Any time there is a major tournament we typically take a look after the second round and see if there is anyone high on the leaderboard that we haven’t already covered. Usually we have one head scratcher at the top of the leader board that we have to do a lot of digging on to find some information for everyone. Carl Pettersson would be that guy for the PGA Championship. To make things even better,…
Let me preface this entire post by saying that I hate Dwight Howard. I loathe him. He cries and whines more than any player (including LeBron), he skips his own youth basketball camp (without notice), and let’s not even get started on the way he slimed his way out of Orlando. He’s the most overrated player in the history of the NBA considering the loafing on O when it’s not running through him, the blocks…
The 2012 Olympics have been great for Kobe Bryant. He has been far and away the most visible of the 2012 USA Basketball off the court while he takes in various events with his family. He’s been seen at swimming events, track and field, and gymnastics events, helping show his daughters a memorable Olympic experience. But if the rumor mill has any credibility, there’s been plenty of action off the court for Kobe as well….
For Olympic Hurdler Lashinda Demus, running track is a family affair. Her mother, Yolanda Demus (herself an NCAA champion at Cal State in the 400m hurdle), has been her coach since 2009. Lashinda Demus’ husband Jamel Mayrant is her agent. And if you watched the 400m hurdle semi-finals the other night, you certainly know about her twins. With apologies to the other PlayerWives writers who are surely going to give it to me for saying…
Pia Sundhage has been the coach of the US Women’s National team since 2007. Sundhage lead the team to gold in the 2008 Olympics and nearly brought home the World Cup last summer. And they are favorites to win gold again in London. Things have clearly gone well since she has been at the helm. Sundhage is the first foreign-born coach of the Women’s National Team and surprisingly only the 3rd women. She is also…
All four of the guys on this site play fantasy football (some much, much better than others). In what’s become the 21st century version of a bench press competition, fantasy football has become the best way to prove your dominance over your friends, co-workers and random strangers on the internet. Because of the soul crushing pain associated with fantasy losses, we seek out every possibly drop of knowledge, and insider info we can possibly find….
Marlen Esparza is tough. I’m talking beyond just the fact that she’s a female boxer. Here’s a good example. After getting sent to a disciplinary program at school for talkig back to her teachers too much, she found herself at Houston’s Elite Boxing Gym where she asked the head coach if he would train her. He refused for the first few days, but Marlen continued to stick around and pester him until he agreed. Sounds…
