Philadelphia Eagles – Nick Foles Taking Over For Michael Vick
There hasn’t been too much of playing time for Nick Foles this season, but the longer Michael Vick sits out with his injury and the better Foles fills his role for the Philadelphia Eagles, a passing of the torch between the quarterbacks is more and more likely.

NFL Rumors – Arizona Cardinals Will Bench Carson Palmer
The Arizona Cardinals (3-3 so far this season) can’t afford to keep letting Carson Palmer play this badly, but there’s more than just quarterback issues to their inferiority against the best teams in the NFC West, beginning with the offensive line, that has been playing very poorly for the last couple of years.

Stefan Kiessling Scores a Goal That Doesn’t Exist (Hoffenheim vs Leverkusen)
Felix Brych might be demoted to a regional German league or never referee a match again after his horror show in the 2-1 Leverkusen win over Hoffenheim, which included allowing a Stefan Kiessling goal that didn’t even hit the target, disallowing a completely valid Hoffenheim goal and then giving the home side a penalty kick that shouldn’t have been awarded, although it was missed.

Miralem Pjanic With a Beautiful Free Kick (Roma vs Napoli)
The AS Roma train isn’t stopping for anyone, and even the early injury of Francesco Totti didn’t spoil the party, as Miralem Pjanic stepped in perfectly in the role of the set piece takes, scoring a beautiful free kick just before half time and converted another penalty kick in a 2-0 win over Napoli, keeping the league leaders perfect so far this season.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Will Finally Become an All Star
Just because you don’t make the All-Star game, doesn’t mean you’re not one by ability and production. Jeremy Lin isn’t one of the best two or three point guards in the Western Conference, but his growth and improvement this summer, along with what the Houston Rockets are trying to do, should be enough to put him on the right path, at the right pace, en route to showing on a nightly basis that he deserves to be mentioned among the best of his position in the league.

The Best Example of How Easy it Was for Michael Jordan
Numbers don’t do him justice, and comparisons are always subjective. You had to see Michael Jordan live, or at least during the time of his dominance, to understand just how great he really was, and how easy it was for him to score 40 or something points, regardless of who he was up against.

Kevin Garnett is Acting Like a Grumpy Old Man
Never a big fan of LeBron James, and actually someone that stood in his way quite a few times, Kevin Garnett is finding it very difficult to to be judged by those he loved criticizing, mocking and terrorizing on the court. Garnett left the Boston Celtics, just like Ray Allen did in the past, and so did LeBron James during his decision fiasco.

Miami Hurricanes – Dallas Crawford Takes Over for Stephen Morris
Losing playmakers left and right, Stephen Morris didn’t really handle the pressure and the situation very well. However, Miami were lucky enough to have Dallas Crawford step up and assume a completely different role from what he usually does, keeping the Hurricanes perfect, although possibly not convincing enough as a team to remain in the top 10.

Seattle Seahawks – Russell Wilson Is Good Again
The Seattle Seahawks are back to the old formula, which means more than just defense and relying on Marshawn Lynch to carry Russell Wilson. Both aspects of their game are still there, but their quarterback is finding his groove again, once again looking like the best and most important player out there for them.
