Sport Reviews
Derek Anderson
Derek Anderson is a six foot five guard that comes to the NBA via the Kentucky Wildcats. Anderson was a bright shining star in his few short years with the NCAA mens division 1 power house. And he wasn’t very shy about quickly making an impression on the fans …
Jason “Jay” Williams
The sports world seemed shocked nine years ago when the Sacramento Kings used their seventh overall pick in the draft to select Jason Williams from the Florida Gators. That shock turned to joy when the young point guard quickly grew to become one of the more exciting players in …
Brendan Haywood
Former National collegiate champion member of the North Carolina Tar Heels Brenadan Haywood is valuable to the Washington wizards if not for his size alone. He is a pure seven footer that has a big body and uses it to control the paint. Haywood has limited skills offensively. He …
Houston Texans
So far, the Houston Texans are looking like they will once again miss the playoffs, even with the addition of new head coach Gary Kubiak. However, I do see potential for this team in the future.
Starting quarterback David Carr has looked very impressive this season and is definitely benefitting …
Chris Mihm
Los Angeles lakers pivot Chris Mihm who came from Texas University can be considered an avergae big man in the NBA. He can post-up, he can has the ability to shoot those open midrange jumpers, he can rebound, block shots and intimidate the guard’s from penetrating the middle. After …
Norv Turner
Whenever someone asks me about San Diego Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner, my response to them is ‘one heck of a coordinator, lousy coach.’
Turner is an innovative offensive coach who pretty much designed the offense the San Diego Chargers have had success with over the past few years. But, …
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 …
Ronnie Price
Ronnie Price of the Utah Jazz who is the team’s third string point guard was originally drafted by the Sacramento Kings. Now with the Jazz, Price will be a player who will come off the bench only on situations where the game has already been decided.
He is still young …
Vernand Morency
At one point, I thought Packers running back Vernand Morency could turn into a starter and a steal for the team. Now, I think he’ll be lucky if he’s still around next season.
Morency possesses decent speed and showed some flashes of greatness as a back up to Ahman Green …
ToPeak Alien II Multi-Tool
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 …
Rafer Alston
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 …
Bruce Bowen
I can’t say too much about Bruce Bowen without becoming completely infuriated. He is a six foot seven small forward out of Cal State Fullerton who currently plays with the San Antonio Spurs. He has played eleven extremely dirty and rule breaking years in the National Basketball Association. And …
2006 Green Bay Packers
Watching the Packers offseason moves this year, I’m thinking they are either going to be a playoff team or another 4-12 team. They have more raw talent than they’ve had in years but the players are young and are going to need time to develop.
Brett Favre’s return does help …
Clive Potter’s Sil Lum Tao DVD
Wing Chun is probably the most popular style of traditional Kung Fu in the world today. In great part, this is because Bruce Lee studied the art in his teenage years. While the association with Bruce Lee certainly helped expand the popularity of the art, if Wing Chun did …
S-League
S-League stands for Singapore League, and it is a local scene in my country for the local popular sports, soccer. And there are lots of league clubs competing against one another to reign championship. There are the seasons, of course.
Am I an avid fan? Honestly …
Koy Detmer
A prototype of the consummate NFL backup, Detmer landed in the starting job in Week 12 of 2002 for the first time in three years. AFter completing only 15 passes since 1999, he pulled the trigger with two touchdowns and 227 yards passing on 18 completions. Detmer is only …
Gait Icon
The Gait Icon was my first lacrosse stick and I have found it to be an excellent stick. Although it is meant for beginners, the Icon will hold out well at intermediate and expert levels of play. It is reasonably priced at around £40-50 and is …
Jwagal Shrinath
Shrinath is one of the better Indian fast bowler. Recently he retired from International cricket before that he taken 300 wickets in both from cricket that is test and one days. Shrinath is very hard working person and he improve in his bowling drastically earlier he used to …
Innova Orc disc golf driver
When I first started playing disc golf, I went through a fair amount of drivers very quickly. Honestly, it was because I lost them faster than I care to remember. There was one driver that I managed to hang onto for a long time though. It …
Sportsillustrated.com/basketball
Cnn’s affiliate sports network the Sports Illustrated has NBA basketball coverage in their main page at Sportillustrated.com. What i like with their site better than most Sports related pages is its approach and dedication to simplicity. Most Sites that handle sports as their content are full of scripts made …
Diego Forlan Uruguay Soccer Player
There is one thing I love more than to see naturally gifted players showing off their technical skill and flair, and that is underdogs coming to the fore and showing the world that they are no pushovers. With a player like Diego Forlan it was a case of a …
Jamaal Tinsley
Guards in the NBA are making a comeback. When Shaq, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe were all in their prime, it was land of the big men. But now that the calender reads 2008, it’s out with the old, in with the new. This is true on almost every team …
Specialized P2 Cro Mo Dirt Jump Bike (2010)
I have been a keen Mountain Biker since I was a youngster, so needless to say I have tried out many different styles and makes of bike. Upon purchasing my Specialized P2 I jumped straight on it to ride it home.
At first I was shocked by the blistering …
Chad Pennington
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 …
Oakley A Frame Ski Goggles
I’m an avid skier and it’s really important to me to have good equipment that will last and most importantly will offer the greatest safety. That being said, my friends recommended that I spend the extra money and invest in a pair of Oakley A Frame Ski Goggles.
