With the NFL draft just a week away (and dragging on in the process), I figured it was time to once again take a look at the Green Bay Packers and get a feel of where the team is heading into their one opportunity to land cheap talent before …

When the Packers re-vamped their linebackers last season, the guy I didn’t expect to see starting was Brady Poppinga. However, I think it was a good move.
Poppinga is a decent-sized guy with good instincts and tackling ability. He’s able to get to the ball carrier quickly and is good …

Emeka Okafor of the Charlotte Bobcats who was selected second overall after Dwight Howard has played in the pro’s the way i envisioned him to be. A shot-blocking big man who can rebound and score off of missed shots and great passes from teammate and starting point guard Reymond …

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 …

Edelweiss’s product is the first and only liquid chalk I have ever tried. I’ve always used chalk balls in the past but my new indoor climbing gym insists on the liquid variety - and for good reason.
I was happy to make the purchase because using liquid chalk, of any …

Shaquille “the Diesel” O’neal is widely accepted as probably the most physically dominant player in NBA history. It’s not just that his big but how he uses his heft is how he becomes so dominant. Playing almost exclusively with his back to the basket, O’neal punishes his defenders with …

Beno Udrih is probably the best European player that nobody’s ever heard of. Well, unless of course you’re an avid basketball fan like myself, or live in the Sacramento area where he plays for the Kings. The six foot three guard from Slovenia is among only a few other …

I’m not a big fan of the track in New Hampshire, mainly because it tends to look fairly empty whenever they race there. NASCAR keeps saying that they need to expand to reach all the markets and all the areas where they have fans. That’s true, but I think …

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 …

After the New England Patriots won a few Super Bowls, they thought it smart to get rid of the players who helped get them there and rest the weight of the world on Tom Brady’s shoulders. This was a pill hard to swallow for Deion Branch who was reportly …

One of the key figures in that infamous November brawl at the palace of auburn hills that greatly shamed not just the league but the players involved as well, Stephen Jackson is a very temperamental player who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He constantly blames and ridicules …

I was first introduced to the PBA in grade three when I became a fan of Alvin Patrimonio and the Purefoods Team. Back then, my knowledge about the league is next to none and I seldom watch the games.
But when I was re-introduced once again when I was …

I love riding on our Mongoose Pro mountain bike. Well, it’s actually my husband’s bike so I just borrow it when I want to use it. I think he bought it for about $500. But he bought it in the Philippines so I guess it will be cheaper in …

The Detroit Pistons lost a valuable cog to its championship roster. Ben Wallace’s decision to move to Chicago broke the teams chemistry, But by all means this does not constitute a Broken team. With it’s other starters retained, the Pistons are still in contention for that annual O’Brien Cup. …

I listen to a lot of baseball games through the internet. I love baseball and I especially love listening radio broadcasts.
My favorites are Pat Hughes and Ron Santo for the Cubs. Hughes provides the play by play and is a straight man for Ron Santo. Prior to broadcasting for …

When the Oakland Raiders hired coach Lane Kiffin, I had a lot of doubts about him. And, while I’ve gained a little more respect for him following this past season, I do still think he’s way over his head.
Kiffin did a decent job producing on offense this season; despite …

Kurt Thomas of the Seattle Supersonics is one of the classiest guys you will ever see in the NBA. He is one of the NBA’s version of a gentleman. The Sonics acquired him after stints with the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and the Phoenix Suns. The Suns decided …

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 attended the draw for the Confederations cup to be held as a dress rehearsal for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and I generally felt as if they were making something really big out of something which is not all that big. The draw itself was …

Tony Parker from France is probably the best point guard in the NBA history at finishing in the painted line. His amazing i tell you. He uses this some sort of a nos speed booster that allows him to gain a little advantage and propels him into the painted …

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, …

At the beginning of the year, I thought the 49ers would win the NFC West division. Half way through, it doesn’t look like that will happen. But, they are still improved over what they have been from the past couple years.
The move to Alex Smith at quarterback was a …

Dwyane Wade is a explosive player who gets to the rim anytime he wants. He plays with a recklessness abandon so you know he’s giving full effort every minute on the court. He carried a bad Miami Heat team with a overweight Shaquille O’Neal and barely average teammates to …

The recent decision by the Houston Texans to release quarterback David Carr will come back to haunt them in the future.
Even though Carr has not performed well since the team selected him first overall, most of his performance can be blamed on the lack of talent surrounding him on …

My initial thought was why on earth …

Monta Ellis who won the Most Improved Player in the NBA a year ago has continued that progress and has become a legitimate scorer for the Golden State Warriors. I really like Ellis’s game, he can score in a variety of ways but the most amazing thing about his …
