NFL playoff schedule: Matchups, game dates and times for all rounds and Super ...


NFL Playoff Schedule and Odds

The final day of the NFL regular season did not disappoint.

The AFC playoff picture ended up much different by day"s end than it looked when Sunday kicked off, with the Steelers swiping the No. 6 seed from the Jets and the Broncos vaulting up to the No. 1 overall seed after beating the Chargers and seeing New England lose in Miami.

Over in the NFC, the Seahawks put the whole league on notice with a 36-6 stomping of NFC West champion Arizona. Seattle will be a wild-card team that no one wants to play. The Panthers won to move to 15-1 and locked up home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.

Sunday night"s de facto NFC North championship game went to the Minnesota Vikings. That means the Vikings get the No. 3 seed and will host the Seattle Seahawks next week. The Green Bay Packers go on the road to Washington to face the Redskins.

The playoff game dates, times and TV information are all below.

Miranda Lambert reportedly dating singer Anderson East


Anderson East - Devil In Me - 3/20/15 - Riverview Bungalow (OFFICIAL)

Miranda Lambert may not ring in the New Year as a single lady.

The 32-year-old country singer has reportedly been dating Americana/R&B singer Anderson East for the past month following her split from husband, Blake Shelton, in July.

"They are really enjoying each other"s company," a source told Us Weekly. According to the magazine, the new lovebirds are also planning to spend New Year"s Eve together.

East -- real name Michael Cameron Anderson -- is a relative unknown in comparison to Lambert"s previous relationships. He hails from Athens, Alabama, and came up on the country music scene in Nashville after paying his dues as a session musician. According to his Instagram profile, the 27-year-old enjoys hobbies like playing music and hunting. He also recently appeared on "Late Night With Seth Meyers."

According to friends of Lambert, Easton is a good fit for her and a nice way for her to get back onto the dating scene.

Lambert and Shelton, who dated for six years before getting hitched in a country-themed wedding in 2011, announced their divorce in July with a joint statement: "This is not the future we envisioned. And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately."

Since their split, Shelton has moved on with his fellow "The Voice" coach Gwen Stefani. They have been happily sharing PDA-filled snaps and even spent the holidays together at Shelton"s Oklahoma home.

Lambert also enjoyed a nice holiday, but caught backlash from fans after showing off a new fur coat she got from her grandma.

Bad press over the coat aside, it"s nice to see Lambert back on the dating scene and hopefully this new man is the perfect rebound.

Injuries to hamper Warriors" run?


Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets | Full Game Highlights | 2015-16 NBA REGULAR SEASON (60fps)

For now, Saturday night doesn"t leave a huge void in the Golden State Warriors" season. Stephen Curry left the game after re-injuring his sore shin when it got knocked when trying to navigate some screens and stay in front of Jameer Nelson against the Denver Nuggets. Curry was subbed out at the 2:16 mark of the second quarter when he was noticeably limping, and never returned.

The result of the injury was a fascinating look into what may lie ahead for the Warriors in their pursuit of the best record in NBA history, the 72-10 Chicago Bulls. The Warriors want this record and they"ve been pretty adamant about finding the requisite motivation in order to be up for all of these games in a way that does harken back to the insane competitive nature of Michael Jordan. But when you take away that team"s M.J., does such a feat become impossible to attain or even approach?

Golden State is currently 31-2, which is still the best start in NBA history. They"re still one game ahead of that Bulls team, which was 30-3 after 33 games. To keep up with this pace, the Warriors can"t miss Curry for too many games. Per Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated, the Warriors are now 74-9 in their previous 83 regular-season games in which Curry plays. They need Curry to play if they want to be historical.

Luckily for them, this is a bit of a light week until Friday. They have Sunday off before facing the Charlotte Hornets on Monday at home and the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Then they have Wednesday and Thursday off before a back-to-back with Portland and Sacramento. That"s a relatively light schedule until Friday to allow the injury to heal up. Can they get by if Curry misses just one of those games against Charlotte or Los Angeles? What if he misses both?

Draymond Green has stepped up in Curry"s absence after a poor showing against Dallas (11 points, nine rebounds, four assists, 4-of-15 shooting). He rebounded against Houston for a 10-point, 11-rebound, 16-assist performance the next night before following that up Saturday night against Denver with 29 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists, and four steals. While it"s not easy for Green to put up these crazy numbers, even though it"s his sixth triple-double of the season and second back-to-back triple-double of the season, Green instantly becomes the Warriors" leader on the court when Curry is out.

