Hot/Not

Some of these athletes dominated their sport this week...some of them did not
HOT
San Antonio Spurs - Winners of 9 straight, the Spurs (37-11) have shown they are not ready to concede the West to Oklahoma City quite yet.  Tim Duncan continues to dazzle in the most boring way as he leads his team to the top spot in the West.

San Jose Sharks - The Sharks have begun the 2013 campaign with a perfect 6-0 start.  While the Kings got all the preseason hype.  Patrick Marleau and the Sharks have dominated opponents with a +16 goal differential.  A perennial regular season powerhouse, the question remains: Can the Sharks prove themselves in the playoffs?
Villanova Basketball - Amidst a mediocre 2012-2013 season, the Wildcats surprised the nation by taking down Syracuse and Louisville in the same week, ranked #3 and #5 respectively.  This monstrous week has given the young Wildcats new life in a Big East Conference with no legitamate #1 team.
Novak Djokovic - Djokovic captured his 3rd Australian Open this past weekend.  Further, in an era of Federer and Nadal dominance, he has established himself as the legitamate #1 player in the world.
Deer Antler Spray - Have you ever heard of Deer Antler Spray before this week?  What does it even do?  Thanks to Ray Lewis alleged usage, Deer Antler Spray is the new HOT commodity!
NOT

Randy Moss - Did you hear the humble statement Randy made this week during media week?  He only said that he was the greatest wide receiver to ever play the game.  Really Randy?  That's bold, especially without even mentioning the greatest ever, Jerry Rice.
Andrew Bynum - Another star with a dumb statement this past week.  According to Andrew, it doesn't really matter when he comes back to the court.  Yeah, just so you know Bynum, the Philadelphia fans don't care when you come back either...NOT!
Lesean McCoy - On the field, McCoy is the man.  Off the field, he has some growing up to do. This week on Twitter, Lesean got into a tweeting fight with his son's mother.  After a slew of uncalled for and inappropriate tweets, he finally deleted his account.  Gotta do some maturing bro, and get a PR person.

MLB Players Using HGH - At least 20 players, including Alex Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera and Gio Gonzalez, were reported to have used illegal HGH.  Guys, it's a banned substance.  Stop using it!
Marshall Faulk and Tim Brown - Both of these former players have come out the past couple of weeks complaining they were cheated out of a Super Bowl ring.  Brown says his coach threw the game.  Faulk says the Patriots cheated through Spygate.  Both Super Bowls were at least 10 years ago.  Let it go men, let it go already.
