Silverman: Historic Start More Than Just A Star Show For Blackhawks
The Blackhawks know that the shortened NHL season will not be stopped and Lord Stanley’s hardware will not be awarded by keeping the “L” column clean against the Canucks.

Silverman: Kaepernick, Defensive Speed Give 49ers The Advantage
Kaepernick is a superb weapon who has the athleticism to do things that Flacco can’t. The 49ers also have the speed and the attack mentality on defense that the Ravens once did.
Silverman: Reed’s Ability With The Ball Makes Hall Of Famer Lott Envious
It’s Ray’s last ride but as he gets set to dance his Baltimore teammates into the Superdome, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Colin Kaepernick would be well-advised to focus much of their attention on Baltimore’s Ed Reed.

Silverman: In-Game Decisions Are Crucial Aspect Of Coaching Search
A great teacher will pay dividends and so will a coach who understands strategy and how to use his timeouts.
Silverman: Shortened Season Will Bring More Excitement – Not Less – To NHL
The Blackhawks are going to be excellent entertainment most nights for fans who will forget their lockout-induced anger at hockey.
Silverman: Divisional Playoffs Should Be A Huge Turnaround From Wild-Card Blahs
The Wild-Card weekend represented some of the worst playoff football seen in many years.
