Roger Diez: A trio of amazing things from racing world

Three things amazed me about last weekend’s racing. First, the NASCAR Cup short-track race at Richmond was remarkably calm, with yellow flags only for a competition caution and at the end of stages. Second, the Formula 1 race at Mugello was a wreckfest featuring two red flags and three restarts. And third, Scott Dixon went winless twice at his most successful track the IndyCar circuit, significantly tightening the points race.

Joe Santoro: Tampa Bay a Super Bowl favorite?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it seems, have become a Super Bowl favorite. Sportsbooks, according to media reports, are getting a lot of money on the Bucs to win the title. An average team (at best) adds a 43-year-old quarterback and suddenly people think that team can win the Super Bowl. Only in America. But the Tom Brady mystique defies rational thinking.

Joe Santoro: How good is Tom Brady? We're going to find out

Football is back. There was already a college football game last weekend (Central Arkansas beat Austin Peay, 24-17) and more are on the way this weekend. The NFL season is just a week away. This month just might be the greatest in sports history with Major League Baseball, the NHL, NBA, NFL and college football all active and playing meaningful games. It wasn’t that long ago when the only thing sports fans had to watch was a one-sided Michael Jordan documentary that reminded us that he was really good at basketball. Now we will find out if Tom Brady is still really good at football.
