On Geno Smith and Becoming (Or Not) a Successful NFL Quarterback
There’s really no way of telling if someone is going to be great in the NFL, especially not with quarterbacks. Geno Smith was on an amazing run for the first half of his final season with West Virginia, looking like the best in the nation at his position.

LeBron James is Much More Dominant Than You Think
If leading the Miami Heat on a 23 game winning streak while looking like the favorites to repeat as NBA champions this season isn’t enough, maybe the fact that LeBron James might win his fourth MVP award in five years will do it for you.

There’s nothing that’s going to stop the Milwaukee Bucks from reaching the postseason for the first time in four years, and despite all the criticism both Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis take for being a bit too selfish for most people’s taste, it’s probably a good thing that we’ll get to see a little bit more from one of the better backcourt duos in the NBA.
