Since football is my overall best sport by far, one which I also play at a relatively above-average level, I can safely say that I am constantly up to speed with all the latest developments, innovations and happenings on and off the pitch, relating to the beautiful game.
One of …

I will admit, I’m surprised by the Washington Redskins’ decision to hire Seattle Seahawks quarterback coach Jim Zorn as their head coach. This is both because I’m used to owner Dan Snyder making a big splash when he hires his coaches and because I’m not sure he’s the right …

One of the biggest reasons for the Packers run that nearly got them into the Super Bowl was the vast improvement of their defense. The guy who deserves the credit for that is defensive coordinator Bob Sanders.
Sanders put together a defense that absolutely smothered opposing offenses early on in …

The NFL Draft is an event that occurs once a year in the offseason. At the NFL Draft in New York City, all 32 NFL teams meet to select the newest eliblle football players to play in the league. This a highly anticipated, televised event. I think the 2009 …

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.
The Packers had entered the season appearing to be thin at that position; especially after David Martin signed with the Miami …

Drafted as the second over-all selection last year with the Atlanta Hawks. Marvin Williams who a year before that won the NCAA title with the North Carolina Tar Heels is expected to take this team to the success it once had during the reign of Dominique Wilkins. Williams is …

I have always thought that Miami Heat General Manager/Head Coach Pat RIley is an old fraud. He took over the team after he initiated deals that netted him a rather healthy O’neal away from the Los Angeles Lakers. When he noticed that his team had the chance to get …

Tyrus Thomas who was the former third overall pick in the NBA draft has had a slow accent to his career. Although looking back in his collegiate days, I never really thought that he would become a Superstar in this league. His game lacks a little bit of physical …

I compare Ben Gordon to that of former Piston the microwave Benny Johnson. Gordon started his career as a contributor off the bench and every time his number was called during the game he always often converts.
Gifted with extraordinary strength at the two guard position, Gordon also has …

Damon Jones of the cleveland cavaliers was highly disappointing playing in his first season for the cavs after being signed to a multi year deal following a great season with the Miami heat. He was pivotal with the Heat’s run during the play-offs and was really an integral part …

Nine years ago, the Tarheels of North Carolina offerend up an amazing specimen of human agility to the NBA draft. His name was Vince Carter, and wow, he was amazing. Vinsanity, half man, half amazing were just two of the names giving this talent. He took the National Basketball …

I really enjoy the short speed skating events. They are fast and exciting. It’s pretty easy to follow, and there’s the element of suspense the closer it gets to the final racers.
Women’s Speed Skating - 500m in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics involved two runs. The …

Francisco Elson is one of those players who has benefited greatly by playing alongside Tim Duncan. From an unknown player in the league to a respected big man off the bench for the defending world champions. Before his stop with the Spurs Elson was playing a role with the …

The most amazing aspect of this race was the unexpected, and no, I don’t mean in the racing. Part of the asphalt track deteriorated so much that they stopped the race to repair it. The red flag came out with 78 laps to go, prompting a delay …

A good helmet for skiing and snowboarding is for me not that easy to find. I want a helmet that looks good, feels comfortable, does not get too warm or cold and without costing too much.
I decided on the Bern Watts helmet. Bern designs really cool helmets …

William Henderson is not a full back you’ll see in the pro bowl. And, playing for a Packers team that’s in transition, it’s likely you won’t see him in the playoffs before he eventually decides to retire.
However, in my opinion, he’s the best full back in the league. He’s …

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 …

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 …

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. …

Raef LaFrentz is the little known power forward for the Portland Trailblazers. Though not one of the best power forwards in the National Basketball Association, this six foot eleven, nine year man from the Kansas Jayhawks is definitely a top notch player. I’ve only seen him come off the …

One of the most volatile NBA players of all time Rasheed Wallace came into the Detroit Pistons in mid-season and made them the championship team that they are. The Pistons were already a good team when they made that trade for Rasheed virtually for nothing. Instantly the Pistons where …

Stromile Swift who just got traded to the team that drafted him probably owns one of the games highest potential and leaping ability to boot. Swift is very agile for a bigman at 6 feet 11 inches tall. He can run the floor like a guard. He can also …

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this goliath of a man Live, and one of the only people in British Wrestling who is bigger than him, is his tag-team partner, Bulk! He was a great man as a person, and in the ring, known as the UK Pitbulls, they …

I’m an avid skier and I know how important it is to have comfortable ski boots that fit well and provide good ankle support. I had to get rid of my old boots because they didn’t fit right and I came to purchase the Salomon Impact 7 ski …

The newly acquired Heat Forward Mark Blount has had better stints with other teams than what he has done for the Miami Heat. He has averaged double figure points with the Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Timberwolves and even started for those teams.
With the Miami Heat though, his …

