"I don't care if New England doesn't lose again," Knighton told the Post. "I don't care where we have to play. I don't care who our opponent is. We're not going to be satisfied until we hoist that trophy. So if we've got to go to New England and win somewhere we're not used to winning, we're going to make it happen." Knighton has a reason to be confident, as the Broncos can obviously win even when quarterback Peyton Manning isn't at his best. Manning was dealing with a stomach flu, according to ESPN. He still tossed for 233 yards and led the Broncos to their third division title in his three years with the team. Read More »
The NFL has been without a Los Angeles team since 1994, when the Raiders and Rams moved to Oakland and St. Louis. And it seems like rumors of a team returning to the City of Angels have existed ever since those squads left. For now, the city is still left waiting and wishing. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told "The New York Times" that a move to Los Angeles is still unlikely to happen all the way in the future of 2015. Meaning fans in SoCal will have to wait at least another year. "I'm not at the point where I would tell you that anything is imminent or that we have a solution identified at this point in time," Goodell told the Times. "There is progress, but we've all heard that before." The most likely teams to move to L.A. one day are the San Diego Chargers, Raiders or Rams, according to "Sports Illustrated." That's because all three can wiggle out of stadium leases next year, giving them flexibility to uproot. Real estate mogul Stan Kroenke, who owns the Rams, owns property in Los Angeles large enough for a stadium to be built. The Rams are also peeved about not being able to agree with their lender for plans to renovate the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, according to "Sports Illustrated." Read More »
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant needed just nine points Sunday, Dec. 14, to etch his name above Michael Jordan's on the NBA all-time scoring list. It took him less than two quarters. Bryant tied and then passed Jordan with two free throws with 5:24 left before halftime while the Lakers were taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minnesota. Pro-Timberwolves and pro-Jordan fans jeered from the crowd as Bryant warmed up on the line. Some people just don't like to see history surpassed, and all the Bryant vs. Jordan debate that raged this week couldn't have sat well with the purists. But the Timberwolves themselves were more gracious hosts, stopping the game to congratulate Bryant individually after his record-setting free throws. Bryant now sits behind only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and Karl Malone (36,928) on the all-time list. Read More »
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers won the NFL MVP in 2011 and was on a short list to win the award again this season. But he stunk Sunday, Dec. 14. Stunk — and the Packers dropped a head-turner of an upset to the Buffalo Bills 21-13. How bad was Rodgers? For the first time in his career, Rodgers didn't throw a touchdown and had two interceptions in a regular season game, according to the broadcast. Rodgers hadn't had a zero touchdown/two interception game since the 2010 NFC Championship, although Rodgers did run for a touchdown in that game. Another difference: The Packers won. They lost Sunday for just the fourth time this season and first since Oct. 26 against the New Orleans Saints. That was also the last time Rodgers had been intercepted. The Packers clearly go where Rodgers takes them. There have only been four times that the All-Pro has failed to reach 200 passing yards in a game, and Green Bay has lost three of those games, according to ESPN. Read More »

The Chicago White Sox haven't made the playoffs since 2008. In that time, the American League Central Division has been mostly dominated by the Detroit Tigers, who built a divisional empire on the backs of Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. A few months ago, the White Sox had two sellable assets: dynamic ace Chris Sale and AL Rookie of the Year Jose Abreau. Now, as Christmas approaches, they may be the Majors's most improved team. The White Sox continued their offseason assault this weekend by signing Melky Cabrera to a three-year deal worth $42 million, according to ESPN. The signing enhances one of last year's least-productive outfields and adds to a long list of quality players added since the World Series ended. In November, Chicago added power-hitting first baseman Adam LaRoche — who will probably DH — in a low-key, two-year deal. They them made a splash by snatching former New York Yankees closer David Robertson to a four-year, $46-million contract. The White Sox then traded for coveted Oakland Athletics starter and notorious mustache enthusiast Jeff Samardzija, giving Chicago a legitimate No. 2 starter behind Sale. The team also acquired reliever Zach Duke to help the bullpen and now has added to its outfield. Cabrera was an All-Star in 2012, the same year he was suspended for elevated testosterone levels.
