We are left with four games, as the top seeds in each conference will be back in action. The time for being cute is past and we are now to the point of the playoffs where we see which teams can really compete for a Super Bowl in a real way.

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us. No not Christmas, the NFL Playoffs! Every year around this time we begin to get the games that matter more to NFL fans than any other games. The good teams have separated themselves from the bad ones, and we are left with the cream of the crop… sort of.

First, does anyone else find it satisfying that on the last week of the NFL season the week numbers matched up between the two leagues? I find it to be the third best thing that happened to me all weekend.

The NFL regular season has come to a close. This season had its ups and downs but we made it through without expanding the playoffs or having to add an eighteenth week to the schedule. The playoffs are set and the predictions will be raining from the heavens for the next six days.

The NBA kicked off last night and it was wonderful to have it back in our lives. The NBA is a league driven by its stars in a way no other professional sports league is. So what better way to celebrate the beginning of the new season than by ranking the top twenty-five players in the NBA.

Point being is that receivers are a dependent position, yet have such a wide range of skill sets and skill levels it makes them one of the strangest and most difficult position groups to rank. That is precisely why I chose to rank them.

I am going to go through every single round of the playoffs. I actually won’t give more than a sentence or two on the first two rounds because seeding is so fickle. However what I will do is go relatively in depth on my picks for conference matchups and obviously my Finals pick.

The NBA season is so close I can almost taste it. Predicting various outcomes of the NBA season is one of my favorite preseason past-times. This season however, I have an audience and that is exciting for me.

It’s time for the big dog, the big brother, the big kahuna. The Rap Up will be previewing the Western conference for NBA week, and boy what a magical conference it is.

The NBA is a wonderful league that has wonderful story lines, intrigue, and drama all throughout. Unfortunately for fans of every team, the NBA is thirty teams strong and not just fifteen. Today we’re gonna be previewing the red-headed step-child of the NBA, the Eastern conference.

sincerely doubt he will be traded before the start of the NBA season next Tuesday, however I fully believe that Harden will be sporting different jersey colors (lest he go to the Chicago Bulls for some insane reason) by the end of this season.

In last week's Champions League article I promised drama. I said that this week would be brilliant and full of drama. Turns out I was right.

It was an absolutely wild week in the NFL and for literally all of the wrong reasons. Teams that you expected to look great looked terrible. Teams that were supposed to roll over fought to the end then came up short in disappointing fashion.

I take wins wherever I can get them as a sports writer, and this week was absolutely a win for sports writers and fans. I may end up saying it every week, I know I said it last week, but the Premier League is the best professional sports league in the world.

Tanking is a part of sports. It has been for a while now. For a long time however, the NFL remained absent of blatant tanking. The Lions and Browns were viewed as laughing stocks for decades.

The best of the best from around Europe come together every year to suss out who truly is the best soccer club in Europe, and by extension, the world.

What an absolutely brutal week of NFL football. The intrigue was gone, only two match-ups made any real difference for what will be happening in January, and Wednesday midday football is just as bad as you think it is.

Every week we get drama, intrigue, and a whole mess of highly skilled professionals showing us just how much more talented they are with their feet and heads. This week was no different.

What a weird season to start doing this kind of list. There have been a fantastic amount of injuries and QB changes that make piecing together the back end of this list near impossible

We had a slate that involved only five games where both teams had a winning record, yet the week was still as exciting as it always is. Football truly is undefeated.
