F1 - 2009 Australian Grand Prix
To be honest, Formula 1 racing just isn’t my thing. I watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on, or if I’m particularly curious about something. It’s just that compared to NASCAR, F1 bores me.
The opening race of 2009 was in Melbourne, Australia. …

Najeh Davenport
At one point, Najeh Davenport looked like he would be the Packers future starter at running back. Now, if they had more depth at running back, he would be on the street.
Davenport has a good combination of size and speed. However, he never learned to lower his shoulders, which …
Udonis Haslem
When the Miami Heat won the NBA championship just two short seasons ago, they had a huge roster that boasted some legitimate talent. Out of all the recognizable names on the squad were a few that just wanted to make a name for themselves. One of these great young …

Johnny Damon
It seems that money talks and loyalty is a thing of the past. Another example of a decent ball player trading sides for money is Johnny Damon. Johnny Damon left the Boston Red Sox for the blue pinstripes of the Yankees and the money.
He started his …
2007 Houston Texans
The Houston Texans made two mistakes prior to the 2007 season. First, they put their fate in the hands of a back up quarterback who had never won a game he started. Secondly, they invested a lot of money in a running back who barely managed 1,000 yards last …
Ping G10 Driver
I now have a Ping G5 Driver in my golf bag after thinking about it for a while before buying. I finally decided to get my own after testing those belonging to my golf buddies who were forever telling me how good it was. I suppose having the opportunity …

The Nationwide Series continued on February 20, 2010 with the Stater Bros. 300, held in California. Joey Logano had the pole, with his teammate Kyle Busch on the outside. It probably wasn’t a big surprises that this front row ended up in the heat of the battle …
Larry Krystkowiak
The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …
Nenad Kristic
New Jersey Nets forward/center Nenad Kristic who was drafted out of Yugoslavia compliments well with the rest of the superstars the team has. With the trio of the best athletic players in the league and perhaps the history of the game(Carter, Jefferson and kidd)Kristic comes in and be the …
Ronaldo De Assis Moreira (Ronaldinho) Brazilian Soccer Player
Better known as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo De Assis Moriera is undoubtedly one of the most naturally gifted players to have ever played the game of football and at his best he was unplayable at times.

Rod Marinelli
The Detriot Lions are somewhat of a sad commentary in sports. Nothing they ever do seems to work out. Now this has been blamed on everyone from head coaches, quarterbacks, front office management to a fan in the parking lot of the stadium. One thing all of Detriot’s failures …
Chas Johnson
Never in the long history of the National Football League has there been a player as flamboyant as Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Chad Johnson. Chad is the type of guy who don’t care if his team is losing by sixty points, if he scores a touchdown, he’ll moonwalk the …
Spanish Primera La Liga Premier Soccer League
Although many regard the English Barclays Premier League as the best in the world, I beg to differ and for me, that accolade goes to the Spanish Premier League, the Primera La Liga.
As a football purist, there is a certain way I believe the game should be played …
Kris Humphries
Kris Humphries first played in the NBA for the Orlando Magic. He was a very limited player back then that runs like a dang giraffe. He was slow, stiff and seems to lack the abilities to last in the league. Surprisingly after being dealt to the Toronto Raptors he …
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.

Bobby Petrino
A lot of people are talking about former Atlanta Falcon’s coach Bobby Petrino and how he left the team after just 13 games. Many are taking the time to call him a quitter and other names. I won’t. I will just reiterate what I said when he took the …
Longhorns-Aggies Football Game
Thanksgiving always means football, and this Thanksgiving weekend has been no exception. This Thanksgiving we got to see Texas A&M’s Maroon Out game, where they played longtime rivals University of Texas on their home turf at Kyle Field.
Unfortunately for us Aggie fans, the Aggies were outscored. However, …
Randy Foye
Randy Foye whom the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted last year in the Rookie draft is a good player to have in your team. I doubt if he has already tapped half of his potential already. Teaming up with Rashad McCants to form their backcourt of the future. And that would …
Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Iron Set
I just tried out the Nike Victory Red Full Cavity Iron Set and they are fantastic!!
I hit a steel set composed of 3-9 iron, and pitching/sand/approach wedges.
These are some of the best feeling irons I have ever tried out. The way it comes off of the face is …
Rasho Nesterovic
Rasho Nesterovic is a 7 footer out of Slovenia. He is a serviceable big man at best and can contribute on the defensive end. He plays for the Toronto Raptors and starts at times in place of Andrea Bargnani. On the offensive end, Nesterovic has little range on his …
Cuttino Mobley
Cuttino Mobley who was drafted at the second round in the NBA draft by the Houston Rockets and paired with Steve Francis to bring that team back to respectability after the Hakeem Olajuwon Days. He is a consistent threat from the three point range and he also has a …

