The Philadelphia Eagles had no issues winning the NFC Championship with a 31-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Jalen Hurts had only 121 passing yards but the Eagles rushed for nearly 150 yards as a team. The Eagles defense forced three turnovers and also had three sacks while keeping the Niners to under 200 yards of offense. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe rate the Eagles performance on a 1-10 impressive scale.

Hate him or love him, you have to admit that there’s never a dull moment involving Patrick Reed. Not only did he trade jabs (and tees) with Rory McIlroy all week at the Dubai Desert Classic, but Reed found himself in just his latest cheating controversy as well.
During Sunday’s third round, Reed’s tee shot on the Par 4 17th was lodged in a tree. He and a rules official identified his ball stuck in the tree which then allowed him to take an unplayable penalty below.
Identifying the ball saved Reed at least one shot.

Holding is holding, except when it isn’t
There is an old saying about watching football that goes something like this: You could call a holding penalty on every single play.
Complaining about officiating is nothing new in the world of sports, and it is not isolated to football. Dip your toes into the world of F1 for example, and you will see fans of Lewis Hamilton fighting with fans of Max Verstappen about the end of the 2021 season to this very day.

The hockey world has lost one of the all-time greats with the death of Bobby Hull.
Hull, 84, who was known as the Golden Jet, died early Monday morning according to Chicago’s The Daily Herald.
He is the Chicago Blackhawks’ all-time leading scorer and made his NHL debut during the 1957-58 season. He was part of the Blackhawks team that won the 1961 Stanley Cup, the franchise’s last win before a modern dynasty won Cups in 2010, 2013, and 2015.
During his time with the Blackhawks, he scored 30 goals in 13 consecutive seasons.

She didn’t wait to tease Cincinnati fans with a cold-blooded message.
The Chiefs are heading to Super Bowl LVII after their AFC championship game win over the Bengals on Sunday and one Kansas City supporter is rubbing it in with three simple words.
Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, took to Twitter and appeared to throw shade toward Cincinnati right after the Bengals’ heartbreaking 23–20 loss.
“Cancun on 3,” she said on Twitter.

Ahem … is this thing on? Can everyone hear me? Yeah? Ok, Good. For the first time in 2023, it’s officially a NASCAR race week!
Buckle up, strap up, pull those damn belts tight one more time (shoutout to Larry Mac), because we’re less than one week away from an actual green flag.
Yes, it’s in LA when it should be in Daytona – there’s a reason people leave California for Florida, you know – but we’ll let that slide here. Don’t want to dampen the mood on our first race week of the year.
The offseason is over, boys and girls.

It will be a special Super Bowl for the Kelce brothers.
Eagles center Jason Kelce and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will make history in Super Bowl LVII, as they will become the first pair of brothers to oppose each other in the Super Bowl.
The two All-Pro brothers play significant roles with their respective teams and have an extremely close bond that will need to be put aside for a few hours as they both look to win the Lombardi Trophy.
After the Eagles won the NFC championship on Sunday afternoon, Jason commented on the potential of facing his brother in the Super Bowl.

The leading rusher on the national champs tops Albert Breer’s list of players scouts should have their eyes on in Mobile this week.
It’s Senior Bowl week, which serves as the unofficial kickoff to draft season with the largest collection of draftable prospects in one place outside of the combine descending on Mobile, Ala.

The NFL’s best broadcaster is poised to be pushed out to make way for Tom, and that’s unfair.
Enjoy Greg Olsen while you can, because the NFL’s best broadcaster could be two weeks away from being out of a job. Olsen was hired to keep the seat warm for Tom Brady, seen as the greatest prize in football broadcasting (for some reason), and now Olsen has proven that he’s the best, most dynamic, and engaging broadcaster we’ve had in years.
