With the NFL playoff picture coming into clearer focus and the NBA proposing drastic changes to its regular season, there are no shortage of things to discuss on this week’s episode of Just Another Sports Podcast. FNP city editor Allen Etzler and sports writer Joe Ferraro join host Greg Swatek this week. The guys discuss the NFL playoff picture, particularly the depth of the NFC. While they wonder if anyone can seriously challenge the Ravens in the AFC, the NFC has three to four teams that all have legitimate hopes of winning the Super Bowl. The guys also talk about changes being proposed for the NBA regular season, including an in-season 30-team tournament that could pay the players of the winning team a million dollars apiece. Do any the proposed changes make sense? What are some of the changes not being discussed that the NBA could make to generate more interest in its regular season? Plus, is there any excitement for the college football bowl season? Did top prospect James Wiseman do the right thing by leaving Memphis to prepare for the NBA draft? And a lead sled dog gets his due.
