They need the Pats and Dolphins to lose and they need to win and they are in.

And the Steelers are still in the running for a playoff spot.....cuz Mike Tomlin.

Daniel Jones has a career high in Completion Percentage, Passing yards, QB rating, rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing TD this season.......so does that mean he's good this year?

So is there some sort of league mandate where "you must call the lateral for the final play of the game if you are down by a TD or less. If you throw a hail mary, we will fine you!" from the NFL? Or is it because Darnold doesn't have the arm to throw an 80 yard hail mary? RIP Hail Mary play in the NFL....I think.

Stadium announcement is probably a development agreement between the A's and the city of Oakland. If what Will Carroll says is true, then it will be Angels and D'Backs. It could also be the Rays, as the mayor of St. Petersburg says that an announcement will be made at the end of January to see who gets to develop the area around Tropicana Field.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk believes that Jim Harbaugh's name will come up in the NFL coaching cycle again because he wants what his brother John has: a Super Bowl Championship. He also believes that Jim Harbaugh will be the one college head coach who can easily make the transition to the NFL because of his prior success with the 49ers. Hopefully Jim Harbaugh knows who Aaron Donald and Deebo Samuel are.

Ronaldo almost signed with MLS, and not with the New York teams, Miami, the LA teams or Chicago:

Following the lead of MLB, who also has 5 California based teams (for now): A's, Angeles, Dodgers, Giants and Padres

he could still be in MLS in 2.5 years, although not sure it will actually happen:

I don't know what the NFL future of Josh Dobbs is going to be, but Brock Purdy has got himself at least a decade in the NFL.

he reportedly oversaw the construction of US Bank Stadium when he worked for the Vikings and the Bears have recently made waves for a new stadium in Arlington Heights.

I don't want Las Vegas at 32. I want one of those spots to go to a first time major league city, like Louisville (MLS is the only shot Louisville has of being a Major League city) and the other in Indianapolis. But Las Vegas will probably get one of those spots, because it's Las Vegas and they will not stop until they get teams in all five major leagues.

Big 10 might be looking for a new Commissioner:

Bengals WR Trenton Irwin is being interviewed on the Pat McAfee Show.....I wonder if him or any of his boys will bring up the fact that he looks like Pat's pro wrestling arch nemesis, Adam Cole (bay bay). Edit....they did not, although his chat mentioned it.

Would it surprise anyone if Josh McDaniels had Jimmy G or TB12 at QB next year for the Raiders? Because somehow I doubt they draft Will Levis or Anthony Richardson, both of whom have high bust potential but also high All Pro potential if everything hits. Some mock drafts have Richardson with the Giants, which would be interesting. One rationale I heard for drafting Richardson for the Giants was to have him sit behind Daniel Jones for a year or two once the Giants re-sign Jones (Chris Simms on Pro Football Talk has suggested that the Giants sign Jones to a 2 or 3 year deal with an out after a year if things don't work out).

If there's one thing Derek Carr did was that he stabilized the QB position for the Raiders for almost a decade. Now the Raiders will be added to the list of teams with a constant revolving door of QBs.

JJ Watt is the type of guy that I am sad to see never got a chance to play in a Super Bowl.

Chris Simms epic rant about how the Jets and their fans don't deserve Zack Wilson incoming.

I watched the entire Nuggets vs. Suns game on ABC because the Sunday Night Game was a snoozer.

Whoever comes out of the NFC South has to play Dallas......so can the Bucs score at least 5 TD's? We know the Cowboys can.

Sunday Night Football got so boring that I opted to watch another Arizona professional sports team, the Phoenix Suns against the Denver Nuggets.
