Five burning questions in the conference

Iverson hits the open market
Now paging Ed Stefanski. There are sure to be a few calls from area fans to the Sixers general manager, as Allen Iverson officially becomes a free agent.

Time to erase fourth-and-2
The Patriots sound like they’re sick of talking about it.

Wildcats gunning for national title
It’s an abundance of riches at Villanova right now.

Trot always ready to fill in for Birds
As Donovan McNabb wondered aloud about where the veteran leadership was going to come from, a battle-tested linebacker stood up in the back of the locker room. Jeremiah Trotter’s role is not yet defined on this Eagles’ team, but his voice is ever present.

Adding insult to their injuries
For the first time perhaps all season, the Giants are the healthier of the two teams going into a game.

Allen: What does ego have to do with it?
Can someone please explain to me what in the world ego had to do with Bill Belichick's decision to go for it on fourth and two Sunday night?
New York Sports
Belicheat sets back innovative thinking
Rooting for Bill Belichick is like pulling for Tim Donaghy, or hoping that the reign of the phrase, “It is what is,” continues. There’s something extremely distasteful about it.
Philly Sports
Time to kick one off the birds’ island
Any day now, the Eagles are going to announce a major contract extension for coach Andy Reid. We can only hope the news is accompanied by a laugh track.

Allen: What "creative" moves can the Red Sox make?
The disappointing ending to the 2009 season for the Red Sox signaled that this is a club in transition. While still very talented, they are fragile and thin in some crucial areas, and some changes are going to need to be made. Here are some possible "big splash" moves that the Red Sox will likely explore this offseason.

Eagles: the definition of insanity
The Eagles are a talented group compromised by the shortcomings of their quarterback and doomed by the stubbornness of their coach. They will never win a championship with Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb on board.

Aging MVP Matsui is so money
Hideki Matsui stole the World Series MVP from Alex Rodriguez, who must have more issues with baseball writers than Mark McGwire. A-Rod bashed the biggest hit in both Games 3 and 4, the two Philly games that swung the series, and yet still falls short to a one-blowout wonder?
Boston Sports
Third is 1st priority for Red Sox
One clear way for the Red Sox to improve this winter would be to upgrade at third base, where Mike Lowell has visibly lost a step since his hip surgery. Though Lowell was praised during the 2009 ALDS for snaring every ball hit to him, that’s actually the problem — at this point, he can only defend balls that are hit right at him.

Allen: Domination isn't dull
I've heard in on sports radio, and seen it on comment sections and message boards.
The Celtics games are boring - they're all blowouts.
I'm only going to say this once:
Complete and total annihilation is never boring
. Especially when you're on the winning side.
