November is a time of Thanksgiving, not simply for food and crops, but for the plethora of sports to watch. It is the beginning of the NBA season, which has plenty of new rookies and storylines to be excited about. The NFL is in full swing and certain teams are beginning to emerge as legitimate playoff contenders, while others fall from grace. Each weekend college football teams are trying to prove that they belong in bowl games. With so much going on, it is sometimes hard to keep all the storylines together. So here is your cheat sheet for the water cooler that will give you some insight into each sport.
The beginning of the NBA has many things to pay attention to, but I look forward most to seeing which rookies will have the greatest impact. The first rookie to watch this year is Michael Beasley, the best scorer from the 2008 draft class, who plays for the Miami Heat. It will be interesting to watch how he plays with Dwayne Wade and Shawn Marion and to see if they can come together to turn a struggling Miami franchise around. Also, keep an eye on Derrick Rose. He was taken first in the draft in hopes that he could turn into a player similar to Deron Williams or Chris Paul with time.
About halfway through the NFL season, the Giants, Redskins, and the Panthers seem to be taking control of the AFC, while the Titans, Steelers, Bills, and Patriots are taking control of the AFC. The Cowboys, Colts, and Broncos all are struggling lately, despite many people picking these teams to dominate. Now, the Cowboys and Broncos absolutely can still make the play-offs, but time is running out for the Colts. We will see if Peyton Manning can rally his team in the coming weeks.
College football is near impossible to predict, but the BCS picture is becoming more clear. Texas Tech upset Texas, and is now looking to prove they belong in the BCS Championship, in addition to Penn State and Alabama. Utah and TCU play each other this week, a showdown between two potential BCS busters. Boise State is another team looking to bust the BCS, but they would need Utah to lose a game for that to become possible.
