Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Short Track - Men’s 1500m
I do love the Winter Olympics, and one of the first events is the Short Track - Men’s 1500m. I have to say that just watching these men skate makes me dizzy. Going around and around on the short track takes such concentration and focus. I …
Antonio Mcdyess
Former Denver Nuggets All-star Antonio Mcdyess who now dons the Detroit Pistons Jersey was one of those annointed as the next line of superstars that would carry the league for years to come. Unfortunately for Mcdyess, he injured his knee and was relegated to a lot of rehabilitation and …
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 …
Mouhamed Sene
I’ll admit it, I had to look at a globe to find where Senegal is at. I had no idea it was a country in West Africa. I may not be be geographically sound, but I know a thing or three about basketball. And the six foot eleven inch …
Nike White Cortez
I found this much too expensive for just casual wear, it’s price was valued at approximately $60.8 USD and I just couldn’t buy it because I would only be getting to wear it when I walk my dog or when I’m in a hurry to get dressed, which doesn’t …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Moguls
Women’s Moguls is an exciting skiing competition that begins with a trick, proceeds to traversing the moguls, and ends with a final trick right before crossing the finish line. The judges award points based on air, speed, and turns. Canadian Jenn Heil was a favorite going in …
NFL 2009 WK 3: Steelers vs. Bengals

The Bengals came into the game as a 1-1 team just coming off a upset against the Packers, looking to knock off the defending Super Bowl champs. Coming into this game, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of …
Fabricio Oberto
Fabricio Oberto of the San Antonio Spurs is a player that compliments All-Star Forward Tim Duncan. He does all the hard, dirty work in the middle and often defends bigger Centers so that Duncan can conserve his energy for the clutch where the team sorely needs his contributions.
What i …
NASCAR Nationwide Race June 14, 2008-Kentucky Speedway
I’ve seen a lot of great races over the years and a lot of great races at the Kentucky Speedway, but this race was not one of them and there are two reasons for that. The first reason is because the announcers are completely worthless and the second reason …
AAFL All American Football League
The new professional football league, the All American Football League, hasn’t played its first game yet. But, based on the concept of the league, who they have on their rosters and when they are playing their games, my opinions are mixed about whether it will be successful or not.
First, …
Charlie Villanueva
I have to admit that i didn’t even know Charlie Villanueva when he first enter the league playing for the Toronto Raptors. But with the big rookie season that he had for that team, as an avid NBA fan, i started taking notice at once. Eventually he was a …
Larry Hughes
Larry Hughes was a former all star who signed with the Cavaliers to help and play second fiddle to Lebron James. He has excellent mid range jumper and can convert on three point shots as well. Larry can also finish his gliding drives with flair and has good speed …
Rodney Carney
Rodney Carney of the Philadelphia 76ers has stagnated his growth in the league so far this season. I was ready to think that he would be an improved player this year with the 76ers not having that true legitimate go to guy anymore with the demise of Allen Iverson …
Tippmann 98 Custom Flatline Barrel
After getting this barrel, I was kind of frustrated that I didn’t get the quick line thread. I constantly am changing between barrels, and every once in a while I’ll need to take the flatline barrel off, which is a complete pain because sometimes it requires completely disassembling my …
Wrestler: Carlito
Carlito is a brilliant talent in both the terms of Wrestling Ability and Microphone skills. Essentially he is a total package and is obviously destined for the main event in due time. He is the son of Carlos Colon, so what would you expect other than pure greatness in …
Green Bay Packers (2008 recap)
Now that the season is officially over for the Green Bay Packers this year and they’ve missed the playoffs with a 6-10 record, I figured I would take a few minutes to review their season and their team.
Entering the season, I definitely believed the Packers were a much better …
Marvin Lewis
After year after year of being called the Bungals, the Cincinatti Bengals finally made a wise decision and picked up former coordinator Marvin Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens to be their head coach. Since there, Marvin Lewis had lead that team from the laughing stock of the league, to …
Firm- DVD series of workouts
While The Firm has been around a while, there are many people that have not jumped on the bandwagon. For those that don’t know, The Firm is a video/dvd series of workouts. They claim “Visible Results within 10 Days or your money back” and it’s true. It involves weights, …
Danny Granger
The Indiana Pacers have been putting some force in the paint. Two years ago they acquired Ike Diogu from Arizona State and Danny Granger from New Mexico. Danny Granger has shown that he is Indiana Pacer material. The six foot eight inch forward is terrorizing opponents with a strong …
Josh Smith
Atlanta Hawks Forward Josh Smith who a year ago won the NBA slam dunk competition has translated his game from his days in high school that was filled with so much talent and expectations that it was hard for him when he entered the league to match those predictions. …
Pro Player Stadium
Pro Player Stadium is one of the most prestigious stadiums in sports; it was the site of one of the best super bowls, and the legendary World Series title that the marlins won for the first time in many years along with many other memorable moments.
This is probably the …
Allen Iverson
Allen Iverson who was very popular in Philadelphia before being traded last year to the Denver Nuggets is probably the best at the fast paced game. Iverson though has been struggling with off the court issues throughout his career and has been much maligned for it.
