The Super Bowl is set. Get your game face on.
Let’s go Monday,
The Last Night’s Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira aren’t the only ones heading to the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and Jimmy Garoppolo and his San Francisco 49ers will be joining them. While the Chiefs celebrated their first trip to the Super Bowl since 1970, the 49ers celebrated by wearing shirts featuring their quarterback in his underwear. (Because why not)?
According to Vegas odds, the Chiefs are the slight favorites to win the game. Super Bowl 54 will take place in Miami on February 2. We'll have more big game insight leading up to it. BUT WILL THERE BE SNACKS?
Overtime
Somehow Rob Lowe became the most interesting part of the 49ers - Packers game. He was likely in the stands to promote his new TV show that aired after the game on the same network. But it was his hat, not his show, that sent the internet into a frenzy. MUST TRY TO BLEND IN
Sideline stat
Conor McGregor stepped back into the octagon Saturday night looking for his first win since 2016. His UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fight against the all-time wins leader Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone wasn’t at all what anyone expected. McGregor took him out in 40 seconds. Be glad you didn’t pay for it on Pay-Per-View. END OF STORY
Coaches’ corner
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) driver Kyle Larson has had a pretty decorated racing career including a win at Daytona. But his greatest victory, according to him, was this weekend at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa where he finally won the illusive dirt track title. He’s proof that you should try and try again - it was his 13th time driving in this dirt-race event. The NASCAR season starts with the Daytona 500 on February 16. RIDIN’ DIRTY

The Grand Slam schedule includes the four most important tournaments of the season - the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. LOTS OF LOVE FOR AUSTRALIA + TENNIS
