Well, the New England Patriots finally lost a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago and, as a result, felt the so-called curse that happens to Super Bowl losers. The funny thing is the team is so well built, they almost beat it.
OK, show of hands here, when Tom Brady …

Darren McFadden is a young running back for the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. Coming out of the 2008 NFL Draft, McFadden was viewed as the top running back prospect in the draft. I also thought that he was the best player at his position.
As the NFL …

Warren Moon has a son that plays in the NBA? Well, no, I don’t think so. But that’s what I asked myself when I saw the Toronto Raptors forward, Jamario Moon, in a game earlier this season. Jamario Moon, who played for Meridian Community College, averaged twenty points there …

Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets is a very small point guard for that team that they signed out of the D-league where he was having a career year with an average of 23.5 points a game, 5.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. This numbers are the very …

In my personal opinion, setting aside the element of bias that may creep in given the fact that I am a South African, the South African Cricket team affectionately known as the Proteas is the best the world of cricket has to offer. Sadly though, this is only limited …

Chris Richard out of the Florida Gators in the collegiate ranks has had a great career there and has just started his pro career with the Minnesota Timberwolves and has seen very little playing time for now. I think the Twolves though are just waiting for him to mature …

Very nice item if you can afford it. (If you are a smart shopper you will drop about $300-350 after shipping)
Well built, and very useful. You adjust the weight by simply turning a dial. From 5-52.5 lbs in very small increments. You could go from 5,7.5,10,12.5,15, and on upward …

When people think about NFL quarterback Joey Harrington, he’s usually lumped in the large class of first-round busts. But, I think he gets more criticism than he deserves.

I go through golf gloves at an extremely fast rate, usually about 2 every year. I find they wear out in the palm very quickly, and I also rarely find one that is also comfortable for an entire 19 holes. The last time I golfed with a friend of …

Well, I’ve been holding off on writing my opinion about the various NFL teams until I had a chance to see them in action. And, when I say in action, I mean real action; not the fake action you see in preseason.
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the …

Baseball is my passion. I especially love minor league baseball. I was in my element recently at a home game for the Yakima Bears. There’s something special about minor league baseball. It isn’t all dressed up and the players are trying to prove themselves so they really try as …

Currently owning the Houston Rockets starting point guard position over Rafer Alston, James is more of an offensive threat than Alston is. He is a very reliable three point shooter who can also do a one dribble and get inside the three point line and shoot that long two …

This was the fight that got me into boxing. I had always admired the sport, I was only young and boxing was still on terrestrial t.v, so knowing that Nigel Benn was the cousin of Paul Ince, who was then playing for my beloved Manchester United. I tuned in.

My younger brother has this purplish looking RipStick, and it certainly looks funny at first, as it’s very different …

The recent decision by the Houston Texans to release quarterback David Carr will come back to haunt them in the future.
Even though Carr has not performed well since the team selected him first overall, most of his performance can be blamed on the lack of talent surrounding him on …

I’m a mega fan of basketball, all sports for that matter. But there’s something about the National Basketball Association that lures me in and keeps me on the edge of my seat. And my favorite type of players are those quiet storm types. You know, they types that don’t …

I do play tennis once in a while. I am not really an expert but I think I love this game which to me is quite challenging. It tests my speed in movement and responding. Although playing tennis has been quite occasional to me, every time my …

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 …

These past thirteen years went by quick. I can remember vividly when Jason Kidd came out of California the same year that Grant Hill came out of Duke and the two were Co-MVP’s of the National Basketball Association. Since then, Kidd has carved out a spot as, not only …

Flip Murray of the Detroit Pistons was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks then traded to the Seattle Supersonics in that Gary Payton deal that also sent Ray Allen to the Supersonics. Murray is a good player to have as a back up point guard though generally he is …

Despite their valiant effort against the New England Patriots that will send them into the playoffs with some momentum, I think the New York Giants will once against finish their season without a post season win, something that may once again cause fans to want a change at coach …

Over my many years of sports participation, I have tried a lot of different performance enhancing supplements with the aim of finding a few that actually work for me.

Ben Roethlisberger was a winner from the start, literally. Coming out of Miami of Ohio, Big Ben was the savior the Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping for. He set a record for games won by a rookie quarterback, and in only his second year, took the Steelers to the Super …

It’s hard to draw any real conclusions from a team scrimmage (I’m reserving final judgement for preseason) but, from what I did see, the team looks much sharper than it did at this time last year.
Brett Favre was very accurate during the scrimmage and even managed to throw for …

Ever since 2001 I’ve had an intense hatred for the New England Patriots. I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, so I’m still terribly upset over Tom Brady’s fumble in the 2001 playoffs that cost the Raiders the game. Out of all the Patriots, none make me more …

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 …

Many goalkeepers will find that there is nothing worse than playing in wet conditions. And every time you reach for the ball it just slips through your fingertips and into the back of the net.well look no further for the glove that ergonomically fits your hand to perfection, and …

Jerome James signing of the New York Knicks is one of the most stupid, dumb and outright disgraceful move of any General Managers in NBA history. Jerome James played for four years with the Seattle Supersonics and produced nothing in those four years except for a couple of strong …

20-20 cricket - It is a short version of 50 over cricket. Every team gets to play 20 over, and hence making it quicker version of cricket. The first 20-20 world cup took place in south Africa, and India surprised teams like south Africa, Australia and Pakistan and won …

It is really a disgrace as to what happened to Matt Harpring’s career. Going into the league, i saw Harpring as a type of player that makes a championship contender team complete with his play. He hustles for the loose ball, he defense hard every single position, he offers …

Beno Udrih is probably the best European player that nobody’s ever heard of. Well, unless of course you’re an avid basketball fan like myself, or live in the Sacramento area where he plays for the Kings. The six foot three guard from Slovenia is among only a few other …

For a fast player like me, the dynamics of a soccer boot used should fall within a specific range of design, with special focus on comfort, fit, style and even durability.
After spending hours and hours in within the confines of a specialist shoe factory, trying on all sorts of …

Last season, following the Packers’ 8-8 finish, many fans were calling for the firing of secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer. After this season, you don’t hear too many of those calls any more.
The reason for this is the fact the secondary actually showed significant signs of improvement, in particular the …

Pat Garrity of the Orlando Magic is one of the best shooters in the game today. The only problem is that’s about the only thing he does on a basketball court. He contributes very little on other aspects of the game and his vigor to improve himself has slowly …
