If you follow sports at all, which, if you are reading this I assume you do, then you know this week is the only week where the MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL are all in either regular season or post-season play. This means when I turn on ESPN, I am completely overwhelmed with the amount and variety of sports that are taking over the screen. I am here to try to help you navigate through this hectic week of sports madness. Here we go.
First, the MLB wrapped up the 2013 World Series this week. After a crazy six game series, the Red Sox were crowned World Champions. The Red Sox beat the Cardinals 6-1 on Wednesday night in Boston.
NFL teams are heading into their ninth week of the regular season. One undefeated team remains, the Chiefs. Sadly, there are two teams who have still not earned their first W, the Jaguars and the Buccaneers. These are professional football players and they cannot pull it together within the first nine weeks to at least get one win. It is pathetic.
I am going to be honest with you; I do not follow the NBA as much as I should. With this season freshly underway, it is difficult to predict who will be the champions this year, but we can try. The Heat are again on the list of favorites to be crowned champs. Then we have other teams such as the Pacers, Bulls, Nets and Knicks who will all hopefully be giving the Heat a run for their money.
When it comes to hockey, I am hooked. It does not take much for me to get into a game because of the fast-paced attack, non-stop action and fights going on. The 2013-2014 season has begun and teams are starting to make a name for themselves. Sitting at the top of the standings right now are the San Jose Sharks. They have accumulated 21 points over 10 victories thus far. If you do not know hockey, points are what it all comes down to in the end. It is still too early in the season to have a debate on who will be the next Stanley Cup Champions, but it is sure to be one thrilling hockey season.
This week was a time when a World Series champion was crowned, an NFL team remained unbeaten, the NBA tipped off and hockey came back into our lives.
