Paul Millsap came into the league highly un-regarded as an NBA player. Even i myself didn’t know who this guy was but the fact remains that he has grabbed the most rebounds in NCAA for three straight years. He led the nation in rebounding since his freshmen year up …

The National Basketball Association has some characters. Both on their teams and in their front offices. Ranging from outspoken attitudes to confusing names, the NBA is in no short supply of humor. This was evident to me when I heard the Milwaukee Bucks select Royal Ivey from the Texas …

The first over all selection of that legendary ‘03 draft was Lebron James from Akron OH. Even at a young age James was already gifted with excellent physical attributes that would make him a prodigy in basketball. And since he came to the NBA his been nothing but greatness.
Lebron’s …

Antonio Thomas is probably best known for his short stint in the WWE with his partner Romeo Roselli as the overly effeminate ladies men ‘The Heartthrobs.’ They never actually got passed Jobber status before being released however.
Personally, I thought they had potential. They were bought up too soon from …

The NASCAR races at Infineon are typically fairly boring at least in my opinion. I have a hard time staying focused on the races that take place at the road courses because you don’t see a lot of racing going on. The drivers tend to play it safe and …

He’s back. Based on his 2003 results, Edgerrin has put his knee problems behind him to reclaim superstar status. In fact, his 97 rushing yards per game was very comparable to the 102 of his first two NFL seasons in which he was an All-Pro. On November 16, James …

When Jack Del Rio came to the Jacksonville Jaguars, I truly believed he would be the guy to get that franchise back on the right track and competing in the AFC South. He had the right attitude and I thought he would be a coach the players would love …

In my experience, Arsenal is more of the extravagant team in the English Premier League with the aim of preserving the purists’ approach to football and their focus is more on how they play instead of just playing for results.
As an onlooker, this makes for some great entertainment for …

Bryan Danielson, probably better known as The American Dragon on the independent circuit is one of the best wrestlers on the circuit right now in my opinion. The technical skill of this young man is easily unmatched right now, and I can’t understand why he isn’t involved in any …

Dan Dickau of the Los Angeles Clippers has benefited greatly by all the injuries that has happened to the Clippers so far this season. Dickau has played great as the primary back-up to Brevin Knight who has also started for the Clippers since Sam Cassel and Shaun Livingston are …

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 …

While I don’t like the Pittsburgh Steelers (it comes with being a Ravens fan) I did respect them as worthy adversaries. They had a formidable offense and a defense that rivaled even our great one. As such, I always knew that a game against them would be …

This is what i call an embarrassment on the basketball court. New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas just fired Larry Brown, the pure basketball genius who turns everyone into a winner, two years ago to take over as head coach. Since then, all Thomas has done is lost seventy …

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team who have a long history of losing basketball games. They have never really had enough talent to do anything other than lose and that is the sole fault of ownership. If you want to have a winning team, you must pay the price. …

Tom Coughlin has got to be one of the meanest guys I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d hate to run into him in a dark alley somewhere. But, who knows, maybe the guy is really a big teddy bear. I know… I doubt it. But he has had …

I’m really not sure how or when these paintballs came out, but I do know that they’re about the best paintballs I’ve ever used. It confuses me that now Diablo is producing All Star paintballs, which have been an RPS trademark for years. They are much cheaper than RPS …

I was listening to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio as I do every day on my commute into work when Peter King was brought on as a guest earlier this week. The topic of discussion was the NFL’s overtime rule. As it stands …

Never in the history of the NFL have I seen a more sporadic quarterback than the Chicago Bears quarterback, Rex Grossman. Sexy Rexy as he is so colorfully coined by his fans, tends to lean on the side of football sociopath, no feelings or empathy for what he does …

Minnesota Timberwolves starter Rashad McCants is one of the more explosive guards there is in the league. He has a very quick first step that loses his defenders quickly and if not for his injury he would have been a crazy athlete in the mold of a Kobe Bryant. …

The bobsled has always been an exciting sport to watch. The notion of two men inside this bobsled, going ridiculously fast with unthinkable g-forces attacking their body is mind boggling. It’s thrilling to watch, especially at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
The event takes place over two nights, …

Men’s Ski Cross is another new event for me. Traditionally, it’s always been the downhill and the slalom that I’ve watched, but now we have so many new, exciting types of skiing events. I’m learning to love these new competitions because of the fast pace, the thrill, …

Head football coach of the San Francisco 49er’s, Mike Nolan, has been trying to turn a once great football program around. Blessed with nothing more than a quarterback who is more like Ryan Leaf than Joe Montana, Nolan has been implementing his style of play on the field for …

England had not made a great start to their World Cup campaign in South Africa, having drawn with the U.S.A they were under huge pressure to get a result. From a fans point of view this was usual England for me, promising lots and based on the first game …

When reviewing Michael Finley i put in the previous career numbers that his had playing for the Dallas Mavericks. So i rate him a respectable seven for those years where he was a terrific offensive force for that team and the league in general.
In his prime, i strongly regarded …

The Beijing summer Olympics, have been a world class Olympics and one to remember, i really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year. My favorite sport to watch was of course the soccer games since i am a big soccer game.
There were some very good games but the level of …

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 …

I remember the third Christmas after starting to play tennis. I woke up that morning to find a fairly large rectangular box in under the Christmas tree in the living room. Guessing that it probably was I tennis racket from my tennis addict father, I anticipated and hoped that …

I first spotted Chris Hero in a short lived tag-team with his real life friend, CM Punk, who is now on the ECW brand of World Wrestling Entertainment. Chris Hero has amazing potential, and looking back, I find it hard to grasp that only CM Punk was signed and …

Since day one of enrolling in the Capoeira class, I have become hooked into this African-Brazilian fighting and survival tactic that mixes fighting, dance, and aerobics in one blood-pumping session. At first, I was a bit scared and insecure because from the what I saw on the floor, the …

When the Green Bay Packers drafted Korey Hall this past April, I didn’t think too much of the move. Hall had played linebacker in college and they said they were going to convert him to fullback; a position he never played before. I figured, at best, he was going …

The new professional football league, the All American Football League, hasn’t played its first game yet. But, based on the concept of the league, who they have on their rosters and when they are playing their games, my opinions are mixed about whether it will be successful or not.
First, …

One of the key figures in that infamous November brawl at the palace of auburn hills that greatly shamed not just the league but the players involved as well, Stephen Jackson is a very temperamental player who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He constantly blames and ridicules …

The Orlando Magic offseason so far has been uneventful. During the ‘06 NBA Draft the Magic selected J.J Redick, a deadshot 3 point shooter from Duke university. The pick should be highly justified since the team in all likelihood will lose SG Deshawn Stevenson to Free Agency this summer. …

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.

As I write these words, Spain has just lifted the World Cup for the first time in the nation’s history. That being so, it is perhaps a bit unfair to be too critical of them, and I do accept that they have been the best footballing side in the …
