Maybe the Lakers Should Trade… Kobe Bryant?

Kobe Bryant is the best player on the Los Angeles Lakers, the best player in the NBA on some nights. But life in LA, the Lakers future, might be better without him. As hard it is to trade someone with a no-trade clause, maybe the deal the team should be looking for is trading #24?

Benfica vs Porto – The Game That Sent The Title North?

Hulk opened the scoring, Oscar Cardozo’s brace gave Benfica the lead in the second half, but a red card and Porto’s superior side eventually got the two goals that might bring them the title for a sixth time in seven seasons, winning the O Classico 3-2 in dramatic fashion, taking sole lead of the Primeira Liga in Portugal.

Mayweather vs Pacquaio – No PPV Split Right Decision For Floyd

Floyd Mayweather talking about money and wanting to split PPV revenues with Manny Pacquiao, or any other opponent for that matter, doesn’t win him anymore affection or fans from the public, but Mayweather’s about his legacy, and his bank account, not really caring about anyone but himself, and that’s just fine.

Sticking With Tony Romo is Right Choice for Cowboys

Tony Romo isn’t getting an extension yet, beyond 2013, but the Dallas Cowboys won’t be looking for a quarterback in this draft. Jerry Jones still believes Romo is the right guy behind Center to take his team into the Super Bowl, although a disappointing 2012 season might change his mind, swaying it towards other directions.

An Ordinary MVP Like Portland Night for LeBron James

LeBron James finished with 38 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and five steals while not turning the ball over once, combining with Dwyane Wade for 71 points and leading the Miami Heat to a 107-93 win, their ninth in a row, all double digit wins, while on the way proving again he’s the best in the NBA right now and worthy of another MVP award.

Liverpool & Steven Gerrard Will Benefit Without England Duty

Steven Gerrard didn’t get the captain’s armband in the friendly against the Netherlands, while Scott Parker did. Right, wrong? It doesn’t really matter. Because a captain isn’t such an important title as it once was, and because both Steven Gerrard and Liverpool will benefit from a lessened role with the national team.

On Bobby Valentine and an Early Ignition to Yankees – Red Sox Rivalry

Bobby Valentine taking shots at Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter sparked some life into a quiet period, maybe even quieter than usual, of Baseball spring training. Nothing wrong with spreading a little hate between the two biggest rivals, and MLB’s most important rivalry.
