A lot of people are talking about former Atlanta Falcon’s coach Bobby Petrino and how he left the team after just 13 games. Many are taking the time to call him a quitter and other names. I won’t. I will just reiterate what I said when he took the …

To be honest, Formula 1 racing just isn’t my thing. I watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on, or if I’m particularly curious about something. It’s just that compared to NASCAR, F1 bores me.
The opening race of 2009 was in Melbourne, Australia. …

For the former Maryland Terrapins star guard, D.J. Strawberry, growing up in the shadow of his father was a hard thing to do. Young Strawberry, who is best known as lil’ Darrell, is the son of former Major League Baseball (MLB) player, Darrell Strawberry. It was no question for …

Last season, the Jets took …

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 …

Recently let go from his head coaching position for the Baltimore Ravens, coach Brain Billick is the most deserving head coach released this season. Regarded as an “offensive genius” his Ravens team managed to be among the bottom of the offensive production head for every year he was …

Phoenix Suns Forward/Guard/Center Boris Diaw(his position definition alone tells you the versatility he has) is one of the league’s most versatile big-man. At 6 feet 9inches tall, he can handle the rack and at times last season take the bal up the court when Steve Nash is resting on …

While I like his leadership, I do think teams that are serious about signing former Miami Dolphins Linebacker Zach Thomas as a free agent are going to have to look at him very closely.
The former 5th round pick has been two 7 Pro Bowls. That’s great. But, he’s also …

Now in all my football following exploits I have never ever come across a more under-rated player than Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and it really baffles me how the world keeps on misjudging the quality that is in Samuel Eto’s boots.
In my personal view, it is players such as Samuel …

In my opinion Chauncey Billups is one of the most over-rated point guards of all time. He has benefited greatly from playing in a great team with great chemistry and has taken credit for most of it. I really don’t like his game at all. Some of his avid …

The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Sam’s Town 300 race just didn’t hold my interest today while it was on. The event was rain delayed for about 90 minutes, and it was a dreary day here as well, so maybe that had some subliminal effect on my reaction.
It could be …

In his prime, i strongly regarded …

The Denver Nugget’s head coach, George Karl, is no stranger to life in the NBA. He may seem familiar to some of you Seattle Sonic fans out there and will certainly be remebembered as a no nonsense, take no prisoners type of coach. Just to look at him gets …

If the Bears repeat as NFC North Champs this year it’ll be because they play in a weak division, not because of anything they did over the offseason.
The Bears defense is going to scare teams and I expect it to rank in the top 5 this year. However, they …

At the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France is the …

For me, Camby is the best weak side help defender in the league. Majority of his blocks are made helping out. He has led the league in blocks the last couple of years and it shows the type of player Camby is. Although often injured with his slender build, …

The Camping World 300 race was the opening race for the Nationwide Series. Held on February 13, 2010 in Daytona, the field was led by Kyle Busch on the poll with Carl Edwards completing the first row. Fifteen drivers are also in the Sprint Cup Series and …

I mean, let’s face it. The only reason the Raiders even …

Over a decade ago, Virgina Union had a nasty player in their mens basketball program that they knew was a phenominal player. Unfortunately for teams of the NBA, they found out about him too late. Ben Wallace is probably the best all around low post defender in the last …

I HATE this guy. Flat out hate ISIAH THOMAS. He is one of the most stupid General Managers i have ever known EVER! Don’t get me wrong, he was a great basketball player himself when he led the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 along …
