Ever since having a big game against the Green Bay Packers during the NFC Title game, Plaxico Burress is acting like he’s an elite receiver in the NFL. He’s far from it.
Burress is a decent number one receiver. But, he’s also seriously overrated. That’s why the Steelers, who drafted …

One of my very first experiences of playing golf in Alabama was when a friend took me to Cambrian Ridge, one of the Trent Jones Trail golf courses. This one is situated in Greenville, Ala. and is a beautiful, pristine course that is great to play and a pleasure …

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 …

The more I watch Green Bay running back Brandon Jackson play, the more I think he’s going to end up being a waste of a second round pick.
Running backs typically start showing their skills immediately at the NFL level because it’s a position that relies almost solely on instinct. …

The Green Bay Packers recently signed tight end Donald Lee to a contract extension. After seeing him play this year, I have to say it was a great move.

I bought the O’neill Reactor convertible wetsuit in a sale 2 years ago as my previous O’neill wetsuit was now around 4 years old and starting to fall apart.
This wetsuit usually costs around £80 but only cost me £48 compared to my previous O’neill wetsuit which I paid around …

I recently learned quarterback Aaron Brooks was in Green Bay trying out for the Packers. I haven�t decided if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Brooks has the potential to be a good quarterback. He has a strong arm and the ability to move around in the …

Vladimir Radmanovic of the LA lakers was so hampered with injuries last year that he struggled so much and most of the people at the media and his supporters wondered if his playing career was over or at least his NBA career. Now healthy and walking with that bounce …

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 …

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.
BYU runs …

A few months ago, I took the time to look at the Chicago Bears and said I felt they weren’t as good as they looked on paper. I think, looking at them roughly half way through the season, I was right about that.
During the off season, the Bears took …

Paradise Poker is one of my favorite rooms to play, and I’ll tell you why…
First of all, Paradise Poker has extremely loose games; there are many rooms that share this feature, so it isn’t unique, but something particularly about Paradise Poker strikes me as particularly fun. I think it’s …

With the injury to Gilbert Arenas, Antonio Daniels should have gotten the bulk of minutes playing the point guard position for the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately for him and the Wizards he got injured and is again out of the line-up for the nest month. This is unfortunate in the …

The women’s downhill of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was full of excitement. I was actually surprised, though, how many very nasty falls and crashes that there were. It was frightening, in fact.
One of the Switzerland skiers had such a nasty fall. She slid down …

Quincy Douby, the one year guard out of Rutgers University, will no doubt make a name for himself in this league. I’ve seen the kid play. There have only been a few guards I’ve seen in the past decade that can do what he does. He can run the …

Recently I purchased a Japanese Hardcore Wrestling DVD which featured some of the bloodiest and most gruesome matches I have ever seen. On this DVD which stood out however was a man by the name of Abdullah Kobayashi. I am a big fan of Abdullah The Butcher, and happen …

I didn’t know a whole lot about the Cincinnati Bengals this year until I got a chance to watch them first hand last night against the Green Bay Packers in pre-season.
After seeing them, I have to say I think Marvin Lewis needs to be afraid of losing his job …

After watching the Oakland Raiders through 4 games this season, I think it’s time for the NFL to force Al Davis to give up his ownership rights to the team.
In an era of parity, Al Davis has put together a team that has a better chance at getting the …

Tom Coughlin has got to be one of the meanest guys I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d hate to run into him in a dark alley somewhere. But, who knows, maybe the guy is really a big teddy bear. I know… I doubt it. But he has had …

Rojon Rondo the starting Point Guard of the Boston Celtics inherited a job that should be an envy to many. Task to quarterback the sparkling trio of Garnett, Pierce and Allen. The success of the Celtics will largely depend on the Contribution Rondo will be able to provide them.

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 …

In the bout dubbed The Challenge, a bout between two counter-punchers in their mid thirties, one fought his age and the other lived to his name. It was Marquez’s first fight as a lightweight and he was a little shaky at the get-go. Being in the lightweight division for …

Some claim that it is undoubtedly the biggest sport event of the entire year. The Super Bowl. Now I will admit to not being the biggest most diehard football fan, I enjoy an occasional good game and am always down to watch my hometown team, The Chargers, play. Shout …

So firsts things first when it comes to sports equipment and im particularly tennis rackets there seems to be alot of cheeky marketing going on with these so called new technologies. If you play to a high level you will know what I mean by this, alot of rackets …

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 …

Playing for my beloved Oakland Raiders for quite a few years now, Jerry Porter finally seems ready to take over as the go-to number one receiver on the team. He was a welcomed addition in the early 2000’s where he played third receiver to Jerry Rice and Tim Brown …

Lamar Odom loves Los Angeles, there’s no doubt about it. I don’t think he wants to call anywhere “home” unless it’s the Staples Center. Why do I think this? Because after playing for the less popular of the two LA teams, the Clippers, Odom then moved over and signed …

For anyone that loves boxing, the Super Six event appeared to be a great invention to wake up the Super-Middleweight division. Rather that have lots o pointless fights between boxers throughout the year that meant very little, 6 of the best fighters from the division agreed to take part …

Memphis Grizzlies All Star and the main pivot for the Spanish National team Pau Gasol is one of the most promising dominant figures in the game. He mainly plays inside and on offense uses variety of moves from spins, head fakes and his ability to evade defenders with …

When Todd Bouman was playing as a back up quarterback for the Vikings, I never once thought I would ever see him as a Packer. However, when Green Bay signed him last week, I thought it was a great personnel move.
Bouman is never going to be a full-time starter …

When I think about the Carolina Panthers Steve Smith, I can only say he�s the ultimate over-achiever.
Smith came into the league as a third round draft pick. He probably would have been drafted higher but he�s only 5�9� and, somewhere down the line, the NFL started thinking receivers should …

Shawne Williams of the Indiana Pacers started out his career on the wrong end of the spectrum as he got involved in some trouble with the law thereby the suspensions from both the team and the league itself. He was involved in a bar fight with teammate Marquis Daniels …

When it comes to playing paintball, not all players are interested in playing indoors or even outdoors with tons of other people that they probably don’t know. I find it to be quite an advantage to be playing with people that you don’t know, because it gives you the …

Travis Outlaw of the Portland Trail Blazers has taken a long time to realize that potential of his that the Blazers saw in this lanky six feet ten inch forward whom they drafted straight out of high school into the NBA.
Now entering his fifth season with the team, Travis …

Brian Kendrick is a great up and coming performer. He is currently wrestling as a cruiserweight, but from the matches I have seen him take part of in the past, his true talent lies in his technical ability. He was trained by Shawn Michaels, and it is obvious to …
