- The Puck Stops Here: Now that the 2012-13 campaign is off and running, we discuss the teams and players that will make this season one to remember in the NHL. Who are the serious contenders for the Stanley Cup? Which teams could surprise? What players must come up big? We'll tell you.

- LeBron's Red-Hot Hand: Over the last 5 games, LeBron James has been on fire, shooting an astonishing 71% from the field. What's gotten into LBJ? Can he keep this torrid shooting up? And if the Heat are at full-strength once the playoffs begin, can anyone derail their quest for a second-consecutive championship? Our answers may surprise you.

- 50 For MJ: With "His Airness" turning 50 this Sunday, we're looking back at his historic career and putting all his accomplishments in perspective. What separates Jordan from all other players before or since? Can LeBron James eventually surpass MJ as the greatest ever? Hear our take.

Plus:

We share our all-time favorite Jordan moments, discuss Indiana remaining #1 in the country even after last week's set back to Illinois, and debate whether or not the Eagles have made a mistake by re-signing Michael Vick!
