A look into the Eagles, 49ers, Bengals and Chiefs’ paths to the playoffs through postseason ticket prices.
Just four teams remain in the race for the Lombardi Trophy. Ahead of this weekend’s AFC and NFC championship games, it’s worth looking back on how each team got here! While three of the four teams also played in conference championship games last season, the paths through this season have been anything but linear.

Charles Omenihu will likely suit up this weekend for the San Francisco 49ers.
The talented defensive end was arrested Monday after an alleged altercation with his girlfriend. The woman didn’t display any injuries at the time of police contacting the couple, but alleged she’d been pushed to the floor by Omenihu, according to a San Jose Police Department release. Ultimately, Omenihu was arrested for alleged misdemeanor domestic violence.

This moment was too good to be true.
A seemingly hilarious viral moment happened during a men’s college basketball game between Loyola-Chicago and Duquesne on Wednesday night. Early in the second half, an apparent delivery man wandered onto the court during game play and looked around for the person who was supposed to drop off his food to.
The video was widely distributed around the internet after it happened. It showed up on ESPN’s Instagram page, on Bleacher Report’s Twitter, and was spotlighted by numerous other large publications.

Lemonier spent time with the Chargers and Cardinals as well.

Diving into each of the four potential Super Bowl LVII matchups
Faced with a question like this, there is really no wrong answer.
Looking at the four potential Super Bowl matchups, there is no shortage of storylines that lie ahead. Regardless of how this weekend unfolds, the Super Bowl will offer incredible matchups, dynamic players, and brilliant coaching staffs. With any one of these four games, football fans will emerge as the biggest winners of all.
This is all to say … trying to rank them was a tough task.

Having a cold one at an NHL game is one of life’s most simple (and expensive) pleasures. However, for Rangers fans that may be going away. To the surprise of no one, the reason stems from James Dolan’s beef with the New York State Liquor Authority.
Dolan is in the midst of a feud with the state’s liquor authority over his use of facial recognition technology at Madison Square Garden and other venues owned by MSG Entertainment.

LSU women’s basketball took some time on Wednesday for a trip to one of the more unlikely places. The undefeated, No. 4-ranked Tigers and head coach Kim Mulkey visited the Louisiana State Penitentiary.
Angola, also called the ‘Alcatraz of the South,’ is the largest maximum-security prison in the United States and is located one hour north of Baton Rouge. It has more than 6,000 prisoners and employs more than 1,500 staff members.
Mulkey brought her team and staff, which is currently 20-0, to Angola as a learning experience. She wanted her team to step outside of its comfort zone.

The trilogy bout is set for March in London, where the former and current welterweight champions will meet to settle the score.

These lefty hitters are hoping the elimination of the shift will help them return to form.
In a sign of the times, left-handed hitting played almost no role in the hottest free-agent market in history. There were far more bounce-back candidates available than frontline players, including the likes of Matt Carpenter, Adam Frazier, Corey Dickerson, Dominic Smith, Eric Hosmer and Jason Heyward.
With a ban on shifts and a limit on infield depth starting this year, maybe it’s a good time to take a chance on a big rebound from a lefty.

Target these player prop bets between Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship games.
The Championship Round of the NFL postseason features some great matchups, as the Eagles host the 49ers and the Chiefs face the Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City will play with a hobbled Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a high-ankle sprain last week and will affect player props in that contest.
The Niners and Eagles both have great defenses, which could mean less success in the stats sheets for players in what figures to be a highly competitive battle.
