We Have Hockey 2013!
After three long, contentious months of a ridiculous, unnecessary work stoppage “NHL” no longer stands for “Not Hockey, Lockout.” Hockey’s back! Finally! Who’s to blame for Lockout 2.0 (the owners) is irrevelant. So is the fact that it should’ve been over months ago

Top 12 Sports Games of 2012
I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of 2012 already. It seems like just yesterday that we were watching the Giants beat the Patriots in another classic Super Bowl. Or LeBron’s coming out party. Or London’s brilliant and glorious Olympic Games. New stars emerged in 2012. From Gabby Douglas to Missy Franklin to Andy Murray to Mike Trout to Robert Griffin III. We had a Triple Crown in baseball and a near-Triple Crown in horse racing. We had three perfect games in the Majors for the first time ever, yet none of them made my list of the top games of the year. So, in true Joe Brackets tradition, my final post of the year is dedicated to those contests that were the most memorable. The annual Joe Brackets “Top Games of the Year.” And since 2012 just ended, the countdown starts at No. 12.

NFL Wild Card Weekend Picks
I can’t believe we’re already at Wild Card Weekend. Although, if you’ve watched TV or listened to the radio at all this week, you wouldn’t even know it’s the playoffs.

This is a video that shows the dangerous of bath salts. Production value is great I may add.
The U.S. Navy released a video warning of the dangers and health risks of “bath salts” and other drugs.

NFL Week 17 Picks
Well kids, we’ve reached the final week of the 2012 NFL season. As Week 17 dawns, 10 of the 12 playoff spots are clinched, as are six of the eight divisions. But that doesn’t mean we’ve got a boring slate of games in store for Sunday. Just the opposite, actually. We’ve got Cowboys-Redskins for the NFC East title on Sunday night, among others. Of course, we’ve got some meaningless duds like Jaguars-Texans, too. That’s why I’m breaking this week’s picks into three categories: Games That Really Matter, Games That Somewhat Matter, and Games That Don’t Matter.

The NFL’s Best
Among the things I received for Christmas this year was the new Sports Illustrated book “Football’s Greatest.” It had a bunch of Top 10 lists ranking all kids of football-related things, from the best uniforms and games to coaches and rivalries. The book also featured the panel’s Top 10 list of all-time bests at each position. Along with the obvious Hall of Famers, there were a bunch of active players included as well. And that got me thinking: Who are the greatest players in the NFL right now?
