super Bowl, has turned the Patriots into an annual contender for the NFL title and, quite simply put, could …

Now that the 2010 World Cup is over, I suppose it is time to review the performance of the England side, which happens to be my home team. That’s not something I am particularly pleased about, given their disappointing (to use a very mild word) level of achievement in …

Big John Studd was just fading away from wrestling when I first took attention to him, and unfortunately passed away shortly after. He was a big man, and a great wrestler for his size and I feel if he had been alive today, he would have been classed as …

When the Packers brought in punter Jon Ryan last year, I found myself impressed with his leg strength and felt, with some work, he could round out to be a good punter.
After this past month though, I’m thinking it’s time for a change.
Ryan’s biggest problem last season is he …

This review is for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Figure Skating - Pairs Free Skate, and I’ll start by saying the gold medalists from China deserve their medal. It was a little shaky and they had a close call on a twist, but Shen and Zhao were …
