Part of the things I dislike about golf is that when you live in a climate like the west coast of BC, you cannot expect a lot of non-rainy days, so if you are going to spend any time outside at all, you have to have the right rain …

Whenever I catch a glimpse of Liverpool in action these days, I get a bit sad that one of our greatest rivals has succumbed to being reduced to an ordinary team, and as an Arsenal fan, contending with the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in addition …

When the Green Bay Packers traded away Javon Walker during the 2006 draft, critics said they would never be able to replace his production. I’m very excited to say they may have found his replacement.
Greg Jennings is a rookie receiver and does make rookie mistakes throughout the games. However, …

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, …

It was the start of a brand new Premier League season and for the first time in 3 years, Manchester United, my team were not starting the new season as Champions as this honour had gone to Chelsea.

I’m a pretty big football fan. I’m not hardcore like some people are and I really only follow my two teams (Ravens and Redskins) but I enjoy watching it and I get excited when Football season starts to ramp up and get going.
Before the season starts, however, there …

Minnesota Timberwolves who owned the seventh overall selection in this years draft took university of Florida Gators standout Corey Brewer. Many projected Brewer as probably the next Scottie Pippen in the league. They both have the same attributes physically in the sense that they are both tall and lanky. …

The veteran Eric Snow of the Cleveland Cavaliers is one of the guys i respect in the league. I remember him when he was a rookie in the league and he was playing for the Seattle Supersonics. Back then he was young and very thin and he was strictly …

By far the best footballer I have ever seen in my time, although I was not privileged enough to catch all of the best games Zidane played in.
My first real encounter with the magical touch of Zinedine Zidane was during the 1998 FIFA World Cup, when he almost single …

I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …

Washington wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas is another one of those highly scoring point guards. Coming out of Arizona University, he expected to be drafted at the early rounds of the NBA draft that year. Instead he landed at the second round. This has always been his motivation in …

Super Bowl XLIII is in a couple of days and I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to watch it (I might for the commercials). But, I can tell you one thing I definitely won’t be watching; the annual NFL Pro Bowl.
A few years ago, the Pro Bowl was …

I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …

I bought this monofin a few years ago as part of a mermaid-tail project. I still have it today, and I don’t regret buying it, even though I only use it occasionally. It’s probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
For those who don’t know, a monofin is …

Quincy Douby, the one year guard out of Rutgers University, will no doubt make a name for himself in this league. I’ve seen the kid play. There have only been a few guards I’ve seen in the past decade that can do what he does. He can run the …

Good looking, complete tecniques, humble, and unmatched. These are the my first impressions when I saw Roger Federer, the most winning player of grandslam championships in the history of tennis.

After yet another losing season, the Detroit Lions decided to make a major change to turn their fortunes around�.they fired their offensive coordinator. Give me a break.
How many lives does Lions general manager Matt Millen have? Don’t get me wrong, as a Packers fan, I’m glad he’s calling the …

The more I watch Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson play, the more I think he’s going to end up being a waste of a second round pick.
Running backs typically start showing their skills immediately at the NFL level because it’s a position that relies almost solely on instinct. …

Back when Rasheed Wallace played for the Portland Trailblazers, I used to be a fan. I used to tune in and watch Sheed in the middle with his partner in crime, Bonzi Wells. Bonzi was unmistakeable. You could spot him from a mile away with his big six foot …

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 …

America finally struck through the Nordic Combined barrier for the Olympic games. For decades upon decades, the USA has been shut out of these events, never scoring any medals. Finally, during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, we’ve made some headway.
The Men’s Large Hill event is in two …

Brooking put forth some filthy efforts for the “Dirty Birds” in 2003. The Prow Bowl linebacker led the Falcons with 144 tackles, that made him second in the NFC, and had five games with double-digit solo stops. He seems pretty small to be doing that at 6′2″ and 245 …

Even when Micheal Jordan roamed the NBA courts i have always adored Penny Hardaway. Coming out of Memphis, Hardaway was selected 3rd overall by the Golden State Warriors, on draft day he was traded to the Orlando Magic for the rights of the first overall selection of Chris Webber …

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 …

Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers has taken a long time to develop into a formidable player in the league. Slowly as it may seem though, he has in my opinion created a name for himself as a legit NBA player that can shoot the ball as a …

Playing for my beloved Oakland Raiders for quite a few years now, Jerry Porter finally seems ready to take over as the go-to number one receiver on the team. He was a welcomed addition in the early 2000’s where he played third receiver to Jerry Rice and Tim Brown …

The Detroit Lions had a good chance of going to the playoffs this year. They started out the season six and two behind their quarterback, Jon Kitna. Kitna is a product of bench warmer blues. The talented quarterback has been forced to sit behind less talented started for most …

Bates ran dominating defenses on the Miami Dolphins and, in his one year with the Green Bay Packers, …

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 …
