It seems that money talks and loyalty is a thing of the past. Another example of a decent ball player trading sides for money is Johnny Damon. Johnny Damon left the Boston Red Sox for the blue pinstripes of the Yankees and the money.
He started his …

The Carolina Panthers have always been a team that everyone knows about. Since they were expanded to be in the league in the early 90’s, they’ve been known to win a game or few. And with their quarterback, Jake Delhomme, it’s no wonder why. Jake is an amazing quarterback …

Yet to win away from home in the league, Manchester Uniteds next test was a trip away to play Sunderland. Just like Bolton this was never an easy game. For United it always seemed to be a fixture that was either very comfortable or very tight, as like Bolton, …

With the peak of my interest in football entering its nova phase in the late nineties, one my international footballing heroes would unsurprisingly be Ronaldo De Lima, given his popularity at the time and his epic rise to stardom.
At the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France is the …

Victor Chandler Poker, a member of the iPoker network, is by far my favorite poker site to play on. It has a sleek design, competitive but not great players, fast payouts, and excellent staff.
The interface looks nearly identical to all of the other iPoker network sites, so it should …

Hakim Warrick of the Memphis Grizzlies has one of the most freakish athleticism there is in the game right now. He is one hell of an athlete and can jump really high with some great extensions off of those long and rangy arms of his. For the Memphis Grizzlies …

There is one thing I love more than to see naturally gifted players showing off their technical skill and flair, and that is underdogs coming to the fore and showing the world that they are no pushovers. With a player like Diego Forlan it was a case of a …

Their new coach high tailed it back to college where the atmosphere is more forgiving. And Bill Parcells turned …

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

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 …

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 …

Reminiscent of Mugsy Bogues and Spudd Webb, is the New York Knicks small point guard, Nate Robinson. Though I have nothing but contempt and hatred in my heart for the Knicks and the way Thomas is coaching that team into the ground, I like rooting for the little guy, …

After he was suspended for one year for a drinking problem, a lot of people were quick to write off Koren Robinson. And, those same people criticized Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson for signing him.
However, if his performance in his first game back from suspension is any …

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 …

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 …

I consider Leandro Barbosa as the fastest man in the NBA. He gets into transition faster than a car and most importantly he converts majority of his drives to the basket. He has the complete package to be a dominant scorer in the NBA as he has no surprisingly …

A few years ago I thought the Houston Rockets were the best team in the west. I guess I’m not the basketball expert I thought because they never made it past the first round of the playoffs. In those years I was picking them to win, my favorite player …

Rather as I had feared, the 2010 World Cup Final proved to be a pretty disappointing affair, which will probably end up being remembered more for the enormous number of niggling fouls and yellow cards (fourteen, including two - and therefore a red - to one player) than for …

Speed skating is certainly an exciting sport, and this year, at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, there’s been a bunch of controversy surrounding it because of ice issues. However, the issues of the track have not deterred the intensity of the competition on the track.
The Speed Skating 1000 meters event …

Phoenix Suns Forward/Guard/Center Boris Diaw(his position definition alone tells you the versatility he has) is one of the league’s most versatile big-man. At 6 feet 9inches tall, he can handle the rack and at times last season take the bal up the court when Steve Nash is resting on …