The …
The Krown Pro Skateboard
The Krown Pro Skateboard is a full size skateboard sold online. I bought it recently because I just started skateboarding and didn’t want to pay full price for an elite board. I expected it to be very functional and well built. Here are my findings:
The woodmake is really solid …
JaMarcus Russell
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 …
Bastien Schweinsteigger German Soccer Player
I have always known Basiten Schweisteigger as a great player, from the first time I saw him play as a speedy winger for his German national football team in years gone by, but it was at the 2010 FIFA World Cup where his quality was confirmed with me.
I really …
2010 NASCAR Camping World NextEra Energy Resources 250 race
NASCAR’s truck series was supposed to get under way on Friday evening, February 12, but rain meant that the race wasn’t held until Saturday evening, after the Nationwide race was concluded. The truck series is a different breed, a mix of veteran drivers, Sprint Cup wannabes, and everything …
Jermaine O’neal
Jermaine O’neal of the Indiana Pacers started his career as a bench warmer for the Portland TrailBlazers. Drafted straight out of high School, O’neal saw very limited playing time with the Blazers the first four years of his career. After he was dealt to the Pacers though, he was …
Anquan Boldin
The Arizona Cardinals were on the brink this year. Almost making the playoffs seems but yet another disappointing season now that it’s all over with. But at the time, I’m sure every player and fan alike were absolutely estatic. One thing they can take from this is a learning …
Sun Mountain Micro Golf Push Cart
I am in the market for a new golf pull cart. I wanted something that was compact, folds easily, could be carried rather effortlessly, and works great.
I think I found it with the new 2010 Sun Mountain Micro Cart. This is the first push cart I have seen with …
Rasheed Wallace
One of the most volatile NBA players of all time Rasheed Wallace came into the Detroit Pistons in mid-season and made them the championship team that they are. The Pistons were already a good team when they made that trade for Rasheed virtually for nothing. Instantly the Pistons where …
Titleist Pro V1 golfballs
This review is about the Pro V1 golfballs. In golf, the Titleist Pro V1 are the best of the balls. Everyone talks about them and everbody plays them, but what about these balls is so special.
You have probably heard that they are soft. Okay, thats good. A soft ball …
Josh Boone
Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …
Tim Thomas
Tim Thomas who quit playing for the Knicks early on in his career has resurrected it and has found a home in LA with the clippers. Gifted with incredible range for an almost seven foot guy, Thomas is one of the most agile players i’ve ever seen in a …
Detroit Lions
There is a famous Dennis Green quote “They are Who We Thought They Were,” said while he was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Halfway through their 2009 season, I feel this quote applies to the Detroit Lions who have only one win this season after being the first …
Brandon Jackson
Brandon Jackson is the backup running back for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. He’s a very good backup to have on your team, especially for the Packers new, young QB, Aaron Rodgers. Jackson gives Rodgers a check down, and a reliable checkdown at that. You look back …
Bostjan Nachbar
Bostjan Nachbar of the New Jersey Nets has FINALLY found his mark in the NBA. And man it took him quite a while to get there. Playing for numerous teams in the league throughout his career, Nachbar has found his home with the Nets as their best offensive player …
Chelsea Football Club
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 …
Eli Manning
Don’t let the last couple of games fool you, Eli Manning is no where near as good as his brother.
He may have survived the playoffs and may be going to the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. But, he did that largely because of his surrounding …
Pittsburgh Steelers Preseason
My team-by-team NFL review now has me in Pittsburgh taking a look at the Steelers. This is a team that is coming off a fantastic Super Bowl win last season and is looking to defend their title.
When the team decided to hire head coach Mike Tomlin, I thought it …
Wrestler: Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar was introduce when true talented monsters were limited to zero, and this is why he was bought in and pushed straight away as a main eventer. For a man of his size, image and strength, you would not expect anything great out of him other than one …
Tracy McGrady
Tracy McGrady or more popularly known as t-mac for me is one of a handful of players that can take over a game and end it right there at that moment. T-mac scores in bunches and once he starts feeling it, it is game over. His such a dominant …
J&J 16″ Ceramic Paintball barrel
When it comes to accuracy in paintball, you’re going to have to realize that the longer the ball has a chance to travel on a straight, assisted path (a barrel), the longer the ball will stay stable during flight, and thus is more accurate. Therefore, the longer a barrel, …
St. Louis Cardinals 2011 World Series Season
As an avid Cardinals fan that is excited about the upcoming 2012 season, I would first like to look back at the previous season. It had so many ups and downs and ultimately ended in grand fashion. In mid-August it looked like they would be competing for third place …
New York Giants
A couple seasons ago, the New York Giants shocked everyone by making it to the Super Bowl and beating the undefeated New England Patriots for the championship. The success resulted in coach Tom Coughlin getting a contract extension.
But, I think it resulted in something else too, people overrating this …
Tony Romo
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 …
Foxsports.com/NBA
As an alternate to reading NBA.com as the main provider of information for anything NBA i read and scroll through Foxsports.com/nba section. The difference between the 2 sites is that foxsports focuses and gives more emphasis on the articles by its contributing bloggers or writers. The capture their audience …
Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting is the present Australian captain. He recently equaled the world record of making Australia winning its consecutive 16th test match when they beat India today on 6th January 2008. He has been one of the most successful captains of Australian team. He is an excellent batsman …
