Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester United Closer to Victor Wanyama
Goals against Barcelona certainly hike up the interest. If Victor Wanyama was only appreciated from afar by Manchester United (and other clubs), his performance in the Champions League has earned the Celtic midfielder a much closer look and possible transfer deal that might be coming soon.

Los Angeles Lakers – Mike Brown Firing Only a Question of Time
It’s amazing who an organization can send out all kinds of signals before doing the exact opposite. I guess that eventually, the look that Kobe Bryant gave Mike Brown on the bench during the loss to the Utah Jazz did mean what it looked like. Just a season and a bit at the job, only 71 regular season games, and Mike Brown is no longer the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jamal Crawford Makes The Los Angeles Clippers Contenders
Yes, you read the title correctly. The Los Angeles Clippers, with a 4-2 record through the first week and a bit of the 2012-2013 NBA Season are contenders to win the West.

Now, 9-1, with one of the best defenses in the country and looking well on their way for the first ACC title for the program since 2005, matching your secondary goals isn’t that bad.

Indianapolis Colts – Andrew Luck Better Than Anyone Thought
There were supposed to be growing pains. Well, there are, but they’re diminished and hidden behind everything good about Andrew Luck, leading the Indianapolis Colts to a shocking 6-3 record while effortlessly stepping inside the shoes of a legendary quarterback, making everyone forget this was the worst franchise in the NFL last season.

Messi vs Ronaldo – Image More Important Than Skill
You’ll never convince Cristiano Ronaldo that Lionel Messi is greater than him, rightfully so. To be the best you have to believe you’re the best, no matter the facts and numbers and the overall perception of most people on the planet who watch football. The Real Madrid star, tired of losing in the Ballon d’Or every year, is doing everything he can to win votes.

Liverpool FC – Getting Edinson Cavani to Play With Luis Suarez
If Liverpool want to be great again, they have to think big. Not about young striker who might do well next to Luis Suarez or anything of the sort. Thinking big means bringing a proven striker, and no one would be a better partner to than his Uruguay partner and one of the best strikers in the world, Edinson Cavani.
