  Ross Kelly, CBS Local Sports
  The NBA season is just a month old and the basketball we’ve seen thus far will be far different from the basketball we see come the end of the season (except for maybe in Philadelphia).

  27-11-2015 19:37
  
  ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — Over hot chocolate, Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin recently had their first real heart-to-heart chat.
  Among the topics discussed in a New Zealand coffee shop were family, friends, “girl stuff” — as Shiffrin put it — and, of course, ski racing.
  Throughout the season, these two American teammates could very well be at the top of the overall standings. Might come down to the very end, too.
  No bitterness, they maintain. No nastiness, either. Just

  Now that our Thanksgiving football festivities are in the books, we can turn our focus to Week 12’s main event: Manning vs. Brady round… wait. What? He’s not playing? Well, that sucks.

  Over the last month, they’ve become an increasi
