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.
Raja Bell is dealing with a "minor wrist issue."
Bell expects to start on Friday and the injury is not a serious concern at this time.
Jamaal Tinsley (personal) returned to practice on Thursday.
Tinsley didn't travel with the team for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, but he's back after a "non-emergency" situation with his family has cleared. He'll resume his typical role behind Devin Harris and Earl Watson.
Jazz agreed to terms with F DeMarre Carroll.
Carroll was waived by Denver last week after averaging just 3.0 points in four games for the Nuggets this season. He's not likely to play a significant role in Utah.
Paul Millsap hit 5-of-7 shots for 18 points and 10 rebounds in Tuesday's loss to the Pacers.
Al Jefferson added 16 points, eight boards and two blocks, while Derrick Favors had 10 points, five rebounds and a block off the bench. Jefferson has been great since missing a game with a foot injury, while Millsap has been a double-double machine for most of the season. Favors belongs on waivers in many leagues as long as the other two bigs are healthy.
Devin Harris hit 4-of-9 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points, three assists and two steals in Tuesday's loss at Indiana.
He had nine points, four dimes and two steals on Monday and might finally be showing signs of getting healthy. He appeared to tweak his hamstring tonight, but played through it, while Earl Watson missed all three of his shots, failing to score, but did have seven assists, two steals and a block on the night. Harris is a borderline fantasy player to own right now, but has at least looked a little better in his last two.
Jamaal Tinsley's contract has been guaranteed for the remainder of the season.
Tinsley is the team's third point guard and has played well when Devin Harris and Earl Watson were unavailable. But as long as they're both healthy, Tinsley is clearly the third option. He's also sitting out Tuesday's game at Indiana for personal reasons.
Devin Harris (hamstring) played in Monday's loss to the Knicks, scoring nine points on 4-of-6 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 30 minutes.
Backup Earl Watson played 18 minutes and had just one rebound and one steal to his credit, begging the question of whether or not he's healthy. Even with Jamaal Tinsley missing Tuesday's homecoming game for personal reasons, there's no reason to spot-start Harris in 12-team formats with game limits unless you're desperate.
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.
