NASCAR Cup Race June 29, 2008-New Hampshire
I’m not a big fan of the track in New Hampshire, mainly because it tends to look fairly empty whenever they race there. NASCAR keeps saying that they need to expand to reach all the markets and all the areas where they have fans. That’s true, but I think …
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 …
Dakine Tour Snowboard Bag
I bought my Dakine tour snowboard bag a few years ago to use for trips to the local ski centres
dry slopes and occasional holidays.
The bag I bought is the 165cm one which is big enough to take my 153cm snowboard with bindings attached and still have room for my …
Marty Booker
The Miami Dolphins, who finished this last season one and fifteen, don’t have many, if any, bright spots on their team. But they do have one player on offense who may carry over till next year and make some key plays for them, translating in some wins on the …
Tyson Chandler
Tyson Chandler in my opinion will be the next Marcus Camby. He has the size, the same body type and the same scoring and defense capabilities. Chandler has slowly made strides in becoming a better offensive player this year. And in the play of the Hornets it is quite …
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 …
2010 Anon Realm goggle
Anon is the goggle brand from Burton. They create a big selection of goggles, among these the Realm which I bought. The Realm is a high end goggle with a great fit and an awesome design. It comes in many colors and with a wide variety of lenses.
I …
Vince Young
Vince Young pulled off what most thought was impossible to do in his national championship debut with the University of Texas Longhorns. Their team defeated the reigning national champion USC Trojans which included the powerhouse duo Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. After doing this with last minute heroics, Vince …
Brandon Roy
The starting two guard for the Portland Trail Blazers and the reigning NBA Rookie of the year awardee, Brandon Roy has developed his game further than that of last year. With a better feel for the pro game and bigger confidence after achieving what he did last year in …
Manchester United v Barcelona - 2009 European Cup Final
Being a sports fan is never easy, even if you follow a successful team, as I encountered when Manchester United faced Barcelona in the 2009 European Cup Final.
The year before, my club Manchester United had won the Premier League and European Cup double and they were 90 minutes from …
2007 Rose Bowl
This game can hardly be touted as the 2nd best bowl games of the year.
Michigan and USC is the BCS game I wanted to see, but Ohio State is #1 for sure and Florida isn’t my team by far and I don’t enjoy watching them this year.
2007 Rose Bowl …
Wilson Staff Fifty golf ball
If you enjoy the wonderful game of Golf and have a club head speed of less than 100 mph, you now have a ball that will give you the same performance as the Pros because you can compress it like they compress their golf balls!
Enter the Wilson Staff Fifty. …
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 …
Mike Wahle
It’s interesting to see NFL Guard Mike Wahle continuing his career with the same coach he started his career with, Mike Holmgren. However, if the Seahawks think they are getting the same dominating lineman that left the Green Bay Packers a couple of years ago, they are mistaken.
Wahle is …
Larry Bird
Indiana Pacers General Manager and Former NBA MVP and a Legend Larry Bird has done an inspiring job with the Pacers. Although they are struggling to make the play-offs the last couple of years, the Indiana Pacers have stayed competitive and has given their opponents a run for their …
Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting is present caption of Australian cricket team. He is an aggressive caption and useful right hands batsman. He has scored most number of centuries for Australia and his played some real important knocks, and won matches for Australia as a caption. His average is more than 40 …
Head Metallix 2
The newest generation of Head rackets are the Metallix model. I bought one of these models, the Head Metallix 2 and i have to admit that one of the reason i bought this is because of it’s cosmetics. It looks really nice with its red and silver/gray trimmings. And …
Jason Williams
More popularly known as “the white chocolate” for his earlier exploits as the starting Point guard for that sacramento team on his rookie campaign. Jason Williams has toned down his style of play a bit and has since shown great maturity in his game that exudes confidence in the …
Cam Cameron
Miami Dolphins Head Coach Cam Cameron becomes the latest coach to find himself unemployed.
After finishing 1-15 this season, I highly doubt he’ll land another head coaching job any time soon. But, as an offensive coordinator, he’ll be valuable.
Assuming Marty Schottenheimer returns to coaching this year, don’t be surprised to …
Brevin Knight
Brevin Knight is one of the smallest players in the league right now. But this is not a measure of his character. Knight who has continually battled the public perception on him being too small to play in the big man’s game has in my opinion more than made …
Luke Ridnour
With the Case of Luke Ridnour who was formerly the starter for the Seattle Supersonics, it is a change of fortunes for him. After being invited in the training camp for the Senior Men’s US national team, Ridnour has been in a downhill ever since.
With a new coach at …
Marco Belinelli
I actually saw Marco Belinelli in a live game back when he was playing for the Italian National Club. And back then he was primarily a three point shooter or what they call in International play as a “Zone Buster” type of a player. He was very young when …
Boston Celtics All-Defensive Team
After losing to the Orlando Magic in the semifinals of the NBA Eastern Conference last season, the Boston Celtics will try to comeback and make another run for the NBA championship. What are the reasons? Well, Kevin Garnett is back! After the Big Ticket was sidelined by …
Hook and Hackle Fly Fishing Tackle (www.hookhack.com)
I recently discovered an online company that sells anything and everything you would ever need for fly fishing, and even though this company is based in the US, they ship anywhere in the world. The selection is incredible, the website is easy to use and to find anything by …
Mike Martz
Now that he’s been fired by the Detroit Lions, former head coach and Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz should be a hot commodity for teams looking to boost their offenses.
