The AFC championship game would have been held at a neutral site if the Bills had beaten the Bengals on Sunday.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor relished his team’s divisional playoff game win over the Bills on Sunday, specifically addressing how his team ruined some fans’ travel plans. If Buffalo would have won, the AFC championship game would have been at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta between the Bills and Chiefs—a historic change to the NFL playoff format.

With the Women’s World Cup just six months away, U.S. players made their case for a place on Vlatko Andonovski’s squad in two wins over the last week.
The countdown to the 2023 World Cup is officially underway, with the U.S. women’s national team’s first friendlies of the year in the rearview mirror.

For the second straight year, the San Francisco 49ers bounced the Dallas Cowboys from the playoffs with a 19-12 final score. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions in the first half and finished with just over 200 passing yards and one touchdown. The Cowboys last play, with Ezekiel Elliott snapping the ball to Dak, was shut down when KaVontae Turpin was immediately tackled after hauling in the short pass. Skip Bayless discusses the biggest reason his Cowboys came up short again.

The reigning AFC champs were underdogs Sunday. Apparently, no one thinks their assistant coaches are good enough to poach. They’re over it. Cincinnati is just going to keep winning playoff games.
By the time Zac Taylor boarded for the short flight back to Cincinnati, the Bengals coach had cooled off a bit.

The league has yet to establish charter travel for all teams, like most professional sports franchises, so Stewart wants to help.

We’ve reached the two (minute) week NASCAR warning, folks. Two weeks? TWO WEEKS.
Everybody plan accordingly.
Get those Christmas lights down (yep, mine are still up, too), mow the lawn, tend to the garden, fix the leak under the sink and take your partner out on the town (we don’t judge here), because the 2023 NASCAR season unofficially goes green in two damn weeks.
I say unofficially, of course, because the real season starts Feb. 19 with the Daytona 500. Duh. But, that being said, we will have cars on the track, and drivers in seats at the LA Coliseum in less than 14 days.

If you’re trying to find Braves pitcher Spencer Strider in your program next season, get the number 65 out of your brain.
Strider will be No. 99 this season and it’s a nod to one of baseball’s most legendary fictional pitchers.
That’s right. According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution Braves writer Justin Toscano, Strider will honor Charlie Sheen’s character Rick Vaughn from the 1989 film Major League.

Spencer Strider now wears No. 99. His favorite movie is Major League and likes Rick Vaughn. But Strider also would use No. 99 for his players on MLB The Show.
