MC: Fiction. As much as we would all like competition in the football space on consoles, this just isn't going to happen. League licensing, player licensing, the actual money and development time needed to make a console football game are a few reasons why. I think it will be a PC/mobile game in it's first iteration with the possibility to one day enter the console space if the appetite is there. But Joe Montana Football won't be competing with Madden this year for console gamers' dollars.

CB: Uh? Uh? What is life? Fa-iction? It's a fascinating story to follow because there's just breadcrumbs and guesses from there so really I have no idea. I assume the folks making this game would love this be a console release that competes with Madden. I also assume garnering the proper amount of funding to do such a thing can't be easy. Also, I don't know what we're defining "compete" as in this scenario. Would it compete in sales out of the gate? No. Would it compete in that it's an alternative football title on consoles? Yes.

BV: Fiction. I want to believe. I really do. But the fact of the matter is there is almost zero chance that the game has the funding to really compete with a AAA title like Madden. In fact, I'd be surprised if that's even the game's intention. As more info begins to trickle out, I'm sure we'll have our answer - but as it stands, I'm hesitant to be too optimistic.

#4: It is time for the NBA to quit doing the playoffs by East/West due to the divisional imbalance and instead take the top 16 teams regardless of division.

MC: Fiction. I'm a bit of an NBA purest, so this suggestion rubs me the wrong way. The East vs. West nature of the entire build-up to the Finals is part of that. To me, if we're gonna do away with the division system for the playoffs, then we need to make the schedule even so that every team plays every other team the same amount of times. That's the only fair way to determine who the 16 teams are that make the playoffs each year. I think the recent discussion about this in the media and by Adam Silver is an overreaction. Things will eventually balance back out and the East will be a more competitive conference. If something is to be done, then perhaps it's a re-alignment at best.

CB: Fact. However, there's a catch. East teams would never sign off on just doing the top 16 teams, so it's not as simple as simply keeping everything the same but just saying "now the top 16 go to the playoffs, fixed." You also can't have just a single mega conference. Instead, you would still need to break the NBA into groups of teams for travel purposes, but also balance the schedule so it's almost entirely equal in terms of everybody playing everybody else. I would think something that fuses both the current NHL and NFL landscapes together would have to be how it works, and one of the most convincing versions of this outline I've seen comes from SBNation's Tom Ziller.

BV: Fact. It would behoove the NBA to get the best 16 teams in a playoff and have them duke it out from there. Let's put it this way: Right now, Golden State (widely considered to be the best team in the NBA, and also has the best record) would play Oklahoma City in the first round. The Hawks (who have a worse record with an easier schedule) would get to play the Nets. Something needs to change.

#5: Adrian Peterson will be a Dallas Cowboy next season.

MC: Fact. Jerry Jones loves superstar players. Adrian Peterson wants to be a Cowboy. Jerry is going to find a way to get this done, even if he has to trade his draft away. I truly believe that AP will be suiting up in the blue and sliver next season. It's just a matter of how he gets there in my mind.

CB: Fact. Jerry Jones gonna Jerry Jones. At the same time, Jerry Jones has also shown he can be very loyal at times, and on some level it would be a mega heel move to run DeMarco Murray into the ground, low-ball him and then let that be the end of his time in Dallas -- only to replace him with Peterson in the end. I know Jones recently talked about wanting DeMarco back now, so who knows maybe the Peterson angle is just a negotiating tactic. Cowboys gonna Cowboys.

BV: Fiction. It is a fun thing to muse over, but chances are the Cowboys will re-sign Murray and focus on building a better defense. That being said, it's not impossible. Peterson has the same kind of talent and will come much cheaper. But with the Dez Bryant mystery video likely to gain traction over the next month or so, I'm not sure the Cowboys want more than one huge controversy on their hands.
