Sport Reviews
Thaddeus Young
The Philadelphia 76ers are attempting to build a new team completely from scratch. This is evidenced by their recent obsession with picking up only young players and competely ridding the team of anyone with experience. The trend continued last NBA draft with the Sixers selected the six foot eight …
Buffalo Bills Preseason
My team-by-team review of the NFL continues with a look at the final AFC East Team, the Buffalo Bills.
This is a team that really doesn’t do a whole lot that gains media attention normally. But, in an effort to catch up with the rest of the division, they did …
Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar is considered as best batsman of recent time. He averages more then 60 in test matches and around 45 in one day international. He has already had most of the record under his name and the one, that are not under his name are not very far …
Hilton Armstrong
Hilton Armstrong of the New Orleans Hornets is a type of player that does everything possible in him to be in the NBA. He has very limited offensive skills solely depending on passes from Chris Paul and from tipping in missed shots off the offensive rebound.
But the fact that …
Mardy Collins
Mardy Collins of the New York Knicks is a less heralded player whom the Knicks drafted. There was this speculation that he was asked by coach Isiah Thomas to deliberately foul hard Carmelo Anthony in that game where the Nuggets blew out the New York Knicks in New York …
Maurice Cheeks
After Larry Brown left the Philadelphia 76ers, nobody thought they would have a good team again for a while. And then Allen Iverson left and everyone in Philadelphia pretty much went back to liking football. Maurice Cheeks arrived after Allen had left the team and never got a chance …
Baron Davis
Whether it was with the Hornets or now the Golden State Warriors, the six foot three point guard from UCLA in his eighth year, Baron Davis, has always been a legitimate super star player. Around five years ago, when Davis was first leaving his mark on the league, he …
Yao Ming
Houston Rockets Star Yao Ming who hails from China is undoubtedly the next best big man in the league. Although not in the same mold as the ever dominating Shaquille O’neal, Ming is a bit of a finesse player who has great ability in or around the rim to …
Houston Texans
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 …
Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR
The Coca-Cola 600 is one of those NASCAR races that real fans consider one of the biggest races and one of the races they have to see in person along with the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400. For the last two years I’ve been lucky enough to see …
Coca Cola tigers in the PBA
Philippine Basketball Association team The COCA Cola tigers supported and paid by the world renowned soda makers, are making waves at the PBA. with a core line-up of ALi Peek, John Arigo and Johnny Abbarientos, the coca cola tigers have contended for the title the last couple of years. …
2006 Green Bay Packers
Watching the Packers offseason moves this year, I’m thinking they are either going to be a playoff team or another 4-12 team. They have more raw talent than they’ve had in years but the players are young and are going to need time to develop.
Brett Favre’s return does help …
Jamal Magloire
Jamaal Magloire was a former all star for the Eastern Conference and very nice pick up for the New Jersey Nets who last year lacked the depth and the toughness to contend for the title. With Magloire in hand and the return of starting Center Nenad Kristic from injury …
Basketball Player: Will Scott
Will Scott is a 6-4 Senior guard for the University of Louisville’s men’s basketball team. He hails from New York City and transferred from Cornell University.
Pros: Will Scott is a really smart kid. His dad is a doctor, and Will Scott himself is going …
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 …
Inov8 F-lite 300 running shoes
I took the opportunity to try these shoes when I saw a barely-used pair advertised cheaply on Ebay. They came highly recommended by fellow-runners for their light weight and superb grip. F-lites are marketed as a road shoe but other users said they had performed outstandingly well …
Brian Scalabrine
The Redhead From California, Brian Scalabrine who was an instrumental player coming off the bench for the New Jersey Nets when they were making there run for the title is a good addition for the Celtics as he provides them with hustle, toughness and some offense off the bench. …
Richard Hamilton
There have been a lot of talented basketball players to come out of the University of Connecticut Huskies NCAA program. You can look around the league and spot a Huskies alumni on every other team. They can recruit in the nort east and they can coach those young men …
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards has been a constant figure in the Eastern Conference play-offs picture since the day they signed Gilbert Arenas. With the trio of themselves in Arenas, Jamison and Caron Buttler, The Wizards will remain a play-off team for the East in the next five years. Their …
Loftus Stadium, Pretoria, Gauteng Province South Africa
I have always loved attending matches at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria, especially football matches.
Situated in Pretoria, affectionately known as the “City of Champions”, this stadium holds so much history for me that the up and coming FIFA World Cupâ„¢ will be nothing but the “cherry on top”.
In …
Maria Sharopova
Maria Sharopova is a unique example of beauty with Brains and lot of hard work earlier she was known for her beautiful look it on the court, but soon she made her presence felt as a tennis player as well, l when she won Wimbledon championship. She is a …
Andrew Strauss, cricketer
It took the England cricket selectors much too long, in my opinion, to give Andrew Strauss the national captaincy (at least as far as Test cricket is concerned) on a permanent basis. When Michael Vaughan stepped down, Strauss performed pretty well in a tricky series against Pakistan, but was …
J.J Redick
Talk about controversial players in the Country, J.J Redick is one of those players when he came into the league. Drafted by the Orlando Magic as the thirteenth overall pick two years ago, Redick has been getting better minutes for the team now than in his rookie year. In …
Malik Rose
Malik Rose of the New York Knicks is one of those players in the NBA that has a great knack for the ball. He is a bit undersized for a power forward or a Center but can match up pretty well in either of those positions since he can …
Detroit Lions Preseason
There’s an old saying “No place to go but up.” That description pretty much describes the Detroit Lions, who enter their first training camp after going 0-16 last year.
