It is so …

Full Tilt seems to stake a lot of its success on using poker pros for …

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 …

When the Dallas Mavericks selected Marquis Daniels i immediately started thinking what an awesome team Dallas will be with Daniels and Josh Howard playing together.

The Detroit Lions had a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. They started out the season six and two behind their quarterback, Jon Kitna. Kitna is a product of bench warmer blues. The talented quarterback has been forced to sit behind less talented started for most …

I golf rarely and poorly, so I do not spend money on my golf equipment often. My clubs and bag were purchased second-hand, and the only purchases I have ever made were a hybrid, shoes and golf balls. I do not enjoy the game enough to spend a lot …

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 …

When the Eagles first signed Jeff Garcia as a back-up quarterback, my question was “why.”
After seeing him play filling in for Donovan McNaab Sunday, I still have the same question.
There is no way Garcia should be playing in the NFL, even as a backup. He no longer has the …

As much as I like Tony Dungy, I do think he’s getting to the point where it is time for him to retire.
Dungy is a player’s coach. He’s serious but not so serious where his players don’t like him. But, his good nature is something that makes the hardships …

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.

It�s now week 11 of the NFL season and the Carolina Panthers are trying to decide who to start at quarterback. The fact they have to think about it really makes me doubt David Carr will be in the league much longer.
When he was quarterbacking for the Houston Texans, …

Phoenix Suns forward James Jones owns one of the quickest releasing shot in the NBA and is quite accuarte with it as well. Under the handling of Reggie Miller whome he played with and mentored him when he was still with the Indiana Pacers, Jones has taken up the …

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 …

As a former sportswriter, I found myself covering tons of talented guys in high school who were poised to be the “next big thing” in the NBA. After seeing many of them fall flat on their face, I often times found it unfair that individals like myself, and the …

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 …

Brees blew through the opposing secondaries to the tune of 3,159 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2004 (104.8 quarterback rating). The former superstar from Purdue’s career-high breakout campaign fueled the Chargers to a 12-4 record and a berth in the postseason. Brees was traded from some reason, maybe its …

Naturally, Mulligan was …

I look around the Kansas City Chiefs roster and I do not see much that resembles talent. The Chiefts have succeeded these past few years with a solid running attack. Now that that’s gone, I don’t see much they can do. With a receiving core that nobody has ever …

When your football team becomes the first time in NFL history to finish its season with a 0-16 record (once thought impossible), there is really very little you can plan to build around. And, while I do think the Detroit Lions are doing some good things team wise, I …

I am neither a fan of the two teams. In fact, I don’t like to see them win so other can have the chance at the championship. However, watching the two of them slug it out in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs was simply amazing!
Defending …

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 …

I’ve been taking the time to look at NFL teams around the league and give my opinion on each of them, based both on what I’ve seen and what I can expect from them next year. In my search, the team that just came up next is the Kansas …

Good looking, complete tecniques, humble, and unmatched. These are the my first impressions when I saw Roger Federer, the most winning player of grandslam championships in the history of tennis.

The Speed Skating 1000 meters event …

I used the Prince More Control tennis racket last year before changing to the Babolat Aero Tour racket. At first i was more impressed with its cosmetics. it has a two toned color(black and white) that produces an effect of having two faces. I expected this to have an …

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 …

OK, I’ll admit it. I was wrong about the Minnesota Vikings. When they first started out, I figured they were overrated and made a mistake bringing Brett Favre out of retirement. But, I’m not convinced, even though they are better than
I thought, that they will hold up the entire …

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 …

When the Packers named Jarrett Bush their Nickel Back, I had some serious concerns about the position. And, through the first few games of the 2007 season, I had plenty of reason to doubt he was the right guy for the job.
But, as he�s gotten more experience, I have …

Jimmie Johnson drives the number 48 car for Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR series. He’s won two championships in a row. Jeff Gordon, my favorite driver, owns the 48 car, along with Rick Hendrick. Chad Knaus is Jimmie Johnson’s crew chief. There is no doubt, …

The AFC West division isn’t the strongest division in the league and it’s reasonable to think just about every team in it has a shot at winning it. However, I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the likely exception to that.
I remember, way back when, the Chiefs were a …

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 …

The Orlando Magic’s franchise got the wishes when they won the ‘02 NBA draft. They selected Dwight David Howard out of South Christian academy in Atlanta. Howard in my humble opinion will eventually blossom into those rare breed of NBA players that are labeled as ” Franchise Changing” players. …

When I was growing up, I used to love pro wrestling and, even as an adult, I would watch on occassion.
Now that the WWF has become the WWE, I can’t stand watching it.
The appeal of pro wrestling during its height in the 80s was it was a clean, family-oriented …

Charlie Bell caught my eye when he was playing guard for the Michigan State Spartans. This was only three short years ago, so I can remember him like it were only yesterday. Though he’s been drafted by and playing with the Milwaukee Bucks organization since then, I think i’d …

After the New England Patriots won a few Super Bowls, they thought it smart to get rid of the players who helped get them there and rest the weight of the world on Tom Brady’s shoulders. This was a pill hard to swallow for Deion Branch who was reportly …
