Never in the history of the NFL have I seen a more sporadic quarterback than the Chicago Bears quarterback, Rex Grossman. Sexy Rexy as he is so colorfully coined by his fans, tends to lean on the side of football sociopath, no feelings or empathy for what he does …

I’m not sure how many people really know who Matt Hasselbeck is. The Seattle Seahawks aren’t the most popular football team around, and stuck in the great north=west, it’s hard to tell if they’ll ever get exposure. Though Matt Hasselbeck just led the Seahawks to a super bown two …

Mario West is actually a good player for the Atlanta Hawks. The problem is the Hawks a lot of very good athletic, ultra talented players at the forward position. He has a bit of a range for a big guy and can play tough interior defense. He is primarily …

When safety Sean Taylor was murdered and quarterback Jason Campbell was injured a short time later, I figured the Redskins season was pretty much over with. However, something happened. They started playing like a team determined to do something great and overcoming a lot of obstacles.
The Redskins enter the …

I HATE this guy. Flat out hate ISIAH THOMAS. He is one of the most stupid General Managers i have ever known EVER! Don’t get me wrong, he was a great basketball player himself when he led the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 along …

I have to admit that i didn’t even know who Craig Smith was at the start of the regular season for the National Basketball Association. But now, with the revamped roster that the Minnesota Timberwolves has in the wake of the mega deal that involved the departure of the …

Charlotte Bobcats swingman Gerald Wallace who leads the team in steals is one of the most talented and gifted players athletically in the NBA. He is long and at six feet eight inches tall, Wallace has the length to defend the best players around the league. His anticipation for …

Jarron Collins who plays for the Utah Jazz and has an identical twin playing for the New Jersey Nets is a solid back-up center. I have to admit to the fact that sometimes I am at a loss as to who is who when they face each other but …

Wally Szczerbiak acquired in that Ricky Davis deal that sent Davis to the Timberwolves is one of the more deadly midrange shooters around the league. Szczerbiak as a side note also was considered to replace Pierce Brosnan as the 007 agent James Bond. Aside from his acting aspirations, Szczerbiak …

The Atlanta Hawks who has been the eastern conference’s doormat team the last ten years or so now has the chance to be a key factor in the play-offs this year. With a group of young talents who can flat out soar and play, the Hawks are very interesting …

For most of its history, NASCAR races featured drivers who raced their way into the field. Regardless of the number of drivers in a race (and it did vary until the last ten years or so), the field was set by qualifying. For the most part, if …

With Gordon Ramsay becoming such a big name in the world of food and becoming just as famous for his use of the F word, it was perhaps no surprise when he was chosen to front a football bloopers DVD as he never hides his passion for the game.
If …

A lot of people are talking about former Atlanta Falcon’s coach Bobby Petrino and how he left the team after just 13 games. Many are taking the time to call him a quitter and other names. I won’t. I will just reiterate what I said when he took the …

Can you imagine doing anything for sixteen years. The same job, day after day, month after month, year after year. It might drive some people crazy. It doesn’t have that effect on the Houston Rockets back up center, Dikembe Mutombo. He is an ageless wonder from the Georgetown Hoyas …

When the Seattle Seahawks cut former NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, I thought some team would sign him right away.
Turns out, I shouldn’t have been surprised to see him remain unsigned.
I like Shaun Alexander and, in the right situation, he was a dominating running back. However, despite his award, he …

Greg Buckner i think started the whole three position player in the NBA. He is the first one i remember playing from the two guard position all the way to the power forward spot. This is a position being held today by younger players like Josh Boone of the …

Alando Tucker of the Phoenix Suns is the team’s draftee in this year’s NBA draft. He is a solid rookie for the team but has seen very little playing time for now. The Phoenix Suns who will have to use new blood soon as the veterans that they have …

The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t necessarily known for their winnings ways. They hoped to change all this two years ago by selecting Andrew Bogut from UTAH via the NBA draft. Bogut, the seven foot center, has incredible foot work for a big name and can actually shoot unlike so many …

From an American’s perspective, the Nordic Combined, Team Large Hill event at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games were astounding. For the first time in modern history, an American team won a medal in this event. We’ve been shut out for what seems like forever. Then …

Victor Chandler Poker, a member of the iPoker network, is by far my favorite poker site to play on. It has a sleek design, competitive but not great players, fast payouts, and excellent staff.
The interface looks nearly identical to all of the other iPoker network sites, so it should …

