It’s interesting to see NFL Guard Mike Wahle continuing his career with the same coach he started his career with, Mike Holmgren. However, if the Seahawks think they are getting the same dominating lineman that left the Green Bay Packers a couple of years ago, they are mistaken.
Wahle is …

Quarterback Byron Leftwich got his first start with the Atlanta Falcons this past weekend and didn�t even finish the game before he got hurt. That, in my opinion, paints a clear picture about why he won�t be a successful NFL quarterback.

He is definitely much more mobile than Bledsoe was, which was needed considering the …

When the Packers signed Mike McCarthy as their head coach this past offseason I thought he was a good choice for a young team.

When the Packers opted not to re-sign Ahman Green, there was a lot of speculation about who their starting running back would be. In my opinion, the best guy they have at the position is one that probably shouldn’t have even made the team.
DeShawn Wynn was a 7th round …

My local basketball hero is non-other than Alvin Patrimonio, the current manager of the Purefoods franchise, the only ballclub he played during his 16 illustrious career in basketball. Sixteen. That is also the jersey number he and I played. Only, his was retired.
Being a fan to him meant …
