The NFL regular season is coming to an end next weekend and JJ Watt has had enough. His Houston Texans (NFL) are closing out the season with an abysmal 4-11 record. In his postgame press conference yesterday, he got on his soapbox talking about the "lack of professionalism on the team" and how he "feels bad for fans." Watt stated, "If you can't come in and put work in, in the building, go out to the practice field and work hard, do your lifts and do what you're supposed to do, you should not be here. This is a job. We are getting paid a whole lot of money." CALLING IT LIKE IT IS

Overtime
JuJu Smith-Schuster of the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) paid it forward this holiday season by clearing $25,000 worth of layaway for Christmas gifts and essentials for 170 families. He also purchased Christmas gifts for 250 children in need. This comes on the heels of a post from Smith-Schuster's mom saying she received death threats over her son's pregame TikTok dances. Death threats over dancing. Seriously? What is this, "Footloose?" TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD

The New York Knicks (NBA - National Basketball Association) had fans shaking their heads in disbelief. They sent two players into a game with the same jersey numbers. Reggie Bullock and Mitchell Robinson both entered the game with No. 23 on their jerseys. (Bullock usually wears No. 25). This comes to you from a Knicks team with an owner who plays the kazoo in a band and is known for his short fuse and throwing former players and celebrities out of Madison Square Garden (home of the Knicks).

Coaches’ corner
Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning (NFL - National Football League) went all-in on his charity commitment. Manning donated his Super Bowl MVP 2011 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible to the All-In Challenge that raised money for families with food insecurities due to COVID. He hand-delivered the car to the winner, who bid $140,000. The All-In Challenge was created by Fanatics founder Michael Rubin and raised over $60M by auctioning off experiences and items from professional athletes and celebrities. WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY
