THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: FEBRUARY 6TH – 12TH

The world turns their eyes away from a Chinese spy balloon and toward the state of Arizona this week. One of the most anticipated events on the sports calendar takes place in Phoenix this week in the form of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. This event will be overshadowed by the largest spectacle in the World as the Super Bowl kicks off in nearby Glendale on Sunday. The NHL returns from the All Star Break with their eyes set on the trade deadline and precious playoff spots. The NBA enters their final full week of action prior to their All Star Break during President’s Day Weekend. We all will have our eyes on LeBron James and the Lakers as he is with 36 points of Kareem. College Basketball and European Soccer leagues continue to march forward. MLS teams are in preseason training as they approach their season openers at the end of the month. This is the last week of the MLB offseason with Spring Training opening up next week in cities across Florida and Arizona.
