A few years ago I thought the Houston Rockets were the best team in the west. I guess I’m not the basketball expert I thought because they never made it past the first round of the playoffs. In those years I was picking them to win, my favorite player …

Sacramento Kings forward Kenny Thomas who they acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers from that Chris Webber deal is an important factor on the kings success if he just plays more consistently. Always a double-double threat in the games that he plays in. Thomas is a gifted midrange shooter who …

The newest generation of Head rackets are the Metallix model. I bought one of these models, the Head Metallix 2 and i have to admit that one of the reason i bought this is because of it’s cosmetics. It looks really nice with its red and silver/gray trimmings. And …

Well Saturday April 21st is the big day for my grandaughter Shelly, as this is the first year she has joined Little Leauge! She’s eight years old. I’m so proud of her for wanting to join a sport. I’m even more proud, because she wanted to buy her glove …

Allen Iverson who was very popular in Philadelphia before being traded last year to the Denver Nuggets is probably the best at the fast paced game. Iverson though has been struggling with off the court issues throughout his career and has been much maligned for it.
On the court though, …

The Holt family has definetly been good to North Carolina State’s football program that they have. Both Torry and brother Terrence, a walk -on safety, were Wolfpack All-Americans. Torry really supported his yonger brother both financially and with good advice. After following Torry’s suggestion that he not take easy …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad. A true desire to make his mark saw him play with real …

I am an avid Nike Golf fanatic. I have their Victory red irons, driver, woods, and putter. Therefore, I am a little biased about their products. Unfortunately, when it came to bags, I always believed that their golf bags were very inferior compared to the other top bag makers.
That …

When I first looked at these paintballs, I figured that since they’re labeled “Great American” paintballs, that they’d either be really good, or a really good “American Value”. I was pretty much wrong on both. It was also really weird that the paintballs are scented, although they’re not nearly …

This is Sun Mountain’s new 3 wheel golf push cart. It is aimed for those who want a little more stability than what a 2 wheel golf cart can offer.
It is made with very solid metal rods. I think this might be one of the sturdiest carts on the …

When the Packers traded last year’s star, Samkon Gado for Vernand Morency, my first thought was “who.” But, after seeing him play Monday night, I do think they got the better end of that trade.
Gado has potential to be a star in the right system. However, during preseason and …

Carl Landry of the Houston Rockets is more of a project for them right now than an instant contributor. I do like his game. He has a nice mid range jumper for a power forward. A nice stroke that with confidence will lead to a high accuracy in the …

DJ Mbenga of the Golden State Warriors was signed by Don Nelson as an insurance big man who can come into a game when the starters get into foul trouble or get injured as well. The Starter in general is Center Andris Biedrins but when Don Nelson decides to …

Two years ago, on a whim, I purchased the Topeak Alien II Multi-Tool because it was on a sale (every sale looks good once you’ve been bitten by the bike stuff bug) and it arrived a few days later.
After a couple minutes of consternation figuring out how to actually …

What i see in Keith Bogans game of the Orlando Magic is very similar to that of the Spurs guard Bruce Bowen. He can defend the opposing teams best perimeter players and be effective in the perimeter himself on offense. He is a more than adequate three point shooter …

My family loves to go camping. We go as often as we can every summer. As much as we like to grill out or cook over the camp fire while we are at the campsite, there are times when doing either just isn’t convenient. For this reason, we decided …

For me, Camby is the best weak side help defender in the league. Majority of his blocks are made helping out. He has led the league in blocks the last couple of years and it shows the type of player Camby is. Although often injured with his slender build, …

Brutus The Barber Beefcake was one of my personal favorite professional wrestlers in the early 1990’s, and was one of the most entertaining superstars I have ever witnessed. Always coming out with his barber shop clippers and sporting bright clothing, he was also one of the most easily recognized! …

In my personal opinion, setting aside the element of bias that may creep in given the fact that I am a South African, the South African Cricket team affectionately known as the Proteas is the best the world of cricket has to offer. Sadly though, this is only limited …

When Randy Moss drew interest from the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots this past off season, I thought both teams were making a mistake even looking at him. But, after watching him play for the Patriots this year, I think I was wrong on my assumption he …

Sorry, Cam. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been so disappointed as watching the Miami Dolphins struggle to win a game this year. I really didn’t think they’d win even one. And personally, I was rooting for them to lose them all! But the guy I …

Paul Pierce known as “the Truth” is probably the biggest beneficiary of the most lucrative trade in recent history. Kevin Garnett’s trade from the Timberwolves to the Celtics rejuvenates Pierce’s drive at finally winning that elusive championship. Pierce has that unique ability of having an exceptional range from the …

I listen to a lot of baseball games through the internet. I love baseball and I especially love listening radio broadcasts.
My favorites are Pat Hughes and Ron Santo for the Cubs. Hughes provides the play by play and is a straight man for Ron Santo. Prior to broadcasting for …

When it comes to NFL running backs, you have those who go on to have Hall of Fame careers, those who either get hurt or just don’t have the talent to last more than a couple of seasons and then you have guys like Travis Henry, who could be …

