NBA All-Star Game Outcome Doesn’t Change
The West don’t always have the better starting lineup, but they usually have the much deeper team (and conference), which explains why they’ve beaten the East three times in a row in the NBA All-Star game, as Chris Paul dominated the start and finish, beating the too serious Kevin Durant for the MVP award, while LeBron James seemed to be trying a bit too hard to make this one mean something.

5 NFL Players Teams Should Use the Franchise Tag On
Deciding on using the franchise tag isn’t always a question of ability; it’s often about economics, or simply avoiding making a decision if possible.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Has to Play Next to Daniel Sturridge
If recent weeks haven’t proven it already, the 5-0 demolition of Swansea showed Brendan Rodgers what everybody knows – Liverpool have to play with two forwards, strikers more likely, in the lineup. Fabio Borini is once again injured, so as it should be, it’s pretty much up to Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

Chelsea FC – Juan Mata Makes All the Difference
For about 55 minutes, Juan Mata was denied space and freedom, and Chelsea looked like a team that might lose to a league one side in the FA Cup replay. But then he scored, and floodgates opened for Chelsea, and Mata helped Frank Lampard look better than he really is, and gave Rafa Benitez a few more days of relaxation.

Real Madrid – Morata & Sergio Ramos Steal Show From Cristiano Ronaldo
With the league being the least important competition at the moment for Real Madrid, it was no surprise to see Morata and Kaka in the starting lineup. A match that could have gone in a very different direction after Sergio Ramos got sent off, but eventually didn’t need anyone to step up, not even Cristiano Ronaldo, to pick up a meaningless win.
