Oakland Raiders
So, the Oakland Raiders have elected to stay in-house and go with Tom Cable as their new head coach rather than just on an interim basis. Interesting decision but why do I feel like I’ve heard this all before?
I mean, let’s face it. The only reason the Raiders even …
Manu Ginobili
Manu Ginobili from Argentina is probably the NBA’s best sixth man ever. He is a dynamic player who electrifies the arena once he gets inside a game. Playing for the San Antonio Spurs, he was one of the reasons the Spurs won it all last year.
Teaming up with …
NFL Pro Bowl
I was reading about this years NFL Pro Bowl selections this morning and once again, as a fan, I have to ask the question; why do they even bother with the event.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t pick the top players in the league for their individual achievement. I’m saying …
Steve Novak
After having a successful collegiate career, Steve Novak of the Houston Rockets has yet to translate that into a professional career success so far. He has been in the Houston Rockets bench for the season and has seen very little playing time at all.
I think some other team could …
Green Bay Packers Pre-Training Camp
Well, Green Bay Packers training camp is just around the corner and, after a 6-10 finish last season and some off season moves this year, it’ll be interesting to see if they will repeat that performance or if it was just a fluke and they will show improvement now …
Coby Karl
Coby Karl of the Los Angeles Lakers and the son of Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl has had a tough road on the way to the NBA. He has had to endure media criticism and peer pressure just to get to where he is now. And it is …
Rashad McCants
In college basketball, there are a lot of famous teams with the prestige and honor. In each state you can find a team that recruits all the best players and competes for a tournament slot ever year. The North Carolina Tarheels are not only one of the best North …
2010 Nationwide Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 race
The Bashas’ Supermarkets 200 at the Phoenix International Raceway was held in April, 2010. Overall, it was a mixture of dull and wowza!
Michael Annett brought out the first and third cautions with a spin and then blown tire. It just wasn’t his night. The second caution was …
Super Sport Park Centurion Cricket Ground
After being introduced to live cricket action for the very first time back when I was in the sixth grade, the live action bug hit me for a six and I found myself yearning for more.
A Nashua Titan’s game in which my favorite player, Herschelle Gibbs was featured against …
Alonzo Mourning
Growing up a Georgetown Hoyas fan, I learned to appreciate the finer things in life. Finer things like the amazingly talented Alonzo Mourning who was drafted in the first round by the Charlotte Hornets. He was part of a greatly hyped, but rarely winning team in Charlotte where he …
Robert Horry
Robert Horry is perhaps the most clutch shooter in the NBA. I sometimes think that maybe Horry saves his tank for crucial situations and rise up on these instances when the chance presents itself. He constantly sticks dagger into the hearts of opposing teams from the day he entered …
KSix-One Tour 90
So I recently tried out the KSix-One Tour 90 raquet on an open day at my local tennis club. The raquet is the same as used by world number one tennis player Roger Federer. As I approached a practice set with my playing parter I decided to use the …
The Rock (wrestler)
The Rock is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Not only does he have the People’s Elbow the best move ever done in history. But he also has the Rock Bottom that lays out his enemies. I really like this guy’s personality. He has come a long way …
RipStick Skateboard
Boys would love reading about this skateboard from RipStick. The name says it all; Rip. Indeed it is. It is a blast skateboarding with this 2-wheeled skater board.
My younger brother has this purplish looking RipStick, and it certainly looks funny at first, as it’s very different …
Damon Stoudamire
Over the years in the NBA, there have been plenty of guys with the potential for greatness. Though most have just been all hype, no talent, there have been a few previously who have had the hype and the careers to back it up. Damon Stoudamire is one of …
Orange P7 Mountain Bike
An awesome bike! I’ve been biking for 29 years and have bought and broke a lot of bikes by now. There are a few bikes standing in a garage, and P7 is a pride of my ‘collection’. I bought this mountain bike a couple of years ago. I …
NASCAR Nationwide Race June 21, 2008- Minnesota
Tonight’s race made me wish that it were next week already. As much as people whine and complain about the NASCAR Cup drivers racing against the up and comers in the Nationwide Series, I think it makes things much more interesting. Seeing only a handful of drivers pulling double …
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 …
Winding Ridge Golf Club Indianapolis IN
The Winding Ridge Golf Club gives the northeast side of Indianapolis, Indiana a beautiful little gem of a golf course. This golf course is one of several RN Thompson developed golf courses, and as such is reasonably priced ($35 greens fees with cart) and well manicured.
The greens roll true, …
Jacksonville Jaguars Preseason
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 …
Ron Artest
Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings is one of the best Defensive players of all time. He has the combination of speed and strength to stay with the best of the offensive players in the league. Artest is also very gifted offensively. He has the shooting range and the …
South African rugby team
Affectionately known as the Springboks, the South African national rugby team is the pride and joy of our nation and their second world cup win makes me truly proud to be a South African indeed.
