10 Highest Paid Football Managers
The man who speaks and complains more than any other manager in the world also gets paid better than the rest of ’em. Jose Mourinho leads a pack that included Roberto Mancini, Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti as the highest paid football managers in the world, although his time with Real Madrid isn’t the best and most solid he’s ever had.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Has Nothing to Smile About
Even when he scored 40 points, Kobe Bryant isn’t happy. He can’t be when the Los Angeles Lakers lose, and his triple double has 10 turnovers on it. The Lakers under Mike D’Antoni continue to search for consistency and ways to bring more players to contribute besides Bryant.

Indiana Pacers – Winning Through George Hill & Ugly Basketball
There’s very few pretty things about the Indiana Pacers this season. Still, after a rough start, which included losing six of their first nine games, they are finding ways to win and put the season back on track. How? Great defense, possibly the best in the NBA right now, and someone like George Hill hitting a huge buzzer beating layup for a rare road win.

Houston Rockets – James Harden is the Complete Package
Perfect player? Nope. James Harden still has quite a few flaws in his game and consistency before we can talk about perfection. Still, 14 games into the 2012-2013 NBA Season, the Houston Rockets couldn’t have asked for a better player and trade to fall into their lap than the shooting guard that simply wanted to feel a bit more appreciated.

Indiana Hoosiers – Cody Zeller Shows What a Number One Is
This is what Number one teams should look like on big nights; this is what prime time players, which Cody Zeller is obviously is, should be like on a big game. The biggest game in the ACC – Big Ten challenge wasn’t even close, but it taught us as to how good the Indiana Hoosiers are.

Who is the best boxer in the world, the pound for pound number one fighter? The popular choice for quite some time has been Floyd Mayweather, sometimes Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao – Here We Go Again
Getting tired of it? Not completely. So what if Floyd Mayweather is mostly busy trading insults with his former best friend and business partner 50 Cent. So what if Manny Pacquiao has a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez coming up. It’s always great for both these men, especially when promoting a bout, to throw the Mayweather – Pacquiao card in the air.

LSU Tigers – Les Miles Isn’t Going Anywhere
When the LSU fans look back at the 2012 season, how will they remember it? After all, there was nothing dramatic about it. Les Miles finished pretty much with the record he was expected to, 10-2 (before the Bowl game, not a BCS one), leading to quite a tempting offer from Arkansas Miles will turn down.

BCS Bowls – All About the Money
College Football and bowl season are about one thing: Making money. That is why there hasn’t been a playoff and why the one installed is a limited, disappointing ones. Teams from the AQ conferences: The SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12 Pac-12 and still the Big East don’t want to give up on the nearly $200 million that will be paid out by the BCS to the conferences represented in the five BCS bowls.

Chelsea FC – Failed in Ruining the Career of Mark Clattenburg
No apology, just an admission that they were wrong. Mark Clattenburg has been cleared of all racist charges, and is free to move on with his refereeing career in the Premier League and the international stage. Chelsea? No apology for almost ruining the career and life of a man based on sketchy evidence. Not like they really had a choice.
