AROUND THE WEB:
-- When Rob Lowe put on an NFL logo hat to attend the NFC Championship Game on Sunday night, he did not expect it would go viral.
Cameras showed Lowe watching the game in the hat and Twitter pounced with jokes.
Lowe even responded to the attention with a tweet of his own.
-- Twitter also took jabs at Jimmy Garoppolo after the 49ers won the NFC Championship Game and the quarterback only had eight pass attempts.

And he was labeled as Greg.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Like I said earlier, I am open-minded about the process and at the same time I love playing football and want to continue to play and do a great job. I am looking to what is ahead.

In the meantime, I am going to watch these two games as a fan and enjoy them from my couch." -- Tom Brady, to Jim Gray on Westwood One, on his future
