Sport Reviews
Rod Smith
Smith is an explosive receiver who will burn defensive backs that give him too much room to operate. He reached the end zone 22 times in the years from 97-99, and he also gained 1,000 yards for the third straight time in 1999. Smith also made it three consecutive …
Lane Kiffin
Here we go. A man after my own heart. The Oakland Raiders new head coach, Lane Kiffin, really breathes some hope back into a franchise that, once was committed to excellence, now seem to be adapted at losing.
The youngest head coach in the history of the NFL, Kiffin …
Wrestler: Cassidy Riley
Cassidy Riley is one of the new up and coming Wrestling Talents I first took a shine to in 2004. I have been a fan of his ever since although I haven’t seen him in a year or so, I am pretty sure he is wrestling in WWE’s Development …
Reymond Felton
Last year’s fifth overall pick Raymond Felton of the North Carolina Tar Heels took quite some time to develop and be a contributer with the Charlotte Bobcats but late in the season has finally shown some progress to becoming a legitimate starting point guard in the NBA. He was …
Plaxico Burress
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 …
Al Thornton
The ninth overall pick in this year’s installment of the NBA draft is Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton. And his drafting couldn’t have come at a better time for the Clippers with the loss of Elton Brand until Mid February and the injuries to Tim Thomas and Paul …
Bo Outlaw
Bo Outlaw has bounced around the league for quite some time now. I think his career really did start with the Orlando Magic for that Shaquille O’neal and Penny Hardaway era that they had. He was a vital player off the bench for that team. Since then he was …
NFL 2009 WK 3: Steelers vs. Bengals
Steelers and Bengals put up a primetime worthy finish on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.
The Bengals came into the game as a 1-1 team just coming off a upset against the Packers, looking to knock off the defending Super Bowl champs. Coming into this game, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of …
Beno Udrih
Now this player is someone i slept on in my fantasy league rosters. And admit that most of y’all fantasy addicts out there didn’t pick him up as well in your respective drafts. Beno Udrih was transformed from a mop up player off the bench for the defending champions …
Brian Skinner
Brian Skinner who signed with the Phoenix Suns recently to sort of like lessen the impact of losing Kurt Thomas to the Seattle Supersonics in a cost cutting move in their part to avoid luxury cap threshold is a solid center in the league.
Brian has bounced from team to …
Sean May
Sean May who won an NCAA championship with the University of North Carolina tar Heels had a stellar collegiate career. He is a son of a former NBA player as well. His collegiate success though has not resulted in an NBA success. A native of Chicago IL., May was …
Wrestler: Big Daddy Shirley Crabtree
I actually learnt about Big Daddy from my Dad. He told me about him in the past and his memorable battles with Giant Haystacks, but it wasn’t until we got The Wrestling Channel over here that I had the chance to actually witness some of these battles.
He was one …
Earl Watson
One of the best defensive point guards in the league today is Seattle Supersonics point Earl Watson. After a tumultuous stay with the Denver Nuggets, he was finally traded to the Supersonics for Reggie Evans and as produced for the team.
Although his offensive skills are in some manner a …
Chris Quinn
Not to be a racist or anything but there have been a lesser number of white players specially the small ones that has made it into the NBA than african american. Of course some of this are mainly due to the fact that African Americans are much gifted athletically …
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 …
Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger was a winner from the start, literally. Coming out of Miami of Ohio, Big Ben was the savior the Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping for. He set a record for games won by a rookie quarterback, and in only his second year, took the Steelers to the Super …
Carl Froch v Jean Pascal - WBC Super Middleweight Title Fight
When Joe Calzaghe vacated his belts and retired and left undefeated, it meant that his WBC Super Middleweight belt became available and the two men to fight it out would be Carl Froch, a man who had been angling for a fight with Calzaghe before he retired and Jean …
Jameer Nelson
Jameer Nelson, the consensus player of the year from collegiate ranks entering his first NBA season played with a chip on his shoulder. he was uncharacteristically drafted 20th on that ‘03 draft mainly because of his size rather than his ability. This is something that i think he played …
Sir Alex Furgason Manchester United Manager
Although I am not a Manchester United supporter, I cannot help but admire the driving force behind the greatness that is accociated with Manchester United, Sir Alex Furgason, and I have no problem at all claiming that he is certainly the best manager the world of club football has …
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 …
82games.com
Mad about NBA statistics? I am.. hehe.. Anyway, 82games.com is a website that offers probably the best statistics in the whole worldwideweb. For NBA fantasy league owners such as myself, there is no better site to check on a player or a teams statistics. I highly recommend this site …
Adidas Scorch Thrill D Low Cleats
I bought this cleats late last year. I have been using this whenever I play soccer. This costs around 90 USD. I checked the website it is exactly 90 USD but the retail shop where I got this gave me a more expensive price.
The thing that I …
Jose Calderon
Jose Calderon of the Toronto Raptors who backs up TJ Ford for them has slowly evolved into a starting point guard type of a player. At times, late in some of the Raptors games. Coach Sam Mitchell prefers to have Calderon in the game rather than Ford and in …
Mike McCarthy
When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.
And, after seeing him through 15 games of his first season, I still stand by that opinion.
