2008 Topps Kickoff
2008 Topps Kickoff was a great low end football product released by Topps at the beginning of the 2008 NFL season. I really appreciate this product because it is affordable, at only $1.00 a pack.
This set is based off of the 2008 Topps set, the difference is that …
Jose Juan Barea
After watching Jose Juan Barea play in the FIBA americas tournament against team USA. Coach Avery Johnson decided to give him a shot this year and was happy for the results that he has been getting. Early in the season when Jason Terry and Devin Harris was out for …
Steve Waugh
Steve Waugh is my all time favorite cricketer, this is probably the most impressive captain that Australian has ever produced as well. I like his aggressiveness and positive approach towards the game. He leads his side very well and motivated them thoroughly, apart from his brilliant captaincy, he was …
Brad Johnson
Brad Johnson has been around the league for a long time and there’s a reason. He’s not someone who’s going to light up the field at quarterback and make highlight reels. But, he’s a solid quarterback who is very accurate and very careful with the ball.
Last year, he proved …
Jorge Posada
Jorge Posada was born on 17 August 1971 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. He is a catcher for the New York Yankees. He is ranked as one of the best Yankee catchers ranking high up with Yogi Berra, Elston Howard and Thurman Munson.
He is a powerful …
Innova Firebird disc golf driver
After a couple years of playing disc golf, I decided that I really wanted to develop my overhand and sidearm game. Luckily, there is one disc by Innova that fits both of those niches quite nicely. The disc I’m talking about is the Firebird.
This disc …
NASCAR Cup Race July 4, 2008-Daytona
I’m really disappointed by the way NASCAR races have been going lately and I think a lot of that falls onto the new car they’ve been running. This new car is making things safer and supposedly better, but it’s also making things a lot more boring. I’m used to …
Nordic Track C2155 Treadmill
My sister and I decided that as we were getting older exercise was becoming more important and due to our schedules it was not always possible to go and exercise at a gym so we decided that we would purchase a treadmill. We went searching and decided to …
Carmelo Anthony
The same year the LeBron James was coming out of high school to take the NBA by storm, he had some pretty stiff competition. Syracuse super star, Carmelo Anthony, was also poised to take the NBA head on. Though the two are completely different players, they’re basically the same …
Kershaw Shallot 1840 Pocket Knife
The Shallot is the largest of Kershaw’s “Onion themed” line of folding knives, one step larger than the Leek. It weighs 4.2 oz., has a 3 1/2″ blade, and measures 4 3/8″ when closed. The handles are 410 stainless steel, and the blade is Sandvik 14C28N stainless. …
Rasheed Wallace
One of the most volatile NBA players of all time Rasheed Wallace came into the Detroit Pistons in mid-season and made them the championship team that they are. The Pistons were already a good team when they made that trade for Rasheed virtually for nothing. Instantly the Pistons where …
Robina Woods Golf Club
Robina Woods Golf Club in Robina, Queensland is half an hour from the city. We waited an hour to tee off, since we played on the 6,700-yard (championship tees) course on a Saturday, and up ahead were two flights of women that couldn’t get out fast from the …
Wrestler: Brian Kendrick
Brian Kendrick is a great up and coming performer. He is currently wrestling as a cruiserweight, but from the matches I have seen him take part of in the past, his true talent lies in his technical ability. He was trained by Shawn Michaels, and it is obvious to …
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 …
Atari Bigby
Atari Bigby plays for the NFL with the Green Bay Packers. This year Bigby made a huge jump. He started playing in the European league but made the jump to come play for of all the teams the Green Bay Packers. Bigby is showing why he was able to …
Manchester United v Millwall - 2004 FA Cup Final
2004 saw an FA Cup Final that seemed to make most people other than Manchester United and Millwall fans turn of. It wasn’t that the game promised to be boring, it was more the fact that Manchester United went into this game as huge favourites because they were seen …
NASCAR Cup Race June 8, 2008-Pocono
I’ve been watching NASCAR for quite awhile and today’s race was the first time this season that I turned off the race and started flipping through the channels. There is something about Pocono that is completely boring and it makes me wonder why they use the track for two …
Carl Froch v Jean Pascal - WBC Super Middleweight Title Fight
When Joe Calzaghe vacated his belts and retired and left undefeated, it meant that his WBC Super Middleweight belt became available and the two men to fight it out would be Carl Froch, a man who had been angling for a fight with Calzaghe before he retired and Jean …
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts is probably one of my most favorite quarterbacks of all time. I have three in that category in Bret Favre and Tom Brady. Manning though in my own opinion is one of the best offensive quarterbacks. He has great vision that enables him …
Kevin Garnett(Minnesota Timberwolves)
Kevin Garnett’s highly considered as the best player in the NBA today. Certainly in Fantasy leagues his often drafted ahead of James and Wade. What in my opinion sets him apart from these players is his enthusiasm and passion when playing this game. You can see the burning desire …
Philippine Basketball Association games
When I was a kid and really crazy about basketball, I would watch the games of the Philippine Basketball Association because it is definitely one of the most exciting basketball leagues, sometimes even better than the NBA. Never mind though that the quality of the players are far …
“The Decision” By Lebron James on ESPN
The decision is a program that aired on ESPN about a year ago that Lebron James showed up on to announce which team he was going to play for. He was currently a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers and there were several other teams that …
New York Knicks:Summer 2010
The New York Knicks certainly were not considered an elite franchise for the past 9 years. The NBA always criticizing the moves the franchise made up until two years ago when Donnie Walsh took over as team president. From the day he started working he had two goals; one …
Tony Dungy
As much as I like Tony Dungy, I do think he’s getting to the point where it is time for him to retire.
