Good morning, and happy Monday! Let’s dive into the biggest sports moments you need to know for this week’s conversations, from Alex Morgan’s emotional farewell to shocking wins in college football and the latest NFL drama.
NFL Drama: Tyreek Hill’s Eventful Day
Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill had a whirlwind day. He was pulled over and briefly detained just outside the stadium before the game, which led to an interesting touchdown celebration where his teammates playfully mimicked handcuffing him. After the game, Hill expressed confusion over the incident, stating he didn’t resist and still doesn’t know why he was detained. Expect more details to emerge as the investigation continues.
US Open Tennis: Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka Shine
All eyes were on American Taylor Fritz to end the US drought for a men's Grand Slam title, with celebrities like Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Anna Wintour and Matthew McConaughey in the crowd. However, Italy’s Jannik Sinner crashed the party, defeating Fritz to claim his first US Open title. The women’s final also delivered, with Aryna Sabalenka taking down American Jessica Pegula to win her first U.S. Open title in her 100th career major match.
Alex Morgan Bids Farewell
US Women’s National Team star Alex Morgan played her last soccer game yesterday. She retired from soccer after the San Diego Wave game yesterday. It was an emotional goodbye, made even sweeter as she shared the field with her daughter, Charlie. Along with her retirement, Alex also announced that she’s expecting her second child. We’ll miss her incredible talent and leadership on the field, but this next chapter for Morgan is just as exciting. Morgan said she’s going to focus on investing in women’s sports.
College Football Shocker: Northern Illinois Stuns Notre Dame
In what might be the upset of the year, Northern Illinois took down Notre Dame, securing their first-ever win over a top 10-ranked team. Here’s the kicker—Notre Dame paid them $1.4M to play, only to lose. This unexpected victory is sure to be a hot topic in the world of college football this week.
Super Bowl 2025 Headliner: Kendrick Lamar Returns
Mark your calendars! Kendrick Lamar will return as the solo headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl (NFL - National Football League) halftime show. Three years after his electric performance at the LA Super Bowl alongside a star-studded lineup, Kendrick is set to retake center stage. We’re already counting down the days until February 9, 2025.
Tom Brady’s Broadcasting Debut
NFL legend Tom Brady made his broadcasting debut, but it didn’t go as smoothly as fans expected. His first stint behind the mic had a few awkward silences during the Dallas Cowboys’ big win over the Cleveland Browns. With time, we’re sure he’ll find his rhythm—hopefully, next week’s broadcast will be a little less bumpy.
From Alex Morgan’s heartfelt farewell to college football surprises and NFL drama, there’s plenty to talk about this week. Check out more updates at lastnightsgame.com and follow us on social media for the latest sports news. Have a great week ahead!
