This was the year that was supposed to mark the end of the NFL, and the playoffs were going to be just a grim autopsy. So what the hell was that on Sunday night?!

US Murph talks to us about a wild weekend of football – full of villains, heroes and chokers – which saw the woe-begone Minnesota Vikings finally fall on the right side of last-second drama.

Watching Stephen Ireland play in the Premier League last night was a blast from the past – but Ken was not impressed at the ‘sunken hulk’ of a once brilliant footballer.

Plus there’s the sad saga of Ken’s bicycle, Dublin’s demise, Giggsy’s speech, and the immaculate reception.