On the court though, …
Thabo Sefolosha
The Bulls youth movement continues with Thabo Sefolosha. Highly drafted with little to no experience at all. He was an unknown player when he entered the draft in the year ‘04. But i was surprised when the Bulls drafted him early in the second round. He was a virtual …
Santana Moss
The Washington Redskins have had more than their fair share of troubles this past season. Though making it to the playoffs, they were decidedly booted out by a much hungrier, and less beat up Seattle Seahawk team. Though each year, wheter they seem to make the playoffs or not, …
Kwame Brown
Drafted first over-all draft pick by the Washington Wizards in the ‘02 class, Brown has never made up to the reputatation and the expectations that was bestowed on him. At seven feet tall and with the necessary tools and talents to be a great player in the league. Every …
Rasual Butler
Ever since his days with the Miami Heat i have already liked the game of Rasual Butler. He is a very versatile six feet nine inch player who has many arsenal on his disposal that he uses to score in and around the basket. Most impressive of all for …
2010 NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race
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 …
Chicago Bears Post Draft P
OK, so the NFL draft is now over and the Chicago Bears, minus a couple picks because of their trade for Jay Cutler last year will once again be making an effort to re-claim the NFC North crown.
Sorry Bears’ fans, I just don’t see that happening.
There are a couple …
NASCAR - the top 35 rule
For most of its history, NASCAR races featured drivers who raced their way into the field. Regardless of the number of drivers in a race (and it did vary until the last ten years or so), the field was set by qualifying. For the most part, if …
Foxsports.com/NBA
As an alternate to reading NBA.com as the main provider of information for anything NBA i read and scroll through Foxsports.com/nba section. The difference between the 2 sites is that foxsports focuses and gives more emphasis on the articles by its contributing bloggers or writers. The capture their audience …
TJ Ford
Owning the starting point guard duties for the Toronto Raptors is miniscule guard TJ Ford. After a tragic first season in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks when he had that accident that broke his neck and it almost ended his playing career. Ford resurrected his NBA playing career …
2010 FIFA World Cup
The greatest single spectacle in the world, otherwise commonly known as the FIFA World Cup, is a very big part of my life, as a serious soccer fanatic and my life just comes to a halt every four years as everything about me is centered around the World Cup.
It …
Greg Buckner
Greg Buckner i think started the whole three position player in the NBA. He is the first one i remember playing from the two guard position all the way to the power forward spot. This is a position being held today by younger players like Josh Boone of the …
Soccer.com
I was in search for the 2010 Eufa Soccer Ball as early as now because someone close to me is really addicted with soccer, and this is supposed to be my gift for him. The Soccer.com website is by far the best Soccer accessories site ever! They have a …
Wade Phillips
If you watched the Dallas Cowboys play at all this year, then you’ve probably seen their energetic coach on the sidelines, Wade Phillips. Wade is a transplant from colder climates. Once up in Buffalo, he’s now down in Texas to see how his brand of football works with America’s …
IPL’s Twenty -20 Cricket Tournament
This was a unique tournament played in India in April-May 2008 where some of the world’s best cricket players were seen in action. This was a multi million dollar tournament watched by millions of cricket lovers all over the world. I watched a number of matches on the TV. …
Hummer Mountain Bike
My best friend has this superb Hummer mountain bike, which she purchased for close to $700. Fancy such an expensive mountain bike. I managed to ride test it, as she wanted to go jogging on one fine morning, and I asked her to bring along her Hummer.
Boy, …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Snowboard Cross
Women’s Snowboard Cross at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was quite fun. The qualifying was boring, but the heats were much more exciting.
France’s Claire Chapotot stalled out at the beginning of her quarter final heat that included Norway’s Helene Olafsen and Faye Gulini of America. Gulini didn’t …
Wrestler: Abyss
I am a big fan of ‘The Monster’ Abyss and have been for many years now. He is a TNA original and has been with the company for most part of their short life. He is most notorious for being a violent uncontrollable monster, favoring of course his signature …
Edelweiss Liquid Chalk, 250ml
Edelweiss’s product is the first and only liquid chalk I have ever tried. I’ve always used chalk balls in the past but my new indoor climbing gym insists on the liquid variety - and for good reason.
I was happy to make the purchase because using liquid chalk, of any …
Romeo Crennel
I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …
Dwight Howard
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. …
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 …
Robert Ferguson
The Minnesote Vikings got very lucky in last years draft. Their pick for running back, Adrian Peterson, set the NFL rushing record for a single game. Quite the feet for a rookie in this league. That adds some much needed fire power to this offense that has been bland …
2006 Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons are a hard team to judge. On paper, they could very well in be in the Super Bowl this year, considering they have a solid defense and one of the best running games in the league. However, it really comes down to the quarterback position.
Michael Vick …
2007 New Orleans Saints
At the beginning of the season, the New Orleans Saints looked like they would have a terrible year. They were 0-4 and eventually lost their starting running back Deuce McAllister.
But, after a four game win streak, the Saints are back in contention.
I think early on, quarterback Drew Brees was …
Penny Skateboards 22.5 x 6″
Upon purchasing my first penny skateboard I was stoked! I had never owned one personally but pretty much was born on a skateboard so I had ridden some in the past from the small 22.5’s to the wider ones I believe to be called nickles which makes since when …
Antoine walker
Former Boston Celtic and all-star Antoine Walker has taken in a supporting role with the Miami Heat just for the chance in winning it all. This decline in his role is testament to what he has undermied as an important factor in his career and his life. Instead of …
Nate Robinson
Reminiscent of Mugsy Bogues and Spudd Webb, is the New York Knicks small point guard, Nate Robinson. Though I have nothing but contempt and hatred in my heart for the Knicks and the way Thomas is coaching that team into the ground, I like rooting for the little guy, …
