A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Every Thursday from here on out, I will highlight a moment from the past in WWE that was memorable, and one that deserves to be talked about in the present. It is Throwback Thursday. Get excited. This week’s inaugural edition, focuses on an event that did not happen too long ago. October 8, 2012 was [...]
The Chicago Bulls surprised everyone but themselves Monday night. They went into Miami, a place where the Heat had only lost four times this season and took a crucial Game 1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 93-86 win.
I had it all planned out. “Miami’s Streak Ends in Cleveland.” “Cavs Step Up to End the Streak of Former-Hero-Turned-Enemy.” Any similar headline would have done the job, as long as the words let it be known that the Cavs had ended the streak of the mighty Heat in Cleveland. Instead, the 23-game win streak turned into 24.
There is an entire planet full of zombies, but all that matters right now in The Walking Dead is the battle between Woodbury and the prison. Both sides are preparing for war that will surely occur at season’s end.
Finally, there is action once again within the Walking Dead universe. After a slight fear that there may be a drop-off in excitement as there was in Season 2, The Governor showed up at the prison to let fans of the show know that the rest of the season will be action-packed.
The Walking Dead returned after a brief midseason break on Sunday right where the last episode left off. Daryl and Merle were pitted against each other in Woodbury, but it was clear that they would find a way to escape.
Super Bowl 47 is upon us as the AFC Champion Baltimore Ravens prepare to take on the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers on February 3, 2013. Who do you think will win?
This year’s AFC Championship is a rematch of the one played last year in which the Patriots were victorious.
The top two seeds in the NFC meet up in this year’s championship game. The 49ers find themselves in the NFC Championship game for the second year in a row, this time with Colin Kaepernick as their quarterback. They will take on the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons who barely made it to this game.
The Patriots grabbed the second spot in the AFC after winning their final two games and nine of their last ten altogether. They have already beaten the Texans once this season, which was the game that started the Texans’ slide to third in the AFC.
The Atlanta Falcons come into this game as the top seed in the NFC. But that may not be enough to peg them as favorites one day after the Broncos, who were the top seed in the AFC, lost to Baltimore. And with the Broncos’ loss, Seattle is now the hottest team in the NFL.
Andrew Luck in his first playoff game and Ray Lewis in what could be his final game take on the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC Wild Card in the NFL playoffs.
Two of the hottest teams in the NFC and in all of the NFL will meet up in the final game of the wild card playoffs. The Seahawks, who are riding a five-game winning streak, head to Washington to take on the Redskins, who have won their last seven games.
This year’s NFL playoffs begin the same way they did last season, with the Bengals heading to Houston to take on the Texans. Both teams are the same seed that they were last year … which is not something the Texans are proud of.
Based on their season resumes, it looked like Louisville would be no match for the third-ranked Florida Gators. The game certainly did not unfold that way.
