The New York Knicks certainly were not considered an elite franchise for the past 9 years. The NBA always criticizing the moves the franchise made up until two years ago when Donnie Walsh took over as team president. From the day he started working he had two goals; one …

When Jack Del Rio came to the Jacksonville Jaguars, I truly believed he would be the guy to get that franchise back on the right track and competing in the AFC South. He had the right attitude and I thought he would be a coach the players would love …

If there was a team on the rise in the East then i would have to say that it is the Charlotte Bobcats. Acquiring Jason Richardson on a draft day trade with the Golden State Warriors gave them that go to scorer who can create his own shots on …

Ever since having a big game against the Green Bay Packers during the NFC Title game, Plaxico Burress is acting like he’s an elite receiver in the NFL. He’s far from it.
Burress is a decent number one receiver. But, he’s also seriously overrated. That’s why the Steelers, who drafted …

These past thirteen years went by quick. I can remember vividly when Jason Kidd came out of California the same year that Grant Hill came out of Duke and the two were Co-MVP’s of the National Basketball Association. Since then, Kidd has carved out a spot as, not only …

Although Grant is nearing the end of his career, he was and could still be a great tough player. Grant on his haydays playing for the Portland Trailblazers was a very tough player both offensively and defensively. He was a very solid inside and was like a rock to …

Boston versus L.A., the fierce rivalry that has been existing for decades was revitalized just last week. This series was supposed to be a series that would rejuvenate the old rivalry that dates back since the early years of the NBA. But due to the dominance of the Celtics …

Over the course of NBA history, the life expectany of a bench player has been short to say the least. Most players who don’t start get traded around and end up either unable to find a team willing to take a chance, or they get frustrated and retire. I’m …

Sadly for Marcus Williams he hasn’t played a game so far this year. Plagued with injuries since the opening game of the season. Williams has got nothing to do but wait for his injuries to heal and get his chance to play again for the New Jersey Nets. With …

I know his injured right now and is out for the next 4 weeks, Still i cannot see the development that this kid has showed since the start of the season. Before he got injured, Diogu was an integral part of the great start that the Pacers had …

This must be one of the most boring racing classes that is broadcasted on TV these days. There is nothing, absolutely nothing exciting on it anymore. After they introduced a few rules too far. I can understand that the safety of the driver is important especially after what …

New York Knicks Guard Quentin Richardson who came over from the Phoenix Suns last year after a succesfull season their. Was non-existent last year for the Knicks. He was somewhat lost in the rotation with the superb line-up of other guards the Knicks had (Marbury, Francis, Robinson, Rose) and …

It took the England cricket selectors much too long, in my opinion, to give Andrew Strauss the national captaincy (at least as far as Test cricket is concerned) on a permanent basis. When Michael Vaughan stepped down, Strauss performed pretty well in a tricky series against Pakistan, but was …

Eddie Jordan, not to be confused with Michael Jordan, is the coach of the very young and very talented Washington Wizards. Eddie is a hands on coach whose duties extend to off-court management of players to ensure they get the best mentoring possible to make them better men after …

There is no other tennis athlete out there more enjoyable to watch than Roger Federer, if not ever. The smooth strokes like an artist at work, the effortless footwork and the style of play all fit together and for the past 6 years or so, this individual has dominated …

Part of the things I dislike about golf is that when you live in a climate like the west coast of BC, you cannot expect a lot of non-rainy days, so if you are going to spend any time outside at all, you have to have the right rain …

Forward/Center Ike Diogu of the Golden state warriors is a bit rough around the edges. He just came off an injury plagued rookie season which was somewhat successful as he was vital to their chase for that play-offs spot. When he came back from that injury he suffered early …

With the New York Jets trying to figure out exactly what went wrong this past season, you can bet one of the future casualties will be former starting quarterback Chad Pennington.
In some ways, I feel Pennington is being turned into the scape goat for what was a horrible season …

Look around the NBA today and there’s probably one stand out player on every team. These players range in size and personal strengths but they all most likely share one thing is common…popularity. Now, popular doesn’t necessarily mean good and of course good doesn’t necessarily mean the player will …

Mario West is actually a good player for the Atlanta Hawks. The problem is the Hawks a lot of very good athletic, ultra talented players at the forward position. He has a bit of a range for a big guy and can play tough interior defense. He is primarily …

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 …

Steve Nash the point guard of the Phoenix Suns and the reigning two time MVP of the league is undoubtably the best pure point guard around. Highly a pass first PG and scoring is only his second option. What separates Steve from other Guards around the league is the …

If there is one under-rated player in the PBA today, it has to be the Purefoods TJ Giant’s Richard Yee. For all I care, Yee deserved a spot in the rotation of Coach Ryan Gregorio. He is tall and athletic and can definitely provide quality minutes off the bench. …

When I was a kid, I tried to like hockey, I really did. My uncle was into sports big time, and he liked hockey a lot. He took me to a game once, and I really wanted to enjoy it. The problem was, I just couldn’t follow …

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. …

Mike Dunleavy of the Golden State Warriors who’s also the son of the coach of the Los Angeles Clippers defines in my opionion the combination of potential and versatility. At six-feet nine inches, Dunleavy can easily handle the ball and take it up the court. He can also drive …

My uncle attended the University of Maryland, so I kind of grew up a fan by force. I always pronounced their team name “Terror Pins” when I was a kid. Only later did I realize that it was the Maryland Terrapins. And to this day, I still have absolutely …

Shaun Livingston of the Los Angeles Clippers suffered the scariest injury that i have ever seen in the NBA. It was really sad what happened to him on a break away lay-up that really was his own doing. There was literally nobody around him as he stole the ball …

I played a little out of the way golf course while visiting friends in Alabama. The country club in Opp, Alabama is a pretty basic little golf course that I happened to play one weekend because they had organized a scramble tournament. I do not envisage ever going back …

Currently owning the Houston Rockets starting point guard position over Rafer Alston, James is more of an offensive threat than Alston is. He is a very reliable three point shooter who can also do a one dribble and get inside the three point line and shoot that long two …
