If you liked the spectacle that was Mayweather-McGregor Nick Boyle Jersey , you’re going to love 2018.

The coming year in sports will be long on hype, short on fresh faces, and just like Floyd Mayweather Jr. taking his sweet time to dismantle Conor McGregor, shorter still on suspense by the end.

We’ll see a few favorites do what they do well: Alabama, Serena Williams, the New England Patriots, Golden State Warriors, Jordan Spieth, Germany’s World Cup side and hot dog-eating king Joey Chestnut will all win championships and polish their reputations as dynasties.

Article continues below ...
The Russians, meanwhile, will tarnish theirs by getting caught doping at the Winter Olympics. Just as predictably, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will look overmatched at several points in the season Terrance West Jersey , QB Colin Kaepernick will still be on the lookout for work and the Tennessee Vols will be looking for yet another football coach when December rolls around.

There will be people playing out of position, too.

Michael Jordan, 54, who owns the Charlotte Hornets and used to be a fair NBA player, will return to the court just long enough to shut up LaVar Ball – basketball’s version of a stage-dad-from-Hades – in a pay-per-view event during All-Star weekend.

Their beef began in June , when 50-year-old LaVar said, ”Back in my heyday, I would kill Michael Jordan one-on-one.”

Considering Ball’s ”heyday” was one season at Washington State exactly 20 years ago – he averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds – Jordan simply ignored him. But then a kid asked MJ about the matchup at a basketball camp in August.

”I don’t think he could beat me,” Jordan replied, ”if I was one-legged.”

”Well guess what,” Ball shot back, ”I can beat him with one hand.”

So let’s get ready to . stumble?

Yet for all the imagined ”beefs” spilling over into the new year Mike Wallace Jersey , several real ones are going to be settled. Without further ado, here’s a look ahead:



Jan. 8 – Alabama coach Nick Saban dozes off mid-answer explaining how the Tide shut down Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma to become the first repeat winner of the College Football Playoff.

”Sorry,” Saban says after a player gently nudges him awake. ”I’ve been watching film on every team in America on a loop for … actually, I don’t remember how long. Pretty much since we lost to Clemson in this game exactly a year ago.”

Saban spots his wife, Terry, at the back of the interview room and asks how their kids are doing. She smiles back, he says, ”Great!” and heads for the exit.

”Enough celebrating,” Saban announces, checking his watch. ”Recruiting season begins … now!”



Jan. 15 – Unbeknownst to fans and foes, Serena Williams was two months pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open. She opens defense of her title with a 6-0, 6-0 win over wild-card entry Jessica Ponchet of France with 4+-month-old daughter Alexis strapped into a baby sling on her back.

”No disrespect to Jessica Eric Weddle Jersey ,” Williams explains, ”but Venus was busy with her own match and every working parent knows how hard it is to find a baby sitter. So this was just an emergency fix. As soon as my mom gets here, I promise, Alexis will go back to watching my matches from the stands.”



March 29 – Washington’s Bryce Harper homers three times on opening day at Cincinnati, then tells reporters afterward he won’t spend ”even one minute” thinking about free agency until the season is over.

On his way down the tunnel, he texts Kris Bryant, the Chicago Cubs third baseman and Harper’s BFF since they were dominating little leaguers together in Las Vegas.

”Wassup?”



April 2 – With FBI agents posted outside the Final Four locker rooms as part of an ongoing federal corruption probe, Gonzaga beats Duke and finally rewards long-suffering coach Mark Few.

”I’ve waited a long time for this, but let’s be frank,” Few says. ”It didn’t hurt that Arizona, Louisville, USC and who-knows-how-many other powerhouse programs and players were probably feeling some heat from the feds.

”It can’t be easy to coach or play your best Matt Judon Jersey ,” he adds, ”in a mask.”



June 17 – Golden State beats Cleveland again in a rough-and-tumble, seven-game series to repeat as NBA champions. The Finals cap a combative round of playoffs that includes constant scuffling between former teammates-turned-rivals LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the Eastern Conference and Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in the West.

”My calendar has exactly one event left on it: vacation,” jubilant Golden State coach Steve Kerr says afterward. But just to be sure, the Warriors launch a pre-emptive Twitter strike saying they won’t be visiting to the White House this year, either.

”Wasn’t gonna invite you, anyway!” President Trump tweets back. ”(hash)LOSERS!”



July 15 – Germany wraps up its dominant monthlong campaign by defeating Russia, its surprisingly tough hosts, 5-0 in the World Cup final in Moscow.

President Vladimir Putin hands over the trophy and then, seeking to sooth the restive home crowd, he smiles and adds: ”Don’t forget. We beat you here the last time – when it really mattered.”



Aug. 12 – Spieth becomes the only golfer ever to complete the calendar Gr.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
