Sports is no fun if you don’t know what’s going on. Here’s what’s going on: In today’s segment, I covered:

International Soccer – Sweden vs. Finland in Abu Dhabi, 1:30 p.m. ET surely streaming somewhere.

It’s a very exciting time in the football season for football fans and non-fans alike. There are only three games left! That’s right. This Sunday, the four teams left in the playoffs will play in two semifinal games which are confusingly called the NFC and AFC Championship games, and the winners will go on to play in the Super Bowl on February 1st. To preview this weekend’s action, I asked my friend Brendan to come back on the podcast.
The NFC Championship Game
NFL Football — Sunday, January 18, 2015 — Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks, 3:05 p.m. ET on Fox.
The one thing television commentators are most likely to say about this game.
The one thing we would say if we were television commentators.
The player on each team most likely to be the star if their team wins the game and why. For Seattle, our choices were Marshawn Lynch and Luke Willson. For Green Bay, our choices were Aaron Rodgers and Eddy Lacy.
Who we want to win and who we think is going to win
And much, much more!
