The Gait Icon was my first lacrosse stick and I have found it to be an excellent stick. Although it is meant for beginners, the Icon will hold out well at intermediate and expert levels of play. It is reasonably priced at around £40-50 and is …

When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …

Brodie Croyle was a great starting quarterback for the University of Alabama. Croyle was great throughout the entire season and helped his team along almost all by himself. Brodie’s teammates all looked up to him sort of as the team leader. If your looking for someone that can …

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 …

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, …

Although retired now, i just can’t dare not to review the perhaps the greatest player to grace the courts of basketball. Michael Jordan was and will always be on a league in his own. Unparalleled player only levelled with by an elite few in the history of the game. …

This is Odyssey’s newest edition to their putter family. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the new 2010 Odyssey Black Series Tour Design.

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 …

Of all the teams which are competing at the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the one which I am most intrigued by is North Korea - or “Korea DPR” as their management team insists everybody should refer to them. Of course, at least part of their attraction is in the …

While the tactical standard of African football is generally behind that of the Europeans, the technical ability and skill levels of the players, I think, is evidently superior.
I really got confirmation to this after I watched this year’s AFCON finals and I have to say that I really think …

When the Green Bay Packers promoted Joe Philbin to offensive coordinator this past off season, I questioned the move. Even though Philbin has an excellent NFL resume, I really felt that, considering the team’s offensive struggles last year, they needed an experienced coordinator to help get things running smoothly.
So …

At one point, I thought Packers running back Vernand Morency could turn into a starter and a steal for the team. Now, I think he’ll be lucky if he’s still around next season.
Morency possesses decent speed and showed some flashes of greatness as a back up to Ahman Green …

When the Packers signed Charles Woodson as a free agent, I wasn�t sure what they were getting. But, as I�ve seen him play on the field, I have to admit he was worth every penny they paid him.
Now that he�s fully healthy, Woodson is proving he�s still a shut-down …

The Charlotte Bobcats confuse me, where they the Charlotte Hornetts once? I don’t really know. I can’t keep up with the way basketball is moving. Now the Hornetts are the New Orleans Hornetts and Baron Davis plays for Golden State. The only thing I know for sure about the …

Why do they let criminals play in the National Basketball Association. (NBA) Is it because the kids look up to that sort of garbage? Oh, nevermind. It’s because it sells tickets and gets rating. Basketball is going the way of the gangtsa rapper, evidenced by the allowance of Ron …

The 15km Pursuit in Cross Country during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was much more exciting than I had thought it would be. It’s somewhat of a marathon, and I’m not a big marathon fan. The difference is that this race is on skis, with beautiful scenery. …

Can you imagine doing anything for sixteen years. The same job, day after day, month after month, year after year. It might drive some people crazy. It doesn’t have that effect on the Houston Rockets back up center, Dikembe Mutombo. He is an ageless wonder from the Georgetown Hoyas …
