Cheers to Thursday, everyone. It’s officially Christmas Eve Eve — aka Festivus — so Christmas is dangerously close. If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet, there’s nothing I can do to help you at this point, because there is no chance gifts will be shipping through the mail in less than 48 hours. The only option left is running to your gas station to pick up some last-minute gift cards, so good luck with that. On a positive note, the NFL kicks off Week 16 tonight with the San Francisco 49ers vs. Tennessee Titans tonight, while college football bowl season rolls on. And hey, who knows what NBA old head we will be seeing back on the court this time. While we wait to see how the action plays out and which ghost of the past makes an appearance on the court, let’s indulge in some headlines.
- Meet Alyssa from Vancouver.
- The 2022 Pro Bowl roster was announced.
- Kyler Murray gifted his offensive line $5,000 custom golf bags and clubs for Christmas.

People had a field day with news that Joe Johnson was returning to the NBA at 40 years old amid the COVID-19 outbreak. To make matters even better, Johnson rejoined the Boston Celtics for the first time in 20 years and even made a bucket. Iso Joe is back, baby — at least for the remainder of his 10-day contract!
