Moves Made in the NBA Offseason

The NBA looks like it could feature a dramatically altered landscape in the upcoming season, as many teams have taken steps either forward or backward. While anything can happen in sports, there are a handful of players whose moves could drastically change the way next year’s standings look. Here are some of the biggest moves that have taken place so far in this NBA offseason.

Get Houston Dynamo Tickets To Watch Your Favorite Team Play

The Houston Dynamo team has become a household name in the region and beyond due to their achievements. This team won a championship in their first season in the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the year 2006. They followed this feat with another MLS cup in 2007. This has made the Houston Dynamo one of the most dangerous teams in this league. With a couple of HoustonDynamo tickets, you and your friends or family can have the chance to see this team play.

Plan Ahead For Houston Rodeo Tickets

Rodeo Houston is the world's largest livestock and live entertainment exhibition. Since the 1930s, it has evolved to become a massive must-attend event. More than 2 ½ million people took part in 2013, and the numbers keep growing. If you are planning to attend this extravaganza, you will need to get your Houston Rodeo tickets early.   

East Regional Favorites Roll into Sweet 16

While the rest of the NCAA Tournament descended into varied states of chaos, the East was a picture of order and stability, and fans with East Regional tickets can look forward to seeing each of the top four seeds this weekend in the nation’s capital.  Indiana, Miami, Marquette and Syracuse took very different paths to reach the Sweet 16, but they all managed to navigate the madness that is the first weekend of the Big Dance. Indiana had few problems taking care of James Madison in their first game, but needed a strong second half to pull away from Temple. Miami crushed University of the Pacific before outlasting Illinois. No team has lived on the edge in the NCAA Tournament more than Marquette, who beat Davidson 59-58 in the first round before squeaking past Butler, 74-72. Meanwhile, Syracuse annihilated Montana 81-34, then coasted in the second half for a six-point victory over Cal.

Dodgers Must Proceed Cautiously with Greinke

Fans with Dodgers tickets received a little bit of a scare last week, as pitcher Zack Greinke was flown home to Los Angeles to have his elbow examined. Greinke, who signed a six-year, $147 million deal in the offseason, was diagnosed with inflammation in the back of his elbow, and received an injection of platelet-enriched plasma, as well as anti-inflammatory medication. While Greinke has since pitched bullpen sessions and experienced no pain, it appears as if his timetable to start the season has been pushed back, and is no longer slated to start the Dodgers second game of the season on April 2.

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?
