NFL – Bills try to clinch AFC East against Bears, eye  No. 1 seed

  The Buffalo Bills can clinch their third straight AFC  East title when they meet the Bears in frigid Chicago on Saturday. And a No. 1  seed playoff seed is in sight. The Bills clinched their fourth straight playoff  berth with last week’s win over Miami and would lock up the division with a win  or tie against Chicago. A loss or tie by the Dolphins against Green Bay would  also do it. Buffalo has the inside track toward the top seed in the AFC.  Saturday’s game won’t be easy with the National Weather Service predicting a  high of 10 degrees with gusting wind.

NFL – Lions at 7-7, Panthers at 5-9 are fighting for  playoff spots

  Jared Goff has the surging Detroit Lions in contention  for a wild card spot. Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers still have plenty  to play for as well, despite a 5-9 record. The teams clash in Charlotte on  Saturday in a game that will impact NFC playoff scenarios. The Lions have won  six of their last seven games and are just a half-game behind Washington in the  race for the final wild card spot. The Panthers are coming off a home loss to  the Pittsburgh Steelers, but still control their playoff destiny. If they win  out, they’ll win the NFC South title and host a playoff game in January.

NFL – Bears CB Johnson questionable for Bills game  with injury

  Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is  questionable for Saturday’s game against the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills because  of a ring finger injury. Johnson was limited in practice on Thursday after  being a full participant the previous day. Assuming he plays, Johnson has  another tough assignment facing Stefon Diggs after going against Philadelphia’s  A.J. Brown last week. Brown had nine receptions for a career-high 181 yards.  Johnson made him work for it and broke up a season-best three passes. 

NFL – NFL ‘Sunday Ticket’ headed to YouTube beginning  next season

  The NFL has announced a multiyear agreement with  Google for “NFL Sunday Ticket.” The package of out-of-market Sunday afternoon  games will be distributed on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels. The NFL  was seeking $2.5 billion per season for the package, which has been on DirecTV  since 1994. The satellite provider has paid $1.5 billion per year on an  eight-year contract that expires at the end of this season. Besides Amazon,  Apple and ESPN also expressed interest in “NFL Sunday Ticket.”

NCAAFB – Michigan’s Oluwatimi endured a heavy heart in  standout year

  Michigan center Olu Oluwatimi lost three friends and  former teammates at Virginia and four days later, his father had surgery to  remove a brain tumor. Oluwatimi endured the heartache and finished off a  college football season that was better than his dreams. The graduate transfer  wasn’t surprised the Wolverines had a successful season and that he won the  Rimington Award as the college football’s best center. Oluwatimi didn’t expect  to become the first Michigan player to win the Outland Trophy, which recognizes  the top interior lineman on either side of the ball. Michigan plays TCU in the  Fiesta Bowl for a shot a national title.

NCAA – Records: Ishbia pledged $14M to MSU on top of  bigger gift

  Under court order, Michigan State University has released  records related to multimillion-dollar donations by two wealthy alumni.  Mortgage executive Mat Ishbia pledged $14 million to MSU a year ago, on top of  a $32 million gift announced earlier in 2021. The documents don’t reveal much  that’s new. But Michigan State nonetheless fought their disclosure in a public  records lawsuit filed by the Detroit Free Press. The newspaper won. Ishbia  played on Michigan State’s 2000 national championship basketball team. He’s now  in line to buy a majority stake in the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury for $4  billion.

MLB – White Sox  acquire reliever Santos from San Francisco

  The Chicago White Sox  have acquired reliever Gregory Santos from the San Francisco Giants for minor  league pitcher Kade McClure. Santos has made five appearances over the past two  years for San Francisco. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 4.63 ERA over 35  appearances between Triple-A Sacramento and the Arizona Complex League Giants  Black last season. He has a 3.56 ERA over 97 appearances, including 44 starts,  in six minor league seasons with the San Francisco and Boston organizations.  The 28-year-old McClure has a 4.03 ERA over 108 games and 59 starts in five  minor league seasons with the White Sox.

MLB – AP source: Cubs,  C Tucker Barnhart agree to $6.5M contract

  The Chicago Cubs have  bolstered their defense again, agreeing to a contract with Gold Glove-winning  catcher Tucker Barnhart. A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the  deal to the AP on condition of anonymity because it was pending a successful  physical. Barnhart’s deal includes a $3.25 million salary for 2023 and a $3.25  million player option for 2024. The agreement includes escalators and  performance bonuses that could make it worth $9.5 million over two seasons. The  addition of Barnhart comes one day after the Cubs finalized a $177 million,  seven-year contract with All-Star shortstop Dansby Swanson.
