Also Team 27: It’s time for professional football coaches and professional football players to assemble and form a professional football team.
Team 26: Babies. So many babies.
Team 25: Two favorites from the Conor Cinematic Universe and a team that should have honest-to-God playoff aspirations right this very minute.
