It's super. It's wild. It's Super Wild Card Weekend.The expanded NFL playoff field is here to stay, and the 14 teams in it this year are set as we Tyler Glasnow Jersey enter the depths of winter and the wild-card round.MORE: The AFC is headlined by three juggernauts, a couple of upstarts and a stalwart. The Chiefs, Bills and Bengals are the cream of the crop, while the Jaguars, Dolphins and Chargers have returned to the postseason. The Ravens qualified for postseason play for the ninth time during John Harbaugh's tenure.The NFC playoff picture is a bit murkier. While there is a disparity in records, it appears as though the conference is home to true parity entering the postseason. The 14-3 Eagles stand atop the bracket, but even they looked human at times during the regular season.The tournament is underway. Here are the matchups to begin the 2023 NFL playoffs:WILD-CARD PICKS: | There are 14 teams in the NFL playoff field this year. Here are the wild-card weekend matchups and seeds, with the bracket to be finalized after the completion of "Sunday Night Football":AFC Kansas City Chiefs (1, first-round bye) Buffalo Bills (2) vs. Miami Dolphins (7) Cincinnati Bengals (3) vs. Baltimore Ravens (6) Jacksonville Jaguars (4) vs. Los Angeles Chargers (5)NFC Philadelphia Eagles (1, first-round bye) San Francisco 49ers (2) vs. Seattle Seahawks (7) Minnesota Vikings (3) vs. New York Giants (6) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4) vs. Dallas Cowboys (5)NFL POWER RANKINGS: AFCBuffalo Bills (2) vs. Miami Dolphins (7)The Dolphins and Bills split their season series, but injuries played a role in their first meeting. The Bills are coming off an electrifying, emotional win in Week 18 vs. the Patriots in the aftermath of the Damar Hamlin scare. The Dolphins have questions at quarterback: It's unclear whether Tua Tagovailoa Kent Tekulve Jersey (concu sion) will be available for this game.Cincinnati Bengals (3) vs. Baltimore Ravens (6)No coin flip was needed for this one. The NFL was ready with one in case the Bengals lost to the Ravens in Week 18, but Cincinnati took care of busine s and rolled Anthony Brown-led Baltimore. Now, the Ravens should hope that Lamar Jackson's knee is good to go so they can have a fighting chance against their division rival and one of the NFL's hottest squads.Jacksonville Jaguars (4) vs. Los Angeles Chargers (5)Call it Steven Brault Jersey the Salad Bowl: Trevor Lawrence vs. Justin Herbert (and their luscious locks) will be an electric matchup of two of the AFC's top young quarterbacks. The Jaguars turned a suboptimal start to their season into an AFC South crown, which feels like the start of something special for Doug Pederson and Co.MORE: NFCSan Francisco 49ers (2) vs. Seattle Seahawks (7) good. The 49ers haven't skipped a beat despite injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. They gave the keys to Mr. Irrelevant, aka Brock Purdy, to keep them relevant, and relevant have they been. The 49ers locked up the No. 2 seed in the NFC on the strength of an all-world defense and a bevy of offensive skill-position talent. They'll welcome Seattle and Geno Smith, himself a pretty good story, to Santa Clara. The Seahawks are in the fieldby virtue of a Packers lo s in the regular-season finale.MORE:Minnesota Vikings (3) vs. New York Giants (6)The Giants are one of the NFL's most surprising teams. Many expected New York to be hit hard by the rebuilding bug in the first year of the Brian Daboll era, Instead, it secured the No. Roberto Clemente Jersey 6 seed and a trip up to Minnesota. Kevin O'Connell, Kirk Cousins and the Vikings edged the Giants 27-24 in Week 17. New York has a chance at revenge, and the stakes are much, much higher.Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4) vs. Dallas Cowboys (5)The Cowboys were in the NFC East race until Week 18, but a lo s to the Commanders and the Eagles taking care of busine s vs. the Giants meant the late-season rally came up short. The Buccaneers limped along for the majority of the season, but Tom Brady and crew eventually outlasted the rest of a weak division to capture the ttile. This matchup should be incredibly intriguing.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been nominated for an 18th time to win the Ballon d'Or and while he is not favourite to snare the award in 2022 Bill Mazeroski Jersey , he has an extraordinary relationship with it.Through a remarkable career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Sporting Lisbon and his nation Portugal, Ronaldo has been an ever-present contender and winner of the Ballon d'Or alongside his great rival Lionel Me si.The Sporting News looks at Ronaldo's history with the Ballon d'Or the award for best individual footballer of the year.MORE: Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or on five occasions, which is second only to Lionel Me si picking it up seven times.The Portuguese international collected the honour in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.He has also placed second six times (2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2018) and once in third (2019).In 23 years of senior football, Ronaldo has been nominated to win the Ballon d'Or 18 times, with Kevin Newman Jersey 2003 being the last time he wasn't on the final shortlist. While at Manchester United, Ronaldo won his first Ballon d'Or in December 2008 one year after finishing second in the award to Kaka.The then-23-year-old finished comfortably ahead of Me si and Liverpool's Fernando Torres to claim the prestigious award for the first time.By the end of the 2007/08 season, Ronaldo had led Manchester United to the Champions League and Premier League titles, scoring 31 goals in 34 games in the league, and eight in 11 in Europe.He was the first Red Devil to win the Ballon d'Or award since George Best in 1968.MORE: / J-9 / 2008Quand Tlfoot remettait son premier Ballon d'Or Ronaldo Tlfoot (@telefoot_TF1) Ronaldo's most recent Ballon Starling Marte Jersey d'Or triumph came while at Real Madrid in 2017 and it was the second in a row for him.He defeated Me si and PSG's Neymar to win the crown for the fifth time, which saw him equal Me si for Ballon d'Or awards at the time.When the 2016/17 campaign concluded, Ronaldo had scored 25 goals in 25 La Liga matches and 12 goals in 