PS - This Friday's Tailgate Treat is an easy one that even our team can make. Break out the slow cooker and the chicken wings because it's going to be a party.
Tennis
If you’ve ever spoken too soon. We were so excited for Serena Williams’ return to the Australian Open, one year after she won it while pregnant. Yesterday we found out she’s not ready yet and she withdrew from the tournament. Another one of tennis’ best, Andy Murray also dropped out of the tournament this week with a bum right hip. Crikey!
NFL (National Football League)
When you're rewarded for your hard work. The NFL playoffs start this weekend with the ultimate goal of reaching the Super Bowl on February 4. We'll see playoff action in Los Angeles for the first time since 1986 as the L.A. Rams host the Atlanta Falcons. PLAYOFF PREVIEW

Get that #FridayFeeling this morning with more cuteness than one should see in a week. The starting lineup for this year’s Animal Planet Puppy Bowl has been released. Team Fluff and Team Ruff are made up of shelter dogs that hope to be adopted. Talk about the ultimate “tail”gate. Here’s the cutest lineup you’ve ever seen. PICS

This weekend the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing in their first home playoff game since 2000 against a Buffalo Bills team that hasn't made the playoffs since 1999. They’re so excited (maybe almost too excited) that their black, teal and gold exuberance has spread to the game day food. The team is offering very appetizing burgers with teal buns, teal ice cream and even teal beer. Try to refrain from reciting green eggs and ham.
Coaches’ corner
Do you have weekend plans? If you are in Cleveland, you do now. The Cleveland Browns are celebrating their perfect season with a parade on Saturday. Although it’s not the kind of perfect season you’d think. The parade celebrates the winless, 0-16 (wins-losses) regular season for the team - the second time in NFL history that a team has had a winless season.
Heads up!

If your weekend plans include visits to Santa and holiday parties, you might as well throw on your ugly sweater and wash down your eggnog with a side of sports.

PS- Now that we have you thinking about eggnog, today’s Tailgate Treat is a great way to spice yours up. It is cold outside after all.
College football
If your friend is the Maverick to your Ice Man. This weekend is the storied Army – Navy game in Philadelphia. The regular season is over for most teams but these aren’t two ordinary teams. Both teams will wear special snazzy uniforms for this 127-year old respectful rivalry. PICS - ARMY VS NAVY

MLS (Major League Soccer)
When you’re not quite dressed right for the weather. The MLS Championship is this Saturday and we bet those soccer players are wishing they played football for all the extra gear. The Seattle Sounders are playing the Toronto FC (Football Club) in Toronto where it’s going to be a balmy 34 degrees at kickoff with a 70% chance of snow.
Overtime
Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles will be the first honorary cheerleader for her hometown Houston Texans (NFL – National Football League) this weekend. She’ll even get to wear the legendary red boots. The boots dreams are made of.

The Cleveland Browns (NFL) are on their way to a winless football season. One of their fans has raised the required $10,000 to throw them a victory-less parade should they finish without a win. His fundraising efforts were completed by a $7,683 donation from Excedrin, the headache medication. Apparently the Browns give them a headache too.
Coaches’ corner
Don’t forget that the Heisman Trophy ceremony is Saturday night, recognizing the best in college football. It’s not simply a boring awards show. (Okay maybe it is but there’s more excitement to it than just an award show). Check out Five Things To Know About The Heisman here.
