INGLEWOOD, CA.: The faceoff between Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan Friday night, says TIME's Steve Wulf, was bound to be memorable: "It's no surprise that Magic has come back and played so well. He was a genius on the basketball court when he left, and he has been playing the whole time he left. That extra weight is all muscle. The Lakers are probably a better team when you match up each man, but with Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, the Bulls are just able to overwhelm other teams.

"There's very little compassion for him. But Shula deserves to be cut a little slack. He hasn't lost any of his passion for the game. Everyone says he still works hard and keeps the same long hours he always has." Wulf notes that team owner Wayne Huizenga put his coach...
...major college teams figures to be an excellent contest, with the powerful rushing attack of Nebraska evenly countered by Florida's "Fun 'n' Gun" passing game. With both teams boasting Heisman-candidate quarterbacks and rugged defenses, the game has the makings of a classic shootout, says TIME's Steve Wulf: "It will be a great game. But I am going with Florida. It will come down to coaching, and Florida's Steve Spurrier is simply the best coach in college ball...