11 Champions Leagues games to lead Real to the league title and their third succe sive Champions League crown.Ronaldo went on Richard Rodriguez Jersey to join Juventus in 2018/19 but he only managed to finish second in the 2018 voting (behind Luka Modric) and third in 2019 (behind Me si and Virgil van Dijk). Ronaldo's great rival Lionel Me si has won the most Ballon d'Or titles with seven two ahead of the current Manchester United striker.The two combatants were neck-and-neck in 2017 when Ronaldo won his fifth Ballon d'Or to draw level with Me si in number of wins (5).However, Me si claimed the award twice more in 2019 and 2021 to move two wins ahead of Ronaldo.Aside from Ronaldo and Me si, only three players have won the award on three occasions: Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten As a nation Portugal has won the Ballon d'Or on seven occasions, with Ronaldo accounting for five of them. The greatEusebio and Luis Figo won the other two.Eusebio snared the award in 1965, while Figo hoisted the Golden Ball in 2000.The seven Ballon d'Or trophies are tied for the most by a single nation alongside Argentina, Netherlands and Barry Bonds Jersey Germany.

Almost every year, the NBA Draft features a prospect who catches fire and starts shooting up draft boards in the weeks leading into draft day.One of the names generating serious buzz in 2022 is Bennedict Mathurin, the Canadian guard who became a household name in the NCAA Tournament, putting on a show to lead Arizona to the Sweet 16.At 6-foot-6, 195 pounds with a reported 6-foot-9 wingspan, Mathurin has the size, length, strength and quickne s to hold his own against any perimeter player in the NBA. Oh, and he's still only 19 years old.Here's a closer look into why Mathurin could hear his name called earlier than expected on draft day.TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS: | | What separates Mathurin as an NBA prospect is his ability to knock down jumpers in a variety of ways, more than comfortable shooting off the bounce but also willing to play off-ball and come off of screens and cuts to free himself up for open Roberto Alomar Jersey looks.Mathurin's jumpshot is clean and confident. He has a quick and high release and doesn't get phased by defenders challenging his shot. He's always looking to stop on a dime and pull up for a jumper almost to a fault at times, forcing contested looks but he's a tough shot-maker.He has the "it" factor, wanting the ball in his hands in big moments, which we saw on this pull-up off the dribble with his team's season on the line in the second round of the NCAA tournament.Mathurin's knockdown jumper plays to his advantage as he's already advanced attacking closeouts. From there, he does not shy away from contact at the basket and uses his elite athleticism and body control to finish amongst the trees. He'll go right at anyone standing between him and the rim, but he has also developed a reliable floater to Keegan Akin Jersey keep rim protectors gue sing.As a playmaker, Mathurin is capable of making simple reads off of the dribble, always willing to take what the defense gives him. If there is too much focus on his ability to score, he shows patience to let plays develop before finding the best way to feed an open teammate.And for how smooth he can be as a scorer with the ball in his hands, it's his work off of the ball that impre ses me the most.Mathurin is incredibly active with a high motor, always moving or cutting Richard Bleier Jersey , making him a headache for opposing defenses. Because he is strong, athletic and physical when he attacks the basket, he has no problem making cuts that lead to tough finishes.We saw that when he threw down the dunk of the tournament against TCU. The finish rightfully turned heads but it all started with his off-ball movement, anticipation and acute awarene s.It's more than just that one play, though. He's always finding open spaces off the ball. Whether it's or , Mathurin is just as much trouble without the ball as he is with it.Even though he projects as a combo guard, I see Mathurin thriving at the next level as more of a shooting guard than a point guard. His ability to create without the ball makes him easier to build around and also elevates his floor should he not hit as a No. 1 option. Mathurin has the tools to be a lockdown perimeter defender but isn't always dialed in. He tends to get too relaxed, coming out of his defensive stance ( ). It has more to do with effort than an actual inability to defend, which could be seen as a pro or a con.When Mathurin is going toe-to-toe with some of the prolific scoring guards in the NBA, he'll have no choice but give it his all in defending at a high level. He can be pesky and annoying on-ball and takes some risks off-ball, but he has a long way to go when it comes to defending endle s pick-and-rolls at the next level.Offensively, he's improving as a pa ser but he still has to fine-tune his handle, as he is more reliant on his first Joey Rickard Jersey step and strength to get by defenders than he is a quick-twitch reactive dribbler to shake his man.I have little doubt about Mathurin's all-around offensive game translating and developing in the NBA, whereas, his defense could be what determines his ceiling as a pro. At the NBA Draft Combine, Mathurin told me he watches a lot of Devin Booker and Zach LaVine on offense and Mikal Bridges and Jrue Holiday on defense. If he comes anywhere close to matching that combination, we're going to look back five years from now and wonder why Mathurin wasn't in serious contention for the No. 1 overall pick.I think Mathurin has shades of LaVine and Celtics guard Jaylen Brown in his game. LaVine has blo somed as an elite crunch-time scorer and is the crown jewel of this summer's free agent cla s. Brown meanwhile is showing off his two-way game as either second or at time first option in the NBA Finals.There's a long history of the best player from a draft emerging from outside the top five. While probably more risky than some of the players projected to go higher than him in the draft, Mathurin oozes star potential and there's a world in which Rio Ruiz Jersey he evolves into the best player in this draft.Would I predict that or bank on it happening? No.Would I be surprised if it did? No.

