Growing up a Georgetown Hoyas fan, I learned to appreciate the finer things in life. Finer things like the amazingly talented Alonzo Mourning who was drafted in the first round by the Charlotte Hornets. He was part of a greatly hyped, but rarely winning team in Charlotte where he …

With the acquisition of Brett Favre at quarterback, many people might think the New York Jets have finally taken steps to become a legitimate AFC playoff contender. I’m not so sure that’s the case.
Favre does provide a legitimate upgrade over Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemons both because he has …

lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers is one my favorite players in the league today. He is a six feet ten inch specimen who can play all five positions. He has that rare ability for a big man to handle the ball and facilitate the offense. He gets …

I think that Charlie Weis, after five years at Notre Dame, should be fired for many reasons. One reason I think that Charlie Weis should be fired is because in the last three years, his teams have not been performing up to expectations. Yes, I admit that he has …

Newly acquired Buck Charlie Villanueva who they got from the Raptors in exchange of T.J Ford will be given the chance to prove his worth as a starter with the Bucks. He was given limited and sparring minutes with the Raptors and still was able to make a name …

Just as is the case with Ronaldinho, wathcing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a bit of a sad case for me because I really feel as if he is one of those players who never really worked hard enough to realize his true potential as a football player. With Ronaldinho though, …

OK, the Arizona Cardinals pulled off a couple major upsets this post season and will be competing for their first NFL Championship in 61 years at Super Bowl XLIII.

I have given you my opinion (a good one) …

My boyfriend and I attended the pre-season Buccaneers game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Stadium. Never before had I been there, but I can honestly say that it was a great experience and I would love to return to a game there again someday.
I could feel the rush of …

I’ve seen a lot of great races over the years and a lot of great races at the Kentucky Speedway, but this race was not one of them and there are two reasons for that. The first reason is because the announcers are completely worthless and the second reason …

Though for some reason I’ve never been a fan of the NCAA mens basketball division 1 team, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, I have always been a fan of Chris Bosh. I loved watching Bosh play in college five years ago. He was super tall, coming in aat six …

Allen Iverson who was very popular in Philadelphia before being traded last year to the Denver Nuggets is probably the best at the fast paced game. Iverson though has been struggling with off the court issues throughout his career and has been much maligned for it.
On the court though, …

Rasheed Wallace has been T’d up three times since I started writing this. If anyone knows who this guy is, they know he is the undisputed reigning bad boy of basketball. The twelve year veteran out of the great North Carolina Tarheel program in the NCAA divison 1 mens …

For a beginner golfer like me, it is difficult to find a golf course that is not intimidating, while at the same time, has nice scenery to make the experience somewhat enjoyable. (I say somewhat enjoyable because I do not find golf particularly enjoyable at the best of times). …

The next round of the Carling Cup saw Manchester United pit their wits against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Last year Wolves had fielded a weakened side in the league at Old Trafford and received widespread criticism for it, but this time the side that was going to play looked quite useful. …

Manchester United had not being playing all that well in the Premier League, or perhaps they were not playing too badly, but conceding poor goals and dropping points when they thought they were in the bag.
The Champions League was often a welcome distraction though. Manchester United had been drawn …

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 …

I finally got a chance to see Packers back up quarterback Aaron Rodgers play yesterday after starter Brett Favre got hurt against the Patriots.
From what I saw, in roughly one half of play, I’m not sold on him as the team’s future starter.
Granted, taking over during a 21-0 blowout …

I can’t say too much about Bruce Bowen without becoming completely infuriated. He is a six foot seven small forward out of Cal State Fullerton who currently plays with the San Antonio Spurs. He has played eleven extremely dirty and rule breaking years in the National Basketball Association. And …

After Losing Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics for that trade that happened these summer, the Minnesota Timberwolves enter this season in a search for their new leader and for a new identity. Garnett was such a huge part of their team that his departure signaled an end to …

I remember Aaron Williams now with the Los Angeles Clippers the most when he was still playing for the New Jersey Nets where i believe was the high point of his career in the NBA as well. Back then he was an active contributor to a team that had …

Earl Barron of the Miami Heat has been with the team for over three years now. He was signed by the team to play if and ever Shaquille O’neal or Alonzo Mourning gets injured. Barron though has played very little and far and off in between. It has been …

The Minnesote Vikings got very lucky in last years draft. Their pick for running back, Adrian Peterson, set the NFL rushing record for a single game. Quite the feet for a rookie in this league. That adds some much needed fire power to this offense that has been bland …

One of my very first experiences of playing golf in Alabama was when a friend took me to Cambrian Ridge, one of the Trent Jones Trail golf courses. This one is situated in Greenville, Ala. and is a beautiful, pristine course that is great to play and a pleasure …

It’s hard enough to play proffesional sports in the Big Apple, but playing quarterback in New York is something entirely different. Pennington has handled the job with aplomb, taking over the starting duties in 2002 and setting club records for completion percentage and Quarterback rating. Pennington is very capable …

Plummer clogged up the Bears’ passing lanes in week 1 of 2003, when the ultra-gifted cornerback tallied two passes defensed and two picks, including a staggeing 68-yard interception return for a touchdown. He finished his remarkable compaign with 16 passes defensed. Ahmed certainly does know how to defend his …

Injuries can change the scope of things in the NFL almost overnight. The Seattle Seahawks are the perfect example of this.
At one point, the Seahawks looked like legitimate Super Bowl contenders. They had weapons on both offense and defense and still had a future Hall of Fame coach in …

I’m really happy to see that Stan Van Gundy got himself another coaching job after Pat Riley gave him the boot from on high three years ago. The Van Gundy family has two very talented, basketball minded coaches with Stan and older brother, Jeff. I was thinking that Stan …

The first over all selection of that legendary ‘03 draft was Lebron James from Akron OH. Even at a young age James was already gifted with excellent physical attributes that would make him a prodigy in basketball. And since he came to the NBA his been nothing but greatness.

Now that the 2010 World Cup is over, I suppose it is time to review the performance of the England side, which happens to be my home team. That’s not something I am particularly pleased about, given their disappointing (to use a very mild word) level of achievement in …

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter this year�s playoffs as the #5 seed in the AFC. The reality is, if they played in the AFC North or AFC West, they would easily be the #3 seed behind the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.
The Jaguars are in the playoffs simply because …

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 …

When Javon Walker was a Green Bay Packer, I always felt he was a great speed guy with good hands but wasn’t much more than a number 2 wide out. And after he forced his way off the Packers and joined the Denver Broncos; giving him a chance to …
