Jimmy Garoppolo laments not being there for 49ers: 'I wish I had a helmet'

It would have been nice had the San Francisco 49ers had Jimmy Garoppolo's services in the NFC Championship game when Brock Purdy went down with an elbow injury. Of course, had Garoppolo been available San Francisco likely would not have found out what it potentially has in the 262nd pick in the 2022 draft, but that's all hypothetical at this point.

Ohio State is bringing back a legend, James Laurinaitis, back to Columbus

LSU accidentally overpaid Brian Kelly by more than $1 million in 2022

One could say that Kelly earned his money in his first season at LSU, but he apparently got paid a little bit too much.

Many thought the Bills were the hands-down favorite to win the Super Bowl this season.

Mahomes is questionable with a right ankle injury. Mahomes suffered the injury in the first half of Kansas City's 27-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional round.
