I’m really happy to see that Stan Van Gundy got himself another coaching job after Pat Riley gave him the boot from on high three years ago. The Van Gundy family has two very talented, basketball minded coaches with Stan and older brother, Jeff. I was thinking that Stan …

Somehow Jeff Foster of the Indiana Pacers have never developed into a better offensive player in the NBA than what he is now. I like him in the fact that he is a very good rebounder both offensively and defensively. He is really good at tipping in shots as …

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 …

Well, I’ve been holding off on writing my opinion about the various NFL teams until I had a chance to see them in action. And, when I say in action, I mean real action; not the fake action you see in preseason.
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the …

Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …

I recently bought the Bonfire Radiant snowboard jacket and after a few weeks use thought it was worthy of a review.
I bought this mainly to use for work as I work outdoors in all weathers I needed something that would keep me dry and warm while still being breathable …

If you caught the western conference playoffs for the National Basketball Association last year, or the year before, then you’ve probably seen the Phoenix Suns come oh so close to visiting the finals. The Suns are a very talented basketball team. And a big part of that comes from …

Tennis great Roger Federer has dominated the game of tenns the last three years now. Outside of the French Open where he has a hard time getting by Arch Nemesis Rafael Nadal who specializes in Clay courts, Federer is virtually unbeabtable in grass and hard courts. He has won …

I was introduced to Chelsea Football Club as one of the bigger teams of the English Premier League, as one of the traditional, so called —˜Big Four’, with Leeds United not lagging too far behind Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, in no particular order.
I only recently started looking …

There’s probably no greater known and no greater loved and respected coach in the National Football League today then Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungy. The man is a pillar of faith over on the sidelines and to know about his life, and the strength the man has, is …

Detroit Pistons all-star guard Richard Hamilton is one of the games best midrange shooters. He often gets his points by moving without the ball and getting to designated spots in the court that frees him up to unleash those wicked midrange jumpers which he shoots with great accuracy. Over …

The Dallas Mavericks will forever be known as donkeys in my book. They had the greatest point guard in National Basketball League history and let him go. Not only did they let him go. But they let him go to a divisional rival in the Phoenix Suns. Since joining …

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 …

I LOVED Bam Bam Bigelow and followed him throughout his career since the 90’s. He in my opinion was probably the best big man in the history of our sport, weighing near 400 pounds but still able to fly, how many big men can do that? Put it this …

When the Chargers started the 2007 season, it looked like they made a huge mistake firing Marty Schottenheimer last year. But, as the season progressed and the team got more comfortable with Norv Turner, I think they will once again be a dangerous team in the AFC playoffs. Granted, …

Over these past few years, San Francisco 49er quarterback, Alex Smith hasn’t seemed to work out. Coming out of college this kid had some high hopes attached and weighing down on his shoulders, and he hasn’t seemed to handle it well if at all. His first year in the …

Manchester United headed into the home game with Blackburn Rovers, with Rooney back in the side, but Berbatov without a goal ion 10 games and Manchester United yet to really play well and thrash a team this season.
This game saw them produce something they had yet to really achieve …

Brandon Bass of the Dallas Mavericks totally caught me off guard this year. I didn’t even know who this guy was and there he goes playing every game of the year and averaging a respectable seven points and five rebounds a game. This is quite impressive for someone not …

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 …

Another one of the influx of point guards that the Atlanta Hawks have collected is Speedy Claxton. First off, i would just like to comment on the current Hawks position. They do have a very good team. perhaps one of the best in the league in terms of potential …

This man has been coaching the Utah Jazz since I was eight years old. I’m twenty-seven now, about to turn twenty-eight, and my entire life as a basketball fan has been spent seeing Jerry Sloan on the Jazz’s sidelines. It’s amazing how long he has been coaching the same …

If you watch a lot of television, and in particular pay attention to the online poker commercials that come on more and more frequently every day, you’ll doubtless have seen commercials for Full Tilt Poker.
Full Tilt seems to stake a lot of its success on using poker pros for …

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 …

I took some time to express my opinion of the Harlem Globetrotters and how entertaining they are to watch. But, I also want to take a few moments to also commend the Washington Generals; one of the teams the Globetrotters always beat.
Most people will wonder why I’m doing this. …

