Well we have our Super Bowl contestants. Peyton out-duels Brady. Richard Sherman went from hero to mentally unstable person over the course of five minutes. Michigan got their first win at Wisconsin in 13 years, the Red Wings are scrapping, and the “Tank 2014” Campaign in the NBA continues. Where August, September, and October rule the sporting world, February & March are pretty slow. We’ll have the Super Bowl, but other than that, it’s wait for opening day of baseball. Nontheless, the show must go on! Here’s the upcoming week everybody!
