From Kuala Lumpur, the 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix was more exciting than most F1 races in my opinion. In fact, after watching some early action and seeing Lewis Hamilton get a warning, my thought was that they need to revisit the blocking rule and let the drivers race. …

When one talks of the world’s greatest players, certainly someone like Ricardo Isacsson Leite Santos comes to my mind, better known as Kaka.

The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race just didn’t hold my interest today while it was on. The event was rain delayed for about 90 minutes, and it was a dreary day here as well, so maybe that had some subliminal effect on my reaction.
It could be …

Deion Branch, when you hear that name you think of the days when he was a member of the New England Patriots, not the current days with the Seattle Seahawks. Why? Obviously because he is having some very rough years in Seattle. The quarterback just isn’t as good, and …

I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …

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 …

Mike Conley Jr. who was drafted as the third overall pick in last years draft behind Kevin Durant who went second to the Seattle Supersonics and to Greg Oden who was drafted first overall by the Portland Trailblazers. I would have thought that Mike will be the heir apparent …

Whenever people talk about quarterbacks, longevity is one of the things that is considered. And, in Vinnie Testaverde’s case, you aren’t going to find many quarterbacks that have lasted longer.

When playing paintball, most people realize that the price of paint is extremely expensive. Seconds paintballs are definitely a good way to beat the price of paintballs.
Of course, seconds paintballs aren’t up to the quality of the other brands of paintballs being sold, and are therefore much cheaper.
Seconds paintballs …

The company that produces …

I read today that the Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Bills’ head coach Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator. I couldn’t think of a better movie.
