As always, there's some conflict about who is most qualified to play, and the usual controversy about whether or not the dunk contest will be any good this year.

State of the Union
Clear your Tuesday night schedule on several networks, as the President takes the stage for the first State of the Union Address of his second term in office. Regardless of your affiliation or even interest in politics, it does provide a good opportunity to compare/contrast the quality of each network's feed.
