Patrick O’bryant is the Golden State Warriors version of a pet project. He is a good seven foot Center who certainly has an upside in this league. He has good hands, speed and power to be a good contributor someday but as of now, coach Don Nelson and the …

Two years ago, the NBA draft produced some big names. Among these included was not a six foot two guard from the Texas Longhorns by the name of Daniel Gibson. Daniel may have taken this a little personally as he exploded last season as a rookie to give the …

Started his career as an unheralded second round pick for the houston Rockets, Mobley has carved up a career in the league as a valuable three point shooter. He stretches the floor for the interior guys to do their work inside. He is a perfect compliment for a team …

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 …

The 2009 racing season is underway with the Daytona 500. I have a few definite reactions to the big race.
–I’m proud of the 24 team. Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver, and he did a great job all day. He also made a daring call, coming …

Kenny Thomas of the Sacramento Kings has noticeable lost some edge to his game this season so far. He has been lost deep in the bench and averages only a few minutes a game for new head coach Reggie Theus. When he first started out his career with …

The Boston Celtics would have loved to have Delonte West as their starting point guard now but the Seattle Supersonics was adamant that he be a part of any deal involving Ray Allen who has been a fixture with the team for years and years now. Thus, the Celtics …

When I think of the Duke University Blue Devils I think of one name, J.J. Redick. And when I think of J.J. Redick, I think of four words, “Buckets and more buckets.” Okay, I think of three more too, “Nothing but net.” Redick is one of the most fantastically …

We went to see the Orioles play against the Rangers two summers ago and we were gone to Arlington Stadium in Texas. My brother had been asking me to go with them because they live in Shreveport La and attend at least one series of Oriole Baseball at …

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, …

Allen Iverson, from way of the Georgetown Hoyas, has been given a lot of colorful names over his eleven year career. The Answer, The Truth, The Problem, The Pill, The Poison. And now with his trip out to the west coast in signing with the Denver Nuggets, he seems …

It was due to be Englands first major test since their awful World Cup campaign in South Africa. They had played a couple of qualifying games that had not been especially impressive, but now it was France at Wembley. No one really appeared too concerned in the build up. …

Bryan Danielson, probably better known as The American Dragon on the independent circuit is one of the best wrestlers on the circuit right now in my opinion. The technical skill of this young man is easily unmatched right now, and I can’t understand why he isn’t involved in any …

I have to say, I don’t understand this whole NASCAR thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I can find a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than to spend it sitting in front of a TV watching a bunch of cars running around in a circle.
I mean, …

The Denver Nuggets volatile guard JR Smith entered the league with a huge potential. And even I myself joined that bandwagon that proclaimed him as probably the next coming of the great one. He came to the New Orleans Hornets as a highly touted player out of high school. …

Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …

Benson is not an elite running back …

Bobby Simmons has been nothing but a failure for the Milwaukee Bucks since he signed that 6 year $57 million contract that he got from them. It was a disappointing signing for the Milwaukee Bucks as Simmons has been plagued with injuries, inconsistent plays and poor showings when his …

Kim Clisterz is another good player from Belgium. She was also world no.1 for some time, but was finally replaced by justis henin. Like henin, she has also got good power play for ground stroke and serve and volley but she could not keep her good form because of …

Fresh out of high school eleven years ago, power forward/center, Jermaine O’Neal, was thrown right into action for the Indiana Pacers.

If you have not figured out from my previous reviews, I am a Nike Fanatic! I love all of Nike’s products and especially have been mesmerized by their golf department.

Billy Gunn, now competing in TNA under the name Kip James, is one of the most recognizable professional wrestlers from the WWF’s attitude era of wrestling for his gimmick ‘Mr. Ass.’ I was never a big fan of him myself as during the Monday night war era, I supported …

Phoenix Suns Forward/Center Amare Stoudemire who as of now has been recovering from an ACL surgery should be one of the best players in the NBA when Healthy. The fact in professional sports is that health is always an issue. You can easily get injured playing and depending on …

Brutus The Barber Beefcake was one of my personal favorite professional wrestlers in the early 1990’s, and was one of the most entertaining superstars I have ever witnessed. Always coming out with his barber shop clippers and sporting bright clothing, he was also one of the most easily recognized! …

It was a series that was supposed to be a walk in the park for the 2008 Runner-up, the Los Angeles Lakers. Being the top team in the Western Conference after the regular season, it was expected of the LA Lakers to dominate whatever team that it encounter.

“Get Strong—¦Get Ripped—¦Quick!” that’s what the on-box ad copy for the Iron Gym from Pro Fit purports it’s going to do for your body. But, does it live up to the claim? Let’s take a closer look.
Iron Gym isn’t so much a “gym” per se’ as it is a …

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 …

Darius Miles of the Portland Trail Blazers started his career with the Los Angeles Clippers. I remember him and Quentin Richardson playing together in that Clipper team at that time and every time they made a shot or a spectacular play they pump their headbands together. When he first …

OK, as glad as I was to see the Patriots lose in the Super Bowl, I was actually a bit disappointed for linebacker Junior Seau.
Seau is far from being the dominating player he was when he came into the league as a San Diego Charger. But, even after 18 …

There’s something special about the Houston Rockets. I’m not sure if I’m just feeling nostalgiac about Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous comment where he stated “never underestimate the heart of a champion” or if I’m just a huge Yao Ming fan. Regardless of why I think the Rockets are special, I …

Mike Mussina started his baseball career as a Baltimore Oriole. He had a command of the game that was rare in this day and age. He could throw a number of pitches from his two- and four-seam fastballs up to the plate in the 93-94 MPH …

The Packers are entering their eighth game this next weekend against the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers and I thought it would be a good time to sit down and write about the direction this team is taking roughly one-half of the way through their season.
When the Packers started out, …

Tyrus Thomas who was the former third overall pick in the NBA draft has had a slow accent to his career. Although looking back in his collegiate days, I never really thought that he would become a Superstar in this league. His game lacks a little bit of physical …

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 …

This was one of the biggest fixtures of the season. Manchester United at home to Liverpool. What made the game even more intruding this time around was that both teams were not at their best. Wayne Rooney was struggling for Manchester United and Fernando Torres was struggling for Liverpool. …

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 …

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 …

Another player that i didn’t expect to become a star in the NBA is Kevin Martin of the Sacramento Kings. He doesn’t have the persona, the size and the weight to be an unstoppable player in the league. But a superstar is exactly what he has become. He has …

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, …