Even though Martz had some success as a head coach, I do believe his strength is as an offensive coordinator. …
Wrestler: Abyss
I am a big fan of ‘The Monster’ Abyss and have been for many years now. He is a TNA original and has been with the company for most part of their short life. He is most notorious for being a violent uncontrollable monster, favoring of course his signature …
Tom Coughlin
After the year he had last year, one that resulted in him being knocked from the playoffs and then having to hear rants from his former running back, I’m glad Tom Coughlin finally has a shot at the Super Bowl; even though it came at the expense of my …
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers surprised me this year. They are an aging team and I thought the age would catch up to them. But, in an NFC South division that is in turmoil, they have managed to find their way to the top and make the playoffs again.
The defense …
Patrick O’Bryant
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 …
Bobby Petrino
A lot of people are talking about former Atlanta Falcon’s coach Bobby Petrino and how he left the team after just 13 games. Many are taking the time to call him a quitter and other names. I won’t. I will just reiterate what I said when he took the …
Wrestler: Barry Windham
Barry Windham was one of the first people I saw when I first watched Professional Wrestling as a child. He was a heel at the time, so naturally I took a disliking to him as you do when your that age, but as I grew older I started to …
Edelweiss Liquid Chalk, 250ml
Edelweiss’s product is the first and only liquid chalk I have ever tried. I’ve always used chalk balls in the past but my new indoor climbing gym insists on the liquid variety - and for good reason.
I was happy to make the purchase because using liquid chalk, of any …
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. …
Vladimir Radmanovic
Newly acquired LA laker forward Vladimir Radmanovic from Serbia and Montenegro is quite a capable shooter from the outside. At six-feet ten inches tall, Radmanovic often plays from the perimeter and without the ball in his waiting for passes coming from kobe and the point guards. He also moves …
Tim Thomas
Tim Thomas who quit playing for the Knicks early on in his career has resurrected it and has found a home in LA with the clippers. Gifted with incredible range for an almost seven foot guy, Thomas is one of the most agile players i’ve ever seen in a …
Juan Dixon
Juan Dixon is a favorite son of the Maryland Terrapins basketball organization. He was partnered with Steve Blake the year that the Terps made their impressive national championship run. After being selected by the Washington Wizards in the later rounds of the draft, Dixon proved to be a worthy …
Oleksiv Pecherov
Oleksiv Pecherov of the Washington Wizards who is their version of a project has a great upside indeed. I really like the patience that they have shown with this player. Although i doubt that even your regular basketball fans will even know this player, in due time given the …
Tennis Racket: Prince More Control
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 …
Arlington Stadium
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 …
David Haye v Nikolay Valuev - WBA Heavyweight Championship Fight
David Haye had only recently entered the heavyweight division in boxing but had already agreed a deal to fight Nikolay Valuev for the WBA Heavyweight title.
Arranging such a fight had been as a surprise by many in the boxing world. First, pundits and fans were wondering whether he was …
George Steinbrenner Field
George Steinbrenner Field on Tampa Bay is one of the nicest and biggest ballparks I’ve ever been too for a minor league game. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the people that worked there and the people at the game more than usual. The employees were very curtious, even with …
Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist recently declared his retirement from International cricket, this came as a surprise to many who thought he is still in very good form and almost at the peak of his career. Gilchrist enjoys an exceptional record both as wicket keeper and as a batsman, he has …
Red Asics GT-2140
I bought these Asics about a year ago to prepare to run for the Boston Marathon. (I had already qualified for it earlier that year.) My old shoes looked the almost 1,000 miles that it had suffered through, and I saw that my wallet was almost depleted. I headed …
Preseason Bears versus 49ers
From what I saw of the Bears during their first pre-season game, I think you’re going to see another season where their defense will win them the division but their offense will keep them from going far in the playoffs.
Starter Rex Grossman and the first team offense did absolutely …
Speedy Claxton
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 …
Carl Froch - v Mikkel Kessler - Super Six Fight
For anyone that loves boxing, the Super Six event appeared to be a great invention to wake up the Super-Middleweight division. Rather that have lots o pointless fights between boxers throughout the year that meant very little, 6 of the best fighters from the division agreed to take part …
Kosta Perovic
Now this player sort of like intrigues me the first time i heard about him. Kosta Perovic from Croatia is standing at seven feet and two inch tall yet he is playing as a small forward in the NBA. Is that amazing or what? So i decided to search …
Odyssey White Hot Tour Putter
I came across the Odyssey White Hot Tour Putter and I really do not see how this putter can stand out with regards to the other odyssey putter models.
It really is not anything special. It has the general odyssey golf ball centered insert. The putter seemed a little …
RipStick Skateboard
Boys would love reading about this skateboard from RipStick. The name says it all; Rip. Indeed it is. It is a blast skateboarding with this 2-wheeled skater board.
My younger brother has this purplish looking RipStick, and it certainly looks funny at first, as it’s very different …
