Let’s start in the NFL, as Aaron Rodgers has now been cleared for practice—just 11 weeks after tearing his Achilles. No player has done it faster. How soon will it be before he plays though?

In the NBA, the league resumes its in-season tournament. One of the early surprises is that Denver—the reigning champs—has already been eliminated. If you blink, you’ll miss the group stage. It’s only four games long, and they went 2-2. Meanwhile, they have a very good record on the season. I believe they’re 12-6—and these count […]

Generally, sports fans don’t tune in to the NBA until Christmas Day, when the league schedules a bunch of games, knowing they’ll have little TV competition, but the season starts back in October. Another thing the NBA did was entice the players with something like $500,000 per player on the winning team. Even though the […]

In the NFL, we have a Super Bowl rematch between the Chiefs and the Eagles, in Kansas City. The Chiefs may be 7-2, but they really haven’t had their usual, explosive offense this season.

The Rangers won Game 1 in Houston last night. This postseason has been especially unpredictable—out of the four teams left, only one won their division.

The Cowboys have been a little hit-or-miss this season. They were so dominant against the Giants, Jets, and Patriots—yet somehow lost to Arizona—and were completely exposed last night.
