This Is Going To Be Good
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is set, the tears were flowing in tennis and the USA wins again.
Today's a good day to be on the sunny side of the street.
Hello Monday,
The Last Night's Game Team
Nfl (NATIONAL football league)
Last week we learned that Apple Music replaced Pepsi as the sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime Show. After rumors about a slate of performers, including Taylor Swift, yesterday, the league confirmed Rihanna would perform at the world's biggest halftime show in Phoenix. HYSTERIA

The Buffalo Bills (NFL) couldn't pull off a win, even after the Miami Dolphins 'butt punt.'
Team USA took home its ninth straight Presidents Cup. The golf tourney pits the best in the world (anywhere besides Europe) in a team match-play competition.
Was Tom Brady's (NFL) head somewhere else during his loss to the second oldest QB in the league, Aaron Rodgers, and his Green Bay Packers? His kids (minus Gisele)attended last night's game.
Another ranked college football team loses to an opponent they paid to play them. No. 25 Miami paid $1.5 million to Middle Tennessee State for an "easy win" only to lose. It was the first-ever win over a ranked opponent for Middle Tennessee State.
Before We Go
Roger Federer and one of his biggest rivals Rafael Nadal took the court together on Friday night in a doubles match (tennis). It happened to be Federer's last professional tennis match ever. We dare you not to get emotional as you watch these two icons sob courtside post-match after their loss to the American team of Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. GROWN MEN DO CRY

By Mere Happenstance
Curtain call for a legend, Apple’s bet pays off, what Adam Levine has in common with the Celtics coach and this week's Tailgate Treat.
As fate would have it, the world of sports continues to produce drama and give us all something to talk about.
Thanks for the memories,
The Last Night's Game Team
NBA (NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION)
In an unusual move during football season, the NBA has made significant headlines this week, and none for positive reasons. First, there was Robert Sarver's suspension and potential sale of the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury.
Now Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka has been suspended for the 2022-23 season for allegedly having an improper relationship with a staff member, violating team rules. Udoka's partner is actress Nia Long. After a week of the Adam Levine scandal, Twitter was equally appalled for Long, with one tweet stating simply, "Bro... It's NIA LONG!!!" TSK TSK

Roger Federer will play in his final tennis tournament, the "Europe vs. The World" Laver Cup this weekend. Federer and Rafael Nadal will play Americans Jack Sock and US Open sensation Frances Tiafoe.
The FIFA 2023 (soccer) video game will feature Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond.
The Presidents Cup is back after three years off. The typically biennial event pits the best in golf from the US against the best in the world (anywhere besides Europe) in a team match-play competition. No players from the LIV are eligible to participate.
Two of the oldest players in the NFL - National Football League, quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, will face each other on the field Sunday afternoon.
Before We Go
Apple couldn't have scripted this better if it was one of their series. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees (MLB - Major League Baseball) is likely to tie and possibly break the 61-year American League home run record set by Roger Maris while playing longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox, this weekend. The series' first game is tonight and streamed exclusively on Apple TV. IT'S A LONG SHOT
