My five hottest takes from the holiday sports weekend:
1. In the wake of quarterback Everett Golson leaving Florida State for personal reasons before the upcoming Peach Bowl game, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher still insists that he believes the Golson experiment was a success. I'm guessing Jimbo also believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the competence of ACC refs.
2. Unless the Magic start playing better defense, they will not be a playoff team team. As Sentinel colleague Josh Robbins points out, the Magic have now gone four games in a row allowing opponents to make at least 49 percent of their shots.
