When I look at the 2007 Minnesota Vikings, I am reminded of Murphy�s Law �What can go wrong, will go wrong.� The reality is, if the Vikings didn�t have bad luck, they would have no luck at all.
The defense is probably the only bright spot on the team. Or, …

I initially was drawn to the Black Widow Venom Hammer bowling ball because of the wonderful colors and design on the front of the ball. Let’s face it. Part of bowling is having a ball that is exciting and powerful at the same time. The Black Widow Venom Hammer …

Delonte West of the Boston Celtics who was drafted out of St. Johns University is an intriguing prospect. He played college ball as a good two guard with a great point guard in Jameer Nelson to give him the ball. But as he lacked the size to be a …

Over the past few years, the Detroit Lions have been a joke. Each year, they draft the next big star only to continue to be one of the worst teams in the league.
This year, I think they may surprise a few people.
The defense hasn’t improved much in terms of …

Being a sports fan is never easy, even if you follow a successful team, as I encountered when Manchester United faced Barcelona in the 2009 European Cup Final.
The year before, my club Manchester United had won the Premier League and European Cup double and they were 90 minutes from …

Renaldo Balkman of the New York Knicks is one of the very few players in the Knicks line-up that the critical Knicks fans are proud about. He was drafted by Isiah Thomas when nobody else wanted to draft him. And i must admit that it is one of the …

Since I only started really understanding what the World Cup means in magnitude, back in France 1998, my anticipation for each subsequent FIFA World has grown in leaps and bounds and South Africa 2010 was the most highly anticipated one for me.
Alhtough I was dissappointed that South Africa didn’t …

Two years ago, the Chicago Bears were the team to beat in the NFC and were good enough to win a Super Bowl (though they ended up losing it).
This year, I really can’t see this team being anything more than a bottom feeder in the NFL.
I don’t even know …