It's no argument that Tom Brady will end up in the Hall of Fame. The question is, when will his bust be put in Canton?The seven-time Super Bowl champion is already colloquially the "GOAT," but that doesn't mean he gets an expedited pa s into the Hall of Fame. He must wait his turn just as any other football Manny Machado Jersey player.Following his Wednesday retirement announcement, here's what you need to know about when Brady will be put in the Hall of Fame.MORE: Tom Brady will first be eligible for the Cla s of 2028 Hall of Fame inductions.Should this mornings retirement announcement truly be the end of s illustrious career, 2028 is a year worth noting. Pro Football Hall of Fame (@ProFootballHOF) , football players are not deemed eligible until they've been inactive for five consecutive seasons.

Joe Burrow Eric Thames Jersey still has a long way to go as the Bengals starting quarterback to mach everything Tom Brady has done in his NFL career. But that doesn't happened stopped many, including pundits and opponents, from comparing of one today's great young star QBs with the GOAT.Burrow, at 26, is still seeking his first Super Bowl ring with Cincinnati. Brady helped New England win the Super Bowl in his second season at 24 and has since added six more rings and three more AFC championships as he has continued to play through 45.So why would Burrow get the ultimate compliment for a young pa ser so fast? The comparison has everything to do with key similarities, physical and otherwise, not matching accomplishments on an early career timeline.Here's breaking down what has led to the likening of Burrow to Brady:MORE: Burrow stands 6-4, 215 pounds. Brady continues to be listed a 6-4, 225 pounds. They both stand up to their height, tall in the pocket.Brady has developed from a scrawny Combine performer from the University of Michigan into a youth-defying sex symbol. Burrow, going back to his days at Ohio State and LSU, has developed a casual boyish charm built to disarm.Burrow might have more likability now because he hasn't won as much to make opponents as mad, but a younger Brady also beloved as a Aaron Barrett Jersey fresh face of succe s. There's no doubt Burrow looks the part of a GOAT apprentice. Burrow is a better athlete than Brady, but just like Brady, he picks good spots to run when needed, including in the red zone. But for the most part, they are guys who stand in the pocket and pick defenses apart with an arm that can get the ball anywhere downfield.Burrow also might have more the natural arm strength, but Brady developed his deep-ball prowe s through his prime years. Both can get the ball Anibal Sanchez Jersey quickly in a fast-paced attack and also buy extra time with great footwork vs. pre sure. Much of the way in which Burrow surveys the field and goes through progre sions channels Brady. Burrow and Brady are winning leaders who teammates gravitate toward and for home they loving playing well. They are driven to keep getting better to the point what some perceive as perfect isn't good enough. Burrow doesn't have a ring yet, but he already led a prolific offensive-minded team to a championship.Burrow and Brady are the intersection of cockine s at times, but their consistent goal is make their teammates better and put their teams in position to win more often than not. Their grace under any kind of pre sure and ability to avoid any rattling has equal evidence. This can be seen in both Burrow and Brady's eyes.Either has that rare ability to rip an opponent to shreds and Kurt Suzuki Jersey smile about it postgame after the intensity wins. While they are all serious busine s on the field, they don't take themselves too seriously and connect well with key teammates when it's time for amusement.It's no surprise Burrow already has some great relationships with receivers in Cincinnati in the way that Brady has had with Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Chris Godwin and other key targets in New England and Tampa Bay. Burrow may look like a whiz kid. Brady might seem to some as a pretty boy who made the game look easy. But they both have needed to fight through a ton of adversity just look to college to get to the point of having a golden opportunity to be great.Burrow battled some tough competition at Ryan Zimmerman Jersey Ohio State and couldn't earn the Buckeyes starting job. He needed to bide his short time at LSU before the stars aligned with his historic 2019 season.Brady had to work to get on the field vs. hotshot Drew Henson at Michigan. He was overlooked until the sixth round of the draft. He first had to show he belonged in the NFL behind Drew Bledsoe before showing off as a supersub.Burrow and Brady haven't had the same journeys to where they are now and where they're going. But there's no doubt the road on which Brady's has traveled has a clear path also marked by Burrow.
