News of Donald Driver's retirement shouldn't come as a big surprise. The veteran turns 38 on Saturday and saw his role with the Packers diminish so much that he had to volunteer to play on special teams just to see the field. Driver only wanted to play with the Packers and when it became clear that this would be his last go-around with the Pack it was time to call it a career.

Whether you want to call it the Super-baugh, the Harbowl or anything else, get ready for an onslaught of Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh this week. But while there will be much talk on the sibling rivalry the focus should be on the quarterbacks.

With the unveiling of the NBA All-Star reserves came disappointment among Bucks fans. Once again, Milwaukee will not be represented in the All-Star Game. Brandon Jennings has put together a solid first half, certainly worthy of all-star consideration. So was he snubbed?

Most NFL people are in Alabama this week for a week's worth of Senior Bowl activities. I've been saying the last few years that Senior Bowl week is becoming one of my favorite weeks of the year. This is the time that NFL teams start the process of building a Super Bowl team and a solid performance in Mobile this week will go a long way in helping a player's draft stock.

For 28 NFL teams the focus this weekend will not be on the conference championship games but rather on a pair of college football all-star games that usually serve as the launching point for NFL Draft season.

If there was a theme to Packers Nation the last few days it could be summed up in three words: fire Dom Capers.

With the end of the postseason run for the Packers their draft position is set. Thanks to Baltimore's win over Denver the Packers nail down pick number 26 for April's draft. If you want to get an early jump on scouting, ESPN has Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier ranked as their 26th best player. CBS Sports' NFL Draft Scout puts Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan at number 26. Below is the updated draft order:

The Smiths The playmaking outside linebacker Aldon Smith registered 19.5 sacks in 2012 but his production dropped when defensive end Justin Smith was lost with a tricep injury. The defensive end is set to return tonight and that will not only give a boost to thr 49ers run defense but should open things up for the linebacker who must be accounted for on every play.

The theme from Green Bay this week has been how much both the Packers and 49ers have changed since their Week One meeting. San Francisco made a quarterback change while the Packers offense evolved from a high-flying one-dimensional offense to a more balance and physical approach.

Wild Card Weekend is in the books without any major surprises but plenty of storylines. On the AFC side both Houston and Baltimore were sliding into the playoffs but thanks to solid defense both teams are moving on to the divisional round. Baltimore-Denver and Houston-New England will both be rematches of key late season contests won by the Broncos and Patriots.

Red Zone Mistakes In the first meeting between the two teams Minnesota's Christian Ponder threw two red zone interceptions. Then in Week 17 the Packers committed two defensive penalties on third down inside the red zone, allowing Minnesota to score a touchdown both times. The team that makes red zone mistakes will lose.

One of the intriguing storylines of the Packers-Vikings Wild Card game is the fact that these two teams just met in Week 17. Facing a divisional foe is always difficult and that task is made even more difficult when you factor in the pressures of the postseason.

All Day again Of course Adrian Peterson will be the focal point as he tries to break the single season rushing record. But Peterson might find it difficult to duplicate his performance against the Packers from December 2nd as both Clay Matthews and C.J. Wilson, who both missed the previous meeting, will be on the field today.

CJ1K You don't think of Tennessee as an explosive offense but running back Chris Johnson can still rip off big runs including his 94 yarder against the Jets Monday night. Johnson has three scores of 80+ yards this year and while he doesn't put up the same yardage totals as he did in 2009-2010 his healthy 4.8 yards per carry would suggest he is still a threat.

Three headed backfield Chicago ranks 12th in run defense but they've been ripped apart the last five weeks. While the Packers don't have a Peterson or a Lynch in the backfield the trio of Alex Green, DuJuan Harris and Ryan Grant can hold their own. The Packers want to be balanced and that should continue today
