When the Rams parted ways with coach Mike Martz and replaced him with Scott Linehan, I thought that was a great move and expected it to get them back into the playoffs. I didn’t expect them to be 4-1 and contending this season though.
Overall, the Rams aren’t overly impressive …

Josh Boone of the New Jersey Nets was drafted in the first round in the ‘04 draft out of Uconn. He struggled early on with both his playing time and his play in general. He had very little playing time in his rookie year and mightily struggled. In his …

I was asking the salesman at my local golf shop for game improving irons and he led me towards the Callaway X18 Iron Set.
This is an older set of Callaway irons. After this, they have created the X20 and X22’s. The X18 was their revolutionary model which was a …

Brandon Bass of the Dallas Mavericks totally caught me off guard this year. I didn’t even know who this guy was and there he goes playing every game of the year and averaging a respectable seven points and five rebounds a game. This is quite impressive for someone not …

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 …

As I write these words, Spain has just lifted the World Cup for the first time in the nation’s history. That being so, it is perhaps a bit unfair to be too critical of them, and I do accept that they have been the best footballing side in the …
