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 …

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 …

Chicago Bulls Small Guard Ben Gordon who before entering the NBA was a national champion at the University of Connecticut won the rookie of the year award last year. He often hit big shots at the end of games to slowly gain a reputation as one of the league’s …

Considering they won the AFC North title, you would think the Steelers would be a favorite to get past the first round of the playoffs and even surprise higher seeded teams.
I don�t think that�s the case. I think they were lucky to make it into the playoffs but …

Over a decade ago, Virgina Union had a nasty player in their mens basketball program that they knew was a phenominal player. Unfortunately for teams of the NBA, they found out about him too late. Ben Wallace is probably the best all around low post defender in the last …

Probably the best pick the New York Knicks franchise made since they selected Patrick Ewing first overall. Mind you, Lee won’t be as good or even as effective as Ewing was but with all the horrendous moves these franchise has made through the years. The pick of David Lee …

We bought our Bell Helmets 9 years ago. They fit very well and make my head feel very protected. It’s comfortable except for when it’s hot outside, then it gets very hot and stuffy!
Bell recommends that you allow the helmet to air dry after each use before you store …

Wally Szczerbiak whom for the rest of this review will be calling Wally as it is so damn hard to spell his last name started his career as a sidekick to Kevin Garnett for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He even made an all star team in doing so and was …

Dwyane Wade is a explosive player who gets to the rim anytime he wants. He plays with a recklessness abandon so you know he’s giving full effort every minute on the court. He carried a bad Miami Heat team with a overweight Shaquille O’Neal and barely average teammates to …

If you put the two and two together with a seven foot six inch tall center, and an athlete, the sports equation would probably equal = clutz. This isn’t the case with the Houston Rockets center, Yao Ming. Yao is known world wide. Hailing from China, the gifted athletic …

Perhaps the player who hasn’t done anything for his NBA team for now but has the biggest potential of all is Gerald Green. The question from me is whether he will be able to live up to that potential of his. I think Green has an unbelievable scoring capabilities …

When the Cincinnati Bengals chose to keep Marvin Lewis as their head coach, I’m convinced it was more because they didn’t think they could find anyone better than him actually being the right fit for the organization. I think they are waiting to see if Bill Cowher will be …

For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …

Hi folks, thuis might sound corny but the season of formula1 was areal bore again.As a true fan of the sport it was disappointing to see that the title race was all but over midway through the season.Now people will argue that is a sham,no guys just come to …

Sorry, Cam. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been so disappointed as watching the Miami Dolphins struggle to win a game this year. I really didn’t think they’d win even one. And personally, I was rooting for them to lose them all! But the guy I …

Man what a good year can do to you. Mikki Moore who in some NBA player standards exploded last year with the New Jersey Nets as the starting Center for that team when they lost Nenad Kristic to injury has a really good year last year when he consistently …

The NASCAR - 2009 Sam’s Town 300 Nationwide race was a comedy of errors and bad plays by veteran drivers. The Las Vegas race was full of yellow flags, many of which were spin outs done by Cup drivers participating in the race.
Since its repaving, the Las Vegas …

Last season, following the Packers’ 8-8 finish, many fans were calling for the firing of secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer. After this season, you don’t hear too many of those calls any more.
The reason for this is the fact the secondary actually showed significant signs of improvement, in particular the …

When I was a kid and really crazy about basketball, I would watch the games of the Philippine Basketball Association because it is definitely one of the most exciting basketball leagues, sometimes even better than the NBA. Never mind though that the quality of the players are far …

Newly acquired Magic Center Darko Milicic who came from Serbia and Montenegro and drafted by the pistons as the second overall pick in the ‘03 draft has slowly shown why he was drafted over the likes of Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh. After two and a half …

I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …

The 2009 racing season is underway with the Daytona 500. I have a few definite reactions to the big race.
–I’m proud of the 24 team. Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, and he did a great job all day. He also made a daring call, coming …

I’ll admit it, I had to look at a globe to find where Senegal is at. I had no idea it was a country in West Africa. I may not be be geographically sound, but I know a thing or three about basketball. And the six foot eleven inch …

The euphoria of the World Cup compelled me to purchase this new leather cleats from Adidas. I felt relieved when it came early just even before the much awaited conclusion between Spain and Netherlands. I have been playing this game since high school and proper gear is always important. …

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 …

If you’ve ever seen the Denver Broncos play football then you know that they have one of the best running attacks in the National Football League and have had it for over a decade now. Why? Because Mike Shanahan, the head coach, is a pure genius when it comes …

