The McDonald's All-American game is a big deal in the basketball world. It's basically the pipeline of who is next as far as the NBA is concerned.
Change of coordinators is nothing new at Alabama, and as long as Saban is at the wheel of the program, there's a good chance the Tide will be College Football Playoff contenders on a yearly basis.
Blake Corum had himself one heck of a season for the Michigan Wolverines before he injured himself and limped to the finish line. There's plenty of reason to be optimistic about Corum's future, but unfortunately, at least for now, that future is not going to feature his custom 2017 Camaro.
Heupel has gone 18-8 in two years as head coach of the Volunteers. Last season was largely a massive success for the Vols.
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. He was able to come back in the second half and lead his team to a win, but it was bad enough that backup Chad Henne had to take some snaps, and Mahomes was clearly hobbled for the rest of the game.

The Joe Judge and Matt Patricia co-offensive coordinator experiment was a disaster for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Belichick is known for making tough decisions and adjusting quickly when something isn't working, so it's not all that surprising to hear that in the wake of that disaster, "the hoodie" is thinking about going in a more proven direction as offensive coordinator.
The Mavericks have suffered a bit more bad news on the injury front, as it's being reported that another Dallas big man is going to miss time with an injury.
If you're a fan of the South Dakota State Jackrabbits then you undoubtedly know who John Stiegelmeier is. If you're one of those college football fans who only keeps an eye on the bluebloods, though, Stiegelmeier is probably not a familiar name. He should be for all football fans, though, because know him or not, he's a college football legend.
Jeff Saturday went 1-7 as Indianapolis' head coach and led his team to a seven-game losing streak to end the season. Still, for some reason, the Colts are apparently considering him for the full-time gig.

All indications are that the Green Bay Packers want four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers to come back for his 19th NFL season. Whether Rodgers wants to return is another question altogether.
