When it comes to the San Antonio Spurs prized backup shooting guard, Manu Ginobili, I’ve found myself with egg on my face a few times. The first time, I confused his last name, Ginobili, with an Italian name and assumed that’s where he hailed from. The second time, was …

As much as I like Tony Dungy, I do think he’s getting to the point where it is time for him to retire.

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 …

I’m really not sure how or when these paintballs came out, but I do know that they’re about the best paintballs I’ve ever used. It confuses me that now Diablo is producing All Star paintballs, which have been an RPS trademark for years. They are much cheaper than RPS …
