On this Mild Tuesday, here's what trending on twitter:

After what was indeed a Wild Card Weekend, the NFL has already made playoff history. All four road teams (Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Green Bay) won their respective games and will advance to divisional round this Saturday and Sunday. Denver, New England, Carolina and Arizona have their work cut off for them, but at least they are not the ones to have to worry about moving to another city. Starting today and tomorrow will have special meeting in Houston to discuss who will move to Los Angeles in the coming future. It's been a race between St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland who applied for relocation last week and wait to see what the league will do with them, but in the end, there will be no losers in this situation. For more on this story, I found a tweet last night from the NFL gives us an in-depth look.

As everybody knows by now, Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe starts May 6 with Captain America: Civil War. This year starts an era where Superheroes dominate the big screen in theaters, by the time it's the year 2020, fans will have seen the greatest battles and moments in history and will have the movie gods to thank. In another tweet I found last night, Marvel Studios has selected its director for Black Panther, Ryan Coogler, the man that brought you Creed, will look to direct another critically acclaim film with Chadwick Boseman as the Black Panther. Some people on twitter have rejoiced over this decision because they know that the MCU keeps getting better and better.

If Creed is any indication, Black Panther with Coogler at the helm could deliver the best action in the MCU yet.

The bigger news for today is that Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, will make his final State of the Union address tonight 9PM. It will be something special as the Road to the 2016 Presidential Election in November continues with the Republican Debate this Thursday and  the Democratic Debate Sunday Night. Obama will probably give his opinion on the election, explain the latest issues in the world today and talk about what a long run it's been as President. By this time next year, we'll have a new chief in staff, one that may not be the right choice but will pick up where Obama left off. Here is what people have to say before tonight's address.
