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.
DeMarco: Plug in a well-heeled ownership group and negotiate one of those mega-bucks TV deals that are going around, and the Dodgers could become the west coast version of the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox.

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.
WHITLEY BAY, England - Ruth Day, a 64-year-old retiree from northern England, had the day of her life on the golf course last week.
Day shot two holes-in-one in the same round at Whitley Bay Golf Club, where she is a member.
“A hole in one in itself is usually pretty amazing,” Day said in Friday’s edition of The Journal, a newspaper in northeast England. “But I couldn’t believe it when I did the same thing 10 holes further on.”
The feat is rare. Golf Digest estimates the odds against a golfer having two holes-in-one in the same round at 67 million to 1.
But just last week, former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Steve Blass made two holes-in-one in a span of 11 holes during the team’s annual alumni golf outing.

“The first time it happened, my friend was the one saying ’It’s going in. It’s going in,’ but I was relatively ambivalent,” Day said. “Then the lads in front put their thumbs up to say it had gone in. I was pleased because it was my first hole in one.
“It was the second one that was really amazing because it was a more difficult hole. We saw it turn and then we went searching for it round the back to see where it was. We couldn’t find it, and after a while we found it — in the hole.”
Day said she has been playing golf for about 10 years.
“Some people go through their whole life and never get a hole-in-one,” Day said. “I think there’s only a very small number of people around the world who have done it twice in one round.”
