Weekend winners

NFL. Wow. What theater. And then add in the snow. Every game was great, even the one-sided Lions loss. (Tears, and if you don’t wanna run through a wall for Dan Campbell, then that isn’t a you thing.)

The Dodgers. Wow, not only do the league’s defending champs add the best free agent starting pitcher, they overpay for the best available reliever.

This tennis player who made me pay attention to the Australian Open. Tennis needs villains.
