There are elite receivers in the NFL. And, then there’s a tier that is slightly below that elite receiver group. Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson falls into that group.
Johnson, at one point, probably could have been an elite player in the league. The problem is, his ego got in …

Offensively Jamaal Crawford of the New York Knicks has what it takes to be a dominant high scorer in this league. He has that explosive step to the basket that leaves defenders off his wake and he also has that unlimited range that extends all the way up to …

After firing their head coach immediately after seasons end, the Baltimore Ravens began shopping for a coach who could offer some offensive production. In all his years there, Brian Billick, the so-called offensive genius, kept the Ravens near the bottom of the league in offensive yards gained, points scored …

After seeing the Packers playing Saturday, I came to two conclusions. They need to add veteran offensive linemen and the defense needs experience.
Judging from that performance, in which they only put up 3 points, I think it’ll be another long football season for them. However, they are young guys …

This is one event I always look forward to, to kick start the new year in terms of the sports calendar and this time around the local summer MTN One Day International Series featured the Indian cricket team as opponents for South Africa’s Proteas.
After having sat through the drawn …

Even though I read a lot of columns relating to NFL football, I usually don’t take the writers 100 percent at their word because, after all, they are just writers; what do they really know?
Sports Illustrated columnist Michael Lombardi is an exception.
After working in the player personnel departments of …

I love to watch soccer game or football. They are really entertaining, especially the english premiere league and the champions league. They play football in a beautifull way, the tactic, the individual skills of their player are awesome. They can play in 90 minutes without even look very tired. …

I am slowly taking a liking to Bobby Lashley over the past few weeks after witnessing a match between him and Chris Benoit in which he proved that he could work the mat, and that he could work a great and solid technical match. Although, this was against Benoit, …

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.
So, the question is, are they are good as they have been playing?
I have given you my opinion (a good one) …

When it comes to NFL running backs, you have those who go on to have Hall of Fame careers, those who either get hurt or just don’t have the talent to last more than a couple of seasons and then you have guys like Travis Henry, who could be …

I’m an avid skier and it’s really important to me to have good equipment that will last and most importantly will offer the greatest safety. That being said, my friends recommended that I spend the extra money and invest in a pair of Oakley A Frame Ski Goggles.
The …

Now that Tony Sparano has been named Miami Dolphins’ head coach, I have to question the decision a bit.
Not that Bill Parcells doesn’t know what he’s doing when he hired his former assistant coach, it’s just Sparano might be a bit overrated because he really hasn’t accomplished a whole …

Professional’s Choice Ballistic Overreach Boots are bell boots that offer your equine superstar superior protection from overreaching. Overreaching occurs when the horse steps so far underneath himself that his back hooves hit the front hooves, causing injury and pain. I have a horse who overreaches, but I will use …

NASCAR’s truck series was supposed to get under way on Friday evening, February 12, but rain meant that the race wasn’t held until Saturday evening, after the Nationwide race was concluded. The truck series is a different breed, a mix of veteran drivers, Sprint Cup wannabes, and everything …

The Vancouver Canucks NHL team is certainly not the most successful team as far as winning Stanley Cups go; in fact, in their 80 year history, they have never won the coveted championship cup and have only made it into the final twice. Still, hockey fans in Vancouver and …

As a die hard Oakland Raider fan, I remember the battle cries of nine years ago, ‘There’s a new kid in town” was the chant that welcomed coach Jon Gruden to the Oakland Raider ogranization. With his mean scowl and hot tempered ways, he was colorfully coined “Chucky” after …

Former San Francisco 49er, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Jeff Garcia, has had a tough and long storied and bumpy road in his NFL career. PLaying with the outspoken Terrell Owens in San Fran and then almost starving to death from lack of talent in Cleveland, no one …

Balls Mahoney is another of my personal favorite Wrestlers from the 90’s. Not only was he one of my favorites though, he was one of the most over and memorable figures in the Wrestling company Extreme Championship Wrestling. His character was unique so much with so many generic and …

The New York Jets didn’t have much to offer their unruley, impatient fans this year. Their record ended up too embarrassing to even put in print, and they’re not even sure if they have a quarterback for next season. But their on again off again relationship with wide receiver …

Brevin Knight is one of the smallest players in the league right now. But this is not a measure of his character. Knight who has continually battled the public perception on him being too small to play in the big man’s game has in my opinion more than made …

For a fast player like me, the dynamics of a soccer boot used should fall within a specific range of design, with special focus on comfort, fit, style and even durability.
After spending hours and hours in within the confines of a specialist shoe factory, trying on all sorts of …

Kevin Durant is one of the best players to come out of college in recent history. I followed this guys career throughout his freshmen year last season playing for the University of Texas and all i can say is that he will be the next dominant scorer in the …

Very nice item if you can afford it. (If you are a smart shopper you will drop about $300-350 after shipping)
Well built, and very useful. You adjust the weight by simply turning a dial. From 5-52.5 lbs in very small increments. You could go from 5,7.5,10,12.5,15, and on upward …

