As fans of sports, each year we are reminded records are meant to be broken, success is earned through hard work and at some point, everything comes to an end. This year was no exception as we saw some great icons of sports accomplish some incredible feats as well as a few that retired or passed away. Here are a few moments from the year that we will cherish and remember for years to come.
Peyton Manning goes out on top
Peyton Manning is, without a doubt, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Most career passing touchdowns. Most career passing yards. Most passing touchdowns in a season. Most passing yards in a season. Most wins. You name it and this guy has it. However, the big knock on Manning was always that he stumbled under pressure.

In today’s culture of disposable musicians, a performer whose career lasts ten years or longer can be thought of as an icon. Such is the case for Willie Nelson, who at the age 83 is still recording and is currently on a tour of the United States. His “Willie Nelson and Family” band appears regularly across the country and in Canada and in casinos everywhere.
Nelson began his career at age 13, when he decided that playing guitar and singing would be a better way to earn money than by picking cotton. Initially performing at local venues like music halls and bars, by the time he reached his 20s, Nelson began his musical career in earnest. He traveled the northwestern U.S., returning to Texas, and eventually moving to Nashville in 1960. While it took a few years for Nelson’s singing career to take off, he made money and a name for himself by selling his songs to other artists. Quite of few of these became big hits, like “Crazy” that Patsy Cline turned into a country classic.
Casino games are full of judgment calls with what plays you should make sometimes.
