It’s the beginning of the NBA season, and the 2-1 Nets are already second in the Atlantic Division.

The first two games of the season for the Nets consisted of a late-game comeback from point guard Devin Harris. In the final few minutes of the fourth quarter during the Nets 106-100 win over the Sacramento Kings, Harris generated a late charge for the Nets and scored 21 points.

Before their furious comeback, the Nets made careless turnovers and poor decisions digging themselves an eight-point hole in the second quarter. Fortunately, Harris and the rest of the team were inspired to push forward and score 11 straight. Up until that point the Nets opened their season undefeated 2-0.

Despite the Nets’ undefeated start to the season, Halloween was not so good to them. Earlier tonight the Miami Heat beat the Nets 101-78. The Nets were led by Brook Lopez who made 5 rebounds and had 20 points. Rookie David Favors added 13 points to the Nets’ score. The rookie also had an impressive 13 rebounds.

Last year the Nets opened their season 0-18. All things considered, the Nets are off to a great start for the 2010-2011 NBA season. The New Jersey Nets will play their next game at the Prudential Center on Wednesday, November 3 against the Charlotte Bobcats.

It may be early in the season, but the New Jersey Devils have found themselves in a position they do not want to be in. The Devils (2-7-1) are uncharacteristically in the bottom of the NHL, and tonight they will try to end their losing streak against the Anaheim Ducks.

The Devils are in the midst of a three game losing streak, losing their last game 5-2 San Jose Sharks. This is the team’s longest losing streak in 18 months, and they haven’t lost four games in a row since 2009.

In the past 17 years the Devils have won nine Atlantic Division titles and three Stanley Cups while fighting for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately for the Devils, they are currently last in the league in scoring with only 17. With 35 goals allowed, they are also last in the league for that. Last season the Devils were unwilling to give up goals, only allowing 191 goals.

The Ducks have one goal tonight, and that is to beat the Devils in hopes of winning consecutive games for the first time this season. But the Devils will be working hard to stop them in order to escape their losing slump.

The New Jersey Devils will hit the ice against the Ducks at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

The Public Theatre opened The Merchant of Venice on Broadway starring Al Pacino earlier last week. Pacino will reprise his admired performance as Shylock at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City for a limited engagement of only 78 performances.

Al Pacino has appeared in many Broadway shows including American Buffalo and Chinese Coffee, and has won Tony Awards for his performances in The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?. This legendary actor has also won Academy Awards, Emmys, Golden Globes for his appearances in over 35 different films.

The opening of this play follows a sold-out, eight week run of this Shakespearian comedy at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park from June 12 through August 1 of this summer. The success of the Shakespeare in the park encouraged the transfer from the Park to the Broadway stage. Andrew D. Hamingson, executive director of The Public Theatre, said that response from the audience, critics, “and the desire of Al Pacino and the cast to bring it to a larger audience” sparked the transfer.

Nearly 50 years ago, legendary NFL coach and general manager, Vince Lombardi was at the peak of his career. He now has many accomplishments to his name, including leading the Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls.

His unique way of leading the team through bullying, while showing love and being protective, along with his ability to create a team unlike any other sparked a general interest in Lombardi’s life.

The public was interested in gaining more knowledge on his skills and methods of management and coaching, to his inspirational and motivational teachings, all the way through to his death at the age of 57 from cancer. This interest inspired a biography based on Vince Lombardi’s life by  Pulitzer Prize-winning author, David Maraniss, entitled When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vincent Lombardi.

This biography in turn inspired a broadway play on one of the NFL’s most legendary coaches. Lombardi starring Dan Lauria opened on Broadway earlier this weak at New York’s Circle in the Square Theatre. Sponsored by the NFL, this play highlights and showcases one of the league’s most iconic heroes for all kinds of audiences.

On Thursday night the New Jersey Devils returned to Martin Brodeur’s hometown where the all-star goalie stopped 21 shots to make this his second shutout already this season.

