I think many knew that the "Rooney Rule" was flawed, but I honestly give props to Flores for being vocal about it. It'll probably cost him his coaching chances even though it shouldn't, but he's more qualified than most of the recent hires. I can see what that "power struggle" between him and Stephen Ross was about (paying the dude to throw games? lol). Not a good look for the Dolphins... and not a good look for the league as a whole.

Cincinnati is the home team, no?

I never thought I'd see the Bengals make the Super Bowl. I thought this was a cursed franchise that was on the Lions/Browns spectrum. Unreal... My birth city is gonna be rockin!

I think those columnists who had him playing till he was 50 can zip it now. Props to Brady though; At least he didn't suck at the very end.

The Battle Creek Bombers are now the Battle Jacks. https://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/story/sports/2022/01/26/your-new-baseball-team-battle-creek-battle-jacks/9224789002/

Being the number one seed in your conference, with an MVP-caliber quarterback... and you could only score a TD and a FG? Some things never change... like the Packers in the playoffs.

This year has been a success for Cincy regardless of what happens next. Weren't they projected to be last place in the AFC North this past offseason?

Sugar Land Daft Cowboys.

That has Brandoise written all over it.

And they're doing it again with PHI-TB!

Looking at the scorebug on CBS for the NE-BUF Wild Card game, the logos look smaller than usual. I feel like I've seen this happen with FOX's scorebug a few times as well.

So when did they change the title of "Wild Card Weekend" to "Super Wild Card Weekend?"

Ja Morant is beyond amazing. That's all.

Nope, he gets to be demolished by the Chiefs in Kansas City. Fingers crossed it mimics the way Marino went out.

Miami sweeps New England for the first time since... I dunno, before Tom Brady? I'd be happier if it meant a playoff birth, but at least they now have had two consecutive winning seasons since 2002-2003? Congrats on the division again, Buffalo.

It's hard to believe that place is only 30 years old. It feels like an all-time classic, arguably in the same class as Wrigley and Fenway.

That W that was shown transitioning might be their new logo, but I can't make anything of it. I do remember them saying the name will be something that ties into D.C.. Given the three stars on the back, I'm guessing it will be something American/Militaristic/Patriotic, though that leaves me to believe it will be one of those names from their "list". I hope they aren't the Commanders, Defenders, or Armada.

Pittsburgh is gonna continue the streak of not finishing last in their division, all because of the Browns' incompetence and Baker Mayfield.

The flexing for KC-DEN doesn't make much sense. The Broncos are already out of the playoff picture, so are they really hosting a primetime game just for Kansas City?

I don't think there will be any other team I'd be rooting hard for in the playoffs than the Bengals (maybe Buffalo, but only if they make the Super Bowl). I'm happy for the city of Cincinnati having a contender again, especially considering that the Reds are more about money than winning.

Winter Classic in Minnesota recorded as the coldest game in NHL history.

After a 1-7 start, Miami is 8-7. I can't believe they're currently in a playoff spot; no way I would've thought of that at the end of Week 8. I don't think they win out, but it's nice to see them in the mix at the end of the season.

I know there are many that say the AFC is a "crapshoot" and "no one is really dominant," but I love how tight it is.

Mayfield might be the one thing holding the Browns back. They have a great team, just not a great QB.

The only instance Minnesota used gold correctly was in their All-Star Game logo. At the time I thought there was promise for it, but the Twins have yet to execute it into their scheme properly. It leaves me in question about its place within their identity.
