Olympics
It seemed that all the dream team talk of the 2012 Mens US basketball were artificial, That is until the 83 point pounding of Nigeria two nights ago. The 1992 Dream Team's largest blowout in the olympics was a 68 point blowout handed to Angola. The feat the present team has accomplished is nothing short of remarkable, and wowed the likes of Earving "Magic" Johnson, when he communicated to the team via phone in order to congragulate the players. It was quite exciting to watch the expectations of the team fulfilled, and the USA would love another gold medal to be brought home, so good luck to them!
NFL
As the colts enter training camp, The team is highly reinvented due to the loss of Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, but also because of managerial changes. The team and owner (Jim Irsay) agree that the Colt's rookie quarterback, Andrew Luck, brings a whole new energy to the team. It is easy to say that it will be very interesting to watch the Colts play this season.
