Desmond Mason originally started his career with the Seattle Supersonics where he joined the Slam Dunk competition and won that exhibition. He was slowly acclaimed as one of those players that can’t do anything else in the basketball court but energize a crowd with spectacular dunks and throw-downs. After …

I finally got a chance to see Packers back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers play yesterday after starter Brett Favre got hurt against the Patriots.
From what I saw, in roughly one half of play, I’m not sold on him as the team’s future starter.
Granted, taking over during a 21-0 blowout …

I don’t recall ever watching the Team Sprint competition before but I have to say that it was definitely exciting to watch the Men’s Team Sprint during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. What I like about this snow event is that it’s a fast competition and we …

The Turks must love their basketball over there. I had no idea that it was players dreams in Europe to play for the NBA. Or is Turkey in Asia? I know that every kid in America dreams of either being an athlete or a rock star. And with the …

Brazil is best known for skimpy thongs the the Carnivale. What they’re little known for is producing athletes for American sports, especially the National Basketball Association.

In 2004, one of the FA Cup semi-finals was worthy of being the actual final due to the size of both clubs involved, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Manchester United had dominated the 90’s which as a fan was excellent for me, but Arsenal had often been a main rival as …

I really don’t know how this team came to it’s downfall. Four years removed from being serious title contenders in the West when they had magnificent starting line-up of Webber, Divac, Bibby, Stojakovic and Christie. Mike Bibby is still running the show with old holdovers in Brad Miller backing …

Paintball is a rather expensive sport, which causes even the most recent players to stop playing eventually, because they really just can’t afford to play all the time. In fact, your average paintball player only plays actively for about a year.
This is why most players tend to get …

I was searching on ebay for a 3 wheel golf cart when this company came up.
The Linksman Golf X9 is the poor man’s version of Sun Mountain’s Micro Cart. The only reason I say this is both use a semi-trolley design but the linksman only has 3 wheels.
This is …

Patrick O’bryant is the Golden State Warriors version of a pet project. He is a good seven foot Center who certainly has an upside in this league. He has good hands, speed and power to be a good contributor someday but as of now, coach Don Nelson and the …

Kyle Lowry of the Memphis Grizzlies is one of the better athletic point guards out there in the league today. Although he has seen less and less of a playing time with the Grizzlies primarily due to the fact that back-up point guard Juan Carlos Navarro has been playing …

Former Slam Dunk King Fred Jones of the New York Knicks has done very little since being dealt to the Knicks. I somewhat admired him when he was still playing for the Indiana Pacers a couple of years back. He was a dynamic player for Rick Carlisle coming off …

If you’ve ever heard anyone call the San Antonio Spurs point guard, Tony Parker lucky, please smack them on the head for me. To say he’s lucky is the biggest understatement of all time. In fact, the only way I can word it to make sense to me is …

Chad Collyer is one of my personal favorites on the independent circuit of professional wrestling today. The second I found out he had been trained by the legendary Dean Malenko, who in my opinion is possibly the greatest pure technical athlete of all time, I immediately browsed far and …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad. A true desire to make his mark saw him play with real …

One of my very first experiences of playing golf in Alabama was when a friend took me to Cambrian Ridge, one of the Trent Jones Trail golf courses. This one is situated in Greenville, Ala. and is a beautiful, pristine course that is great to play and a pleasure …

I really think I would have rated the user-friendliness of this running performance analysis system much higher if connection to the internet was not such a big part of its operation and I had to connect as part of the setup process to download the software to be installed, …

The Toronto Raptors have missed the services of Jorge Garbajosa. I totally blew this picks that i had with Jorge. He was a developing player last year for them and was starting to really contribute when their season ended. Since then Garbajosa broke his ankle and knees. He rested …

The Youtek series is a new brand of racquets that allows the racquets to conform to “you” and your style of playing (hence the name “you” “tek”). After buying this racquet and playing with it on numerous occasions over a year, I am delighted with the overall performance of …

Two years ago, Pat Riley sat up high in his ivory tower and dictated to the peasants that coach Stan Van Gunday wasn’t worth of leading the Miami Heat and their impressive roster to an NBA title. So, upon lopping his head off, (firing him) Pat Riley climbed down …

It had been a stuttering start to the new season for Manchester United. No one could deny that, mainly because their away form so far had simply resulted in conceding late goals and points at both Fulham and Everton.
It was not about to get any easier though as a …

The other day, I was watching a Packers game and one of the announcers mentioned Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and how he reminds them of Brett Favre.
Out of curiosity, I decided to watch a Cowboys game to see just how accurate this description was. And, I was impressed.
When Romo …

Andy Douglas is one of my current personal Favorites in the tag-team division along with his partner Chase Stevens. The Naturals as they are known, bring fresh new life into tag team wrestling which has declined to a major and critical extent since the demise of World Championship Wrestling, …

After seeing the Packers playing Saturday, I came to two conclusions. They need to add veteran offensive linemen and the defense needs experience.
Judging from that performance, in which they only put up 3 points, I think it’ll be another long football season for them. However, they are young guys …

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 …

My boyfriend and I attended the pre-season Buccaneers game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Stadium. Never before had I been there, but I can honestly say that it was a great experience and I would love to return to a game there again someday.
I could feel the rush of …

There’s something special about the Houston Rockets. I’m not sure if I’m just feeling nostalgiac about Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous comment where he stated “never underestimate the heart of a champion” or if I’m just a huge Yao Ming fan. Regardless of why I think the Rockets are special, I …

The Detroit Pistons is a well oiled running team that has been in the contention for the title the last five years. With a solid Starting five and the fact that they have nurtured their young players to someday replace the aging stars that they have, the bench has …

For me, Camby is the best weak side help defender in the league. Majority of his blocks are made helping out. He has led the league in blocks the last couple of years and it shows the type of player Camby is. Although often injured with his slender build, …

The Heddon Supersonic lures, a great example of a item ahead of its time, and ultimately destined to fail. First introduced in the 1970’s, the Supersonics are a freshwater lure made in a large assortment of color schemes. Everything from basic black to shocking pink and everything in between. A …
