The sky is falling. The sky is falling. The NFL wraps up the regular season. And check out the African Amputee Soccer Championships.

Here in Iowa we're home to the first in the nation caucuses. If you've never been here during the political onslaught, here is a little taste of what it is like. Hit record on your DVR on the most annoying commercial you can find. Then for every commercial break for the next week play that commercial and only that commercial over and over.

You see, as first in the nation we get ads from every candidate and every backer of the candidate. It is relentless. It is worse than the damn Lexus Christmas commercial. We're all real happy you got your wife/husband a Lexus. Take your song and car and get the hell off my TV. You want to see the kind of crap we have to deal with...



College Football

The Iowa Hawkeyes not only had to deal with No. 14 Oklahoma, but also ESPN cameras.



Always good to see a statue of liberty play, even if it is Auburn.



Does any coach yell at his players more than Brian Kelly? After the loss to Florida State Kelly promoted former Iowa DB Bobby Diaco to assistant head coach.

Yardbarker.com has a great article on defunct bowl games. Anyone remember the Cigar Bowl?

NFL

Packers 45, Lions 41 -Aaron who? Matt Flynn, started for Aaron Rodgers, set team records for yards, 480 and touchdowns 6. How pissed are Detroit fans and players? You think you'll get an easier game against the Pack before the playoffs and Matt Flynn comes in and destroys your D. Have fun against Drew Brees next week.

Eagles 34, Redskins 10 - Quick what is the Eagles final record? Can you believe 8-8? Me either, but they win their final four to finish .500.

Chargers 38, Raiders 26 - All the Raiders had to do is win - at home - against the already eliminated San Diego Chargers. Wow, what a dud. A win for Norv as he is handed his walking papers.

Ravens 24, Bengals 16 - The Ravens secure a home field playoff game with the win.

Chiefs 7, Broncos 3 - Romeo Crennel has made a strong case for the full time head coaching position in Kansas City. It was also very nice to see Kyle Orton get over on his former mates.

Jaguars 19, Colts 13 - Ummm, Colts get the first pick.

ESPN listed the 2012 NFL Draft order for the 20 non-playoff qualifiers. 1. Indianapolis Colts 2-14 .539 2. St. Louis Rams 2-14 .590 3. Minnesota Vikings 3-13 .559 4. Cleveland Browns 4-12 .531 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-12 .551 6. Washington Redskins 5-11 .477 7. Jacksonville Jaguars 5-11 .500 8/9. Carolina Panthers* 6-10 .504 8/9. Miami Dolphins* 6-10 .504 10. Buffalo Bills 6-10 .520 11/12. Kansas City Chiefs* 7-9 .512 11/12. Seattle Seahawks* 7-9 .512 13. Arizona Cardinals 8-8 .469 14. Dallas Cowboys 8-8 .473 15. Philadelphia Eagles 8-8 .488 16. New York Jets 8-8 .500 17. Oakland Raiders 8-8 .504 18. San Diego Chargers 8-8 .516 19. Chicago Bears 8-8 .527 20. Tennessee Titans 9-7 .563