While we have potential in our soccer team, and a great cricket team, it is …
Larry Bird
Indiana Pacers General Manager and Former NBA MVP and a Legend Larry Bird has done an inspiring job with the Pacers. Although they are struggling to make the play-offs the last couple of years, the Indiana Pacers have stayed competitive and has given their opponents a run for their …
Barcelona v Real Madrid - El Clasico - 2010/11 Season
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 …
Los Angeles Dodgers 2011 Season
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 …
Elton Brand
Los Angeles Clippers mainstay and franchise player Elton Brand was one of last seasons top candidates for Most Valuable Player. He averaged career high’s in points, rebounds and assist. Had a very high field goal percentage and was also tops in the league in the shot blocking department. Very …
Fred Jones
Former Slam Dunk King Fred Jones of the New York Knicks has done very little since being dealt to the Knicks. I somewhat admired him when he was still playing for the Indiana Pacers a couple of years back. He was a dynamic player for Rick Carlisle coming off …
Chad Pennington
It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …
Richard Hamilton
For me Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons is the best mid range jumper in the game today. He has great accuracy on those jumpers which he launches in a variety of ways. He often comes off of screen and rolls to get the open shots. Or cuts to …
Arizona Cardinals
A lot of people think this is the year the Arizona Cardinals finally end their losing streak and make the playoffs. I’m not convinced.
On paper, the Cardinals have a ton of talent and Ken Whisenhunt definitely has the pedigree. But, I’m still not sure if they can escape the …
Linn Park Municipal Golf Course
The Linn Park Municipal Golf Course on the south side of Glasgow is an 18-hole golf course that I have played on numerous occasions. It is a very short course by comparison to others with a Par of only 63. Many of the holes are longish Par 3 with …
ZaZa Pachulia
ZaZa Pachulia of the Atlanta Hawks started his career with the Orlando Magic. He was a valuable reserve for them but back then his skills are highly underdeveloped. He had a very raw game he often had very little to no playing time at all. On his last season …
Norv Turner
Fomer Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Norv Turner was always a considered a coach that couldn’t win if he were in the top spot. He’s had top coaching jobs and the Washington Redskins and also at the Oakland Raiders. He has failed miserably to put together a winning team anywhere …
Kobe Bryant
Look around the NBA today and there’s probably one stand out player on every team. These players range in size and personal strengths but they all most likely share one thing is common…popularity. Now, popular doesn’t necessarily mean good and of course good doesn’t necessarily mean the player will …
Julian Wright
NBA rookie Julian Wright of the New Orleans Hornets has a very good upside in his game. He has a body much like Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets and in the preseason i was in their practice facility looking at some of their scrimmages and i could say …
Quentin Richardson
Quentin Richardson of the New York Knicks is one of the most boastful players in the NBA. I know he is well known for being the Boyfriend of R&B singer Brandy but in the NBA world, Richardson has declined from being a starter to a bench player. Don’t get …
Stan Van Gundy
Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy has helped transformed the Magic from a lottery team to a title contender. He has done it through changing the teams philosophy on offense. Before he took over the reins of being the teams head coach, it was Brian Hill who had the …
Pat Garrity
Pat Garrity of the Orlando Magic is one of the best shooters in the game today. The only problem is that’s about the only thing he does on a basketball court. He contributes very little on other aspects of the game and his vigor to improve himself has slowly …
England v France - Friendly November 2010
It was due to be Englands first major test since their awful World Cup campaign in South Africa. They had played a couple of qualifying games that had not been especially impressive, but now it was France at Wembley. No one really appeared too concerned in the build up. …
2007 Houston Texans
The Houston Texans made two mistakes prior to the 2007 season. First, they put their fate in the hands of a back up quarterback who had never won a game he started. Secondly, they invested a lot of money in a running back who barely managed 1,000 yards last …
F1 Race in Singapore
This was like one of the most biggest highlights of all in my country for the year of 2008. I didn’t get tickets whatsoever but I caught the race on near the key building areas that allowed visible viewing. Everything was so awesome and I was so enjoying …
Cedric Benson
When the Chicago Bears traded running back Thomas Jones this year, I had to question the move. And, after watching their former first round pick Cedric Benson play, I now know I was right when I said the Jones trade was a mistake.
Benson is not an elite running back …
Steve Mariucci
Now that a couple of teams are seeking a new head coach, former 49ers and Lions coach Steve Mariucci’s name will likely come up as a candidate. Teams should shy away from him.
Mariucci isn’t a horrible coach; his record with the 49ers proves that. But, the teams that are …
Cam Newton
Cam Newton is a quarterback that played in college for the Auburn Tigers. He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers. I believe that he’s a wonderful quarterback. He is very versatile and he can almost do anything that’s expected of a quarterback. He …
Baltimore Ravens Preseason
Last year, I figured the Baltimore Ravens, under new head coach John Harbaugh, would be in a transition year and wouldn’t achieve much; especially since they had a rookie quarterback. Turns out, they were good enough to make it to the AFC Championship game despite the fact they had …
Nelson Hot Spot Paintballs
When it comes to accuracy, it doesn’t get that much better than these paintballs. They’re really quite accurate and I think that this may be the reason how they have recieved their name. They’re excellent for accuracy and great for snap shooting. The paintballs are really cheap for the …
Travis Henry
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 …
Andre Miller
Andre Miller came off of the Allen Iverson trade from the Denver Nuggets. He was one of the reasons the Sixers agreed to that trade. In getting Miller the Sixers receive a player who is very tough defensively and also is one of the league’s best assist man. His …
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the most brutal and hardcore wrestler’s to ever step into a ring. He is one of the worlds toughest fighters. Stone Cold Steve Austin does a great move called the Stone Cold Stunner that leaves his rivals on the ground. I like his …
