At Newsweek, we’re social distancing to the best of our abilities while raging on about our new, and old, favorite Netflix releases. We’re big fans of the streaming platform’s original content, so much so, that we’re ready to hound them with requests to bring back for of our favorites. Some already have new seasons in the works (thank God) while others have yet to be renewed. So as we distance and immerse ourselves in television culture, here are some of our favorite series we really, really hope we’ll get to see again....

Then again, predicting the NFL week-to-week can make even the most well-reasoned projections look horrendously off. A few stretches of consecutive games clearly jump out as brutal for the teams facing that gauntlet. Below are four of the roughest stretches on the 2014 regular season schedule.

Starting in Leeds, England, on July 5, the 101st Tour ends 22 days later, as is traditional, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. With 25 ascents, the same as the 2012 edition won by Bradley Wiggins and only three fewer than this year's centennial dominated by Froome, the 2014 race will again suit strong climbers — perhaps even more so than in previous years because of the reduced emphasis on time-trialing....

Ultimately, the “right” way doesn’t exist. If you wind up with a good player who avoids the trainer’s table, whether you got him in the first round or the eighth round, you’re going to look smart. That’s impossible to predict, but there are ways to mitigate risk and opportunity cost while ultimately strengthening your team, even if that doesn’t necessarily mean getting the best RBs. The key is being able to adapt during your draft based on who’s available and what the other owners in your league are doing....

No other Big 12 team has made the playoff yet. Baylor and TCU came close in 2014, but the only other team to get close to consideration was two-loss Oklahoma in 2016. MORE: 18 questions for 2018 season While the Sooners have clearly been the class of the league, the Big 12 may be primed for a change at the top in 2018.

MORE: ACC predictions for 2017 season Dent has gone to Florida State’s football camps for two consecutive years, though he added one of the biggest factors in his decision was his relationship with Seminoles defensive Charles Kelly. “I like his personality, we relate," Dent told 247Sports. “He’s a good coach too....

The two programs have shared the last four titles between them, with Clemson beating Alabama 44-16 in January in the College Football Playoffs to secure a second title in three years. According to Oddschecker, the Tigers are 9/5 favorite (+180 in moneyline terms) to defend their crown, while odds on the Crimson Tide are just marginally longer at 11/5. Last season Clemson became the only team in the history of the playoffs era to go 15-0 and has retained the core of its championship team....

The first: Take one of Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz or George Kittle somewhere in second, third, or fourth rounds. They’re studs.

Most matchups in the reported schedule include teams coming off playoff appearances, but the Warriors and Pelicans also received placement, largely because of their expected TV draws.

Somewhat surprisingly considering the PGA Championship is only his second start on the PGA Tour since February, Woods was the best of the trio, carding a 2-under par 68 to finish three shots adrift of joint-leaders Jason Day and Brendon Todd, while McIlroy finished even par and Thomas shot a 1-over 71....

Keeper/dynasty leagues encourage you to value youth and always be mindful of the way a player’s career is trending. In a dynasty start-up draft, rookies will be taken much higher than in a typical yearly league (for obvious reasons). The beautiful thing about dynasty leagues is that it operates much like the real NFL – some teams are in win-now mode; others are building for the future. Still others are stuck right in the middle of a lukewarm hell....
