Ahead of kick-off for Week 18 in the NFL, ESPN used a very creative way to acknowledge Buffalo Bills' safety Damar Hamlin, and a few keen sports fans caught it.
In the first NFL game action since Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest, players and coaches leaguewide donned t-shirts to show support for the Buffalo player.
Trainers' jobs can change in an instant, and in a time of crisis, former Syracuse trainer Denny Kellington delivered treatment that ended up being life-saving.
In the aftermath of the Damar Hamlin injury, the 24-year old was transported to the hospital, and a teammate had to plead his case in order to visit him.
Brian Daboll pushed Daniel Jones to the limit. Not to make him fail, but to test his ability to lead. Now, the New York Giants are reaping the rewards.
With the city of Buffalo in the midst of a deadly blizzard and a governor declared state of emergency, including a complete travel ban, the Buffalo Bills players were videoed driving out of the team parking lot on Christmas day after their bus arrived from Rochester and according to one official. All of this was without permission.
The Buffalo Bills released artist renderings of their new football stadium, and Upstate NY fans were quick to share their negative opinions on how it looks.
Those NFL fans that believe you have to have a top draft pick to rebuild your team have not watched the New York Giants this year. So, why do some teams "appear" to tank a season to get the top pick, like the Jacksonville Jaguars "appeared" to do in 2020? The Jags ended up with the much-hyped quarterback out of Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, notably a franchise changing player. The Jags have a chance to make the playoffs this year. However, the tanking philosophy may have cost the Jacksonville fans at least 5 years of playoff football.
On Friday, the 8-5-1 New York Giants were in the Twin Cities preparing for an opportunity to clinch a surprising 2022 NFC playoff birth with a win (and some help) over the 11-3 Minnesota Vikings. Some of the Big Blue players and staff took advantage of the team hotel being attached to the world famous Mall of America to get in some last minute holiday shopping. During the same time, at the nation's largest mall's Nordstrom's location, shots rang out, leaving a 19-year old man dead and thousands in a panic, including the New York Giants.
News broke on Friday that New York Jets' wide receivers coach, Miles Austin, has been banned from the NFL for a minimum of one season, and now, we know why.
Sports and superstitions go hand-in-hand, which is why New York Giants' coach Brian Daboll cited a new habit of his as the reason why his team is winning again.
