Great for intermediate level players that aren’t ready for the big time sticks like the Flexpoint Prestige, Ncode 6.1 tour, etc., It’s a tad above the tweener rackets since it has more emphasis on control rather than the in-between game the tweeners offer. Used by many touring pros such …

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 …

The Orlando Magic’s franchise got the wishes when they won the ‘02 NBA draft. They selected Dwight David Howard out of South Christian academy in Atlanta. Howard in my humble opinion will eventually blossom into those rare breed of NBA players that are labeled as ” Franchise Changing” players. …

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.
Harrington is a proto-type passer who actually has decent accuracy and is able to be a game manager in the right situation …
