What if college basketball players were required to play four years before entering the NBA draft? Clearly, history would be altered. Some NBA-factories masquerading as amateur programs would reap big benefits. Which teams would be in line for big 2016-17 seasons if none of their players had departed early? Here are the teams included in our playoff style bracket: Arizona Wildcats Duke Blue Devils Kansas Jayhawks Kentucky Wildcats LSU Tigers Syracuse Orange UCLA Bruins UNLV Runnin' Rebels Washington Huskies Which which one of these teams would win a eight-team tournament?

The 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament bracket is out, and that means it's time to fill out your bracket. This is our annual reminder: Play the percentages. There will be upsets in the first weekend, but chalk tends to be the story from the Sweet 16 to the Final Four and ultimately in the championship game. Since the Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, 19 of the 32 national champions were No. 1 seeds. Join @JaiHov , @Lock_THA_GREAT and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy TONIGHT as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and analyze each of the four regions as you get ready to gamble when March Madness kicks off this week.

2017 NFL Free Agency officially starts March 7th as agents can start talking to prospective teams. NFL teams can officially start offering contracts on March 9th. Spending a ton of money on players in NFL free agency isn't the best way to build a team. But spending on the right unrestricted free agents can vastly improve a team: see the Giants, Raiders and NFC champion Falcons in 2016, for example. Join @JaiHov , @Lock_THA_GREAT and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy TONIGHT as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and breakdown the possible landing destinations for players in the 2017 NFL Free Agency open market.

The NBA trade deadline came and went at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday without any major fireworks. Carmelo Anthony is still in New York. Blake Griffin remains in Los Angeles. Paul George is still a Pacer. Jimmy Butler is still a Bull. The Celtics still have their treasure-chest of assets. While there wasn't the huge blockbuster trade people were waiting on, there were deals made. A lot of them were minor, but could play an important role down the road due to cap space. Join @Lock_Tha_Great and @JaiHov as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and debate the winners and losers of the 2017 NBA Trade Deadline.

If you had to put together a team of All-Pros from movies for the best football movie team of all time… who would you choose? There have been a ton of mostly bad football movies, so there exists a large talent pool to create a Movie Football Draft FSP style. Join @Lock_Tha_Great, @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy TONIGHT as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and unveil the 2017 FSP Movie Football Draft.

The Super Bowl is a celebration. It is a celebration of the two best football teams in the NFL. But most of all, it is a celebration of food. A great Super Bowl party starts with great food, but there are certain criteria that must be met. There are many different kinds of Super Bowl party foods, so FSP has broken up each food option into a few categories, because it isn’t fair to compare a dip to a main course. Join @Lock_Tha_Great, @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and rank the Top Super Bowl party foods.

The legendary Tom Brady will lead the New England Patriots into Houston looking to secure their fifth Lombardi Trophy since 2001. Early predictions have this game as a high-scoring, potential blowout sort of affair. Here's your head-to-head breakdown of how the Patriots and the Falcons will stack up come Feb. 5th, FSP style.

The reserves will be announced on Thursday, January 26 at 7 p.m. ET on TNT and are voted on by league head coaches.

As the NBA is nearing the halfway point of the season, conversations over the various individual awards throughout the association begin to take place. Join @JaiHov, special guest host @Animal_Brown from the @ondecktvpodcast and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy TONIGHT as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and hand out the 2016 NBA Midseason Awards.

2016 was a terrible year. We lost some of our most beloved public figures, and we endured a political season that exposed and widened rifts between us all. And yet, through it all, when we turned to sports for salvation (or escape), sports gave us what it so often does: brilliance. Join @Lock_Tha_Great, @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Weezy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past and breakdown the biggest sports moments of the year, moments where you could (almost) forget how awful everything else was.

Now that we’ve reached the final week of the 2016 NFL regular season, it’s time to hand out some league superlatives. FSP is honoring the best individual performances of the 2016-17 season. FSP hands out the traditional NFL awards (MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, etc.), as well as a slate of honors unique to FSP.

