We've got your back day in and day out by bringing you plenty to talk about, but we won't take up your trash cans when you're out of town.
Can't win them all,
The Last Night's Game Team
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
The College Football National Championship Game is set. The Crimson Tide of Alabama will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on January 11 in Miami. As if that excitement wasn't enough for this week, tomorrow college football will (virtually) crown the Heisman Trophy Winner. The trophy is awarded to the most outstanding player in college football. The finalists include two Alabama players Mac Jones (QB) and DeVonta Smith (WR), Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Florida quarterback Kyle Trask. Smith is the current favorite to win. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING US
OVERTIME
Alex Smith of Washington Football Team (NFL - National Football League) is the best comeback story of the season. After a horrific broken leg that resulted in an infection that almost cost him his leg, Smith returned to start for his team. In the coolest public display of affection, Alex's wife Elizabeth posted a photo for inspiration before yesterday's game. It was of the Lombardi Trophy (that the Super Bowl Champions receive) made of Smith’s former leg brace. She talked about how proud she was of Smith and how far he's come. It must have worked because with yesterday's win Washington locked down their division title and a spot in the playoffs, even though they have a losing record. A LONG WAY BACK
SIDELINE STAT
The Seattle Seahawks (NFL) were THIS close to wrapping up the season and heading into the playoffs, but instead of taking a knee to close out the game, the Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson called an audible and threw a pass to David Moore. Why? Moore was one catch away from a $100,000 bonus. Moore had an incentive built into his contract that stated that he would receive $100,000 if he had 35 catches this season, and that last-minute catch was Moore’s 35th of the season. In a postgame interview, Wilson said he knew of the incentive and made sure he changed the call, so his teammate received his bonus. A LITTLE HELP FROM A FRIEND
COACHES' CORNER
Today is referred to as Black Monday in the NFL. It's the Monday after the regular season that coaches get fired. So far, Adam Gase of the New York Jets and Doug Marrone of the Jacksonville Jaguars have lost their jobs, but no telling who will be next. DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU..
