The 2012 season has been once more, exciting. This year, in 2012, we
have seen some amazing comebacks from some of our fan favorites
resurrected from the ashes like a Phoenix to be playing at top notch
level once again. Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts,
after a 14 year career, and signed with the Denver Broncos, after
shopping himself around to numerous teams.
Many were hesitant of
his decision to play in Mile High, after 15 games and a 12-3 record,
guess Peyton was right... again. And he has them on the edge of grabbing
possible home field advantage in the playoffs.
Adrian Peterson
came back after only 11 months since ripping his MCL and his ACL, no
body ever expected the dominant running back to bounce back and be the
runner he once was. They were right; he worked harder than ever, and
apparently has come back even better, with 1898 YDs, a ridiculous
6.0/YPC average and 11 TDs, and is instantaneously in the MVP
discussion, without question.
Calvin Johnson, the WR for the Lions
broke a 17 year record held by the one and only Jerry Rice, with 1892
YDs receiving this season. After 15 games, so far, looking to crack
2000, something that was never done in NFL history. All while grabbing
117 catches, and a tremendous 16.2 / YPC avg.
The rookie class of
2012 of QBs has come on strong, strong. With Andrew Luck being picked
number 1 for the Colts, and leading them to a playoff spot, only months
after finishing the season with only 2 measly wins is unbelievable.
RG3,
the charismatic QB for the Washington Redskins, has blown people away
with his passing skills (67% completion, 20 TDs/ 5 Ints) and his running
ability (752 YDs/ 6 TDs), then of course, there is the appealing story
of Russell Wilson, the diminutive QB, who was stolen in the 3rd round,
and is having a great season as well, throwing for 25 TDs (9th in the
NFL) and leading the Seahawks to 10-5 record and looking to lead them
deep into the playoffs.
The NHL is taking their turn going on
strike this season, delaying the fans to enjoy watching Evgeni Malkin,
Steven Stamkos, Cory Schneider, and Claude Giroux, get on the ice.
Nothing seems to be on the doorstep of any hope of getting cleared
anytime soon. After Los Angeles defeated New Jersey, 4-2, we may never
know, if they can defend their Cup.
