1.7.13 Sports Roundup

This time of year the weekend is chock full of sports—with football right in the center of it all. And as has been the case here for most of the past decade-plus, the Patriots are squarely in the mix as the NFL whittles down to its final few teams. We discussed that, plus the College Football National Championship game and an 11th hour deal to save the NHL season with Boston.com's Eric Wilbur.
