NFL Parity with Paul Attner

Except for a few teams, the National Football League's members are pretty much following the commissioner's script: don't win enough to create the impression that you can beat anybody and don't lose so often that your fans give up before Thanksgiving. We'll talk to Paul Attner of the Sporting News about the definition of parity, among other matters.

Indianapolis Colts

Listen
How does a team that's given up the 5th most points per game this season get to the Super Bowl? The answer may be to score the most points with the NFL's most potent offense. At least that's what the Indianapolis Colts are hoping. The Colts got close last year, before losing to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. This year, as Ron Schachter reports, Indianapolis is aiming higher, mainly on the strength of its highly-regarded and most-highly-paid quarterback.

Wilt Chamberlain: Larger Than Life

Wilt Chamberlin may have been the greatest player ever to run the floor for an N.B.A. team. Certainly he saw it that way.

Cherry joins Bill from the studios of WHYY in Philadelphia.
