Why do they let criminals play in the National Basketball Association. (NBA) Is it because the kids look up to that sort of garbage? Oh, nevermind. It’s because it sells tickets and gets rating. Basketball is going the way of the gangtsa rapper, evidenced by the allowance of Ron …

I used to watch wrestling in my teens, it was like 10 years back, at that time the most famous wrestler was Stone Cold Steve Austin. I checked out WWE a few days back and I saw him still in action, it seems he is still going strong. …

Preston Knowles is my favorite player on the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He is a sophmore guard our of Winchester, Kentucky. He is listed at 6-1 and 170 pounds, but judging from his present frame, he has put on at least 10 pounds of muscle …

Well, I guess I was wrong about the Seattle Seahawks this year. I thought they would be a legitimate playoff contender under new head coach Jim Mora but that’s obviously not the case.
Not that it is totally his fault. The team has suffered quite a few injuries to key …

Fighters are encouraged and sometimes even provoked in the pre-fight interviews to point out the flaws in their opponents whether they are real, exaggerated or all hot air. It is all part of the game. The fighters know it; the fans know it.
New UFC fighter Brock Lesnar’s …

I bought my Atomic Hatchet snowboard 3 years ago when I was looking for a board that would be good to use for kickers and rails at the local snowdome and dryslopes but also be capable of riding all over the mountain for trips to the real stuff in …

Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns is one of the top tree forwards in the league in my estimation. In an offense like the Phoenix Suns, Marion’s ability to glide to the hoop and not need many set-up plays is very valuable. To be effective doesn’t need plays to …

Now that Donovan McNaab’s season is over, I think it’s time for him to consider retirement or, at very least, a change of location.
McNaab was a solid starter for the Eagles for several years. However, I credit that to his mobility and to a solid defense.
After two straight season-ending …

Donyell Marshall whom the Cavaliers acquired through free agency three years ago has been at sporadic at times. He can certainly shoot the ball and can also be effective in the middle. Marred with injuries so far these year, Marshall has seen his playing time dwindle.
I did remember the …

Brandon Jackson is the backup running back for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. He’s a very good backup to have on your team, especially for the Packers new, young QB, Aaron Rodgers. Jackson gives Rodgers a check down, and a reliable checkdown at that. You look back …

Forward/Center Ike Diogu of the Golden state warriors is a bit rough around the edges. He just came off an injury plagued rookie season which was somewhat successful as he was vital to their chase for that play-offs spot. When he came back from that injury he suffered early …

Looking at their performance in this game, I still believe the Lions have the potential to surprise the division. Each of their 4 quarterbacks put points on the board and the defense did a decent job controlling a Broncos team that was in the playoffs last year and favored …

One of the member of the fab five from the University of Michigan where they dominated the collegiate ranks in the early 90’s. Howard entered the league as one of the most talented and highly touted rookies. He lived-up to those expectations early in his career where he was …

Now that he’s signed a 6-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, Matt Leinart is going to have to do a lot to win me over.
His hold out this year is going to hurt his chances of eventually taking over the starting quarterback job and I’ve never been convinced he …

The Denver Nuggets volatile guard JR Smith entered the league with a huge potential. And even I myself joined that bandwagon that proclaimed him as probably the next coming of the great one. He came to the New Orleans Hornets as a highly touted player out of high school. …

It is unsure whether New York Jets quarterback, Chad Pennington, will return to action next year. His contract expires and you wonder if another team may want a veteran quarterback to bring their franchise back to winning ways. A lot of criticism about Chad’s not so strong arm have …

Melvin Ely who recently signed with the New Orleans Hornets after brief stints with the Seattle Supersonics and the Los Angeles Clippers has sort of like found a home with the Hornets. His services are pretty much needed here with the team lacking toughness inside to develop a tradition …

A lot of people look at the Minnesota Vikings this year and list them as the favorites to win the NFC North division. While that might be the case, I don’t think it is as clear cut as many people think it is.
Here’s a look at the team; position …

Watching the Packers offseason moves this year, I’m thinking they are either going to be a playoff team or another 4-12 team. They have more raw talent than they’ve had in years but the players are young and are going to need time to develop.
Brett Favre’s return does help …

I haven’t had many opportunities to watch Jay Cutler play quarterback before. But, after finally getting to see him play, I can tell you the comparisons to John Elway and Brett Favre are a bit premature.
Let’s face the facts; the guy has started 12 games. He has a 5-7 …

The Dallas Mavericks is another team in that Southwest Division that will be a key player in the play-offs this year. Boasting a line-up that includes reigning NBA MVP Dirk Nowitzki. They also have the very versatile Josh Howard, Lightning quick guard in Devin Harris, two guard Jason Terry …

The Beijing Olympics of 2008 came as a great sporting spectacle for me, somebody who really likes sports. More so because of the fact that there are so many different sports sorts all taking place at any one time.
One particular sporting area that interested me was the men’s sprints. …

Man what a good year can do to you. Mikki Moore who in some NBA player standards exploded last year with the New Jersey Nets as the starting Center for that team when they lost Nenad Kristic to injury has a really good year last year when he consistently …

I go through golf gloves at an extremely fast rate, usually about 2 every year. I find they wear out in the palm very quickly, and I also rarely find one that is also comfortable for an entire 19 holes. The last time I golfed with a friend of …

Now here’s a coach that you better obey! If not, you may end up sleeping with the fishes. It’s no wonder why the people of New York loves their new head coach, Eric Mangini. Not only did he take the Jets to the playoffs in his first year there, …

Well, I’ll admit it, when the Minnesota Vikings started out their season, I never thought they would be the team to claim the competitive NFC North title. I thought the Packers would do it and, if not them, the Chicago Bears.
I’ll give them my congratulations but, even though the …

Toni Battie the back-up center for the Orlando Magic is a hustler who sacrifices his body and his game for the better of his team. He rebounds well with the minutes that he get and he can also defend on the post to counter the other teams best pivots. …

After a controversial signing with the Utah Jazz from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Carlos Boozer has settled down and will probably be an all-star this year. He is a monster inside the paint. He scores on all angles. He can play with his back to the basket. He can shoot …

To be honest, Formula 1 racing just isn’t my thing. I watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on, or if I’m particularly curious about something. It’s just that compared to NASCAR, F1 bores me.
The opening race of 2009 was in Melbourne, Australia. …
