Paul Flannery and Tom Ziller are previewing all 30 teams via conversation. Next up: the Cleveland Cavaliers. Find all of the Flanns and Zillz previews here. ZILLER: The world champion Cleveland Cavaliers (man, that's a weird phrase) have an interesting problem this season: How do you stay motivated in the regular season? They won the East No. 1 seed despite a coaching change and despite never punching the gas pedal during the regular season. They went 12-2 in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

By Michael Hurley, CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — For many years, people of a certain ilk professed a belief that life in New England after Tom Brady could be a very much unenjoyable experience, at least as far as the local football team goes. Yet for three weeks of the 2016 season, these people of this particular ilk appeared to have been foolhardy in their premonitions. No more. Not after the hapless showing on Sunday afternoon against the Bills at Gillette Stadium. To be sure, Bill Belichick and ..>> view originalFlashback: Vin Scully's lasting friendship with Ernie Harwell

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Seattle coaches and players kept asking Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman if he needed help. But Sherman was immersed in what Seattle coach Pete Carroll called a "dramatic, classic, classy, colossal" duel with New York Jets receiver Brandon Marshall on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. In the first half, Marshall snatched three passes for 72 yards, including a 17-yard, second-quarter scoring blow with only 13 seconds left that made it Seattle 14, Jets 10 at half..>> view originalBob Bradley makes American soccer history as Swansea City name him their new manager

Without J.J. Watt, the Texans pass rush looked like the 2013-15 Falcons pass rush. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was only hit four times for one sack, and he had plenty of time to throw. The Titans also rushed for 124 yards. A team with Jadeveon Clowney a..>> view originalJim Caldwell insists Lions didn't bench Golden Tate
Golden Tate's season of struggles sunk to new depths Sunday in a loss to the previously winless Chicago Bears. The Lions' supposed 1B receiver entering the season caught one pass for one yard on four targets before adding a late-game two-point conversion. It's not unheard of for a top-flight receiver to get shut down -- Kelvin Benjamin caught zero passes in Week 3; Dez Bryant caught one pass for eight yards in Week 1. Tate's problems go beyond a one-game aberration. The 28-year-old hasn't earne..>> view originalWalt Weiss out as Rockies manager after 4 seasons