Dungy is a player’s coach. He’s serious but not so serious where his players don’t like him. But, his good nature is something that makes the hardships …
Carling Cup 2010 - 2011 Season - Manchester United v Wolves
The next round of the Carling Cup saw Manchester United pit their wits against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Last year Wolves had fielded a weakened side in the league at Old Trafford and received widespread criticism for it, but this time the side that was going to play looked quite useful. …
Cam Cameron
Sorry, Cam. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been so disappointed as watching the Miami Dolphins struggle to win a game this year. I really didn’t think they’d win even one. And personally, I was rooting for them to lose them all! But the guy I …
Larry Krystkowiak
The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …
Cuttino Mobley
A few years ago I thought the Houston Rockets were the best team in the west. I guess I’m not the basketball expert I thought because they never made it past the first round of the playoffs. In those years I was picking them to win, my favorite player …
James Jones
Phoenix Suns forward James Jones owns one of the quickest releasing shot in the NBA and is quite accuarte with it as well. Under the handling of Reggie Miller whome he played with and mentored him when he was still with the Indiana Pacers, Jones has taken up the …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Figure Skating - Pairs Short Program
There were twenty couples participating in the Pairs Short Program of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics for figure skating. I love figure skating, but I have to say that I’m really sick and tired of improper scoring, skaters falling, and this crazy holding their legs up by touching …
New Orleans Hornets
I was browsing through foxsports.com yesterday and went to the NBA standings page and i was shocked to see the New Orleans Hornets leading the best division in the NBA. With a solid record of 9 wins and 2 losses, the Hornets leads the defending champion, defending Southwest division …
Wrestling: Egotistical Wrestlers (Gimmicks)
In the sport of professional wrestling, it is a case of ego versus ego wherever you may turn. A prime example of this is the new TNA Wrestling Faction, The Main Event Mafia, which is without a doubt; the biggest collection of ‘kayfabe’ ego’s that the sport has ever …
Raef LaFrentz
Not your average seven footer, Raef Lafrentz breaks the mold when it comes to US-born centers in the NBA as he usually plays from the outside and does little on the paint. Although he is quite valuable and was considered to be a great talent when he entered the …
Devin Hester
Ok, when people talk about Chicago Bears’ player Devin Hester, I will be the first to admit he’s pretty fast. After all, Madden Football gave him the first ever 100 speed rating.
But, I also think he’s very overrated.
The guy is dangerous as a kick returner. But, the fact he …
English Premier League 2010 - 11 Season - Manchester United v Liverpool
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. …
Eric Moulds
The Tennessee Titans are starting to make vast improvements on their once losing team. They went to the playoffs this year in only Vince Young’s second season and will most likely also make it there next year. They have a host of young wide receivers which includes Mike Williams …
Paddy Power Poker
Paddy Power Poker is a member of the iPoker network, and a newer one at that. This is the primary reason why I like it so much; it’s extremely fun, easy to use and be successful!
I’d like to start off by saying that I asked customer service for help …
Mike Walker
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot to look foward to in the coming seasons. Besides making a brilliant change at quarterback and putting in the unflappable David Garrard, the Jaguars have also been busy in the off season, securing players that may very well secure their future. This past …
NASCAR Cup Race June 22, 2008-Sonoma
The NASCAR races at Infineon are typically fairly boring at least in my opinion. I have a hard time staying focused on the races that take place at the road courses because you don’t see a lot of racing going on. The drivers tend to play it safe and …
Baltimore Ravens
Now that the Ravens are in need of a head coach, let’s take a look at what the new guy in charge will inherit.
The Ravens are about 7 years removed from a Super Bowl title. The dominating defense that won them that title grew old and most of the …
David West
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 …
Javon Walker
A couple of years ago, Javon Walker wanted to be paid like one of the best wide receivers in the league. The Green Bay Packers said no and, a year later, he forced them to trade him.
The Denver Broncos bit and paid him the money he was seeking only …
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 …
Squash
Squash
First and foremost, this game is for everyone, you don’t have to be young and fit, you can be any age, male or female. You don’t have to be rich to play, all you need is a pair of non-marking shoes and a racket, there are courts at …
Fort Langley Golf Course
For a beginner golfer like me, it is difficult to find a golf course that is not intimidating, while at the same time, has nice scenery to make the experience somewhat enjoyable. (I say somewhat enjoyable because I do not find golf particularly enjoyable at the best of times). …
Nietes vs. Rodriguez: WBO Minimum Weight Championship
Donnie Nietes was able to defend his WBO minimum weight championship title against Marlon Rodriguez last weekend. Although the fight was held in his opponent’s hometown of Mexico, he still scored a unanimous decision victory. This proved the ability of Nietes to fight well even in hostile territory. Not …
Verona Hills Golf Club
Verona Hills is a beautiful and well maintained golf course located in the thumb of Michigan. Not something you would expect to find in the vast flat farmlands of the area, Verona Hills 18 hole championship course is indeed a pleasant novelty. It’s been there since 1924 and I often …
Tony Romo
When the Cowboys benched Drew Bledsoe in favor of Tony Romo earlier this season, I thought they were cashing in the rest of their year.
I have to admit though, Romo has looked pretty good so far.
He is definitely much more mobile than Bledsoe was, which was needed considering the …
NASCAR - Daytona 500
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 …
Raja Bell
Raja Bell is one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league. Night in and night out he goes after the opposing teams most dominant player and often Bell does the job. He has a solid body and a good speed that allows him to stay on his feet …
