No one is happy with the Philadelphia Eagles, but it brings us to a greater question of tanking and how it ruins sports. Why does everyone have to be that guy? Should the traditional worst team gets the best pick rule be challenged? How can the NFL, NBA and other leagues help avoid teams actively trying to lose?
The NFL playoffs are here. Who will ride through the AFC and NFC to meet in the pandemic year's Super Bowl? We are torn up. Will the Kansas City Chiefs maintain their strange hold on the AFC or do the Bills, Steelers, Titans or Ravens rise up? In an extremely unpredictable NFC, can Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers get through Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Drew Brees and the Saints, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks or anyone else? Once we get to the Super Bowl, who is taking it all?
Israel Adesanya's next fight is official. He's moving up to light heavyweight to challenge Jan Blachowicz who looks to defend his title for the first time. Can Adesanya become a double champion at UFC 259 in March?
The NBA season is moving along. Aside from the Knicks, what other surprises are there? Who is rising and falling in both the eastern and western conferences?
