Lesson learned today: Conference finals are important. Unless teams the playoff committee likes lose one. Or a team it doesn't like win one.

The Trump administration’s immigration raids might fly with political operatives like Corey Lewandowski and Stephen Miller. But cops we talked to said the lack of professionalism by Bovino’s agents in Chicago endangered the public and the agents

I’m pretty sure Greg McElroy argued tonight that if you left Bama out, a future team would *refuse to play* in their conference championship game
and now I want them to leave Bama out just to see someone try that
