New England Patriots – Tom Brady Makes Them Super Bowl Favorites
In a season which has had more than its share of “best teams in the NFL” or the “momentary Super Bowl favorites”, it’s weird to think that we’ve reached week 14, and only now is the name of the New England Patriots mentioned, after another sublime, MVP-like prime time performance from Tom Brady.

Real Madrid – Where Will Jose Mourinho Go
If you read Spanish newspapers, it seems that the departure of Jose Mourinho from his position as the head coach of Real Madrid is a done deal, whether or not he finishes this season with a Champions League trophy (La Décima, the 10th) or not.

Los Angeles Lakers – Players Beginning to Quit on This Team
So we’re a quarter of the season into the 2012-2013 NBA season, and the team that made the most noise during the off season still can’t pick up off from mediocrity, let alone simply being bad. They’re 9-12, still without Steve Nash.

Oklahoma City Thunder – More Than Just Kevin Durant
The first thing you notice about the Oklahoma City Thunder? Kevin Durant, obviously. The second thing? Russell Westbrook becoming more and more responsible. The thing you don’t always notice? That the Thunder are one of the league’s best teams when it comes to forcing bad shots, bringing them more wins and making life easier than most would think.

New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Loves Playing at Home
The return of Carmelo Anthony after missing two straight games went swimmingly. Two games out of action, Anthony didn’t miss a beat. The New York Knicks are still perfect at home, Anthony is still very much in the MVP discussions, and his team look like as good as any in the Eastern Conference.
