Neymar Isn’t For Sale, Manchester City Don’t Care
How many times have we heard this story? Every big club in Europe wants to get its hands on Neymar, but Santos aren’t willing to sell their biggest star until after the World Cup in 2014.

Manchester United – Sucking up to Cristiano Ronaldo

BYU Cougars – One Man Wrecking Crew of Kyle Van Noy
No one expected to see too many points on the scoreboard of the Poinsettia Bowl between BYU and San Diego State, but the best thing about these two teams is the Cougars defense. That defense, one of the best in the nation during 2012, spearheaded by linebacker Kyle Van Noy, won them a fourth consecutive Bowl game.

Cristiano Ronaldo With Another Chance to Prove Greatness
Forget about the who is better argument, Cristiano Ronaldo or he who should not be named. Great players usually have something to prove every time they step on the pitch. That’s how they motivate themselves to reach even higher. For Cristiano Ronaldo, getting to visit Old Trafford and Manchester United in Real Madrid uniform is a perfect opportunity.
