Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?? Everyone's talking about the start of the NFL playoffs, but if your team failed to qualify and you just can't bear to watch, there's plenty more on the docket to keep you busy all weekend.

The sports world never takes a vacation. Tonight is no exception with NFL football, a college bowl doubleheader, NCAA basketball and big games in the NBA.

It was the ultimate holiday weekend for NFL and NBA fans. The NFL playoff picture no longer seems like a complex algorithm, and the NBA gave us some major marquee matchups.

Two Midwest teams go for glory, the Celtics look to stretch their streak, the Knicks look to snap their skid, and Boise State and Utah try their luck in Vegas before testing the odds in new conferences.
