Pacquiao Vs Clottey - Boxing Flop of the Century
Last Sunday, everyone was at a stand still, waiting for the fight, that was supposed to be one of the greatest and hardest for pound for pound Filipino Boxer Manny Pacquiao since his opponent was supposed to be bigger and stronger. Many paid good money just to be …
Tim Duncan
Tim Duncan probably is the NBA’s best player when healthy right now. He impacts the game in so many ways that he often contributes in the smallest of ways often unknown to himself. He creates open lanes for his teammates especially Tony Parker that leads to uncontested baskets in …
Shaquille O’Neal
You don’t need to be an NBA basketball fan to know Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq is recognizeabale the world over and has done everything from reality TV to movies. He’s been a successful rapper and a predominant figure in communities, and now he’s even an honorary member of the police …
Luther Head
Luther Head who was drafted by the Houston Rockets started the season in a slump early. I remember drafting him on some of my deeper fantasy league teams and was really pissed at myself for doing so when he produced something like three points in his first five games. …
Wrestler: Bryan Danielson
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 …
Minnesota Vikings Preseason
Heading into the pre-season the talk out of Minnesota was how Brett Favre would come out of retirement again and would likely quarterback the Vikings next year. Favre decided to stay retired so it’s time to look at where Minnesota now stands with training camps now on the way. …
Dallas Mavericks offseason reviewed
The runner-up of last years NBA Finals made roster changes this season. they acquired Anthony Johnson who was instrumental in indiana’s play-off push last year when he averaged 20 points and eight assist per game in the series against Jason Kidd and the New Jersey nets. They sent veteran …
Randy Foye
Randy Foye whom the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted last year in the Rookie draft is a good player to have in your team. I doubt if he has already tapped half of his potential already. Teaming up with Rashad McCants to form their backcourt of the future. And that would …
Rashard Lewis
Rashard Lewis. An intriguing talent to most NBA managers and to myself. I consider myself a knowledgeable NBA fan and an avid supporter of the game in general and for me Lewis has that type of Game and body that can elevate himself to greatness. at 6′10″ he …
US Open 2008: Federer vs. Murray
An up and coming youngster from Britain and a fading champion from Switzerland (in the eyes of most critics anyway) stood face to face at one of the grandest of stages in tennis with one itching to win his first ever career grand slam and the other, determined to …
Tim Duncan
Very rarely has someone came along in the sports world that has captured my attention so compeltely. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons gave the National Basketball Association a real gift when Tim Duncan came out in the draft over ten years ago. The San Antonio Spurs, who were habitual …
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 …
Sun Mountain V1 Speed Cart
This is Sun Mountain’s new 3 wheel golf push cart. It is aimed for those who want a little more stability than what a 2 wheel golf cart can offer.
It is made with very solid metal rods. I think this might be one of the sturdiest carts on the …
Jamarcus Russell
With the first pick in the NFl draft last year, the Oakland Raiders selected Jamarcus Russel, a quarterback out of LSU. Being a Raiders fan I’m estatic about this pick and I’m sure that Russell will not disappoint. However, it wasn’t looking very good for Russell in the few …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Women’s Snowboard Cross
Women’s Snowboard Cross at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was quite fun. The qualifying was boring, but the heats were much more exciting.
France’s Claire Chapotot stalled out at the beginning of her quarter final heat that included Norway’s Helene Olafsen and Faye Gulini of America. Gulini didn’t …
Chad Johnson
There are elite receivers in the NFL. And, then there’s a tier that is slightly below that elite receiver group. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson falls into that group.
Johnson, at one point, probably could have been an elite player in the league. The problem is, his ego got in …
Sean Marks
Sean Marks of the Phoenix Suns has been in the league for a long time now. I am actually surprised to see that Sean Marks is playing his eight season in the league and many people haven’t even heard of him. Over the years as a spectator of not …
Earl Barron
Earl Barron of the Miami Heat has been with the team for over three years now. He was signed by the team to play if and ever Shaquille O’neal or Alonzo Mourning gets injured. Barron though has played very little and far and off in between. It has been …
Arsenal Football Club
I have been an avid and ardent supporter of Arsenal Football Club since I was a child, fancying its attractive football as well as its players. In addition, Arsenal’s IPO listings have always been rather stable, safe to invest with a fair amount of assets under its …
Nike Vr Staff Golf Bag
I am an avid Nike Golf fanatic. I have their Victory red irons, driver, woods, and putter. Therefore, I am a little biased about their products. Unfortunately, when it came to bags, I always believed that their golf bags were very inferior compared to the other top bag makers.
That …
Seattle Seahawks
Well, I guess I was wrong about the Seattle Seahawks this year. I thought they would be a legitimate playoff contender under new head coach Jim Mora but that’s obviously not the case.
