Everybody Dance Now
Michael Strahan to space, who will strike the famous Heisman pose Saturday, the fight for the F1 title and this week's Tailgate Treat.
This weekend is full of tradition and excitement, and while yes, we're talking about ugly sweaters and holiday parties, we're also talking about sports.
Something for everyone,
The Last Night's Game Team
College Football
The only college football game taking place this weekend is the Army-Navy game. The teams always roll out unique uniforms for this game, and this year in their 122nd meeting they did not disappoint. The Army Cadets already lost before the game started by kidnapping the wrong Navy goat mascot. RIVALRY OF RESPECT
Short and Sweet
After a delayed launch, Michael Strahan will soar into space tomorrow.
Sunday is the last race of the F1 (Formula One) season, and it's going to be spicy. With Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen tied going into this race, this weekend's race winner will claim the title of champion.
The Portland Timbers and New York City FC play for the MLS (Major League Soccer) Championship on Saturday, but the students are the real winners.
Before We Go
Saturday night, while you're trying out your Heisman pose on the dance floor, the Heisman Trophy will be awarded to the best player in college football. The finalists are:
Alabama quarterback Bryce Young
Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson
Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett
Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud
Only one defensive player, Charles Woodson, who also went to Michigan, has ever won the Heisman. The odds have Alabama's Young as the favorite.

Just Say No
Bowl Game season is upon us, the moving tributes to the Oxford High School shooting victims and this QB's audition for the next “Top Gun” movie.
It's the busy holiday season so something to keep in mind this week is when saying yes to someone else, are you saying no to yourself?
That and say no to boring small talk with today's write-up.
Shameless plug, we know,
The Last Night's Game Team
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
The College Football Selection Committee has spoken, and four teams, Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati and Michigan, are one step closer to winning it all. The two winners from the New Year's Eve games will play in the National Championship Game on January 10.
After Selection Sunday yesterday, the game we have an eye on is the Duke's Mayo Bowl, but it has nothing to do with the teams on the field. In last year's inaugural Duke's Mayo Bowl game, everyone was hoping for a mayo dump on the winning coach vs. the traditional Gatorade dousing. Duke's Mayo Bowl is upping their game this year, offering $10,000 to the charity of the winning team's choice if they shower their head coach with mayo. EVERYONE WINS
See what bowl game your team is playing in here.
SHORT AND SWEET
This coach was so disgusted with his team that he called a timeout to make the players run sprints.
Gardner Minshew (NFL - National Football League) won yesterday's game before it even started by channeling his inner Maverick (or Iceman).
BEFORE WE GO
The Detroit Lions dedicated their game yesterday to the Oxford High School shooting victims. Maybe it was a higher power or great football, but the Lions took home their first win of the season yesterday.
Michigan dedicated their game to one of the Oxford shooting victims, Tate Myre, who has been hailed as a hero for his attempt to disarm the gunman. Michigan scored 42 points in their win. No. 42 was Myre's jersey number. CHILLS
SO MUCH GOODNESS

(NOT) DREAM JOB
When you head to work today, remember that movin' and shakin' do not bring home the bacon. At least if you're an NFL cheerleader.

A Slam Dunk
Drake’s newest courtside fans, why Justin Bieber is trending, it’s championship week in college football and this week's Tailgate Treat.
Sports, a safe conversation starter no matter the weather.
Smooth sailing,
The Last Night's Game Team
College Football
It's conference championship week in most college football conferences. There have been plenty of shake-ups during the season, but maybe the biggest shock to Ohio State Buckeyes fans was last week's loss to rival Michigan. Michigan will play Iowa in the Big 10 championship game in Indianapolis. Despite the Buckeyes losing their chance to play in the big game, their fans are hanging onto their rooms and game tickets in Indy to truly stick it to their rival Michigan fans. DRIVING A HARD BARGAIN
PS: Michigan is honoring the victims of the Oxford High School shooting this weekend on their uniforms with a "TM42" patch.

Drake who? This courtside couple is now Drake's new parents.
Buffalo Bills (NFL - National Football League) fans continue their charitable streak, this time taking care of one of their own.
#WTFJustin is trending ahead of his performance at this weekend's Formula One race in Saudi Arabia.
Antonio Brown (NFL) is one of three players suspended for 'misrepresenting' their COVID vaccine status.
Before We Go
You'll see some fancy footwear on NFL fields across the country as the league celebrates "My Cause, My Cleats." Players will wear custom cleats that will later be auctioned off to support the charity of their choice. The causes range from organizations supporting veterans to clean well water to autism. The cleats feature children's art and others pictures or graphic designs. ONE PAIR CAN CHANGE A LIFE
