We present our favorite photos of the past sports week.
This week’s offerings include a lot of football, the American pro and American college version, and football, the international version we call soccer.
It's a fairly quiet time on the sports calendar (outside of football), with baseball ending, the NBA just starting and the NHL still in a lockout that shows no signs of ending.
