With the Christmas holiday in our rear view now, it seems like it was years ago that I last watched a college basketball game. Days have been filled with family and food and football to be honest. Sure, there were some NBA games on the other day, but I think we can all agree the NBA isn't really sport anymore. Heck, I'd even argue that WWE Wrestling is more of a sport than the NBA.

It's going to be a short week for many teams in the NFL as they played this weekend and then they have to play on Christmas day. Thankfully, the Lions aren't in that position and they get a little more time to heal. I think we got a bit lucky this past weekend that we had to play Chicago who has been on a bit of a slide lately. If we had another game against a team like Buffalo last week, it might have been a much different outcome this week.

I want to say it was a pretty interesting weekend in terms of the College Football Playoffs, but honestly, I think things went about the way everyone expected them to. At least as far as the end results are concerned. How we actually got there was a little more dicey.

Despite college basketball season starting to get exciting, we need to remember that there are still NCAA football games happening too. In fact, there is probably so much going on this weekend you might not know where to turn to catch all the good stuff. I can't promise you I am going to give you all the hits, but I will do my best.

This past weekend my wife and I got the chance to drive down state and watch two of our nephews play basketball. It was actually a pretty hazardous drive with about a tenth an inch of ice having formed on the roadways overnight. There was a brief moment when I thought it might be wise to call off the trip, but after we got about ten miles down the road, things started to clear up pretty significantly.

It just about figures that by the time I make it to the playoffs I would finally get my third win of the season. Wouldn't you know it, it happened to be against @mrsbozz. I don't know what it is that I always seem to be able to beat the one person that I really don't want to beat in our fantasy league.