The debate is over. The 2016 College Football Playoff starts this weekend. 1. Alabama (13-0) 2. Clemson (12-1) 3. Ohio State (11-1) 4. Washington (12-1) That means the Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the Washington Huskies in the Peach Bowl semifinal (Atlanta). The Clemson Tigers face the Ohio State Buckeyes in semifinal action at the Fiesta Bowl (Glendale, Arizona). The winners will square off in the CFP National Championship in Tampa, Florida. All four of the teams in the College Football Playoff are capable of winning the national title. Think you know exactly how the College Football Playoff will play out? It’s not that clear. There are strong arguments for any of the four playoff teams to end the season with the national title. Join @JaiHov, @Lock_Tha_Great and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and breakdown the 2016 College Football Playoffs.

Last week FSP handed out NCAA Men's college basketball conference predictions. This week is dedicated to the individual player awards. The first month of the college basketball season has been filled with surprising upsets, impressive individual performances, and great non-conference play. It is still early. This college basketball season is barely a month old. So nobody should crown anything or anybody quite yet, right? Wrong. Join @Lock_THA_GREAT , @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and continue with the 2016-17 College Basketball Preview Part 2: Individual Player Awards.

The ranks of the Division I’s undefeated teams are down to 9 entering December. It’s a relatively small group for less than four weeks into the season, and it is not filled with low-major contenders. All but two of the schools reside in either the Power Five leagues or the Big East, and neither Gonzaga nor Saint Mary’s qualifies as a stunning story. With the unbeaten’s already trimmed to a manageable number, it’s time to look at each of the major conferences and see how soon 1976 Indiana’s place as the last undefeated Division I team will be secure for another year. Join @JaiHov, @Lock_Tha_Great and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and start our 2016-17 College Basketball preview Part 1: Conference Breakdown.

"Point guard". It is arguably the deepest position in the NBA, and certainly the one that has changed the most in the last 15 years. Rule changes have altered the way point guards operate, as they are more likely now to be combo guards who can score and shoot from deep range, rather than traditional, pure playmakers. Join @Lock _Tha_Great , @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Weezy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and conclude the 2016 NBA Top 7 Series: Point Guards.

Just a few years ago, it seemed that the shooting guard position was fairly shallow. Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen and Vince Carter led the way, while others merely hoped to eventually carve out a niche for themselves. My How times have changed. Whether it be their ability to shoot the three-point shot at a more efficient rate or having the ability to defend and play multiple positions, there’s no question that the way shooting guards play the game has changed. Join @Lock _Tha_Great , @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Weezy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and continue on to Part IV of the Top 7 Series: Shooting Guards.

It’s a fine time for small forwards in the NBA. The position contains arguably three of the best four players in the game. There are so many great small forwards in this generation of NBA players. There are guys who handle the ball, guys who shoot at an elite rate, guys who play incredible defense, and guys who are just solid all-around. Join @Lock_Tha_Great, @JaiHov and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and continue to Part III of our 2016 Top 7 NBA Series: Small Forwards.

For the first time in nearly two decades, the NBA will open a season without two of the greatest power forwards in league history suiting up. Both Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett retired in 2016. The position, though, remains in good hands. It’s the NBA’s deepest position, but there is also plenty of top-tier talent at the top. Join @JaiHov , @Lock_Tha_Great and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and we resume our 2016 NBA Top 7 Series with Part II. Power Forwards.

As many times as we may have declared the big man a "thing of the past" in the NBA, every summer you can look up and find some team handing an oversized contract to an oversized player for little reason other than size itself (see Timofey Mosgov’s $64 million dollar contract). Center is one of the deepest positions in the NBA, but it’s also the most flawed. NBA coaches are always seeking to create mismatches, and a capable big man is still the best way to wipe out a small lineup. Join @JaiHov , @Lock_Tha_Great and the producer of the show @FSP_Wezzy as they discuss the hottest sports news of the past week and start our Top 7 NBA Series with the NBA Centers.
