Who will they bring on as guests for this week’s broadcast? In Week 7, the Manning brothers put together a star-studded guest list featuring Marshawn Lynch, Tom Brady, Sue Bird and Drew Brees that created numerous memorable moments (though nothing topped Lynch, who admitted he had been drinking Hennessy and dropped plenty of profanity during the broadcast).

In Week 13 of a renaissance season, the Browns’ narrative has officially shifted to Johnny Football. No matter how long the 7-5 Browns unexpectedly have stayed in contention for the AFC North title, and no matter how well Brian Hoyer played as the starter for 12 games, this was inevitable. Now, that genie can’t be put back in the bottle, even if Hoyer starts again. The Manziel Watch is on, and it will never stop, even if the Browns go to the playoffs....

Feely told Mad Dog Sports Radio (via the Chicago Tribune) that a lack of leadership from then-coach Marc Trestman and players like Jay Cutler were to blame for Chicago’s 5-11 record.

Sitting at the top of the list as the “luckiest” team in the country: the Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. On one hand, this could be interpreted as a testament to UMBC’s ability to finish off teams in close games, but this could also come off as an indictment of the team’s success this season, implying its nation-leading luck helped get it to the tournament as opposed to anything within its control....