The problem though is how much focus can they retain and foster when Curry is out? They nearly blew a 26-point lead at home against a Denver team that isn"t very good, escaping with an overtime victory. The team has been without Harrison Barnes since November 27 due to an ankle sprain. Leandro Barbosa has missed four straight games with a sprained shoulder. Festus Ezeli has a foot injury.

People don"t want to see players get injured, but this is the test the Warriors are facing now, which they avoided last season when they were healthy. That"s when they won 67 games and marched to a title. That"s when the question of whether or not they were lucky crept up and fueled them to this blistering start to the season. And this is what befalls so many seemingly great teams looking to challenge what the Bulls did in 1995-96.

The grind of the season comes with bumps in the road. Jordan was able to play all 82 games for the Bulls that season, but Scottie Pippen missed five games, Dennis Rodman missed 18 games, and Luc Longley missed 20. Enduring injuries is one thing, but enduring injuries while challenging history seems almost futile.

Curry could be back next game and not miss another contest this season. Or this shin injury might take some time to fully heal, and cause an absence far more times than the Warriors are hoping to see. It"s not the end of the world. If things fall apart in this pursuit of the all-time, they can still end up with the best record in basketball and march to a second title. You just don"t get to see history challenged all that often and this Warriors team seemed to have the right kind of motivated to keep challenging.

How many games will the Warriors miss Steph Curry? (USATSI)

Saoirse Ronan praises "the power of Ryan Gosling" for teaching people how to ...


Eva Mendes Talks Heritage, Ryan Gosling Changing Diapers | TODAY

This article originally appeared on PEOPLE.com.

Saoirse Ronanis confirming what weve always suspected.

At the 2016 Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala on Saturday, the Brooklyn actress, 21, sang the praises of Ryan Gosling to PEOPLE, noting that no one could pronounce her Irish name (Ser-sha) until the actor intervened.

Presenting Ronan with the New Hollywood Award at the Hollywood Film Awards in November, Gosling said, Its Ser-sha, like inertia and suddenly, people started pronouncing her name correctly.

Someone sent me a photo two weeks later of a cinema in Minnesota, and on the sign in the front it said Brooklyn and then underneath it said, Ser-sha, Like Inertia, Ronan tells PEOPLE. I couldnt believe it! They actually put it on the front of the cinema, so the power of Ryan Gosling is stronger than anything else.

While presenting her award, Gosling had also called Ronan one of his favorite actresses and people. The feeling is clearly mutual.

Hes like, Jesus or something, like a blond Canadian Jesus, Ronan tells PEOPLE.

The Irish starlet learned of her Golden Globe nomination Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for her role as an Irish immigrant in Brooklyn while she was at the nail salon.

I was in the nail salon getting my nails done and my phone kept dinging, but I couldnt answer because my nails were wet. When I finally answered, I got the news, she previously told PEOPLE, noting that she shrieked with excitement. I told everyone at the salon. They were congratulating me, and we even popped champagne.

What"s trending in the NFL: Eagles interview familiar face for coaching job


"96 Carolina/Clemson game-Duce Staley highlights

Here are the top stories from Saturday:

Running backs coach Duce Staley interviews for Eagles" vacant coaching position

From Mike Triplett"s fantasy football mailbag, on whether Cam Newton or Carson Palmer should be started in Week 17: "You can"t possibly bail on Cam Newton or Carson Palmer now that they"ve brought you this far, right? Actually, I do see the dilemma here -- mostly because I think Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan should have big games themselves. Roethlisberger"s playoff life is on the line, and he"s facing a vulnerable Cleveland Browns defense. Meanwhile, Ryan is facing a New Orleans Saints defense that has already set the NFL record for touchdown passes allowed in a season (43). So I wouldn"t blame anyone for "playing it safe" and going with those guys in these scenarios."

Raiders defensive back Charles Woodson says he has no regrets as he approaches his final NFL game.

From James Walker"s story on the chances that Olivier Vernon is playing his final game with the Dolphins on Sunday: "Miami has a lot of issues facing the team this offseason, including a tight salary cap and major changes looming on the coaching staff. Vernon, who is 25 and entering the prime of his career, certainly won"t come cheap. He is tied for the team lead with seven sacks and has 28.5 sacks in four seasons. There should be plenty of teams interested in that kind of production on the open market."

