Among the things I received for Christmas this year was the new Sports Illustrated book “Football’s Greatest.” It had a bunch of Top 10 lists ranking all kids of football-related things, from the best uniforms and games to coaches and rivalries. The book also featured the panel’s Top 10 list of all-time bests at each position. Along with the obvious Hall of Famers, there were a bunch of active players included as well. And that got me thinking: Who are the greatest players in the NFL right now?

The late, great Dick Clark may be best known for his annual special “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” Now the young man he mentored in host, producer and entrepreneur, Ryan Seacrest, will be flying solo this year.

But the “American Idol” star says he can handle it.

For starters, how did the Kansas City Chiefs, who will likely end up with the No. 1 pick, end up with five Pro Bowlers, while the Atlanta Falcons, the No. 1 seed in the NFC, have only three?

It’s weird to sit here on a Saturday night watching Monday Night Football, but I also have to say that it’s nice to have the late-season Saturday night game back. The NFL always used to do that, and I didn’t realize how much I missed it. Anyway, the reason there’s a Saturday night game instead of a Monday night game this week is because Monday’s Christmas Eve, and, as a part of the TV deal, the NFL agrees not to play a night game on Christmas Eve or during the day on Christmas. As a result, we got a special Saturday night treat. (There was no Thursday night game because they don’t want to have two teams with extra rest in Week 17.)