The first time I witnessed Benni play was under very controversial circumstances in which the young seventeen-year-old, eyebrow-raising selection proved the then South African national team coach, Jomo Sono, to be right in picking the young lad. A true desire to make his mark saw him play with real …

Reminiscent of Mugsy Bogues and Spudd Webb, is the New York Knicks small point guard, Nate Robinson. Though I have nothing but contempt and hatred in my heart for the Knicks and the way Thomas is coaching that team into the ground, I like rooting for the little guy, …

Cuttino Mobley who was drafted at the second round in the NBA draft by the Houston Rockets and paired with Steve Francis to bring that team back to respectability after the Hakeem Olajuwon Days. He is a consistent threat from the three point range and he also has a …

Somehow Jeff Foster of the Indiana Pacers have never developed into a better offensive player in the NBA than what he is now. I like him in the fact that he is a very good rebounder both offensively and defensively. He is really good at tipping in shots as …

The teams that fired their head coaches this year weren’t much of a shock. What was more of a shock is the fact the Kansas Chiefs didn�t make any changes, at very least at General manager.
Let�s face it, this team is terrible; even worse than their record indicates. They …

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 …

Kyle Lowry of the Memphis Grizzlies is one of the better athletic point guards out there in the league today. Although he has seen less and less of a playing time with the Grizzlies primarily due to the fact that back-up point guard Juan Carlos Navarro has been playing …

The consensus among most NFL observers is JaMarcus Russell will be the #1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. And, while I think he has the physical tools to be a pro quarterback, I have to question whether he’s mentally ready.
My biggest concern over the junior out of …

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, …

Ronnie Brewer of the Utah Jazz is the leading most improved player in my opinion in the whole league so far this year. With the Jazz needing badly to have a shooting two guard which is the weakest spot they have in their roster, comes the emergence of Ronnie …

Yet to win away from home in the league, Manchester Uniteds next test was a trip away to play Sunderland. Just like Bolton this was never an easy game. For United it always seemed to be a fixture that was either very comfortable or very tight, as like Bolton, …

The Indiana Pacers whom through the years has been suffering with public relations disaster with the arrests and being indicted the pacers has gone into this season with a minimal expectation from their fans and the experts alike, they have performed tremendously well for their standards.
What i like …

The Head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Avery Johnson has slowly ascended in the field of good coaches in the NBA. Johnson started out as an undrafted point guard for the San Antonio Spurs. He went on to lead that team to it’s first ever championship when he partnered …

Mike Dunleavy of the Golden State Warriors who’s also the son of the coach of the Los Angeles Clippers defines in my opionion the combination of potential and versatility. At six-feet nine inches, Dunleavy can easily handle the ball and take it up the court. He can also drive …

A player that came with that deal for the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers is swingman Maurice Evans who came with Brian Cook for Trevor Ariza. Evans was supposedly a player thrown in that deal to make it work financially for both teams but so far he …

When the Green Bay Packers drafted Korey Hall this past April, I didn’t think too much of the move. Hall had played linebacker in college and they said they were going to convert him to fullback; a position he never played before. I figured, at best, he was going …

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 Milwaukee Bucks is a team that is on the rise in the East. They have collected over the years a great number of players who can harmoniously exists with each other and be effective. Leading this team is sharpshooter two guard Michael Redd. Occupying the other guard spot …

After playing for the University of Kansas in the collegiate ranks and was a key player for that team, many people in the NBA sought Nick Collison. He was highly touted when he first came into the league as being a smart, witty player who gives you more that …

Have you ever seen that weird aliend movie with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr.? You know, the one where Gossett is wearing the alien costume? Well, if you have seen that movie, then you know that the alien in that movies bears a striking resembelece to the Los …

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 …

Going into the 2007 season, it looked like the Arizona Cardinals had finally turned a corner and were going to be a playoff team. Now that we’re half-way through the season, I think its obvious that they still are the same team they were last year; loaded with talent …

Universal nutrition promises that their product lava is the energy boost you need to achieve your maximum results. Can this product keep the promise?

Wrestlemania has come around once again and did not fail to dissapoint, I really enjoyed the feeling of seeing Wrestlemania in an outdoor venue with all the extra effort put into the pyro and titantron, it just adds to the event so much. Anyways, on to the matches:
—1st Match: …

Donyell Marshall whom the Cavaliers acquired through free agency three years ago has been at sporadic at times. He can certainly shoot the ball and can also be effective in the middle. Marred with injuries so far these year, Marshall has seen his playing time dwindle.
I did remember the …

Memphis Grizzlies All Star and the main pivot for the Spanish National team Pau Gasol is one of the most promising dominant figures in the game. He mainly plays inside and on offense uses variety of moves from spins, head fakes and his ability to evade defenders with …