Terrence Williams is 6-6, 215 senior forward playing for the University of Louisville basketball team. He plays “point forward,” typically leading the team in assists. His nickname is “T-Will.”
Pros: Williams is probably one of the most gifted athletes in college basketball. He can jump, defend, drive and …

This is another stadium which holds so much history for me, as the football team that I so avidly support has made use of this very stadium as a home ground for as many years as I can remember.
While many memories will eternally live on in me concerning 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 …

There are elite receivers in the NFL. And, then there’s a tier that is slightly below that elite receiver group. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson falls into that group.
Johnson, at one point, probably could have been an elite player in the league. The problem is, his ego got in …

After watching Noah Herron in extensive action during the Packers game against the Rams, I am starting to understand what the coaches saw in him when they decided to keep him and cut Najeh Davenport.
Herron seems to be a solid one-cut runner who is capable of stepping up and …

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 …

I go through golf gloves at an extremely fast rate, usually about 2 every year. I find they wear out in the palm very quickly, and I also rarely find one that is also comfortable for an entire 19 holes. The last time I golfed with a friend of …

Guards in the NBA are making a comeback. When Shaq, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe were all in their prime, it was land of the big men. But now that the calender reads 2008, it’s out with the old, in with the new. This is true on almost every team …

Here’s how I summarize the Carolina Panthers; they lost their starting quarterback for the season and their back up quarterbacks, including Vinnie Testaverde, who was signed a couple of weeks into the regular season, can’t seem to stay healthy. However, they are 4-4 and are still in the playoff …

Good looking, complete tecniques, humble, and unmatched. These are the my first impressions when I saw Roger Federer, the most winning player of grandslam championships in the history of tennis.

The Palms at Sanctuary Cove in Robina, Queensland, less than half an hour from the city center, is one of two courses in the property, the other being The Pines, a longer and tougher course where pro tournaments are played. The course is definitely upscale and charming, and …

I bought my Dakine tour snowboard bag a few years ago to use for trips to the local ski centres
dry slopes and occasional holidays.
The bag I bought is the 165cm one which is big enough to take my 153cm snowboard with bindings attached and still have room for my …

One of the neat sports to watch during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic games is ski jumping. There’s just something about watching these competitors sliding down the hill, going high into the air, and then making a clean landing hundreds of feet later. I’m not a skier, …

Memphis Grizzlies Forward Mike Miller whome they acquired from the Orlando Magic for Drew Gooden is one of those versatile mid players that can almost do everything. Miller can especially shoot from the deep and this perhaps was the reason the Magic drafted him really high on the ‘02 …

In my personal opinion, setting aside the element of bias that may creep in given the fact that I am a South African, the South African Cricket team affectionately known as the Proteas is the best the world of cricket has to offer. Sadly though, this is only limited …

Most people remember Brandon Stokley from the Indianapolis Colts where he was a great third receiver for Peyton Manning’s crucial offense. Since signing a contract with the Denver Broncos, Stokley is proving that it is more than Peyton Manning that made him a good receiver. With Jake Plummer throwing …

Between injuries, a transfer from the University of Virginia to Hofstra and some eligibility snafus, Arlen didn’t play too much college football. He did, however, geta big break by making it to a postseason all-star game, where he was the team MVP and impressed the Saint Louis Rams enough …

The NASCAR races at Infineon are typically fairly boring at least in my opinion. I have a hard time staying focused on the races that take place at the road courses because you don’t see a lot of racing going on. The drivers tend to play it safe and …

Greg Oden who was drafted as the first overall pick in this year’s NBA draft instantly felt what its like to be in the bottom of your emotions in the NBA. After his selection by the Portland TrailBlazers, Oden suffered a season ending injury even before he got to …

Michael Sprott vs Audley Harrison. I have to admit that I have tried supporting Audley for many years, despite his doubters, but as a fighter he has always frustrated me. An awful amount of talk and yet very little in his fights.
Having literally walked through Prize Fighter he was …

Head football coach of the San Francisco 49er’s, Mike Nolan, has been trying to turn a once great football program around. Blessed with nothing more than a quarterback who is more like Ryan Leaf than Joe Montana, Nolan has been implementing his style of play on the field for …
