Baker Mayfield Jersey

Bob Costas won’t be working the Super Bowl for NBC next month.
The longtime broadcaster was not included in the network’s lineup for the NFL title game telecast from Minneapolis on Feb. 4 Donte Jackson Panthers Jersey , leading to speculation that Costas’ comments about head injuries in football might have affected the decision.
Dan Patrick and Liam McHugh will host the broadcast.
An NBC Sports spokesperson said: ”Dan and Liam have served as hosts for our NFL pregame/studio shows on Sunday nights and Thursday nights, respectively,
throughout the season and will continue on Super Bowl Sunday.”
Costas said: ”Dan and Liam have done the job hosting NBC’s NFL coverage all season. It wouldn’t be right for me to parachute in and do the Super Bowl.”
When he stepped down as host of the Olympics last February, Costas was expected to keep his Super Bowl duties because Mike Tirico, his Olympic
replacement, would be in South Korea.
Costas hosted NBC’s Super Bowl pregame coverage in 1986, 1989, 1993, 2009 Kerryon Johnson Lions Jersey , 2012 and 2015.
During an appearance at the University of Maryland in November, he said of football: ”the reality is that this game destroys people’s brains.”

A look at the NBA playoff picture, with two days remaining in the regular season and now only one berth left to be decided:
THE SCENARIOS
The NBA says there are 56 possible seeding scenarios still in play going into the final two days of the regular season.
All but one of the 16 playoff spots has been clinched, with the Minnesota-Denver game on Wednesday deciding the final berth in the postseason.
But going into Tuesday, the next-to-last day of the regular season, only five of
the 16 seeds have been wrapped up.
If Portland beats Utah, the Blazers finish No. 3 in the Western Conference. The Jazz could also reach No. 3, but could fall as far as No. 7 depending on the
outcome of other games. And here’s how confusing some of the tiebreakers are:
Even the NBA needed to correct itself after originally saying the Portland-Utah
winner would finish No. 3, no matter what.
San Antonio Baker Mayfield Jersey , Oklahoma City and New Orleans could all be anywhere from fourth through eighth in the West. Minnesota would finish anywhere
from fifth through eighth if it tops Denver, and the Nuggets – if they beat the
Timberwolves – will be fifth, sixth or seventh.
Houston is No. 1 in the West, followed by Golden State at No. 2. The clinched East seeds are No. 1 Toronto, No. 2 Boston and No. 5 Indiana.
Philadelphia and Cleveland will be No. 3 and No. 4 in the East, in some order. Going into Tuesday, Milwaukee, Miami and Washington all could finish
either sixth, seventh or eighth in the East.
WEST UPDATE
The playoffs start Wednesday.
Officially DJ Moore Youth Jersey , that’s not true. But the Denver at Minnesota game on Wednesday night may as well be considered a play-in game: Winner moves on, loser
goes home.
Monday started with four spots available out West, and ended with only one still unclaimed. New Orleans, San Antonio and Oklahoma City all won to clinch
their playoff berths – the Spurs doing so for the 21st consecutive year, tying
Portland for the second-longest run in NBA history and moving one shy of tying
Philadelphia’s league record (which started when the 76ers were the Syracuse
Nationals).
The funny part about Monday’s triple-clinchings is that nothing changed in the standings. The order of the top eight remains the same, going into the
next-to-last day of the regular season.
It won’t stay that way. Get ready for craziness. Oklahoma City can remain No. 7 in the West, but only if it loses to Memphis (and a lot of other things
happen).
All we really know is this: Wednesday night will be great fun.
EAST UPDATE
Cleveland won the Central Division and locked Indiana into the No. 5 seed with a win at New York.
Milwaukee is now up to No. 6 in the East, flip-flopping spots with now-No. 7 Miami. The Bucks beat Orlando, while the Heat could get nothing going and got
routed in the fourth quarter on the way to losing to the Thunder.
The Bucks wrap up No. 6 with a win at Philadelphia on Wednesday night. But the 76ers will go into the final day with a chance at the No. 3 spot Roquan Smith Jersey , regardless of whether they win in Atlanta on Tuesday.
TUESDAY’S GAMES
– Charlotte at Indiana: No playoff impact, Pacers will be the No. 5 seed.
– Philadelphia at Atlanta: Philadelphia can be No. 3 seed by winning last two, and stretching its winning streak to 16.
– Boston at Washington: A potential first-round matchup if Wizards finish seventh. Washington can also be No. 6 or No. 8.
– Golden State at Utah: Jazz still could get to the No. 3 seed. Warriors could be first NBA team with 30 road wins in three straight seasons.
– Phoenix at Dallas: No playoff impact, Suns have clinched NBA’s worst record.
– Houston at L.A. Lakers: No playoff impact, Lakers aiming for winning home record.
CURRENT BRACKET
First-round matchups if the season ended Monday …
East: 1-Toronto vs. 8-Washington, 2-Boston vs. 7-Miami, 3-Philadelphia vs. 6-Milwaukee, 4-Cleveland vs. 5-Indiana.
West: 1-Houston vs. 8-Minnesota, 2-Golden State vs. 7-Oklahoma City Kolton Miller Jersey , 3-Portland vs. 6-San Antonio, 4-Utah vs. 5-New Orleans.
NOTE OF THE DAY
Neither Denver nor Minnesota has ever missed the playoffs in a 46-win season. One will this year.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
”We know we can beat anybody when we’re playing our best.” – Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook, after the Thunder clinched their spot.
