The most amazing aspect of this race was the unexpected, and no, I don’t mean in the racing. Part of the asphalt track deteriorated so much that they stopped the race to repair it. The red flag came out with 78 laps to go, prompting a delay …

When the Atlanta Falcons announced they had hired Mike Smith as their head coach, I was actually a bit surprised.
Normally, owner Arthur Blank looks to make a big splash by hiring someone he expects to turn the team around overnight. Smith isn’t going to be that guy.
I do …

Brooking put forth some filthy efforts for the “Dirty Birds” in 2003. The Prow Bowl linebacker led the Falcons with 144 tackles, that made him second in the NFC, and had five games with double-digit solo stops. He seems pretty small to be doing that at 6′2″ and 245 …

Gordan Giricek who originally started his career with the Memphis Grizzlies after that said team drafted him into the NBA has fallen off of the graces of now Utah Coach Jerry Sloan. I expect Gordan to be traded any time soon when the team and coach Sloan asked him …

Well, the New England Patriots finally lost a Super Bowl a couple seasons ago and, as a result, felt the so-called curse that happens to Super Bowl losers. The funny thing is the team is so well built, they almost beat it.
OK, show of hands here, when Tom Brady …

While I don’t like the Pittsburgh Steelers (it comes with being a Ravens fan) I did respect them as worthy adversaries. They had a formidable offense and a defense that rivaled even our great one. As such, I always knew that a game against them would be …

It’s short track racing again for the 43 drivers of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Rain had washed out practices and qualifying on Friday and Saturday, so the track was raw as the race began. By virtue of being the points leader, Jeff Gordon was on the …

Two years ago, the NBA draft produced some big names. Among these included was not a six foot two guard from the Texas Longhorns by the name of Daniel Gibson. Daniel may have taken this a little personally as he exploded last season as a rookie to give the …

Mo Williams who just signed a five year $57 million contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks has proven that he was worth all that money that the Bucks threw his way. He has lightning quick first step that allows him to get into the basket and use his …

Sean May who won an NCAA championship with the University of North Carolina tar Heels had a stellar collegiate career. He is a son of a former NBA player as well. His collegiate success though has not resulted in an NBA success. A native of Chicago IL., May was …

Now that Donovan McNaab’s season is over, I think it’s time for him to consider retirement or, at very least, a change of location.
McNaab was a solid starter for the Eagles for several years. However, I credit that to his mobility and to a solid defense.
After two straight season-ending …

Playing in the shadows of the “more popular” town rival the Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers are slowly rehabilitating there image and team concept in general. After being labeled as a team with a cheap owner who won’t spend big time money to acquire quality free agents, the clippers …

First practice for NASCAR’s 2009 race at the Martinsville short track took place Friday morning on March 27th. Rain was threatening and would eventually rain out qualifying for that afternoon, but the Sprint Cup drivers were able to get in their entire morning practice.
My favorite, Jeff Gordon, ended …

I first noticed and so do the rest of the nation Kareem Rush while he was still playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in the Shaq and Kobe era. He was a key reserve for that team off the bench as he relieves some pressure off of shaq with …

Big John Studd was just fading away from wrestling when I first took attention to him, and unfortunately passed away shortly after. He was a big man, and a great wrestler for his size and I feel if he had been alive today, he would have been classed as …

It�s now week 11 of the NFL season and the Carolina Panthers are trying to decide who to start at quarterback. The fact they have to think about it really makes me doubt David Carr will be in the league much longer.
When he was quarterbacking for the Houston Texans, …

My main complaints about ski goggles have always been getting the fit right so it is comfortable, as well as the whole lenses fogging up issue. I have gone through several goggles, and I finally think I found a good pair. I would sacrifice good looks for functionality when …

Cam Newton is a quarterback that played in college for the Auburn Tigers. He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers. I believe that he’s a wonderful quarterback. He is very versatile and he can almost do anything that’s expected of a quarterback. He …

The Linn Park Municipal Golf Course on the south side of Glasgow is an 18-hole golf course that I have played on numerous occasions. It is a very short course by comparison to others with a Par of only 63. Many of the holes are longish Par 3 with …

Charlie Haas is one of the best technical wrestlers to hit the big leagues in many years. I watched his first ever match on his debut in the WWE along with his then tag team partner Shelton Benjamin, who had both just debuted as ‘Team Angle’ prot’g’s of Wrestling …

