Happy Holidays to everyone, except for the commissioner of my fantasy league, who knocked me out of our playoffs over the weekend. Did I mention that I hate fantasy football? Last week, I think I said that I love fantasy football, but I’ve changed my mind after losing in the playoffs by 1.42 points.

One such game is an NFC North battle between the Green Bay Packers (9-4-1) and the Chicago Bears (10-4).

No one wants to see Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, two of the best players in the game, tear their ACLs on the same day. It’s terrible for the league, and it raises further questions about how teams and players prepare for the season.2) How weird is it to see a Chicago Bears quarterback be run on every highlight reel because of a touchdown pass? Then again, a throw like the one Caleb…
