Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Pulls Off a Magical Finish
Despite trailing with only 14 seconds left on the clock; despite Ty Lawson not playing and in general being outplayed for almost the entire game, the Denver Nuggets pulled off another win and kept their secretive winning streak alive (now at 14 games), mostly thanks to a clutch performance from Corey Brewer, rescuing his team with some impressive off-the-bench scoring

Miami Heat – LeBron James Enjoying the Arrogant Role
A couple of years ago he was a villain. Last season he was the guy winning his way back into recognition, shedding off all criticisms and hatred towards him. This season? He seems to be having fun, and his dunk over Jason Terry as the Miami Heat took another step towards Eastern domination during a win over the Boston Celtics showed an arrogant side, which kind of suits his ongoing transformation.

Louisville, Syracuse, Michigan, VCU & Arizona Make it Look Easy; Marquette & Gonzaga Not so Much
In a first night of NCAA tournament basketball, we had one real clear upset, but quite a few games that went down to the wire that probably shouldn’t have, including Gonzaga being pushed by Southern and Marquette barely getting by Davidson, thanks to a last-second layup by Vander Blue. On the other side of the equation, teams like Louisville, Syracuse, Michigan, VCU and Arizona, big favorites to begin with, didn’t really have any trouble with their opponents.

NFL Rumors – Minnesota Vikings Might Sign Brian Urlacher
There aren’t that many teams around the NFL with a need for a middle linebacker who only knows how to play the 4-3, so it seems Brian Urlacher isn’t going to have an easy time finding a new team after 13 years with the Chicago Bears. The likeliest of options? The Minnesota Vikings.

NCAA Tournament Upsets in Second Round
Four upsets, meaning lower seeds being higher ranked teams, occurred on the opening day of the real NCAA tournament, as Harvard pulled off the biggest one with a win over New Mexico, followed by California upsetting UNLV, Wichita State destroying rather easily the Pittsburgh Panthers while Oregon beating Oklahoma State was a shocker considering the seeding, but most people weren’t that surprised.

Rule Changes in the 2013 NFL Season
As always, the most interesting part of the annual owners meeting is the rules that are voted for, this time six being presented and all of them passing. The two that stand out the most is the abolishment of the infamous Tuck Rule that saved Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the playoffs against the Raiders 12 years ago, and the controversial crown helmet leading rule, making life a little bit harder for running backs in the NFL.

Nate Robinson Dunk the Only Good Thing About the Chicago Bulls
After a season of playing sorta anti-basketball offensively, it looks like the Chicago Bulls have run out of hustle and effort to keep their heads above water, resulting in another home loss to a Western Conference team, while the only good think to take from the game was a sensational dunk from Nate Robinson, who impresses every time he decides to show that incredible leap and dunking ability he has.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Hulk Wants to Leave Zenit for Chelsea
Sometimes a rumor is about connecting certain dots, and even though something isn’t said clearly, it’s not too hard to understand. Hulk was ready to leave Porto for the Premier League and Chelsea, but too much money was asked from the European Champions, so Zenit swooped in and purchased the Brazilian, who apparently isn’t too happy with life in the Russian league.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Chelsea Interested in Fraser Forster From Celtic
Even though Petr Cech is only 30, it feels like he’s much older, and his dropping form in the last couple of years suggests that he isn’t exactly playing according to his age. While Chelsea aren’t planning to ditch their goalkeeper of almost a decade, they’re certainly looking at younger options, with Fraser Forster of Celtic an option to become his backup, and possibly heir, depending on other developments.