When I think of Jerry Stackhouse, I always think of the best baked potato I ever had at Jerry’s Steakhouse. True Story. But I also think of the most ridiculous claim I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Stackhouse, the six foot six, twelve year vet from the NCAA’s …

The Bruins of Boston College were a great team in the NCAA mens division 1 basketball tournament last year. And the main part of their well oiled machine was the six foot ten inch power forward slash small center, Sean Williams. Being so good, I wonder why he didn’t …

The Great Catch (www.greatcatch.org) is an item that is used to improve your catching skills for a football. The goal of the product is to teach you to automatically catch a football correctly with your fingertips. This is accomplished by wearing the product and forcing you to catch with …

I’m truly not much of a sports fanatic. I mean some women I know like all of it. They’re right on the sofa next to the husband hooting and hollering over every first down, basket, goal and home run of every game whether it’s Football, Basketball, Hockey or …

It is unsure whether New York Jets quarterback, Chad Pennington, will return to action next year. His contract expires and you wonder if another team may want a veteran quarterback to bring their franchise back to winning ways. A lot of criticism about Chad’s not so strong arm have …

If you live in the Vancouver, BC area, or are visiting, and are a hockey fan, I highly recommend getting tickets for the Vancouver Giants, the WHL (Western Hockey League) team in the city. First of all, you will be overjoyed at the entertainment because this hockey is good, …

So far, the Houston Texans are looking like they will once again miss the playoffs, even with the addition of new head coach Gary Kubiak. However, I do see potential for this team in the future.
Starting quarterback David Carr has looked very impressive this season and is definitely benefitting …

Former National collegiate champion member of the North Carolina Tar Heels Brenadan Haywood is valuable to the Washington wizards if not for his size alone. He is a pure seven footer that has a big body and uses it to control the paint. Haywood has limited skills offensively. He …

The General Manager of the Orlando Magic Otis Smith has done an admirable job in transforming the Magic this year. From a team having trouble of even making the play-offs last year and being swept in the first round against the Pistons to a title contender this year.
The trades …

Grant Hill broke my heart as an Orlando Magic fan the last seven years. He was basically a tease for me and the other Magic fans out there. Although by no means was it is fault, the contract that he signed seven years ago with Orlando crippled the team …

Jared Swopshire is a 6-7, 215 pound Freshman playing for the University of Louisville. He hails from St. Louis, Missouri. He has not received a lot of playing time this year but has cracked the rotation as the 9th man.
Pros: Swopshire has good height and length …

I like this guy Stephen Graham of the Indiana Pacers for the very little playing time that he has gotten so far. When he is in the game he makes a bit of a difference with his ability to get into the lane and be aggressive. What i …

Some sports are hard to enjoy over television, and in my opinion, cross country events are in that category. The Men’s 15km Individual for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics featured competitors from 50 nations. There were actually 96 skiers. It’s a timed race, with 15 seconds …

Al Perez was most famous in the late 1980’s, he was a great in-ring performer and didn’t really need a proper gimmick to get over due to his talent. He was trained by the legendary Boris Malenko, and as anyone trained by Boris Malenko, you are NATURALLY talented.
He broke …

Brandan Wright who was selected as the fourth overall choice in this years NBA draft after a successful collegiate career with the North Carolina Tar Heels in the NCAA. He was involved in that Jason Richardson deal that the Warriors made on draft day to acquire the rights to …

If you are a fan of football, then watching Manchester United play Rangers in the European Champions League in the 2010/11 season has been no great spectacle. Manchester United were the huge favourites when on the way to Ibrox, but having watched Rangers defend for 90 minutes at old …

The Big Show, now going by the name of ‘The Great Wight’ in reference to his real name, Paul Wight, is easily one of the most recognizable figures in modern day professional wrestling due to his huge size and the comparisons between him and the late great Andre The …

The Portland Trailblazer’s started the offseason with a BIG BANG during the ‘06 NBA draft. Made 6 trades during the night that netted them the 2nd overall pick Lamarcus Aldridge from the Chicago Bulls. They also acquired the rights for the 6th overall pick Brandon Roy and Raef Lafrentz …

My family and I love to ride bikes and sometimes we get into a little bit of rough terrain. That is what led me to the decision of buying my Mongoose bike. It is a 26 inch Womens Estes. Like I said the riding gets pretty rough so I …

He was named as the team captain for the Atlanta Hawks and to me that stated the type of player Joe Johnson is. His a deadly three point shooter and at 6 feet 7 inches tall playing the two guard position, he has the size and the strength to …

If you are a fan of college football, then you probably know the names Vince Young, Matt Leinart and Reggie bush. One name that didn’t get much press coverage was Heisman candidate and university of Vanderbilt quarterback, Jay Cutler. Cutler was ultimately selected in the first round to the …

Sebastian Telfair was a great high school basketball player. He was a legendary playground baller that resulted in his high pick in the 2004 NBA draft. He has the size, the speed and the power to be a force in the middle and from the perimeter as well. 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 …
