Basketball Player: Terrence Williams
Terrence Williams is 6-6, 215 senior forward playing for the University of Louisville basketball team. He plays “point forward,” typically leading the team in assists. His nickname is “T-Will.”
Pros: Williams is probably one of the most gifted athletes in college basketball. He can jump, defend, drive 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 …
Bubba Franks
With a career average of 8.9 yards per catch, Bubba has become a safety blanket for the QB Brett Favre and a lock to get a first down. The sure-handed tight end caught four touchdown passes in 2003, bringing his career total to a huge 21, putting him third …
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 …
Tony Sparano
Now that Tony Sparano has been named Miami Dolphins’ head coach, I have to question the decision a bit.
Not that Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s doing when he hired his former assistant coach, it’s just Sparano might be a bit overrated because he really hasn’t accomplished a whole …
Roger federrer
Roger fedderrer is one of the most successful player of recent times. He has already won most of the grand slam tournaments. He is from Switzerland. He has got an around play and its superior in each an every department of the game. Federrer is almost unbeatable in recent …
Vinnie Testaverde
Whenever people talk about quarterbacks, longevity is one of the things that is considered. And, in Vinnie Testaverde’s case, you aren’t going to find many quarterbacks that have lasted longer.
Testaverde is the first overall pick of the 1987 draft. He’s been in the league for 20 years; something that …
Barcelona v Real Madrid - El Clasico - 2010/11 Season
The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …
Peyton Manning
For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …
Brian Billick
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. …
Richie Frahm
Due to multiple injuries to the Clippers line-up this year, they were forced to sign players from other leagues and from the developmental league as well. Because of this, Richie Frahm was given a chance by the Clippers when they signed him to a non guaranteed contract last month. …
The Coca-Cola Park Stadium
This is another stadium which holds so much history for me, as the football team that I so avidly support has made use of this very stadium as a home ground for as many years as I can remember.
While many memories will eternally live on in me concerning the …
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium-Raymond James Stadium
My boyfriend and I attended the pre-season Buccaneers game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Stadium. Never before had I been there, but I can honestly say that it was a great experience and I would love to return to a game there again someday.
I could feel the rush of …
Tennessee Titans Preseason
Last season, I honestly believed the Tennessee Titans would become the second team in two years to go undefeated in the regular season. They just seemed to be unstoppable and that defense was downright scary.
That wasn’t the case, but the team did finish with the best record and got …
Reggie Bush
Reggie Bush is runningback of the New Orleans Saints, who was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. I was really impressed in his rookie year where he managed to meet the expectations of him coming out of USC, but I really though he had …
Flip Sunders
Detroit Pistons Head coach Flip Sunders has done an admirable job with the Pistons so far. Given the fact that the team does have a nice collection of superstar players. It is still pretty tough to coach this ultra ego guys and have them perform at a high level …
Tony Parker
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 …
Hockey - thumbs up or thumbs down
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 …
Yonex MAVIS 350 Shuttle
A shuttlecock is made of Volant nylon having a cap in red/blue/green color. Shuttle having Red cap is fast & used in cold condition. Similarly shuttle having Blue cap is middle & used in normal condition, And Green cap shuttle is slow & used in warm condition. The most …
Lamar Odom
Lamar Odom loves Los Angeles, there’s no doubt about it. I don’t think he wants to call anywhere “home” unless it’s the Staples Center. Why do I think this? Because after playing for the less popular of the two LA teams, the Clippers, Odom then moved over and signed …
Rafer Alston
Rafer Alston who currently starts for the Houston Rockets has edged out players like Mike James who is a great offensive player in the league, Steve Francis who is a former all star starter in the East playing for the Houston Rockets and Aaron Brooks who was recently signed …
Alando Tucker
Alando Tucker of the Phoenix Suns is the team’s draftee in this year’s NBA draft. He is a solid rookie for the team but has seen very little playing time for now. The Phoenix Suns who will have to use new blood soon as the veterans that they have …
Jim Boylan
The Chicago Bulls had a great team last year. They swept the defending champion Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs and gave the Detroit Pistons, their bitter rivals, all they could handle in six games. Led by head coach Scott Skiles, the Bulls started off poorly …
Justine Henin-Hardiene
I consider Justin Henin-hardeine as the Roger Federer of womens tennis. Although not as dominant as Federer is in the Mens division, Henin is the standard at which woman tennis players are to beat. Her game has evolved after returning from that injury she suffered two years ago. Her …
Theo Ratliff
I consider Theo Ratliff in his prime as one of the best shot blockers out there in the league second only though to Dikembe Mutombo in the modern era. Although he has aged now and is even having trouble staying in the floor due to various injuries, Ratliff can …
Adidas F50 Adizero TRX FG Leather Cleats
The euphoria of the World Cup compelled me to purchase this new leather cleats from Adidas. I felt relieved when it came early just even before the much awaited conclusion between Spain and Netherlands. I have been playing this game since high school and proper gear is always important. …
Darko Milicic
If you were to tell me five years ago that so many European players would be gracing our courts in the NBA, I would have thought you meant the olympics were returning here. Dream Team style. I wouldn’t have figured that you meant players like the Memphis Grizzlies seven …
