With the Green Bay Packers struggling to find a running game, I’m a bit surprised at this point in the season that they haven’t given running back Ryan Grant an opportunity to get more playing time.
A solid special teams player, Grant has had very few carries with the offense; …

Any team drafting Brigham Young quarterback John Beck this season should do so with the realization he’ll have to sit on the bench for a couple of seasons before he’s ready to start a game. However, once he has time to develop, he should be a decent starter.

Christiano Ronaldo, the most important player in Manchester United has been transferred to Real Madrid in this season 2009-2010. At the beginning of his career in Manchester United, I think he still tried to tune in with the speed and rhythm of United’s playing style. He joined Manchester United …

He’s on billboards, he’s in commercials, I even think he’s got his own line of energy drinks; his own shoes and his own production company and will probably own his own continent one day… it’s the ever-popular, King of all things basketball, LeBron James. Out of St. Vincent - …

When the Packers re-vamped their linebackers last season, the guy I didn’t expect to see starting was Brady Poppinga. However, I think it was a good move.

I am a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. Or was until the team’s crash and burn at the hands of financially embattled owner Frank McCourt. I was pretty disillusioned over the team’s performance in 2010 and downright disappointed by their 2011 season.
I don’t care that the Dodgers finished over .500 …