The Orlando Magic’s franchise got the wishes when they won the ‘02 NBA draft. They selected Dwight David Howard out of South Christian academy in Atlanta. Howard in my humble opinion will eventually blossom into those rare breed of NBA players that are labeled as ” Franchise Changing” players. …

S-League stands for Singapore League, and it is a local scene in my country for the local popular sports, soccer. And there are lots of league clubs competing against one another to reign championship. There are the seasons, of course.
Am I an avid fan? Honestly …

Deion Branch, when you hear that name you think of the days when he was a member of the New England Patriots, not the current days with the Seattle Seahawks. Why? Obviously because he is having some very rough years in Seattle. The quarterback just isn’t as good, and …

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 …

The Green Bay Packers have a lot in common with the new wave of head coaches taking the league by storm. They’re young, inexperienced, yet everyone is willing to jump on their backs and let their fresh legs carry them to the promised land. This is true in Green …

Wally Szczerbiak may be the only person in the world (outside of his family who share the name) whom contains a name with two Z’s in it. I had to google this just now to spell “Szczerbiak” I had it “Sczerbiac” Close, but no cigar. With the name you …

Memphis is home to more than the blues and country music. They serve more there than some good southern barbeque. Memphis is home to the Tigers, a NCAA mens basketball division 1 team. And on that team that is rarely known to most people, they do have some talent. …

A lot of people think this is the year the Arizona Cardinals finally end their losing streak and make the playoffs. I’m not convinced.
On paper, the Cardinals have a ton of talent and Ken Whisenhunt definitely has the pedigree. But, I’m still not sure if they can escape the …

Earl Clark is one of the stars of the University of Louisville’s 2008/2009 college basketball team. He is one of the best slashing big men in the country and has a lot of talent. He is a 6-9 forward weighing 220 pounds and will leave the team …

A few years ago, I couldn’t think of any receiver that would be a better fit for any team in the league than Marvin Harrison. Today though, I think he’s a guy who will soon be seeing his final games in the NFL.
Harrison has great hands, decent speed and, …

The Seattle Supersonics will experience a great decline in the next two years before they can reap the benefits of drafting Collegiate player of the year and consensus best collegiate player in Kevin Durant. They decided to start from scratch and traded away their star players in Ray Allen …

What is up with the Braves this year? It seems like they can’t decide if they want to continue being a good team or if they want to end their record breaking 14 straight titles over the past 14 years this year. They also seem to …

Let me say going in that I think the scoring for the Original Dance of the Ice Dancing event at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was pretty spot on. I can’t really complain at all about how the judging went down, except that I might question just a …

Former Duke point guard Chris Duhon who currently runs the offense for the Chicago Bulls has earned himself a reputation as a tireless worker who plays and practices through pain for the good of the team. He was much praised when he experienced a very painful rib injury last …

The second oldest rookie in the NBA this year, Luis Scola who was drafted originally by the San Antonio Spurs and is now playing for the Houston Rockets after a summer trade that sent him there is probably a hidden gem. My prediction will be that the Spurs will …

Red Bull Racing are, as I write this in the spring of 2010, a bit of an enigma when it comes to Formula One teams. By rights they ought to be streaking away with the world championship, since they have two extremely fast drivers in Mark Webber and Sebastian …

The San Antonio Spurs is the ultimate NBA team this decade. Coached by Greg Popovich who teaches team play and team oriented defense, the Spurs have mastered the art of winning ugly in my humble estimation. I saw a poll in ESPN one time and it ranked the Spurs …

This was the race that I’ve been waiting all season long to see. It had excitement and crashes along with an ending that you had to see to believe. When the race started, I was just excited to see how the drivers would handle themselves on the track in …

As a die-hard Packers fan, I believe the best thing the Detroit Lions can do for my team is keep Matt Millen as their general manager.
I mean, how does that guy keep his job? All Millen has done as GM is waste first round picks on players who don’t …

It is actually funny how Trenton Hassel ended up together with Juwan Howard for the Dallas Mavericks. Early in the summer, the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Juwan Howard to the Minnesota Timeberwolves in exchange for Trenton Hassel. At that time the Mavericks needed a defensive stopper who can …