There’s a good chance the Packers will finish 7-9 this …
Australia Cricket Team
Australian Cricket Team is undisputedly the best team at present. Be it one day cricket or tests, Aussies rule dominate in either form of the game. The are through professionals, and are very consistent with their performance. They have proved there mettle in all soils, they have defeated every …
NFL.com Fantasy Football
Fantasy football season is approaching fast and, after some research, I have settled for NFL.com for my fantasy football league.
NFL.com offers free fantasy football, which is something that’s important to me since I don’t like to pay for something that is more of a thing to do when I’m …
Pittsburgh Steelers Preseason
My team-by-team NFL review now has me in Pittsburgh taking a look at the Steelers. This is a team that is coming off a fantastic Super Bowl win last season and is looking to defend their title.
When the team decided to hire head coach Mike Tomlin, I thought it …
Marcus Camby
The New York Knicks once had a power house team that competed in the playoffs every year. With Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason, and a young Marcus Camby, the Knicks seemed poise to win an NBA championship. I’m not exactly sure how that team fell apart, but fall …
Sean Marks
Sean Marks of the Phoenix Suns has been in the league for a long time now. I am actually surprised to see that Sean Marks is playing his eight season in the league and many people haven’t even heard of him. Over the years as a spectator of not …
Anthony Carter
Anthony Carter, man has he been in the league for so long. I remember him as a Rookie dogging it out for the Miami Heat on the Tim Hardaway era. He was their back-up point guard back then and he played the same then to the way his playing …
Leandro Barbosa
Brazil is best known for skimpy thongs the the Carnivale. What they’re little known for is producing athletes for American sports, especially the National Basketball Association. This trend of no Brazilian athletes changed when Leandro Barbosa joined the Phoenix Suns four years go. Barbosa, the six foot three shooting …
Shareef Abdur Rahim
Shareef Abdur Rahim who was drafed in that memorable ‘97 NBA draft has slowed down a bit in the league. After a promising start to what is an amazing talent, Abdur Rahim has taken the role as a complimentary player to a team that’s filled with superstars. Playing for …

Flashpoint 60 Wheelset
I will never lay claim to being a super star cyclist, but I have managed to get some pretty good results in some time trials and I consider myself to be gaining a good bit of knowledge and experience about equipment as I work to do the best I …
James Jones
James Jones is a member of the 2007-08 Green Bay Packers. Jones went to college at San Jose State and was a star wide receiver there. He was brought into Green Bay in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft so that Brett Favre would have yet another …
Emeka Okafor
Emeka Okafor of the Charlotte Bobcats who was selected second overall after Dwight Howard has played in the pro’s the way i envisioned him to be. A shot-blocking big man who can rebound and score off of missed shots and great passes from teammate and starting point guard Reymond …
Andres Nocioni
Andres Nocioni who came as an import from Argentina shows a lot of promise on the latter part of last season. And thus far, he has shown improvement and consistency on his shooting. Which in my opinion was his weakest point early on in his career. He now consistently …
Kenyon Martin
Kenyon Martin of the Denver Nuggets is a former first overall pick in the NBA draft. He was selected first overall by the New Jersey Nets and on that year he won the Rookie of the year award. At six feet and ten inches tall, Martin is a pure …
Richard Jefferson
The National Basketball Association has been ever-changing. From the early times of the league, the golden age, where most players were crafy with the ball and could pass through traffic and do some crazy finger roll looking stuff, to the midway period in the league that seen a little …
Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays are the best story in sports (now that the Cubs are out of the race). Since their creation, this baseball team has consistently found itself at the bottom of the baseball standings, always having to compete with the big markets and big money of …
DeShawn Wynn
When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …
LA Clippers
Playing in the shadows of the “more popular” town rival the Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers are slowly rehabilitating there image and team concept in general. After being labeled as a team with a cheap owner who won’t spend big time money to acquire quality free agents, the clippers …
Chicago Bears 2008 recap
Being a die-hard Packers fan, I obviously am not a huge fan of the Chicago Bears. But, I will try to be objective when looking at their past season, which resulted in a winning record but not a playoff appearance.
Offensively, I think the Bears have improved from last year, …
Greg Oden
Last year there was a bit of controversy in the Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA division 1 mens basketball program. It appeared as though the team had let the school janitor play. After asking around, I found it it wasn’t the janitor, but I’m still not convinced that it wasn’t …
Josh Childress
Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Childress who sports a dynamic hairdo has slowly made the transition from a magnificent collegiate career to a respectable career in the NBA. Childress’s game early in his NBA career was a bit too erratic and at best mediocre. But with the additions of other …
Anquan Boldin
The Arizona Cardinals were on the brink this year. Almost making the playoffs seems but yet another disappointing season now that it’s all over with. But at the time, I’m sure every player and fan alike were absolutely estatic. One thing they can take from this is a learning …
Raymond Felton
The North Carolina Tarheels have always been one of the NCAA mens basketball programs finest teams. They produce talent on a consistent basis and have had very few players drafted to the NBA whom have disappointed. The Heels were home to the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael …

Basketball Player: Edgar Sosa
Edgar Sosa is a 6-1, 175 pound Junior point guard from New York City playing for the University of Louisville men’s basketball team. He is the team’s most emotional player. Most fans either love him or hate him.
Pros: I have to say that Sosa is passionate. …
