Considering they won the AFC North title, you would think the Steelers would be a favorite to get past the first round of the playoffs and even surprise higher seeded teams.
I don�t think that�s the case. I think they were lucky to make it into the playoffs but …

The reason the Philadelphia 76ers are one of the worst team in the NBA right now is shown in the fact that their starting power forward is journeyman Reggie Evans. Don’t get me wrong, Evans is a serviceable big man in the league. The problem i have with him …

Don’t let the last couple of games fool you, Eli Manning is no where near as good as his brother.
He may have survived the playoffs and may be going to the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. But, he did that largely because of his surrounding …

Though for some reason I’ve never been a fan of the NCAA mens basketball division 1 team, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, I have always been a fan of Chris Bosh. I loved watching Bosh play in college five years ago. He was super tall, coming in aat six …

So, the Oakland Raiders have elected to stay in-house and go with Tom Cable as their new head coach rather than just on an interim basis. Interesting decision but why do I feel like I’ve heard this all before?
I mean, let’s face it. The only reason the Raiders even …

This is a very unique golf push cart. It is Linksman Golf’s X6 golf cart which is probably their most popular model.
The reason I say this is unique is the X6 is the easiest to collapse golf cart on the market. No doubt about this. The cart it self …

The New Jersey Nets are one of those teams who are standing at the edge of greatness yet they can’t seem to take that final step. Coach Lawrence Frank, who’s been there since early 2004, is no stranger to having a good team. But the responsibility falls on him …

These are Nike’s newest fairway woods. They accompany the new driver that was released in the Victory Red family.
Overall, I never quite see what the difference is in fairway woods. I feel that for the most part, they offer better control and I do not see much difference in …

An awesome bike! I’ve been biking for 29 years and have bought and broke a lot of bikes by now. There are a few bikes standing in a garage, and P7 is a pride of my ‘collection’. I bought this mountain bike a couple of years ago. I …

Sean May who won an NCAA championship with the University of North Carolina tar Heels had a stellar collegiate career. He is a son of a former NBA player as well. His collegiate success though has not resulted in an NBA success. A native of Chicago IL., May was …

So close yet so far. That’s the story of the Phoenix Suns and their head coach, Mike D’Antoni. No matter how good they are, they always seem to lose before finally winning that illusive NBA championship. Their point guard, Steve Nash, who may go down as the greastest point …

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, …

Rasho Nesterovic is a 7 footer out of Slovenia. He is a serviceable big man at best and can contribute on the defensive end. He plays for the Toronto Raptors and starts at times in place of Andrea Bargnani. On the offensive end, Nesterovic has little range on his …

As a boxing fan I was always quite a follower of Joe Calzaghe, so once he retired I was partly delighted because he would retire unbeaten, but also disappointed that I had never had the opportunity to see him fight live.
Once Calzaghe The Story was released on DVD I …

Othella Harrington was once a very good basketball player in the NBA. He has a very good big body who can shoot from the perimeter and play the four or five spot. He plays rugged physical defense in the shaded lane and uses his big body for the good …

Watching this game, I think both the Rams and Colts will be in the playoffs this year.
Peyton Manning only played a couple of minutes during the game, but watching him score quickly in his only possession, I’m confident they will be able to put up a lot of points …

This is another stadium which holds so much history for me, as the football team that I so avidly support has made use of this very stadium as a home ground for as many years as I can remember.
While many memories will eternally live on in me concerning the …

Most recently known as the guy who helped Eli Manning and the New York Giants get to the super bowl, Plaxico Burress wasn’t always highly regarded as a hero. In fact, during his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Plaxico was tackled by a phantom after a catch, stood …

The consensus starter for the point guard position of the Los Angeles Clippers is star guard Sam Cassell. He is also one of the oldest players in the league but when healthy and in the mix of things he can still get the job done. Early in the season …

I love Kyle Busch, but I never joined his fan club before. I couldn’t get myself to pay any money that would possibly go to Hendrick Motorsports. When he switched to Joe Gibbs Racing I thought about joining the fan club and kept putting it off. Then I somehow …

I love riding on our Mongoose Pro mountain bike. Well, it’s actually my husband’s bike so I just borrow it when I want to use it. I think he bought it for about $500. But he bought it in the Philippines so I guess it will be cheaper in …

Wally Szczerbiak acquired in that Ricky Davis deal that sent Davis to the Timberwolves is one of the more deadly midrange shooters around the league. Szczerbiak as a side note also was considered to replace Pierce Brosnan as the 007 agent James Bond. Aside from his acting aspirations, Szczerbiak …

As a former sportswriter, I found myself covering tons of talented guys in high school who were poised to be the “next big thing” in the NBA. After seeing many of them fall flat on their face, I often times found it unfair that individals like myself, and the …

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 …

I used the Prince More Control tennis racket last year before changing to the Babolat Aero Tour racket. At first i was more impressed with its cosmetics. it has a two toned color(black and white) that produces an effect of having two faces. I expected this to have an …

