On deck: (6:36) Championship Sunday is on the horizon in the NFL. I'll preview both games, how I see it unfold and predict who'll meet in Super Bowl LX. Also, is there dysfunction in Buffalo? The Bills fire Sean McDermott, leaving the owner and GM with lots to say in the aftermath of jettisoning their former head coach. Plus, the latest coaching hires in the sport. (38:21) The Indiana Hoosiers punctuate their miraculous season with a National Championship on Monday night. Are they one of the best college football teams of all time? (47:03) The Yankees finally get their man, resigning Cody Bellinger to a five year deal, but it's the Mets who make waves by trading for a CF and frontline starter that has their fan base amped up. I'll also share my thoughts on who made it into the Hall of Fame and why I'm perturbed by the addition of CF Andrew Jones. (1:00:43) Is it time to panic if you're a Knicks fan? Well, not after last night's biggest margin of victory in franchise history. I'll peek in to see what's happening there and the rest of the NBA. (1:07:36) The Sharks make a deal. The Sabres sign one of their own to a long term deal and a goalie fight is what's happening on the ice in the NHL. (1:12:43) There isn't much to report down under at the Australian Open. Will it stay that way heading into the weekend? And MUCH MORE in between.
