On Sunday, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi and seven other people were killed in a helicopter crash. Yesterday, The Lakers paid tribute to him in their first game back since his passing. There was not a dry eye left in the home that he built.

Strangely enough, both Los Angeles basketball teams were supposed to play each other tomorrow, but they have decided to postpone the game in honor of losing one of the city’s greatest players of all time.
The NBA wrote, “The National Basketball Association game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the LA Clippers scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 28 at Staples Center has been postponed. The decision was made out of respect for the Lakers organization, which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday.”
While the Lakers added, “The Los Angeles Lakers would like to thank all of you for the tremendous outpouring of support and condolences. This is a very difficult time for all of us. We continue to support the Bryant family and will share more information as it is available.”
Even though Halloween was almost a week ago, there is one black cat who is not ready for the season to end. Yesterday, that beautiful baby ran on to the field during the NY Giants and Dallas Cowboy game and scored a touchdown in our hearts. Not only in our hearts but they also ran from the 50-yard line to the end zone in record time. The kitty did such a good job, hopefully, the Cincinnati Bengals will recruit him.
However since the Giants lost the game and they are having a bad season, maybe they should be the ones who adopt the feline for their NFL team.
When it comes to what happened to the cat, MetLife Stadium gave this update, “For those wondering about the status of our furry friend 😺 at tonight’s @Giants game 👇. The black cat ran off the field and disappeared under a seating section. Once we locate and safely capture the cat, we will take it to a veterinarian for examination.”
Once they capture it and bring it to a vet (I know a good one in NJ if you need it), I am sure there will be a lot of people who will want to give that pussy furever home.
The University of Georgia Bulldogs is playing Notre Dame Fighting Irish today in Athens, Georgia. Well, Dill’s Food City did not want anything Irish in their store for the game this week, so on Monday they told their costumers, “Sorry Dill’s customers there will be no Irish Spring at our stores this week. Go Dawgs!” They boxed up all of their soap and left the shelves empty.
When Irish Spring heard about it, they decided to send UGA a little care package of their product. Along with the present, they attached a little note that reads, “Hey @universityofga – Heard you were out of stock in Athens, GA. We’re sending a little luck your way. 🍀 Hoping for a good, clean game tomorrow! 🧼 #NDvsUGA 🏈”
And with that, I will now be using Irish Spring soap because they are bad a$$. Which means they will make my bad a$$ smell good.
Good thing we didn’t play Notre Dame when I was at the University of Miami. If there was any soap anywhere near the broadcasters during a game, then they would have used it to wash our mouths out with soap. That’s because our chant to ND was, “They suck. We swallow.” Which was actually one of our cleaner chants! It’s great to be a Miami Hurricane!
The National Football League is 100 years old. To celebrate the milestone they got someone just as old to promote it. Betty White. Because when I think of football, I think of her. Well, I think of that Snickers ad that ran during the Super Bowl. But you know what I meant.
Anyways, when I think of 100, I do think of Ms. White since she is the oldest celebrity we know. Therefore, NBC and the NFL made the wise choice. Plus, who doesn’t love having her back on our televisions again? She is as much as a treasure as football itself.
She is a much bigger one! But don’t those pig skin loving people I said that.