Earl Barron of the Miami Heat has been with the team for over three years now. He was signed by the team to play if and ever Shaquille O’neal or Alonzo Mourning gets injured. Barron though has played very little and far and off in between. It has been …

For everything that the Philadelphia Eagles are, what they are not is a team without a quarterback. Regardless what you think about Donovan McNabb, he is a very gifted athlete and a tremendous quarterback in the national football league. His problem is, he loves football to a fault. He …

He was a complete surprise for me this year. Being a National Basketball Association fantasy addict, i tried to get the best team after the draft this year out on the court each and every single night. With deep picks in the draft that are considered steals of the …

The commitment of the Detroit Pistons to finally have a bench play this year continues with Ronald Dupree. He has been around the Pistons for quite some time now and was never given any playing time before this season where he was surprised to have gotten the ticks early …

Great for intermediate level players that aren’t ready for the big time sticks like the Flexpoint Prestige, Ncode 6.1 tour, etc., It’s a tad above the tweener rackets since it has more emphasis on control rather than the in-between game the tweeners offer. Used by many touring pros such …

Having been postponed one day because of rain in Milwaukee, the Camping World Truck Series Copart 200 race took place on Saturday afternoon, June 20th. With the field lined up by owner’s points, it was Brian Ickler on the pole, and he did lead the first lap before …

The Dallas Mavericks will forever be known as donkeys in my book. They had the greatest point guard in National Basketball League history and let him go. Not only did they let him go. But they let him go to a divisional rival in the Phoenix Suns. Since joining …

Curtly Ambrose was the legendary west Indies bowler. He was a Superb bowler and can easily be counted as all time grate bowler of all era. He took around 400 wickets in test and more then 300 wickets in one day international. His economy was under three in one …

I am a big fan of ‘The Monster’ Abyss and have been for many years now. He is a TNA original and has been with the company for most part of their short life. He is most notorious for being a violent uncontrollable monster, favoring of course his signature …

The Cleveland Cavaliers own one of the most valuable properties in the NBA in main man Lebron James. They were blessed when they won the 2003 NBA draft lottery as it gave them James who will eventually become an MVP in the league. Being the defending Eastern Conference champion, …

I grew up in a family of baseball lovers. When the Phillies were home, the game was always on. There wasn’t a lot of money in my family at one point, but whenever we could, my dad would take us to watch the Phillies play at “the Vet.” We …

Everyone was excited to watch the free skate portion of the figure skating event for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games. The top three are very close together. Any one of them began the evening knowing they could win gold.
Before the big action, though, the skaters below …

Is one of my all time favorite one day cricketer. He is also one of the most under-estimated cricketers. I have been very impressed by his performance. I hardly remember any time when he has not made runs for his country. He has an expectation average of over 55 …

I don’t see any other point guard in the NBA having more of an upside than Deron Williams has for the Utah Jazz. I really like his game. He scores effortlessly from both beyond the arc and inside it. His leadership skills are already polished as well at a …

CJ Miles of the Utah Jazz has been in the league for over two years now as he is entering his 3rd season this year. The problem is the fact that he has not made any good strides for his career and is in danger of losing his roster …

There are some folks who wonder what’s so hard about driving a car around a track all day. All I can say is, try it, and you’ll find out. Stock car drivers are in those vehicles for hours at a time, without breaks, and oftentimes, the temperature …

Red Bull Racing are, as I write this in the spring of 2010, a bit of an enigma when it comes to Formula One teams. By rights they ought to be streaking away with the world championship, since they have two extremely fast drivers in Mark Webber and Sebastian …

Looking at the names of the top receivers in the league, I always notice Donald Driver’s name is ommitted. He has to be one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL.
Coming to the Packers as a late round draft choice, Driver worked his way up the depth chart …

King Kong Bundy was a heck of a pro wrestler who used his large girth to crush his opponents in the 1970’s and 1980’s. We wrestled a lot on Mid South and World Class, but he become most famous when he went to the WWF in 1985. His big …

Raef LaFrentz is the little known power forward for the Portland Trailblazers. Though not one of the best power forwards in the National Basketball Association, this six foot eleven, nine year man from the Kansas Jayhawks is definitely a top notch player. I’ve only seen him come off the …

Whether it’s doing sit ups in his driveway or holding press conferences to announce that he did not try to kil himself, Terrell Owens seems to love the media spotlight. I’m not sure what type of person it takes to be able to stand all the scrutiny and yet, …

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 …
