How did the Houston Texans get here?

Here’s who we’re picking in the opening week of the playoffs.

Then there were ... 14. Okay, so it doesn’t have the same gravitas when almost half the NFL is in the playoffs, but here we are at Wild Card Weekend — also known as “Super Wild Card Weekend,” for some reason.

The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens get a week off for finishing the regular season first in their respective conferences, and now the field battles it out to see who moves forward. Some of these games feel like chalk... Читать дальше...

This is quite the hot take from Melo.

Carmelo Anthony is one of the best players in Denver Nuggets history. The Nuggets selected Anthony at No. 3 overall in the 2003 NBA Draft, and he went on to finish second in Rookie of the Year voting behind LeBron James, lead the team to the Western Conference Finals in 2009, and finish with the third most points in franchise history.

Who leaves a gift card for a statue?

Nick Saban is very much alive, but if you wouldn’t know it if you went past the statue of his on the University of Alabama campus. Fans have been turning the statue into a shrine since Saban announced his retirement this week, leaving all sorts of messages and offerings to their football God — as if it was a holy temple.

This is fine.

It’s a rough week for Alabama fans. Facing an era without Nick Saban, the biggest question in college football is “Who will coach the Tide next?” On Thursday a man named “Legend,” which I pray is his legal name, called into The Paul Finebaum Show to give his opinions on rumors that Dabo Swinney could leave Clemson and return to Tuscaloosa — and let’s just say he’s not thrilled with the idea.
