Junior Seau
OK, as glad as I was to see the Patriots lose in the Super Bowl, I was actually a bit disappointed for linebacker Junior Seau.
Seau is far from being the dominating player he was when he came into the league as a San Diego Charger. But, even after 18 …
Donyell Marshall
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 …
Fabricio Oberto
Fabricio Oberto of the San Antonio Spurs is a player that compliments All-Star Forward Tim Duncan. He does all the hard, dirty work in the middle and often defends bigger Centers so that Duncan can conserve his energy for the clutch where the team sorely needs his contributions.

I am not happy with this one. This is going to be another dust accumulator in my home. Had it for two months and used it twice a week from the time I bought it. I thought that by buying something expensive from a trusted brand would be good. …

Devin Harris
Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks in my opinion is one of the most speedy point guards out there today. He has this quick burst of speed that leaves defenders behind. Harris is a valuable part of the Mavericks drive to the championship. I’ve seen him a couple of …
Bill Cowher
One of the names you’re going to hear tossed around a lot as teams seek out their next head coach will be Bill Cowher. And, I think he’s a guy who would bring credibility to any franchise. However, I think teams will have to look long and hard at …
Wrestler: A1
The only time I have ever known A1 was from his run within Total Nonstop Action wrestling as a member of Coach Scott D’Amores ‘Team Canada’ Faction. He classed as a ‘Big man’ wrestler not for his height, but for his muscle mass being a former bodybuilder. While in …

Justin Williams
Justin Williams of the Sacramento Kings who is entering his second season out of Illinois must start to show what he got in his game to stay in the league. He has so far struggled from his rookie season and just hasn’t gotten himself going. I like Williams in …
Florida Panthers - Bank Altantic Center
I was never much of a hockey fan growing up as a child or as an adult, until I met my husband. I never used to watch any sports other than wrestling and that got old for me as I grew up. So, the idea of me liking a …

This guy was a great player for the 49ers and will help all the teams that he will play for in the NFL during his career. Rashaun will play with the Chargers this year and will probably be their third wide receivers. In his rookie year he caught 7 …

The Coca-Cola 600 is one of those NASCAR races that real fans consider one of the biggest races and one of the races they have to see in person along with the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400. For the last two years I’ve been lucky enough to see …
Scottie Pippen
Scottie Pippen was one of my favorite NBA players of all time. Not because he was Michael Jordan’s sidekick but also he was one of the most versatile players of the game. Pippen is long and plays with such smarts that he was the ultimate complimentary player to a …
David Haye v Audley Harrison
David Haye v Audley Harrison. It was a fight that was really dividing opinion. Haye had been inactive since winning the world title against Valuev and with nothing yet agreed with the Kiltchkos it was Audley that stole in to claim a deal.
My initial thought was why on earth …

Lebron in game 4 of 2012 NBA Finals
It’s no secret that Lebron James wants to win his first Championship. Last year Lebron got his team to the finals and lost to the Mavs. After this happened numerous memes came out. “He doesn’t show up to the finals”, “He’s not clutch”, “He can’t score in the 4th …
Minnesota Vikings 2008 recap
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 …
Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Men’s Halfpipe
America’s Louie Vito isn’t normally the type of guy I’d say is cute, but after watching him on Dancing with the Stars, he is kinda cute. After seeing this different dancing side of him, how can I not root for him at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics? …
Wrestler: Charlie Haas

As part of the one/two guard punch for the Maryland Terrapins national championship winning basketball team a few years ago, Steve Blake was a surprisingly athletic player. The six foot three inch point guard did everything he could for Maryland to win that year, and the NBA scouts took …

Tony Parker
If you’ve ever heard anyone call the San Antonio Spurs point guard, Tony Parker lucky, please smack them on the head for me. To say he’s lucky is the biggest understatement of all time. In fact, the only way I can word it to make sense to me is …
Wrestler: Brutus The Barber Beefcake
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.

Wrestler: Big Vito
I first saw Big Vito in the later years of World Championship Wrestling tag teaming alongside Johnny The Bull as ‘The Mamalukes’ under the mentorship of Tony Mamaluke as a ‘mafia’ type team. He has a great superstar look, and has the ability to go far in the business …
Rick Adelman
There’s something special about the Houston Rockets. I’m not sure if I’m just feeling nostalgiac about Rudy Tomjanovich’s famous comment where he stated “never underestimate the heart of a champion” or if I’m just a huge Yao Ming fan. Regardless of why I think the Rockets are special, I …
Andrea Bargnani

Arsenal Football Club
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 …
Re-examining the Green Bay Packers

Jameer Nelson
The six foot even point guard for the Orlando Magic, Jameer Nelson, is another guy who comes to the NBA by way of a not-so-popular school. Unless you’ve seen the movie, Hoop Dreams, you may not even know that Saint Joseph’s exists. I know the Magic know, and they’re …

2006 Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons are a hard team to judge. On paper, they could very well in be in the Super Bowl this year, considering they have a solid defense and one of the best running games in the league. However, it really comes down to the quarterback position.
Michael Vick …