From Rich Cimini"s mailbag, on possible salary-cap casualties for the Jets: "The biggest name, of course, is Antonio Cromartie. Why him? He"ll be 32 and he"s an easy cut because of the way his contract is structured. He has three years left on his deal, but none of it is guaranteed. His cap charge for 2016 is $8 million, and they can wipe the entire amount from the cap by releasing him -- and I believe they will. Cromartie has played better in recent weeks, but I wonder how much of that is due to the competition. "

Gisela Mota y el drama de los municipios


Sicarios asesinan a Gisela Mota, alcaldesa de Temixco, Morelos/ Atalo Mata

04 de Enero de 2016

Mal inicia la semana para el que ahorcan en lunes, dice el refrn. Podramos ampliarlo, sin embargo: mal inicia el ao para el pas que vuelve a la pesadilla de los crmenes polticos, mal inicia el ao para las economas mundiales cuando la titular del FMI seala que las previsiones son desalentadoras, mal inicia el ao para la estabilidad internacional cuando, con las amenazas de atentados terroristas en varios pases todava frescas, Arabia Saud e Irn rompen relaciones diplomticas por motivos religiosos.

Intolerancia, violencia, egosmo llevado al extremo. Sin importar que se trate de una cuestin de f, como en el caso del clrigo chita ejecutado en das pasados; una cuestin econmica, como el perverso juego entre los precios del petrleo y las tasas de inters, que pareciera tener destinatarios concretos, o de una cuestin sobre poltica y la falta de capacidad, o de voluntad, para lidiar con el crimen organizado. En todos los casos, como siempre, quien pierde es el ciudadano comn.

Lo que est pasando en Morelos no es sino un reflejo de lo que ocurre en el resto del pas. Y es terrible: mientras que los polticos se enfrascan en discusiones estriles, la gente sigue muriendo, el desarrollo se detiene, la desconfianza sigue creciendo. La gente simplemente ha dejado de creer en las instituciones del Estado y en su capacidad para hacer frente a los retos que afectan a la sociedad. Y no es para menos: quien tendra que estar gobernando el estado ha sido rebasado por los problemas que debera de resolver, mientras sigue su propia agenda y alimenta sus propias e irreales ambiciones; quien tendra que estar festejando goles, comentando deportes, o atendiendo sus restaurantes, es ahora el alcalde de una de las ciudades ms complicadas del pas, y no tiene idea de cmo hacerlo.

Lo mismo que pasa en otros estados, con gobernadores ambiciosos y alcaldes sin preparacin. Ramrez y Blanco no son casos aislados, sino el eptome de un sistema poltico corrupto y alejado de la ciudadana en las intenciones y en los hechos. El cobarde asesinato de Gisela Mota llena de espanto y zozobra ms an, si cabe, por ser mujer, y es un aviso que debe ser atendido no slo por las autoridades, sino por la sociedad entera. Hemos pasado el momento de las declaraciones, de los operativos espectaculares, de los planes de contingencia. En realidad nada ha cambiado: la inseguridad no disminuye, la desigualdad se acrecienta, la desconfianza campea y se extiende sin control. Siendo realistas, es poco lo que pueden hacer las autoridades para regresar la calma a la sociedad si sta no se involucra directamente en la solucin.

Lo ocurrido en Temixco nos marca el camino: los municipios son la base de la estructura social y, sin embargo, es en su interior donde se alojan los vicios propios de la gestin improvisada. La autoridad municipal es quien tiene el contacto ms cercano con la gente, y donde por lo general comienzan los actos de corrupcin y los abusos de poder. Es quien conoce lo que pasa de primera mano, es quien puede tomar las decisiones que inciden de inmediato en la confianza de los ciudadanos. Es, tambin, quien se encuentra sujeto a la amenaza cotidiana del crimen organizado.

En este momento, el reto para el Estado mexicano, en su conjunto, es la creacin de una sociedad ms inclusiva, en la que los individuos y colectivos sociales puedan participar en la construccin de la paz y expresar su opinin en un marco de respeto irrestricto a los derechos humanos. Y no puede ocurrir sino a nivel municipal. Es urgente, y es la nica salida: es tiempo de entender que no llegaremos a ningn lado a menos de que rememos, todos, en la misma direccin.