I was looking forward to the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the Chicagoland Speedway. Not only do I like the track, but I was also excited to see the first race under the lights. During the off season the track installed lights and moved their race from the day …

The clue here was always going to be in the title. The first El Clasico of the 2010/11 season saw Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Nou Camp. Both sides have world class players, great managers and both were enjoying a really good start to this season.
The rivalry for …

Hendrick Motorsports is the operational center for the NASCAR race team including both their Cup and Nationwide Series teams. They have several areas and buildings of their team open to the public and we recently had the chance to take the tour of their facilities. Though I’m not a …

After Losing Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics for that trade that happened these summer, the Minnesota Timberwolves enter this season in a search for their new leader and for a new identity. Garnett was such a huge part of their team that his departure signaled an end to …

If you are a Philadelphia Eagle fan and live within driving distance of Bethlehem, PA you are lucky enough to be able to see your team practice!
I had the opportunity to visit the Eagles Training Camp at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA and see all the players in action! …

Shane Warne is worlds greatest leg spinner ever. He currently holds record for maximum test wickets. He like murlidharan has amazing tendency to spin the ball on any surface. However he is not as successful with Indian so he has done on other country. This is the only …

Tracy Mcgrady of the Houston Rockets is capable of doing what only a few elite in the league can, and that is to take over a game with utmost terror!! When not bothered with his bad back T-mac should be the league?s best scorer. The only hindrance to his …

Another year in the Madden franchise which in the past few years has seemed to be dwindling. Madden 2009 makes a strong comeback and is the first strong title for the next-gen system.
EA sports created over 80 innovations for Madden 09 but its the clear cut big …

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to love those high school players. A lot never live up to their full potential, and on average you will probably only find one playing per every four teams in the league. But that’s not even close to the case in LA. The Lakers …

Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a fan of Lebron James. He is a good ball player but there are better athletes in the NBA. I am not known to stick up for anything that Lebron does, but I do need to review on his actions …

Under the cloudy Loudon, New Hampshire skies, the NASCAR Sprint Cup series continued their hectic race schedule with the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 race on Sunday, June 28. Qualifying had been rained out, so the field was set by owner’s points, which put Tony Stewart on the poll …

The basketball world was estatic almost eleven years ago when Stephon Marbury was coming out of Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets super star was the pride and joy of his team and slated to be the best young guard in the NBA. Upon being drafted, things quickly went south …

Two years ago, Pat Riley sat up high in his ivory tower and dictated to the peasants that coach Stan Van Gunday wasn’t worth of leading the Miami Heat and their impressive roster to an NBA title. So, upon lopping his head off, (firing him) Pat Riley climbed down …

They will be a lottery team and will be at the bottom of the best division in the league. Looking at their line-up, I’m at a loss as to how they perform so bad with the team that they have. Starting Forward is Pau Gasol who a few years …

My team-by-team review of the NFL continues with a look at the final AFC East Team, the Buffalo Bills.
This is a team that really doesn’t do a whole lot that gains media attention normally. But, in an effort to catch up with the rest of the division, they did …

As a die-hard Packers fan, I believe the best thing the Detroit Lions can do for my team is keep Matt Millen as their general manager.
I mean, how does that guy keep his job? All Millen has done as GM is waste first round picks on players who don’t …

Once upon a time, Scott Pollard of the Boston Celtics was a primary contributor in the NBA for the Sacramento Kings. It wasn’t that long ago as well. He was an integral part of what the Kings where trying to do. He came off the bench and gave Vlade …

The Main Event Mafia as the name may suggest, is not only a collective collaboration of some of the greatest Main event Caliber professional wrestlers of all time, it is also a collective collaboration of some of the greatest world heavyweight champions in the history of professional wrestling. The …

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.
Poppinga is a decent-sized guy with good instincts and tackling ability. He’s able to get to the ball carrier quickly and is good …

I watch the NBA a lot and I believe that this was one of the best finals that I’ve watched. The match up was between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. The Dallas Mavericks won the series in 6 games and I was very proud of …

Who can forget the great Andre Agassi.He has seen it all success to failure,flamboyance to professionalism metamorphosis from a “I don’t care attitude to one of “I am a role model now”.His life has been a big roller coaster ride but in the end he has come out unscathed …

NanFeng Club provides many services like KTV,bar,and the part I love most-tennis and swimming.I go swimming …

One of the neat sports to watch during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games is ski jumping. There’s just something about watching these competitors sliding down the hill, going high into the air, and then making a clean landing hundreds of feet later. I’m not a skier, …

Wally Szczerbiak whom for the rest of this review will be calling Wally as it is so damn hard to spell his last name started his career as a sidekick to Kevin Garnett for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He even made an all star team in doing so and was …

This was the fight that got me into boxing. I had always admired the sport, I was only young and boxing was still on terrestrial t.v, so knowing that Nigel Benn was the cousin of Paul Ince, who was then playing for my beloved Manchester United. I tuned in.
I …

I’m not a big fan of the track in New Hampshire, mainly because it tends to look fairly empty whenever they race there. NASCAR keeps saying that they need to expand to reach all the markets and all the areas where they have fans. That’s true, but I think …