David West of the New Orleans Hornets started his career as a nobody. He came into the league with little to no credentials at all and he was given little playing time at first. But, with the continued growth of West both on and off the court. The Hornets …

I love riding on our Mongoose Pro mountain bike. Well, it’s actually my husband’s bike so I just borrow it when I want to use it. I think he bought it for about $500. But he bought it in the Philippines so I guess it will be cheaper in …

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 …

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 …

Now here’s a coach that you better obey! If not, you may end up sleeping with the fishes. It’s no wonder why the people of New York loves their new head coach, Eric Mangini. Not only did he take the Jets to the playoffs in his first year there, …

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 …

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

If the Mannings are like the Bush’s of the National Football League, then the Barry’s are like the Kennedy’s of the National Basketball Association. Brent Barry, son of professional basketball player, Rick Barry, is alost one of four basketball playing brothers. Drew, Scooter and Jon. Brent is by far …

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 NASCAR 2009 Nationwide Race - Fontana was a bit one sided, unfortunately. Kyle Busch pretty much walked away with the win, which was a record-setting second win for the day, since he had already won the truck race. No driver had ever won two major events in …

Belgian Tennis superstar Kim Clijsters has succesfully recovered from an ankle injury she suffered over three years ago and has been making waves again in the professional women’s tennis circuit. Lucky for her that she still owns one of the games biggest forehands that has become her bread and …

The consensus starter for the point guard position of the Los Angeles Clippers is star guard Sam Cassell. He is also one of the oldest players in the league but when healthy and in the mix of things he can still get the job done. Early in the season …

It is really a disgrace as to what happened to Matt Harpring’s career. Going into the league, i saw Harpring as a type of player that makes a championship contender team complete with his play. He hustles for the loose ball, he defense hard every single position, he offers …

The Luverne Country Club about 40 miles south of Montgomery, Alabama is not the most prestigious golf club you will ever visit, but it is definitely one of the friendliest. I have played at Luverne every summer for the past 9 years and feel as though I am one …

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. …

What can I say? The ultimate scoring machine in the NBA right now. Needless to say his very valuable to the Lakers. He often creates his shots with wicked jab steps and crossover moves, head fakes, pump fakes and freakish speed to accomplish his fadeaway shots, drive to the …

Very nice item if you can afford it. (If you are a smart shopper you will drop about $300-350 after shipping)
Well built, and very useful. You adjust the weight by simply turning a dial. From 5-52.5 lbs in very small increments. You could go from 5,7.5,10,12.5,15, and on upward …

Bob Backlund was the WWWF champion from 1978 - 1983. He had becomes a controversial figure because he was a rather bland champion who decidedly lacked charisma, but he maintained a solid drawing card ability that did not diminish until the very last few months of his title reign. …

I just got my membership at the Country Club, so I needed a set of golf clubs that had style. The Distance Master Red 17 Piece Men’s Complete Set of clubs are just as gorgeous as they are functional. A lot of golf is a mind game, and having …

Here’s how I summarize the Carolina Panthers; they lost their starting quarterback for the season and their back up quarterbacks, including Vinnie Testaverde, who was signed a couple of weeks into the regular season, can’t seem to stay healthy. However, they are 4-4 and are still in the playoff …

Since I am one of those football followers who love to see a bit a skill and flair, Lionel Messi would naturally be one of the players I admire the most and watching him in action and analysing his game is always a nice activity to get into. I …

‘Skip to the lou’ as he is often called in the parks of new york where he is legendary on the playgrounds Rafer Alston who now plays for the Houston Rockets is an enigmatic player who is very popular in the NBA. He can shoot with tremendous …

Though for some reason I’ve never been a fan of the NCAA mens basketball division 1 team, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, I have always been a fan of Chris Bosh. I loved watching Bosh play in college five years ago. He was super tall, coming in aat six …

To the older English football fan the most famous FA Cup Final ever is probably what became to be known as the Matthews Final, except possibly the one in 1923 at Wembley when a mounted policeman on a white horse ushered the overspill crowds off the pitch so that …

Since I had previously been to this stadium for one of the games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup games, I thought it would be quite interesting to see how the stadium is run after the professional manner in which it was in the duration of the World Championships.
I …
