Christmas Controversy Round 1 Goes To Cavs

109-108 Cleveland wins. The defending NBA Champions came back from a 14 point 4th quarter deficit to knock off the Western Conference Champions. The exclamation point came down one and Cavs put the ball in the hands of NBA Finals hero Kyrie Irving. This time Kyrie scored over Klay Thompson which would prove to be the game winner in Cleveland. The controversy comes from a possible push on Kevin Durant by Richard Jefferson on the games final play. A play which sent KD tumbling to the ground as time expired, not even getting up a shot. During the comeback a dunk and one by Lebron, who hung on the rim with no one underneath him. Yet no technical foul was called. Before the Kyrie game winning shot, an unofficial timeout awarded to Cleveland which the game winning play was drawn up. As the referees went to the monitor for a review. The games within the game.

Kansas City Looking For These Play Makers To Make Them SUPER

Steady Alex Smith anchors the Kansas City Chiefs offense for head coach Andy Reid. Going into the final week of the NFL season if the Chiefs win and Oakland losses, they'll be a reward for KC. AFC West title, 1st round bye and a home playoff game. Needless to say whether its as a 2 seed or lower. For Kansas City to be super as in reaching the Super Bowl, they will need the likes of tight end Travis Kelce and all purpose threat Tyreek Hill to keep producing on offense. Hill as scored more than once this season as a WR, RB and return specialize. Meanwhile Kelce offers flexibility as a match up problem. He can line up inside or outside. Even as a tight end, a defense maybe forced to cover him with a CB opposed to a FS or LB. In the city known for BBQ despite New England being the favorites in the AFC as top seed, the Chiefs can potentially pose a threat in more ways then one.

Mariota + Carr Suffer XMAS EVE Broken Fibula's

Christmas Eve 2016 will be an unfortunate day in the minds of Tennessee Titans fans as well as Oakland Raiders fans. Down in Jacksonville the playoff pursuing Titans loss the game eventually, yet prior to that loss 2nd year quarterback Marcus Mariota. Mariota was tackled from behind and couldn't get up. Eventually he was carted off the field. X-Rays showed a fractured fibula. The Raiders beat the Colts to improve to 12-3 overall. However up 19 during the start of the 4th, while passing Derek Carr a possible MVP candidate was sacked from behind. Carr couldn't get up. He was carted off the field. For Carr X-Rays also showed a fractured fibula. Tennessee was eliminated on Saturday with a Miami win over Buffalo. Meanwhile Sunday Kansas City beat Denver. Which means the AFC West and a potential number two seed with a first round bye in play, will be on the line during the final week of the regular season. A Chiefs win, paired with an Oakland loss would hand KC the accolades mentioned above. Matt Mc Gloin from Penn State will be the quarterback for the foreseeable future in Oakland.
