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?

Kobe Bryant hit a baseline jump shot with 4.2 seconds left and the Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up a six-game road trip by holding on to beat the Raptors 94-92 on Sunday, their eighth victory in nine meetings with Toronto
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.

Tessa Worley of France fought off gusting winds to win a second consecutive World Cup giant slalom Sunday in the Andorran Pyrenees. Overall leader Lindsey Vonn was more than a second behind and finished eighth.
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.
Michael Redd hit 4-of-10 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points and two 3-pointers in 19 minutes of Thursday's loss to the Rockets.
He's hit double figures in four straight games, but is averaging just over 20 minutes during the run, thanks to his balky knees. If he starts getting 25-30 minutes per game he'll be worth a look, but unless you're in a very deep league, Redd still belongs on waivers.
Channing Frye got hot on Thursday and hit 8-of-17 shots and four 3-pointers on his way to 21 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in Thursday's home loss to Houston's bench.
Frye has now gone for 14, 19 and 21 points in his last three games, knocking down nine 3-pointers over that stretch. And he's heating up at the right time, as the Suns play five games next week. Grab him if he's still available in your league, as the slump is officially over.
Josh Childress missed all four of his shots and failed to score, but somehow grabbed a season-high 12 rebounds in just 16 minutes on Tuesday.
Childress has no fantasy appeal as long as Grant Hill is healthy, but this line may qualify as the strangest one we've seen this season.
Michael Redd came off the bench to hit 7-of-14 shots and zero 3-pointers for 14 points and four rebounds in a tough win at Milwaukee, his former hometown while playing for the Bucks.
Redd has had a couple nice games this season, but still can't be trusted in fantasy leagues. But he deserves credit for fighting back from all the knee problems, and his return to Milwaukee tonight was a feel-good story.
Steve Nash celebrated his 38th birthday by hitting a layup with five seconds remaining to give the Suns a tough 107-105 win over the Bucks.
The Suns blew a 21-point lead, but pulled it off to secure their third straight win. Nash finished with 18 points and 11 assists, and still has it despite his age.
Jared Dudley had 19 points, four boards, three assists and three 3-pointers on 7-of-9 shooting in Tuesday's tough win over the Bucks.
Dudley missed a game with a thigh injury and scored just 10 in his return on Monday, but was great tonight. Don't expect him to shoot it this well every night, but now that he's back in the starting five and playing well, he should be owned in most leagues.
Steve Nash scored 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting (4-of-4 from deep) with four rebounds and 11 assists in the Suns' blowout win over the Hawks on Monday.
Nash is providing second and fourth round value in 8- and 9-cat leagues, respectively, and after a slow start props goes out to the aggressive owners that cashed in during the buy low window. His shoulder was bothering him during shootaround earlier in the day, and we've heard nothing about in the post-game reports.
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.
