With Week 14 of the NFL season nearly in the books, the playoff picture is starting to take shape, with the exception of the AFC Wild Card race, which is just as muddled now as it was in Week 1.

A 96 Team NCAA Tournament? Say it Ain’t So

Weak Side Late Assignment: Our Golden Boy Falls
I’m a little late to the party, but still want to briefly discuss the latest transgressions of Monsieur Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.

Weak Side Late Assignment: Bon Voyage, Al Groh
Little surprise, except possibly the expediency, that Al Groh departs as the head coach of the University of Virginia football program Sunday after what we can assume was a brief conversation with Craig Littlepage and John Casteen. Groh is dismissed with a severance package unlikely surpassed by anybody except Ken Lewis: a $4.3 million buyout [...]
