Fifty-six Super Bowls have now been played. We must say goodbye to our beloved sport’s games for over 200 days.
Aside from the appropriate sadness and the baseball lobby generally showing us trucks being loaded with gear (perhaps not here in 2022), that can only mean that it is time once again to update our franchise rankings.

One game is left. The entire NFL show now travels two weekends in a row. The ambitious types head to Mobile, Ala., this morning for the Senior Bowl week which gives us the full approval to begin wall-to-wall draft preparations immediately. Because you have kindly asked, this week will be my first week of 12 Draft Digests to get you to late April with a fair appreciation for the top prospects who will be factors as soon as this fall. Just ask Micah Parsons about how quickly you can go from a prospect to a Defensive Player of the Year candidate.
Others will also go prepare for the Pro Bowl — which apparently still exists, despite the indifference of everyone but those playing in the game and their families — before a much larger portion of the traveling show emerges in Los Angeles in one week’s time for Super Bowl 56.
