How's that resolution going? Studies say that one in seven Americans never actually believe they'll see their resolution through in the first place. So if you've made it this far, you're on the right track.
Keep up the good work,
The Last Night's Game Team
NFL (national football League)
On Monday, Damar Hamlin's heart stopped on the football field. With quick thinking by Denny Kellington, the Bills trainer, excellent care and prayers, we finally received good news on Hamlin's condition. His team, the Buffalo Bills, reported that Hamlin is responsive, communicating through written messages. His first message was, "did we win (the football game)?" His doctors responded, "Yes, Damar, you won. You won the game of life." Hamlin's team will play the New England Patriots this weekend. THE NEWS WE HOPED TO HEAR
In case you're wondering, Hamlin's toy drive has now raised $7.7M in donations.
Short and Sweet
After video surfaced of UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) President Dana White hitting his wife on New Year's Eve, TBS pulled the programming for White's new Power Slap League that was set to debut this month.
There are countless postseason scenarios to wrap up the last week of the NFL regular season, but the most exciting could be the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans racing to be the worst team in the league.
With the college football national championship game on Monday, the only college football game this weekend is North Dakota State vs. South Dakota State. The two are playing for the FCS (i.e., a division below division I college football) championship title.
In the wake of Damar Hamlin's collapse, the New Orleans Saints (NFL) and New Orleans Pelicans (NBA - National Basketball Association) donate 67 AEDs to local recreation departments.
Before We Go
US Men's Soccer is such a mess that it deserves its own Netflix series. Enter the Reyna-Burhalter saga. For some reason, head coach Gregg Berhalter did not play one of the best players on the team during the World Cup, Gio Reyna. Coach Berhalter then broke code, revealing some behind-the-scenes information about Reyna.
Berhalter and Reyna's father were once teammates and friends but no longer after Berhalter spoke out about his son. So, the Reynas reportedly leaked details about a domestic violence incident where Berhalter kicked his future wife in a 1991 incident, which is now under investigation.
Coach Berhalter's contract expired at the end of the year, and they have a temporary head coach, Anthony Hudson. JUST NO
Today we featured stories containing accounts of domestic violence. If you or someone you know is a survivor of domestic abuse, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or https://www.thehotline.org/.