The Lions have made some significant changes over the past couple of months ranging from a new coaching staff to efforts …
NASCAR Nationwide Race-Chicagoland 2008
I was looking forward to the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the Chicagoland Speedway. Not only do I like the track, but I was also excited to see the first race under the lights. During the off season the track installed lights and moved their race from the day …
Seattle Seahawks
While the Seattle Seahawks enter the NFC playoffs as the 3rd seed, I have to think they are entering as one of the weaker teams in the post season.
The Seahawks were able to dominate their division but there aren�t many teams in their division with more than a few …
Stephon Marbury
New Knick guard Stephon Marbury the self proclaimed greatest point guard in the league today and as he said probably all time is much maligned in the new york media as he has been unable to deliver the Knicks to the promised land. Finishing last in the Eastern Conference …
Richard Jefferson
RJ as often called in the league, Jefferson has slowly evolved from a mediocre player to a perennial all-star in the league. Acrobatic in his natural way, he often opens up the lane with his drive to the basket shots and his commendable shot from 15foot and beyond. Highly …
Alando Tucker
Alando Tucker was a standout at the University of Wisconsin. He was the star there for 4 years straight. He can pull up and shoot the three, drive into the lane and score, drive and put a floater in off the board, as well as hit the mid-range shot. …
Spygate
When the topic of Spygate first came out in the media, I was interested. Like most people, I’ve grown bored with the New England Patriots and their winning ways so any scandal to bring them back down to Earth was a welcome one.
But, it’s been months now and, quite …
Tyrus Thomas
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 …
IPL’s Twenty -20 Cricket Tournament
This was a unique tournament played in India in April-May 2008 where some of the world’s best cricket players were seen in action. This was a multi million dollar tournament watched by millions of cricket lovers all over the world. I watched a number of matches on the TV. …
Mikki Moore
If you’re looking for a big power forward to put your hopes and dreams on and ride all the way to the bank, then look no further. The National Basketball Association is in no short supply of talented power forwards, and the big man from the Nebraska Cornhuskers, seven …
Innova Dart disc golf driver
I have been playing disc golf for several years now, and I have putted with a variety of putters. I got my start like a lot of other players, putting with a distance driver or midrange disc. As I recall, I spent my first ten rounds or …
Drew Gooden
I’m a fan of talent in the sport of basketball, but I’m also picky about players attitudes. The six foot ten forward from the Kansas Jayhawks, Drew Gooden, seems to be both talented and have a great attitude. But I just can’t find myself rooting for him to win. …
Flip Saunders
The Detriot Pistons had everything they could have ever dreamed of a few short years ago. They had a NBA championship in which they beat the Lakers in a route to win and they had the best coach in the world in my opinion, Larry Brown. They traded all …
Cristiano Ronaldo
In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best footballer in the world. He is playing for my favorite football club of all time, Manchester United. He is relatively unknown to the world when he broke the British transfer fee record for a teenager to join the club in …
Joakim Noah
For Joakim Noah, escaping his father’s shadow was almost an impossible task. For those of you who don’t know, Joakim’s father is tennis legeng and french idol pop star, Yannic Noah. Though Joakim never aspired to have fame greater than that of his father’s, he did want to step …
Pau Gasol
Spanish Superstar Pau Gasol who now plays for the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA has become a legitimate superstar in the NBA. At seven foot tall and someone who has legitimate size, Gasol also has speed and this allows him to out maneuver his defenders and get to the …
Keyoon Dooling
Keyoon Dooling of the Orlando Magic was a former high lottery pick who has bounced around the league for quite some time. Mainly due to his inconsistent play and injury issues. but, when healthy Dooling is a serviceable guard reserve who can get at hot at any given moment …
Mike McCarthy
The Green Bay Packers finally returned to their winning ways this year. It’s been a long time for wiley veteren Brett Favre. Since Mike Holmgren left the team, most Packer players and fans alike all thought the glory days were said and done. With Mike McCarthy only coaching his …
Preseason Lions versus Broncos
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 …
Fabricio Oberto
Fabricio Oberto of the San Antonio Spurs is a player that compliments All-Star Forward Tim Duncan. He does all the hard, dirty work in the middle and often defends bigger Centers so that Duncan can conserve his energy for the clutch where the team sorely needs his contributions.
What i …
Theo Ratliff
Since I was back in high school a decade ago I’ve been watching the former Wyoming star, Theo Ratliff, play in the NBA. The six foot ten center/power forward has always excited the crowd with his intense style and determined swagger. Though most of his career he’s been a …
Adilux Taekwondo Shoes
The newest taekwondo shoes made by Adidas are the Adilux taekwondo shoes.
Pros:
They have no laces and are easy to put on quickly.
They are very light weight.
Awesome styling.
They protect your feet from the mats or floor when doing pivoting kicks.
Cons:
Workmanship and quality are at a low.
After 3 weeks the sole …
CJ Miles
CJ Miles of the Utah Jazz has been in the league for over two years now as he is entering his 3rd season this year. The problem is the fact that he has not made any good strides for his career and is in danger of losing his roster …
Brandon Jackson
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. …
