We promise this is an NFC South breakdown—offseason moves, top fantasy plays, and all—but along the way we can’t help ourselves.

Brief detours include:
– Kobe’s defensive narrative and whether the ’09–’10 Lakers were the worst repeat champs ever
– The gap between Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol
– If it’s already too late for Bryce Young to turn it around
– Ohio State vs Texas and a critical Arch Manning take
– A childhood car accident that could have been avoided.....if black boys were allowed to have joy......
