Wrestler: Big Dave
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 …

LA Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have always been enamored with the glamurous life. After they traded Shaquille O’neal to the Miami Heat though, the Lakers has struggled to regain that competitive and championship caliber type team that they were.
With Kobe Bryant in their team, they will always be a play-off …
Robert Horry
Robert Horry has more rings than an old oak tree. The star from Alabama has played an amazing fifteen years with the National Basketball Association and has always been around for the biggest and best games this league has had to offer in the last decade and a half. …
Brett Favre
Favre is definetly one of the best QB’s in the league, or used to be. He still is a great quarterback no doubt about it, but he seems to be going downhill now in his career. He is one of my favorite players and I hate to say stuff …
Byron Scott
Another recent player turned coach is the New Orleans Hornets coach, Bryon Scott. With a heavy glare, he seems to look through officials to get calls to go his way. He is a very tough man who takes no garbage from anyone on his team. The Hornets themselves aren’t …
Michael Finley
Former Dallas Mavericks star small forward/shooting guard, Michael Finley, looks like a star basketball player. You see him step out onto the floor and do his little leg stretches, it reminds you of that guy in gym class who would shoot free throws while everyone else played dodge ball. …
Taylormade Burner Plus Iron Set
The 2009 Taylormade Burner Plus Iron set is taylormade’s upgrade to their previous burner iron set.
Overall, I was not a big fan of these clubs. I tried them out in steel, regular flex. I felt that they were not forgiving at all. They have a good amount of mass …

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 …
2008 Pittsburgh Steelers
I’ll confess, the Post Season was the first time I’ve watched the Pittsburgh Steelers play all season long. So, when I write about them and try to review the team as they stand and where they are heading, I’m going to have to base it on limited viewing time. …

Tracy Mcgrady
Tracy Mcgrady of the Houston Rockets is capable of doing what only a few elite in the league can, and that is to take over a game with utmost terror!! When not bothered with his bad back T-mac should be the league?s best scorer. The only hindrance to his …
Kobe Bryant
Look around the NBA today and there’s probably one stand out player on every team. These players range in size and personal strengths but they all most likely share one thing is common…popularity. Now, popular doesn’t necessarily mean good and of course good doesn’t necessarily mean the player will …
Al Harrington
Every once in a while you’ll find a player coming out of high school and expecting to make the leap into the NBA. Though league commissioner, David Stern, has since set the age limit for acceptance into the NBA to nineteen years, it wasn’t always like that. And nine …

Brian Cook
Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers has taken a long time to develop into a formidable player in the league. Slowly as it may seem though, he has in my opinion created a name for himself as a legit NBA player that can shoot the ball as a …
Scott Hall

Zydrunas Ilgauskus of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a unique player for his size. At 7-3 tall, Ilgauskus has the soft skills including hitting the jumpers, creating opportunities around the rim with jump hooks and spin moves. His also a very good offensive rebounder for the Cavs since he uses …

Brandon Stokley

Digger
In 2008, a new camera was installed in the ground to get a groundhog-type view of the cars racing around the track in NASCAR. The groundhog made for great folley and was on his way to becoming a star. Soon, the broadcasters set up a contest to name …
Brian Grant
Although Grant is nearing the end of his career, he was and could still be a great tough player. Grant on his haydays playing for the Portland Trailblazers was a very tough player both offensively and defensively. He was a very solid inside and was like a rock to …
Louis Williams
Before David Stern, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, changed the rule last year that prohibited players from making the leap from high school directly into the NBA, one player got in just before the shop closed. Louis Williams, the six foot two inch poing guard from South …

South African rugby team
Affectionately known as the Springboks, the South African national rugby team is the pride and joy of our nation and their second world cup win makes me truly proud to be a South African indeed.

Andy Douglas is one of my current personal Favorites in the tag-team division along with his partner Chase Stevens. The Naturals as they are known, bring fresh new life into tag team wrestling which has declined to a major and critical extent since the demise of World Championship Wrestling, …
Carson Palmer
The Bengals haven’t had much success drafting quarterbacks in the past but I think they finally found their future in quarterback Carson Palmer.
Barring injury, Palmer may be the key to the Bengals returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1980s. Even though he’s only been …
Salomon Impact 7 Ski Boots
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 …
Innova Orc disc golf driver
When I first started playing disc golf, I went through a fair amount of drivers very quickly. Honestly, it was because I lost them faster than I care to remember. There was one driver that I managed to hang onto for a long time though. It …
Ryan Howard
Ryan Howard is as strong as a ox . That’s the first thing you notice when watching him. He’s a huge lefthander 6′4″ 255. I love his demeanor he’s a young player but calm beyond his years. Howard hit 58 home runs in 2006. He was the 2006 …
Andre Miller
Andre Miller came off of the Allen Iverson trade from the Denver Nuggets. He was one of the reasons the Sixers agreed to that trade. In getting Miller the Sixers receive a player who is very tough defensively and also is one of the league’s best assist man. His …

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 …
Calvin Booth
Newly acquired Center for the Philadelphia 76ers is journeyman Calvin Booth whom they pried away from the Dallas Mavericks. I really don’t like his game that much. Or to say it in a more clearer phrase, he has no game. Booth benefits from the fact that he is a …
David Lee
Probably the best pick the New York Knicks franchise made since they selected Patrick Ewing first overall. Mind you, Lee won’t be as good or even as effective as Ewing was but with all the horrendous moves these franchise has made through the years. The pick of David Lee …
Rudy Gay
In the NBA, the draft is designed to turn the worst teams into first teams. The worse you do in a season, the higher the pick potential is in the draft. And for a team like the Memphis Grizzlies who have been really bad for a really long time, …
Eagles Versus Browns
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to be back in championship form after their pre-season win over the Browns last night.
McNaab didn’t look like he missed Terrel Owens as he lead the team to their first score of the game (a field goal) and back up Jeff Garcia showed why …

Dale Earnhardt Junior Fans
Lately I’m beginning to have a real problem with NASCAR fans who love and support Dale Earnhardt Junior. It isn’t all the fans of course, but a large portion of them anyway. I understand supporting your favorite driver and sticking by him for the duration, but there is such …

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 …
Washington Redskins
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 …
Bowlplex Dudley
Both Lynds and I used to bowl in a Sunday morning league at the Bowlplex in Dudley in fact this is where we first met. The Bowlplex is on the new retail park just down from Dudley Zoo and Castle, the Bowlplex is located next down to the …
Greg Jennings
The Green Bay Packers are currently at 7-1 and much of the reason for that is the improvement shown by second year pro Greg Jennings.
Last season, mostly because he was playing hurt, I wasn’t sure just how fast Jennings was. He didn’t seem like much more than a possession …
Othella Harrington
NCAA mens basketball has always had some big named schools, this is especially true of the Georgetown Hoyas who have given the league greats like Patric Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Allen Iverson. There was a little known player in Georgetown during the days of A I, his name was …
