Phoenix Suns
The NBA season is about to begin, and everyone is in first place right now (even the Kings!). But when it's all said and done, and the never-ending NBA playoffs are finally over, the Phoenix Suns will be NBA Champions.
There are plenty of quality teams in the league that could compete for a title, but all of them have flaws.

Sacramento State cross country and track and field runner Jeffrey Paneda knew going into the February 2007 Big West Indoor Championships in Bozeman, Mont., was a long shot for him and was likely to not add many points to a team in desperate need of them.
Predicted to finish seventh in the 800-meter and with the Big Sky Championship nearly in the Hornets' grasp, it was time for the then-junior to rise to the occasion.

They can't score on anybody, but they sure can bash each other The Giants manhandled the 49ers 33-10 on Sunday, sending San Francisco to its fourth straight loss after it started the season 2-0. Quarterback Trent Dilfer probably wishes he had sat this one out because the Giants punished the veteran quarterback all day to the tune of six sacks, two lost fumbles and two interceptions. I have almost run out of ways to say how pathetic and ugly San Francisco's offense is. It's more likely that we'll see Britney Spears open up a child daycare center before San Francisco scores 30 points this season. (0) comments

The bowlers were put in teams of two, bowling as many games as they could in a two hour time frame with their top two scores counting towards their overall score.
