Non-Quarterbacks Who Won the NFL MVP
So, does Adrian Peterson deserve the MVP for the 2012 season? Probably, but deserve doesn’t cut it in the NFL. The question is will he get it?

Miami Heat – Can’t be a Two Man Team
While LeBron James keeps getting another player to join him in his impressive effort every night, the rest of the Miami Heat team fail to chip in what they’re supposed to. One time it’s Chris Bosh, the other it’s Dwyane Wade. Regardless of who it is, it simply isn’t enough.

Lionel Messi – The 91 Goals Infographic
This will be the last time we mention Lionel Messi scoring 91 goals until he wins the Ballon d’Or, which will leave most of us flabbergasted if it doesn’t happen.

It’s hard to talk about new guard and old guard when it comes to goalkeepers, because of the relatively late age they both breakout in and continue on playing to. Still, the world’s best goalkeepers list is slowly changing: Gianluigi Buffon and Iker Casillas are still with us, entertaining the younger talents of Samir Handanovic, Joe Hart and the fantastic Hugo Lloris and probably above the rest, Manuel Neuer.

Biggest Wins in Premier League History
While 8-0 is an impressive result, it’s not something that we haven’t seen before in the Premier League. Not even from Chelsea, who do come up with these big wins in recent years, and have also thrashed Aston Villa in a similar scoreline once or twice.

Champions League – Ranking the Knockout Stage Matches
Some matches are better than others, and it’s no different among the 8 clashes in the Champions League knockout stage.
