In 2004, one of the FA Cup semi-finals was worthy of being the actual final due to the size of both clubs involved, Manchester United and Arsenal.

This game can hardly be touted as the 2nd best bowl games of the year.

The Washington Redskins have had more than their fair share of troubles this past season. Though making it to the playoffs, they were decidedly booted out by a much hungrier, and less beat up Seattle Seahawk team. Though each year, wheter they seem to make the playoffs or not, …

I’m a huge fan of Cleveland Browns football coach Romeo Crennel for a few reasons. The first and foremost being because he’s a Virginia boy, just like me, the secoond being because he’s the real deal.
A lot of people think that you can’t be a coach in the National …

In …

The Houston Rockets for me the best duo in Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. They are both tough offensive players who are very hard to stop. Now with the addition of Steve Francis and the development of Bonzi Wells in Rick Adelman’s offense, they should be a dominant factor …

If you are a fan of football, then watching Manchester United play Rangers in the European Champions League in the 2010/11 season has been no great spectacle. Manchester United were the huge favourites when on the way to Ibrox, but having watched Rangers defend for 90 minutes at old …

For most quarterbacks, greatness comes in fits and spurts. With Peyton, success has taken the form of a huge landslide. In 2003, his superlatives fell into the “too numerous to mention” category. But to mention a few: co-mvp of the NFL; league leadership in passing yards; first to throw …

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 …

Akeem The African Dream as he was known, was a wrestler most famous in the 80’s and 90’s as both Akeem and One Man Gang. I was never a fan of his, and personally found him to be obnoxious and a waste of television time. However, he was well …

Michael Doleac of the Minnesota Timberwolves is a solid back-up Center who started his career with the Orlando Magic as a high first round pick for them. And in that sense that he is a first round pick i think he will be considered a disappointment in the league.

Rex staked his claim to a job in ‘03, when he became the first known Bears rookie signal-caller to win his first two starts. In fact, only Jim McMahon (in 1982) ever had won even his initial start. In his second game, Grossman threw a record-setting pass, as his …
