Hanukkah, Christmas, college bowl game season, NFL, NBA... this is the most wonderful weekend of the year.
Cheers to the weekend,
The Last Night's Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
Christmas Day is usually a coveted day for NBA (National Basketball Association) teams to take the court, but this year, they're being overshadowed by the NFL. The empire that is the NFL has a tripleheader planned for Christmas Day. If you're staying up late waiting for Santa, you can catch a game on Christmas Eve. EGGNOG AND ENDZONES
Short and Sweet
The holiday album featuring Philadelphia Eagles (NFL) players with voices of angels has already raised $250,000 for charity. Maybe that good karma will bring them a Christmas Eve win against the Dallas Cowboys.
LeBron James (NBA) is playing in his 17th Christmas Day game, breaking the tie with Kobe Bryant.
The annual tradition of quarterbacks (NFL) giving their offensive line great gifts continues with Josh Allen gifting custom scooters, Patrick Mahomes - custom golf clubs and Jared Goff - an ATV.
After a video went viral of a New England Patriots fan keeping his cool while being "relentlessly" harassed, Patriots owner Robert Kraft invited the fan onto the field at this weekend's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Before We Go
Former Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach passed away earlier this month. He would be proud of the Bulldog Initiative that was created to help generate NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) opportunities for Mississippi State student-athletes and make a positive impact within the community. His players Nathaniel Watson, Jett Johnson, and Will Rogers helped live out that legacy, using their NIL opportunities to treat 22 local children to a shopping spree of $200 each at Academy Sports.
