Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League and secured their 20th top-flight title, but Eddie doubts they'll be able to repeat the feat next season. Wrexham's promotion from League One also puts them one step closer to the Premier League, but the Championship may be their toughest test yet.

The Philadelphia Eagles cruised through the NFC Championship game. However, Eddie and Frank still feel that Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have a lot to be optimistic about after a game that could have been slightly closer. But did we see enough from the Eagles to believe that they can dominate both lines of scrimmage in the Super Bowl? Once again, Josh Allen and the Bills came up short in the AFC Championship game, but did the better team win, and were the Kansas City Chiefs helped out by some questionable officiating? Plus, another controversial decision goes against Arsenal in the Premier League, Eddie hates Gladiator 2, and Severance continues to stutter towards intriguing plotlines.
Previews and predictions for both the AFC and NFC Championship games.

Jayden Daniels has looked good so far, but can his rookie season include an NFC Championship appearance with the Washington Commanders?

And Novak Djokovic may still be dominating on the court, but his recent GQ interview revealed some more kooky health beliefs.
The festive period is over, but Eddie's Christmas period got a little bit better after he managed to talk his way back into some Oasis tickets.

The NFL regular season is nearing its completion and only a handful of teams are left with playoff spots to play for or draft positioning to worry about.

Will the Vikings continue their run against the Packers even if Jordan Love makes his return? And can the Ravens finally win a game against a good team when they face the Bills?
Manchester City and Arsenal battled out a hard-fought 2-2 draw at the weekend, leaving the Premier League title race pretty much unchanged. But Eddie explains why he loved a throwback to old-fashioned football where rivals hated each other and Erling Haaland telling Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side to stay humble.
