Premier League – Week 1 Results & Table
Not too many goals, but plenty of interesting results, led by Swansea upsetting Manchester United at the Old Trafford to open the Premier League season, while Arsenal enjoyed a 90th minute goal from Aaron Ramsey to come away with a opening weekend win.

Match Highlights – Manchester United vs Swansea
Not the start Louis van Gaal and Manchester United were hoping for in the 2014-2015 season, losing at Old Trafford to Swansea for the first time in the Premier League. An early goal from Ki-Sung Yeung showed it was going to be a tough day for the hosts, but Wayne Rooney scoring an equalizer brought the hope level back up. Gylfi Sigurdsson, making his return with the Welsh club, ended those hopes of three points on the opening weekend.

Rays Over Yankees – One is Rising, the Other Crashing & Burning
Things keep devolving and deteriorating for the New York Yankees, losing 5-0 to the Tampa Bay Rays, who got a fantastic pitching performance from Alex Cobb but more importantly are at .500 for the first time since April, managing to come back from 18 games under in the same season, something that only three other teams have done.

Patriots Over Eagles – More Than Just a Preseason Game
If the New England Patriots needed any motivation for their second preseason game, it might have come from the words of Cary Williams, who retracted his ‘cheaters’ statement after the Philadelphia Eagles lost 42-35, as Tom Brady appeared for the first time heading into the new NFL season, looking sharp and accurate most of the time, just like Nick Foles.

2014-2015 Premier League Season Predictions: Chelsea, Manchester City or Someone Else
The 2014-2015 Premier League season is about to begin, and at the moment, it seems like one team from last year’s title challenge is dropping out of the wuthering heights (Liverpool) at the expense of a familiar contender (Manchester United), while Chelsea and Manchester City, just like a year ago, seem like early favorites to finish on top. Arsenal? We still can’t take them completely seriously.