Augusta Masters Golf Tournament
Attending the annual Masters Golf Tournament at Augusta National is the dream of golfers from all over the world, a dream I was able to realize thanks to a friend of a friend! Masters badges for the tournament are like gold dust and people consistently pay high dollar for …
San Francisco 49ers Preseason
A few years ago, the San Francisco 49ers fired their head coach Steve Mariucci after he went 1-1 in the playoffs. They decided, at that time, he would never get them to the Super Bowl and, because of that, it was time to make a change in the right …
England football team
Now that the 2010 World Cup is over, I suppose it is time to review the performance of the England side, which happens to be my home team. That’s not something I am particularly pleased about, given their disappointing (to use a very mild word) level of achievement in …
Tennis Racket: Prince Original Graphite
This tennis racket was and still is legendary in the 1980’s and the 90’s. Used by Michael Chang to win the US open, this is one of the best frames ever made in tennis. Available in three head sizes, 90, 93, 107 sq. inches the most popular of which …
Golden State Warriors
The team from the Bay, the Golden State Warriors have taken in a new portfolio in the NBA. After being another one of those doormat teams in the league the last decade, the Warriors have finally assembled a significant group of players that for me will guarantee them a …
J.J. Redick
When I think of the Duke University Blue Devils I think of one name, J.J. Redick. And when I think of J.J. Redick, I think of four words, “Buckets and more buckets.” Okay, I think of three more too, “Nothing but net.” Redick is one of the most fantastically …
Confederations cup 2009 draw
I attended the draw for the Confederations cup to be held as a dress rehearsal for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and I generally felt as if they were making something really big out of something which is not all that big. The draw itself was …

Josh Childress
Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Childress who sports a dynamic hairdo has slowly made the transition from a magnificent collegiate career to a respectable career in the NBA. Childress’s game early in his NBA career was a bit too erratic and at best mediocre. But with the additions of other …
Steve Francis
Steve Francis formerly known as “The Franchise” for the Houston Rockets signed with the team this summer for a second try with the Rockets. After being dealt to Orlando Magic for that Tracy McGrady Trade, Francis comes back to Houston playing a different role. He was once the vital …
Andrea Bargnani
Okay, so I got it wrong that Manu Ginobili was from Italy, I’m a profiler. But I know for a fact that the seven foot center from the Toronto Raptors, Andrea Bargnani is from Italy. The Italiano was drafed by Toronto in the draft two years ago. Since joining …
Devin Brown
Devin Brown started his career in the National Basketball Association by winning a championship trophy with the San Antonio Spurs in the West. He was a very popular player there as he grew up and played in the local area. After two more years with the Spurs though, the …
Atomic Hatchet Snowboard
I bought my Atomic Hatchet snowboard 3 years ago when I was looking for a board that would be good to use for kickers and rails at the local snowdome and dryslopes but also be capable of riding all over the mountain for trips to the real stuff in …
Oakland Raiders
So, the Oakland Raiders have elected to stay in-house and go with Tom Cable as their new head coach rather than just on an interim basis. Interesting decision but why do I feel like I’ve heard this all before?
I mean, let’s face it. The only reason the Raiders even …
Boris Diaw
Phoenix Suns Forward/Guard/Center Boris Diaw(his position definition alone tells you the versatility he has) is one of the league’s most versatile big-man. At 6 feet 9inches tall, he can handle the rack and at times last season take the bal up the court when Steve Nash is resting on …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Halfpipe Qualifying
Today I watched the qualifying for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Women’s Halfpipe competition, and it was very interesting.
One of the things that amazes me about this halfpipe competition is that the competitors are different from other athletes. They have a different preparation and the camaraderie and feel of …
Steve Blake
Some Collegiate basketball players you just really do remember even if they have done very little in their careers in the NBA so far. Steve Blake is one of those players i will always remember as the point guard of the University of Maryland. Now in the pro ranks …
Innova Dart disc golf driver
I have been playing disc golf for several years now, and I have putted with a variety of putters. I got my start like a lot of other players, putting with a distance driver or midrange disc. As I recall, I spent my first ten rounds or …
Bob Orlando’s The Fighting Forms of Kuntao Silat
The world of martial arts has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Decades ago, forms training were the main way students practiced their art. This practice has fallen by the wayside since many money martial arts disapprove of the method. Those that are fortunate enough to view a …
Memphis Grizzlies
They will be a lottery team and will be at the bottom of the best division in the league. Looking at their line-up, I’m at a loss as to how they perform so bad with the team that they have. Starting Forward is Pau Gasol who a few years …
NASCAR - yellow flag laps
I follow NASCAR pretty closely these days and have been the last few years. I watched it as a child, too, but left the sport behind into becoming hooked again circa 2005. The one thing that has bugged me, probably more than anything else, since that time …
