Chicago Bulls Small Guard Ben Gordon who before entering the NBA was a national champion at the University of Connecticut won the rookie of the year award last year. He often hit big shots at the end of games to slowly gain a reputation as one of the league’s …
Bill Belichick
It’s really hard to come up with the words to describe New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick. On one hand, he’s a heck of a coach. He’s 3-1 in the Super Bowl, has turned the Patriots into an annual contender for the NFL title and, quite simply put, could …
Kwame Brown
Drafted first over-all draft pick by the Washington Wizards in the ‘02 class, Brown has never made up to the reputatation and the expectations that was bestowed on him. At seven feet tall and with the necessary tools and talents to be a great player in the league. Every …
Phoenix Suns

Kenny Thomas
Kenny Thomas of the Sacramento Kings has noticeable lost some edge to his game this season so far. He has been lost deep in the bench and averages only a few minutes a game for new head coach Reggie Theus. When he first started out his career with …
UFC 127 (Penn vs. Fitch)
UFC 127 was a good card. In this review I’m only going to talk about the main event, B.J. Penn vs. Jon Fitch. As soon as the bell rang, Penn charged out strong, throwing a few punches, then to everyone’s surprise, shooting for a take down. Fitch initially fought …
Travis Outlaw
Travis Outlaw of the Portland Trail Blazers has taken a long time to realize that potential of his that the Blazers saw in this lanky six feet ten inch forward whom they drafted straight out of high school into the NBA.
Now entering his fifth season with the team, Travis …

The New Jersey Nets is a quality basketball team. They are headed by the former NBA VP Rod Thorne. They have a number of significant pieces in their team that is quite valuable. First off is Point Guard Jason Kidd who leads by example. Kidd to me is the …
Opp Country Club
I played a little out of the way golf course while visiting friends in Alabama. The country club in Opp, Alabama is a pretty basic little golf course that I happened to play one weekend because they had organized a scramble tournament. I do not envisage ever going back …
Raef LaFrentz
Raef LaFrentz is an interesting player in the NBA. Not really all that good of a player, but a lot of teams love to have his kind of player. He’s a big man, with an impressive shooting skill from the outside. However, the one thing holding him down from …

Hussein Bolt
The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.
One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Heading into the 2008 season, I thought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a legitimate playoff contender. Now I’m thinking they will finish near the bottom of the NFC South Division.
The Buccaneers are 2-1, I will give them that. But, they beat a rebuilding Atlanta Falcons team and they …
NASCAR - First Practice for the 2009 Martinsville Race
First practice for NASCAR’s 2009 race at the Martinsville short track took place Friday morning on March 27th. Rain was threatening and would eventually rain out qualifying for that afternoon, but the Sprint Cup drivers were able to get in their entire morning practice.
My favorite, Jeff Gordon, ended …

Matt Leinart
Now that he’s signed a 6-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, Matt Leinart is going to have to do a lot to win me over.

There where reports early in the preseason that a fist fight between Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood erupted during a practice session when the two where going at it for the starting Center position. Unfortunately for Thomas he lost that job to Haywood when the doctors ordered him out …

The Portland Trailblazer’s started the offseason with a BIG BANG during the ‘06 NBA draft. Made 6 trades during the night that netted them the 2nd overall pick Lamarcus Aldridge from the Chicago Bulls. They also acquired the rights for the 6th overall pick Brandon Roy and Raef Lafrentz …
Danny Granger
The Indiana Pacers have been putting some force in the paint. Two years ago they acquired Ike Diogu from Arizona State and Danny Granger from New Mexico. Danny Granger has shown that he is Indiana Pacer material. The six foot eight inch forward is terrorizing opponents with a strong …
Kurt Schottenheimer
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 …
Chicago Bears Mid-Season Review
A few months ago, I took the time to look at the Chicago Bears and said I felt they weren’t as good as they looked on paper. I think, looking at them roughly half way through the season, I was right about that.
During the off season, the Bears took …
Joe Johnson
The Atlanta Hawks are quickly making a name for themselves in the NBA. But not like you would think. The team is best known for their losing ways, and it seems to be continuing. One player hoping to stop this trend is six foot seven two guard from Arkansas, …
Nike Victory Red Fairway Wood
These are Nike’s newest fairway woods. They accompany the new driver that was released in the Victory Red family.

Steve Francis
Steve Francis formerly known as “The Franchise” for the Houston Rockets signed with the team this summer for a second try with the Rockets. After being dealt to Orlando Magic for that Tracy McGrady Trade, Francis comes back to Houston playing a different role. He was once the vital …
Daunte Culpepper
When it comes to physical skill, Culpepper has everything you want at quarterback. He’s got a strong arm, he’s the size of a linebacker and he’s able to scramble for yards.
However, throughout the years, he hasn’t seemed to grasp the mental side of the position.
I blame the fact he …
Action Village Seconds Paintballs
When playing paintball, most people realize that the price of paint is extremely expensive. Seconds paintballs are definitely a good way to beat the price of paintballs.
Of course, seconds paintballs aren’t up to the quality of the other brands of paintballs being sold, and are therefore much cheaper.
Seconds paintballs …

F1 - 2009 Australian Grand Prix
To be honest, Formula 1 racing just isn’t my thing. I watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on, or if I’m particularly curious about something. It’s just that compared to NASCAR, F1 bores me.
The opening race of 2009 was in Melbourne, Australia. …
Allen Iverson
Allen Iverson who was very popular in Philadelphia before being traded last year to the Denver Nuggets is probably the best at the fast paced game. Iverson though has been struggling with off the court issues throughout his career and has been much maligned for it.

Professional’s Choice Ballistic Overreach Boots
Professional’s Choice Ballistic Overreach Boots are bell boots that offer your equine superstar superior protection from overreaching.

2007 World Series
THe 2007 World Series was a pretty disappointing affair, I thought. The scheduling was horrible, as if Major League Baseball is too afraid to try to go head to head with college football. We ended up seeing games played mostly on weekday evenings, with hardly any good …
S-League
S-League stands for Singapore League, and it is a local scene in my country for the local popular sports, soccer. And there are lots of league clubs competing against one another to reign championship. There are the seasons, of course.

New England Patriots Preseason
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.