Marques Colston
The New Orleans Saints are constantly scratching and clawing to keep their heads above water and stay on top of their game. With Drew Brees and Reggie Bush getting most of the face time, it’s lost on a lot of fans that they have a tremendous talent in wide …
Inov8 F-lite 300 running shoes
I took the opportunity to try these shoes when I saw a barely-used pair advertised cheaply on Ebay. They came highly recommended by fellow-runners for their light weight and superb grip. F-lites are marketed as a road shoe but other users said they had performed outstandingly well …
Byron Scott
Another recent player turned coach is the New Orleans Hornets coach, Bryon Scott. With a heavy glare, he seems to look through officials to get calls to go his way. He is a very tough man who takes no garbage from anyone on his team. The Hornets themselves aren’t …
Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar is considered as best batsman of recent time. He averages more then 60 in test matches and around 45 in one day international. He has already had most of the record under his name and the one, that are not under his name are not very far …
Terrell Owens
Few Players in the NFL today are more identified with their number than Owens. Terrell is one of the greatest players in the NFL today to put on No. 81-or any other digits for that matter. Defensive players have gotten tired of chasing that number all around the field …
Chauncey Billups
In my opinion Chauncey Billups is one of the most over-rated point guards of all time. He has benefited greatly from playing in a great team with great chemistry and has taken credit for most of it. I really don’t like his game at all. Some of his avid …
Royal Ivey
The National Basketball Association has some characters. Both on their teams and in their front offices. Ranging from outspoken attitudes to confusing names, the NBA is in no short supply of humor. This was evident to me when I heard the Milwaukee Bucks select Royal Ivey from the Texas …
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 …
Aaron Rodgers
I finally got a chance to see Packers back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers play yesterday after starter Brett Favre got hurt against the Patriots.
From what I saw, in roughly one half of play, I’m not sold on him as the team’s future starter.
Granted, taking over during a 21-0 blowout …
Jermaine O’Neal
Fresh out of high school eleven years ago, power forward/center, Jermaine O’Neal, was thrown right into action for the Indiana Pacers. Along side Reggie Miller, O’Neal spent the first few years as an average player. But considering his top level competition came while attending Eau Claire High School, he …
Miguel Cotto
After the much awaited match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto has come to an end, I’m inclined to write about Cotto out of sheer admiration for the guy. As a Filipino, I was for Pacquiao all throughout the match and would even scream and raise a fist everytime …
Heelys Wave Shoes for Women
Heelys have long been shoes that were made for children and teens, but recently the company began making the wheeled shoes for adults. Reading about how the shoes could be used in sport and to increase fitness, I decided to buy a pair and learn how to Heely. I …
Sam Cassel
Sam I am. 39 years old and still playing at a high level of basketball. I have to give credit to where credit is due. And certainly Cassel deserves that. At 39 and signed by the clippers 4 years ago to teach and foster their lottery pick and prodigy …
Yao Ming
If you put the two and two together with a seven foot six inch tall center, and an athlete, the sports equation would probably equal = clutz. This isn’t the case with the Houston Rockets center, Yao Ming. Yao is known world wide. Hailing from China, the gifted athletic …
MLB Baseball coverage for personal computers
I am a big fan of baseball at any level.
For the last couple of years, I’ve subscribed to On Demand’s baseball coverage on cable. This service has let me watch baseball games when I’m sitting in front of my TV, but frankly it was expensive.
This year I subscribed to …
Madden 09
Another year in the Madden franchise which in the past few years has seemed to be dwindling. Madden 2009 makes a strong comeback and is the first strong title for the next-gen system.
EA sports created over 80 innovations for Madden 09 but its the clear cut big …
Detroit Lions 2008 Recap
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 …
Ruvell Martin
Ruvell Martin was one of those guys on the Green Bay Packers roster that you really don’t know a whole lot about until you see them play. And, now that he’s had some playing time, I think he’s going to develop into a solid receiver.
I don’t know if he’s …
Raiders versus Eagles
I wasn’t sure if Art Shell was the right person to come back and coach the Raiders this year, but I have to admit the team looked pretty good during this pre-season matchup.
The defense forced 5 turnovers and kicker Sebastian Janikowski kicked 3 field goals in the win.
The Eagles …
Adidas F50 P Clima365 Goalie Gloves
I also play golf during occasional times. One of my best friends introduced me to the sport and in the spirit of amity, I decided to try his sport. My first love has always been soccer and surfing. I find the sport too unproductive. During our lessons, I bought …
Cincinnati Bengals
I didn’t know a whole lot about the Cincinnati Bengals this year until I got a chance to watch them first hand last night against the Green Bay Packers in pre-season.
After seeing them, I have to say I think Marvin Lewis needs to be afraid of losing his job …
Othella Harrington
NCAA mens basketball has always had some big named schools, this is especially true of the Georgetown Hoyas who have given the league greats like Patric Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson. There was a little known player in Georgetown during the days of A I, his name was …
William Henderson
William Henderson is not a full back you’ll see in the pro bowl. And, playing for a Packers team that’s in transition, it’s likely you won’t see him in the playoffs before he eventually decides to retire.
However, in my opinion, he’s the best full back in the league. He’s …