For anyone still doubting Brodeur about his age, this 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens sure sent them a clear message. The 38-year-old now has 112 shut outs to his name throughout his entire career, and nine total against the Canadiens.

On Thursday night at the Bell Centre the Devils ended their two-game losing steak, which was broken once again on Saturday night against the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres easily beat the devils 6-1 by scoring early in the game, and continuing to make shots throughout the remaining periods.

The New York Yankees were able to extend their World Series chances for at least one more game with a 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. With this win tonight, the Yankees are on their way to overcoming the teams’ first 3-1 playoff deficit in 52 years.

After a week long slump, the Yankees played exceptional defense, and pitcher CC Sabathia struck out seven batters in six innings. However, he did run into a rough patch during his last inning.

It was the sixth inning and the Yankees were leading 6-1 with one out. Sabathia gave up three singles in a row, which loaded up the bases. A ground ball added one more to the Rangers score, with Mitch Moreland up at bat. It took him eight pitches, and the fans roaring in the crowds, but Sabathia was able to stump Moreland on a two balls, two strikes pitch.

Although the 2009 World Series Winners were able to avoid elimination this time, they still are not where they would ideally be. They forced a game six in the best-of-seven series that is still 3-2 in favor of the Rangers.

The New York Yankees will compete in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Friday, October 22, 2010 in Texas against the Rangers. This game will feature a rematch of game 2, as the Yankees will start Phil Hughes against Colby Lewis, only this time the Yankees are hoping that the game ends in their favor.

Over the summer Jersey Boys Tickets were no stranger to our Top 5 Events list, and now the Grammy, Olivier, and Tony Award-winning Best Musical will celebrate it’s 5th anniversary on Broadway next month. On Friday, November 5 through Monday, November 8 Jersey Boys will host different events in honor of this exciting milestone, beginning with the Empire State Building Lighting.

Since the Empire State Building is the “World’s Most Famous Office Building, it celebrates numerous causes and cultures with symbolic lighting relating to the cause, and Jersey Boys is no exception.

For the first time in nine years, the New York Jets are hoping to open the season by winning three games in a row on the road. So far on the road New York has played in Miami against the Dolphins and in Buffalo against the Bills, and were victorious in both games. Now with a 4-1 record, the Jets are currently leading the AFC East.

The Denver Bronos are the next opponents in the Jets’ path on the road. Although Denver has one of the top passing games in the NFL, the Jets were ranked at the top for pass defense in 2009. However, this year the Jets seem to be having a bit of trouble as they have allowed an average of 234.6 passing yards per game. The question is… will Denvers’ strong passing game be able to trump the Jets on the road?

The high amount of passing yards that New York has allowed may have something to do with the loss of Darrelle Revis, the Jets’ star cornerback. Health issues entailing a strained right hamstring caused the All-Pro to miss two games already this season. Revis played in Monday’s game against Minnesota, but admitted that his leg felt sore afterwards. Coach Rex Ryan is unsure if Revis will play on Sunday or not, but he said has high hopes that he will be “ready to roll.”

The New York Jets will face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, October 17 at the Invesco Field at Mile High.

In order to do so, the NHL recruited Stan Lee, the leader of SLG Entertainment, who has worked on many exciting comic phenomenons such as the X-Men, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four.

Their collaboration has resulted in Guardian Media Entertainment, whose goal is to give fans of hockey and comics something to look forward to. GME plans to release 30 new superheroes like never before, exploring new ideas of entertainment and imagination. The 30 superheroes and their identities are being kept a secret until All-Star Weekend when they will all be revealed in Raleigh.

Lee has said that the names of teams sound like they could possibly be names of superheroes, and he was inspired by that. He said, ”In doing the National Hockey League Guardians, I just wanted characters that people would enjoy reading about… just good story, which is imaginative, which is high-concept, which is fast-moving, which is colorful.”

The ‘Guardians’ are sure to be popular amongst not only hockey and comic fans, but fans of entertainment in general. The 2011 NHL All Star Game will be held on Sunday, January 30 at the RBC Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
