Friday December 1

Merry Friday to you! We made it through another week and guess what? Sports are on this weekend — we’re talking football, basketball, volleyball. It’s going to be a good weekend all around and we’re here to keep you mostly informed. Cya Monday ~

NFL

The NFL is finally doing something about the game quality in primetime. Many people have be critical of the quality of NFL games this year, especially in the primetime slot (Sunday Night & Thursday Night). For the first time ever, the NFL will substitute the Chiefs vs Patriots game for the Eagles vs Seahawks. This is the first time this has ever been done in the NFL.

Thursday Night Football Result

Dallas Cowboys over Seattle Seahawks (41-35).

A rare high scoring matchup for the Cowboys’ 3rd-ranked defense. Seahawks’ QB, Geno Smith, connected with WR DK Metcalf 3 times for a touchdown and led Dallas in the fourth quarter. But Dak Prescott, with 3 TD passes of his own, found Jake Ferguson for the go-ahead score.

Mark Cuban sells his majority ownership of the Mavericks for a cool $3.5 billion. I would do the math on what that return on investment is, but my phone calculator doesn’t have enough room for all the zeros.
