The San Francisco 49ers have been playing well this season with Super Bowl LVIII in sight. The 49ers are the No. 1 seed in the NFC and are set to take on the No. 7 Green Bay Packers in a divisional playoff game. Last season, the 49ers found themselves competing in the NFC Championship against the Philadelphia Eagles. This year, San Francisco is hopeful they can repeat this scenario, but with a better outcome. The Eagles defeated San Francisco and took a trip to the Super Bowl while the 49ers stayed home. With the Eagles now out of the playoff…
In the year 2024, I would assume it will be different than 2023. Each year brings about new things, positive change, great things and an arrangement of possibilities to come. For me, the year 2023 was a step in the right direction. The year brought about a level of prosperity that I had not achieved before. I was very excited and proud of myself. I was finding myself in places of adversity that made the positive change difficult, but despite that, I was able to become better, still able to strive and meet the goals that I sought out. When…
The Los Angeles Clippers have an All-Star lineup now that they have completed the trade for swingman James Harden. The roster of the Clippers consists of all-time stalwarts like Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and now Harden. Several of these individuals, if not all, could be inducted someday into the Hall of Fame. The marriage between the Clippers and Harden didn’t start too hot as Los Angeles immediately went into a six-game losing streak. But since then, Harden and the Clippers have been rolling along in producing some much-needed victories for the ballclub as well for the fan base.…
History will dictate the longevity of the movement’s impact
Fathers within the culture have a significant place not only in the home but in the community. That goes for the immediate community and the community at large as well. When you think of a father, do you think of fathers from the past, fathers of the present, fathers of your neighbors, fathers that are relatable, fathers whom you admire, fathers with whom you disagree? I mention your neighbors because aren’t we making comparisons? Fathers can be described in many ways. Fathers may or may not be justified in their behavior and their decisions. That goes for a father’s…
Teams are even in talent and parity now rule the league
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar enters his 21st NBA season
SACRAMENTO-With there being a wave of talented point guards arriving in the NBA over these last few years, I think we have forgotten about some of the dominate big men in the game today. Guards have always been a fan favorite and with young players joining the league at this position and actually flourishing, it’s exciting to see. In addition to outstanding guard play there has also been a culture change. European players have joined the league, executing an effective but different style of basketball than we’re accustomed to seeing. Players with an offensive game from the power forward position,…
SACRAMENTO-Early in the season, the Sacramento Kings played as if they had a great offseason. They came out hot from the start. The new established “Big Three” of Rudy Gay, DeMarcus Cousins and Darren Collison seemed to be a great fit. The teams assist/ turnover ratio reflected the way the team shared the rock. Everyone played like they bought into the philosophy of their head coach. However, after an injury to Cousins and the firing of coach Mike Malone, the Kings seemed to have fallen apart. Heading into the NBA All-Star break, the Kings are still looking to find their identity.…

Entering the time of year where college basketball produces more attention than the NBA because of the NCAA Final Four Tournament, fans were in for a show Tuesday night, brought on by two former college teammates. Former University of Kentucky stars John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins played opposite of each other in a head-to-head matchup, both playing outstanding basketball with bright futures. Drafted in the same year-2010-2011 NBA season-John Wall went No.1 to the Washington Wizards and DeMarcus Cousins went number No. 5 to the Sacramento Kings. Cousins is leading his team in points, rebounding, blocks and steals (22.2 points,…
How is it that Michael Vick is in the same conversation as the person who created the infamous butt fumble in Mark Sanchez? There is nothing any one can tell me to justify why Vick has to compete for the starting position as quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. What has Nick Foles done to prove he can snatch the job from the former number one pick overall pick? In Vick’s first full season with the Eagles he led them to the playoffs and then turned around and signed a $100 million dollar contract. You don’t sign a guy that kind…
Changes in Sac town begin a new and bright future for Sacramento Kings fans. New ownership, new management, new coaches and new players are the beginning and the foundation. A new arena being built in the center of Downtown Sacramento is the next step in the promising future for the Kings, which couldn’t have been in a better location. With former first round pick Tyreke Evans being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, it’s clear now that this is DeMarcus Cousins’ team. In the NBA, a dominant big man is hard to find, whether it is because of injuries falling on…
