Welcome to On the Bubble, a new series where we will profile 8 teams who find themselves right on the March Madness bubble. A new edition will come out weekly up until Selection Sunday. If all goes right, 4 of these teams will make the NCAA tournament, and 4 will just miss it -- although those exact numbers are unlikely.
In recent years, fans of the NFL and NBA have watched the quality of their respective All Star games (whatever they may be named) fall off a cliff. Both sports have played around with different formats, and both have arguably been worse than their predecessors. In lieu of the NBA's most recent crack at it, we will talk about if and how these events can improve.
This offseason, there were 7 NFL teams that hired a new Head Coach. Some were obvious, some were puzzling, but there can be goods and bads found in each. Here, we will rank each one from top to bottom, looking at the fit, and taking a look at what this next season and future seasons could look like.
A brutal first 4 weeks had many Eagles fans reeling, but not the team. They rattled off 12 wins in 13 weeks, grabbing the 2 seed in the NFC, and finally getting the chance to avenge the years of playoff disappointment they have endured since their 2017 Super Bowl win. Saquon Barkley led the way through a foggy NFC playoff picture, but the team mostly dominated, and only looked like they could lose for a couple of minutes in their divisional matchup against the Rams.
Welcome to the worst reality. I personally thought that one Super Bowl matchup was enough, but this year we were (un)lucky enough to get round 2 of Chiefs-Eagles. In the past 10 years, each of these teams have been the overwhelming fan choice against a Tom Brady led team in a Super Bowl. Wow, look how fast times can change. All of the hatred directed at KC and Philly have distracted fans from just how good of a matchup this could be, though. So here, we will take a look at what could decide this year's Super Bowl matchup.
Since Roy Williams' departure following the 2020-21 season, UNC Basketball has quietly shifted their team-building strategy. Previously, like most "blue-bloods," the team relied on an influx of one-and-done players to lead the team each year. Williams retired, and left the keys to the building on the desk of his longtime assistant, Hubert Davis. In the 3.5 years that Davis has been at the helm, he has put a silent yet noticeable emphasis on retaining players for longer periods of time.
With the NBA Trade Deadline approaching on February 6, many teams find themselves with interesting decisions to make for the rest of the season. Some teams will look to develop their young players and make the most of the games they have left, others will look to make a push for the play-in, and many will try to accumulate draft picks for one of the most promising draft classes in recent memory. This article will highlight 11 teams who are in intriguing positions leading up to the deadline.
The Philadelphia 76ers, after signing Paul George in the offseason, find themselves 15-27, on the outside looking in on the play-in picture. A team that, for the past 5 or so seasons, has been considered a lock for the postseason year after year. A team that, for the past 5 or so seasons, has been considered a strong contender for the top 3 seeds year after year. However, this same team, like so many others in the NBA, has been plagued by long-term injuries to key players. In an attempt to preserve their stars' health over the course of the season, the Sixers, like so many others in the NBA, entered the dungeon of load management.

With the first round of the NFL Draft behind us and every pick made, it is time to go over the most head scratching, and the best choices made across the league. Several teams showed their true colors, letting fans know the direction they are headed and what to expect, while others pushed themselves into contention and furthered their chance of taking home the Lombardi Trophy next February.
After years of trouble at the quarterback position following their Super Bowl loss, and even more so following Matt Ryan's departure, the Falcons signed former Vikings QB Kirk Cousins. Despite his season ending Achilles injury, he was still one of the most sought after QBs on the market in the offseason. Directly following their deal, it was viewed as an overpay for an aging Quarterback coming off of an injury and joining a new system. Still, the team made the signing and would have to live with that decision.
