Silva: Each NFL team enters the offseason with a series of pressing needs. Sometimes a team can address them all, sometimes they ignore them all. But if a team's smart, they'll listen to us. These are the most crucial aspects for NFC teams.
SportsTalk: Albert Pujols signs with the Angels and Prince Fielder joins the Tigers. Which team is better now?

Arc's five up, five down: After No. 11 Michigan State's 58-48 upset of No. 3 Ohio State, you'd be a fool to discount the Spartans' national title chances now.
Miami coach Al Golden says the worst is behind him, but his headaches figure to continue now that former booster Nevin Shapiro, now in jail, says his involvement with the Hurricanes program will result in stiff penalties.
Eleven shots separated Phil and Tiger Sunday at Pebble Beach as Lefty secured his 40th Tour win. Jason Sobel had hole-by-hole reports.

Robins: It’s the Year of the Dragon on the Lunar calendar, and this Chinese influence could extend to it also being the year of the Pekingese on the green carpet at the 136th Westminster Dog Show on Tuesday.
Scott Gomez scored a goal on Thursday for the first time since Feb. 5, 2011.
That's an awfully long scoring slump for a man who earned $8 million in 2010-11 and is making $7.5 million this season. We can't recommend owning Gomez in standard leagues.
Max Pacioretty registered his first NHL hat trick in a 4-2 win over the Islanders Thursday night.
Pacioretty registered the first hat trick of his NHL career and also reached the 20-goal mark for first time. At 5 vs 5, Pacioretty now has 2 more points than Claude Giroux, and only trails NHL point leader Evgeni Malkin by 9 points. He has been the Canadiens best player this season. Good job if you were able to scoop him up in the late stages of your draft or on the waiver wire.
Carey Price allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Canadiens' 4-2 win over the New York Islanders Thursday night.
Price has all the tools to be the best goaltender in the league and his mental focus just seems on getting better and better. With his consistent strong play, Price has given Montreal a chance to win every night and remains a very viable No. 1 goalie in fantasy leagues. With the win tonight, his record improves to an unspectacular 20-19-8 but his peripherals are excellent and that's why he's a top-ten goalie in fantasy hockey.
Montreal summoned Aaron Palushaj from the minors on Wednesday.
In 17 appearances with big club this year, the 22-year-old winger has contributed just one assist and 12 shots on goal.
Michael Blunden is projected to be out of action for four-to-six weeks after he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday.
He was hurt last week in New Jersey after he was hit into the boards by Devils forward Patrik Elias. Blunden has two goals and one assist in 28 games with the Canadiens.
Raphael Diaz is slated to return to the lineup on Thursday after missing the past two games with the flu.
He will likely take the place of Yannick Weber, who is day-yo-day with a lower-body injury. Diaz has registered 15 points in 49 games during his rookie season in 2011-12.
Andrei Markov skated for another 40 minutes on Wednesday before practice, as he continues to recovery from a knee injury.
He attempted to push his knee a little more in the session than he did on Tuesday by working on his turns and he appeared to be alright with the change. It's still unclear when he will be available to play again though.
Zambia has won the African Cup of Nations, beating pre-tournament favorite Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties in a dramatic final at Stade de l'Amitie.
Wesseling: Each NFL team enters the offseason with a series of pressing needs. Sometimes a team can address them all, sometimes they ignore them all. But if a team's smart, they'll listen to us. These are the most crucial aspects for AFC teams.
After leading by 18 points in the first half, the Los Angeles Lakers were staring at a four-point deficit with less than two minutes to play.