This is the best cart bag that Nike has to offer. It was made in 2009 and unfortunately, they are making another one for the 2010 season which was slightly modified (not for the best).
The 2009 Nike Tour Cart Bag is phenomenally created. It is basically made from high …

Manchester United were the Champions of the Premier League and were starting the new season, at home to newly promoted Birmingham City. It was sure to be a tough game because Manchester United had sold their prized asset, Cristiano Ronaldo, to Real Madrid for a world record fee. It …

Lately I’m beginning to have a real problem with NASCAR fans who love and support Dale Earnhardt Junior. It isn’t all the fans of course, but a large portion of them anyway. I understand supporting your favorite driver and sticking by him for the duration, but there is such …

The Miami Heat waived long time guard/forward in the NBA Penny Hardaway to open a roster spot in signing Luke Jackson. Jackson played in the NBDL and was highly regarded when he first came into the NBA. He was a former first round selection by the Cleveland Cavaliers and …

When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.
And, after seeing him through 15 games of his first season, I still stand by that opinion.
There’s a good chance the Packers will finish 7-9 this …

I am in the middle of purchasing a putter so I am going through what my local golf store has. I am a big fan of Odyssey Golf so I got my hands on their Black Series i putter.
This is billed as their high end insert putter. Unfortunately, I …

In Arizona where losing is the norm, the Cardinals surprisingly had a chance to go to the playoffs this year. After their initial starter, Matt Leinart, was hurt, Kurt Warner took over at the helm and looked like he did when he played with St. Louis. While with the …

Brother Devon is one half of one of the most decorated tag-teams in professional wrestling history, Team 3D along with his long time friend, tag team partner and on-screen ‘Half Brother’ Brother Ray.
Devon is essentially the muscle of the team, and the one who inflicts most of the pain …

I used to keep fit by jogging. But as I got older I found that niggles in my ankle and knee joints were getting more frequent and taking longer to heal. In fact, there came a point when I was spending more time recovering than actually jogging. …

Another piece for that blockbuster deal that the Timberwolves made in trading Kevin Garnett is in acquiring the rights to Ryan Gomes from the Boston Celtics. I heard that over the summer they like what they saw in him and was vital in their decision to make the move. …

The Detroit Pistons is a well oiled running team that has been in the contention for the title the last five years. With a solid Starting five and the fact that they have nurtured their young players to someday replace the aging stars that they have, the bench has …

The Troy Golf and Country Club in Troy, Alabama is a golf club I have visited every year for the past 9 years. I return every year because I enjoyed my experience so much the first time around. Troy is an 18-hole course with a great selection of short …

Is one of my all time favorite one day cricketer. He is also one of the most under-estimated cricketers. I have been very impressed by his performance. I hardly remember any time when he has not made runs for his country. He has an expectation average of over 55 …

I am not happy with this one. This is going to be another dust accumulator in my home. Had it for two months and used it twice a week from the time I bought it. I thought that by buying something expensive from a trusted brand would be good. …

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, …

Attention California, the green eyed bandit is back. The Sacramento Kings made a coaching change this off season bringing in Reggie Theus to lead up their team. The Kings, once a great team just a few years removed, seemed to be going nowhere with their last coach. I for …

Mission cliffs is the biggest rock climbing gym in San Francisco and its immediate entourage. So mission cliffs is pretty big and offers quite a lot to climb.

The biggest thing Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn has going for him is the fact he was coached by Charlie Weis, the guy who turned Tom Brady, an unknown 6th round draft pick, into a star.
Physically, I think Brady is only second to JaMarcus Russell in this year’s draft. …

Whoa Nelly! The former coach of the Dallas Mavericks who was let go admist a finacial dispute has moved on and had a great little run with the surprising Golden State Warriors. The team, headed up on the floor by superstar Baron Davis, literally shocked the entire world last …

Alan Hansen is not everyone’s cup of tea, but he remains one of the main pundits on BBC’s Match of The Day and he also writes for the BBC sport website. Some might think that he is not especially entertaining on the telly, so reading what he has to …

The Miami Dolphins today named Joey Harrington their starter over former starter Dante Culpepper. I agree with this decision.
Harrington really hasn’t done much throughout his career to earn a starting spot. However, Culpepper has looked downright awful during the first part of the season.
First, he doesn’t seem to have …

With my interest in the game of football (soccer) having a deep rooted base in all forms of the sport, from free styling to the conventional eleven versus eleven, full field version, exploring the indoor version of it at the Supersport Park Indoor Football Centre, made for a very …

The Atlanta Falcons have falled victim to some tremendously bad luck this past year. Their star quarter Michael Vick was arrested and ultimately jailed for his involvement with dog fighting. Their new coach high tailed it back to college where the atmosphere is more forgiving. And Bill Parcells turned …

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a lot to look forward to in their future. They have probably the best big-small man of all time in Lebron James. They have a young roster of player that are all willing to learn and take things one step at a time. And they …