Not that it is totally his fault. The team has suffered quite a few injuries to key …
Santiago Bernabeu Football Stadium
Going to witness one of the greatest derbies of the game of football live, was one of if not the best birthday present I had ever received in my lifetime, considering the fact that watching Real Madrid up against Barcelona in person is something that was beyond my wildest …
TJ Ford
Owning the starting point guard duties for the Toronto Raptors is miniscule guard TJ Ford. After a tragic first season in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks when he had that accident that broke his neck and it almost ended his playing career. Ford resurrected his NBA playing career …
Robert Horry
San Antonio Spurs Forward Robert Horry perhaps considered to be the best lucky charm in the NBA is valued more than that. He has won a number of rings playing for those championship teams at Houston with Hakeem Olajuwon, Lakers with Shaq and kobe and now with the Spurs …
NASCAR Bud Shootout Race
In 2009, the NASCAR Bud Shootout Race has been changed, and I’m not sure it’s a good one. In fact, it just feels like one great big car manufacturer commercial.
In previous years, those participating in this very first race of the season were poll setters from the prior …
Callaway X18 Iron Set
I was asking the salesman at my local golf shop for game improving irons and he led me towards the Callaway X18 Iron Set.
This is an older set of Callaway irons. After this, they have created the X20 and X22’s. The X18 was their revolutionary model which was a …
Brett Favre
Favre is definetly one of the best QB’s in the league, or used to be. He still is a great quarterback no doubt about it, but he seems to be going downhill now in his career. He is one of my favorite players and I hate to say stuff …

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Ice Dancing - Compulsory Dance
Every team skates to the same dance, doing two rotations on the rink. It’s a contest of technique. It’s much more of the classical ice dancing that I grew up watching versus the free style post-Bolero entry that changed the sport forever. It’s really a head …
Trenton Hassel
It is actually funny how Trenton Hassel ended up together with Juwan Howard for the Dallas Mavericks. Early in the summer, the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timeberwolves in exchange for Trenton Hassel. At that time the Mavericks needed a defensive stopper who can …
Wrestler: Abdullah Kobayashi
Recently I purchased a Japanese Hardcore Wrestling DVD which featured some of the bloodiest and most gruesome matches I have ever seen. On this DVD which stood out however was a man by the name of Abdullah Kobayashi. I am a big fan of Abdullah The Butcher, and happen …
High Performance Centre (HPC)
My personal experience of the High Performance Sports Development Centre is one of a supremely impressed sports person!
During my varsity days, very recently, I was playing football for one of the residential university house league teams, at the University of Pretoria, and during that time I had the privilege …
Zach Randolph
Zach Randolph whom the Knicks acquired through Draft Day trade this summer for Steve Francis and Channing Frye is absolutely a big addition for the squad. Randolph gives the Knicks two wide bodies in the middle with Eddy Curry playing the center position.
The nice thing with Randolph is his …
The Rock (wrestler)
The Rock is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Not only does he have the People’s Elbow the best move ever done in history. But he also has the Rock Bottom that lays out his enemies. I really like this guy’s personality. He has come a long way …
The Secret of Golf (DVD) David Blair
I am now 32. For the last 12 years I have been muntering up and down golf courses the length and breadth of the land and frankly things didn’t really get much better.
Oh don’t get me wrong, on occasions I managed to play quite well (got …

Re-examining the Green Bay Packers
Not too long ago, I took a post-draft look at each of the NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers and discussed what I liked and disliked about each. Now that the teams have each played two games, I have a better feel for what they have to offer …
Absa Premiership, South African Premier Soccer League
Ranked in the top ten best leagues in the world, I think much of the basis for this ranking lies firmly on the amount of money flowing through the Absa Premiership, the sponsorships as well as the organization, but not the quality of football itself.
As a South African, soccer …
Buffalo Bills Preseason
My team-by-team review of the NFL continues with a look at the final AFC East Team, the Buffalo Bills.
This is a team that really doesn’t do a whole lot that gains media attention normally. But, in an effort to catch up with the rest of the division, they did …
Bally Total Fitness in West Covina
To summarize my experience at Bally Total Fitness in West Covina requires only one word: Disappointing.
Having sampled several different gyms in several different areas throughout my life, this particular Bally location was probably the poorest facility that required a monthly membership.
As a member there, I found the service very …
Anquan Boldin
The Arizona Cardinals were on the brink this year. Almost making the playoffs seems but yet another disappointing season now that it’s all over with. But at the time, I’m sure every player and fan alike were absolutely estatic. One thing they can take from this is a learning …
Abdullah the Butcher
Abdullah the Butcher is probably the coolest professional wrestler who ever lived. Even though he is now 70 years old, he continues to wrestle in Japan and on the independent scene in the United States. There were many people who copied the maniac gimmick of the �original� Sheik, but …
Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones has always been a journeyman player. For thirteen years in this leage, Jones has been one of those borderline individuals who aren’t yet a super star, but are definitely not a wash-out. The six foot six guard out of Temple University has played for various teams including …
Chris Paul
I’m not sure why, but when I think of Chris Paul ( the six foot tall point guard from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in his second year in the NBA) I seen to think of Minnesota. Not the basketball team, the Timberwolves, but the entire state. I’m not …
Lindsay Davenport
