Widely regarded as the best league in the world, I am rather mixed in opinion as to weather the Barclays Premiership is in fact the best football league in the world. If it is though, I don’t think it beats the rest by much.
In terms of organization, money and …

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.
Billick isn�t an offensive genius, like many people thought he would be when he was hired 9 years ago. …

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 decided to replace their all-time leading scorer with a kicker that had only attempted one field goal in the NFL and missed I admit I was skeptical.

So far, through 5 games, Rayner is 8 …

I have always thought that Miami Heat General Manager/Head Coach Pat RIley is an old fraud. He took over the team after he initiated deals that netted him a rather healthy O’neal away from the Los Angeles Lakers. When he noticed that his team had the chance to get …

While the Seattle Seahawks enter the NFC playoffs as the 3rd seed, I have to think they are entering as one of the weaker teams in the post season.

Quarterback Byron Leftwich got his first start with the Atlanta Falcons this past weekend and didn�t even finish the game before he got hurt. That, in my opinion, paints a clear picture about why he won�t be a successful NFL quarterback.
Leftwich has the physical tools to play the game. …

We bought the Bic 7ft3 mini mal surfboard to teach my friend to surf last year.

The outcome of this game will, obviously, depend on which side you were rooting for. I, as a Ravens fan, did not like this game.
Putting aside my own fandom, one thing everyone noticed was the insane amount of penalties. They actually managed to get over …

Jarvis Hayes of the Detroit Pistons started his young career with the Washington Wizards playing alongside the likes of Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. He has made some strides in his career in the NBA but he still generally lacks the overall confidence that will make him …

If there was ever an overrated player, Tom Brady fits the description.
As quarterback for the New England Patriots, Brady has won 3 Super Bowl Rings. But, let’s face the facts; could he have done that with any other team? I don’t think he could.
The reality is, Brady is a …

The Women’s Super Combined is one of the sports I love to watch during any Winter Olympics, including this 2010 Vancouver one. Of course, it’s extra exciting if your country has a chance to win a medal or two. The Super Combined totals the times of one …
