NFL
This weekend was full of surprises as most of the home teams won their respective games. The only upset win was the New York Giants defeating the #1 seed Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Here are the highlights from this weekend:




With that being said, the final four are the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, and the Baltimore Ravens. Next week will be the determining factor of who will headline the Super Bowl.

WWE
Here are the highlights from the past week:

Misc.
I won't be covering Strikforce MMA anymore since I switched TV providers and I no longer have Showtime. With that being said, there won't be any news on Strikeforce until further notice.


That's all I have to say for now. Have a nice week!!
