Buccaneers' Season Slipping Away: Monday Pick Six
For the second time this week, the Buccaneers lose a close game and virtually destroy their playoff chances. Back to back weeks the Buccaneers were thrust into the national spotlight and in back to back weeks they showed they just aren’t ready for the limelight. Failing to beat division rival New Orleans – who had been eliminated from playoff contention before kickoff – all but put the nail in the coffin of any playoff hopes Bucs fans had while riding high off that five game win streak. Now, th..>> view originalTrump says he's closing foundation, but Democrats want more
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump says he will dissolve his charitable foundation before taking office to avoid conflicts of interest. The Democratic Party says that’s not enough and is calling for the billionaire businessman to put his assets in a blind trust. The New York attorney general’s office has been investigating the foundation following media reports that foundation spending went to benefit Trump’s campaign. A spokeswoman says the foundation cannot close until the i..>> view originalCleveland Browns Victory Scribbles: One win really does matter to this team -- Terry Pluto
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Scribbles in my Cleveland Browns notebook after their 20-17 victory over the San Diego Chargers: 1. There are a lot of good things coming from the Browns winning at least one game this season. Let's start with the team avoiding an onslaught of national media attention this week about how the Browns are a disgrace. You can easily imagine the story lines. 2. I received some emails from fans who liked the idea of a parade for a 0-16 team as a form of protest against the franchi..>> view originalCardinals withstand Seahawks' rally with last-second FG
SEATTLE — It was a basic equation for the Seahawks. Two wins over division foes with losing records would land Seattle the No. 2 seed in the NFC and a coveted playoff bye. With these Seahawks, nothing is that simple. When the Arizona Cardinals are involved, it usually turns into a headache for Seattle. Seattle kicked away its chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a 34-31 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday. Chandler Catanzaro hit a 43-yard field goal on the final play that opened the op..>> view originalPackers move step closer to division title, boot Vikings (Dec 25, 2016)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The resurgent Green Bay Packers moved one win away from another NFC North title. The Minnesota Vikings headed home to stew about missing the playoffs and wasting a 5-0 start to the season. Looking again like a Super Bowl contender, the Packers won their fifth straight game on Saturday by riding another hot start to beat the Vikings 38-25. Up next for the Packers (9-6) is a winner-take-all showdown for the division title against the Lions on New Year’s Day. ”We’re plan..>> view originalTitans sputter, lose Mariota, fall to inspired Jaguars 38-17 (Dec 25, 2016)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Tennessee Titans delivered their worst performance of the year at the most inopportune time. The Jacksonville Jaguars played their best game much later than anyone expected. The result was a 38-17 drubbing that left the Titans (8-7) and Jaguars (3-12) considering what might have been. Blake Bortles played without pressure, able to exhale after popular coach Gus Bradley was fired, and threw for 325 yards and a touchdown. He also was on the receiving end of a 20-y..>> view originalPatriots rolling, Jets faltering as regular season nears end (Dec 25, 2016)
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) Another week, another win, another reason to believe the Patriots are the team to beat in the AFC. New England played it safe in the final two weeks of the regular season a year ago, and it might have cost them a trip to the Super Bowl. But Saturday’s dominating 41-3 win over the Jets put the AFC on notice that the Patriots aren’t in cruise control this time around.

In one city, a win felt a lot like a loss. In another, the losers finally figured out how to win. The Oakland Raiders stayed in the hunt for home-field advantage through the playoffs, but their 33-25 victory over the Colts came at a cost. Their quarterback, Derek Carr, was carted off the field with a broken right leg and is out for the rest of the season. At the other end of the standings, the Cleveland Browns avoided going down in infamy; they beat the Chargers 20-17 for their first victory..>> view originalSources: Sacramento Kings references removed from George Karl's forthcoming book
