Manning, Broncos Serious About Super Bowl

Despite earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Denver Broncos were not able to punch their Super Bowl tickets in 2012, and will look to take it a step further this season. Of course, the signing of future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning was the key to last season’s success, as he showed little ill effects of the neck injury that derailed his entire 2011 season. Manning was phenomenal in his first season in the Mile High City, just missing out on his fifth MVP award. He quickly changed the culture and attitude of the Denver offense, helping receivers Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker blossom in the process. Of course, Manning was also lucky to step into a situation with two young, talented receivers at his disposal. The decision to franchise left tackle Ryan Clady this offseason was a no-brainer, as the fifth year pro was set to hit unrestricted free agency. The Boise State product is one of the best left tackles in the league, and his presence is vital to the continued health of Manning. The Broncos could look to add another running back at some point this spring, but the offense is in good shape heading into 2013.

Outdoor NHL Schedule Could Expand Past Winter Classic

Hockey fans hoping to secure Winter Classic tickets may eventually have more opportunities to experience outdoor NHL games. While the 2014 Winter Classic is still slated for January 1 between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, the league is discussing plans to expand its outdoor schedule in the coming years. Though no decision has been made, additional locations have already been floated around. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts has been mentioned as another likely spot for a future outdoor game. Though the Boston Bruins have already hosted a Winter Classic Game, in 2010, the matchup at Fenway Park was very successful, and Boston continues to be one of the best hockey markets in the U.S. The question is, should the league host more than one outdoor hockey game every year?

Last All-Star Game for Celtics’ Garnett

Kevin Garnett has added a bit of intrigue to this weekend, not only to fans with NBA All Star tickets, but to basketball fans across the globe, as he claims this will be his final All-Star Game. While the 14-time All-Star is probably not going to hang up his sneakers at the end of the season, he has vowed that the game in Houston will be his final All-Star appearance. Garnett has been a staple of the both the All-Star Game and the league since being drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995, coming to the Boston Celtics in a trade in 2007. One of the greatest and most competitive players in league history, he won the MVP award in 2004 with the Timberwolves, and helped the Celtics win the NBA Championship in 2008. Garnett has slowed down to a degree in recent seasons, but he has remained remarkably effective despite reaching the 1,300 game plateau earlier in the season. He seemed to find new life last year after switching to center full-time, allowing him to avoid chasing younger power forwards around the perimeter on a more consistent basis.
