I’m Looking Forward To The Olympics

I love the Olympics. There’s something special about competing on that kind of level, with all walks of life from all over the world. The fact that the Olympics originated way back in 776 BC blows my mind. Of course we won’t count the huge time gap in between then and the first modern Olympic […]

The Greatest NFL Mustaches Ever?

When I reminisce about the NFL, I usually think about the greatest players of all time like Johnny Unitas, or the unforgettable plays like the Immaculate Reception. I don’t normally think about a player’s facial hair or grooming habits. But that’s just me.

Candace Who?

So Candace Parker is the latest Hot Dog of women’s basketball. She can not only dunk, some people even think she’s the savior of the WNBA.
But 6′8″ Brittney Griner may have something to say about that.
Griner is a freak of nature. She’s only been balling for three years and she’s already a force to be […]

For Argument’s Sake

Is Candace Parker the savior of the WNBA?
I’m sure that most of you know who Candace Parker is. She’s the only player in women’s professional basketball history to be drafted number one as a junior in college. She’s already won two NCAA championships at Tennessee and her overall skills are mind-blowing. She’s 6′4″ and has […]

A Lil’ Bit Of Heart

A “Lil’ Bit” of heart goes a long way. Just ask Shannon Bobbitt, a.k.a. Lil’ Bit, of the Los Angeles Sparks.
Bobbitt was born in The Bronx, NY and was one of eight children. She played ball in the park in Harlem against much taller and tougher male opponents. But she worked hard on her […]

Parker Repeats History

Candace Parker became only the second woman to ever dunk during a WNBA game last night, following the footsteps of her LA Sparks teammate, Lisa Leslie.

The […]
