Can this team stay on top without their star? 👀
Plus: the best of college football and the trolls of the NFL 👏
PRESENTED BY:
Dawgs went for the repeat 🐶
Make way for playoff SZN 🏈
KD out for the count 🤕
Lions handed out the L 😬
🏆 Let 'em know who the big dawgs are!
The Bulldogs secured a back-to-back title with their 65-7 win Monday night. You know the dawgs had to double it!
TCU just couldn't fight back. It was a complete beatdown. The two Heisman finalists went at it, but Stetson Bennett outshined Max Duggan.
By halftime alone, it was quiet for all Frogs fans. Even Luka Doncic was in attendance and was pretty fed up at that point. It was the largest margin of victory in a bowl game ever!
I mean, imagine having to watch Bennett completely destroy your team. He put up historic numbers as the star he is. During the game, he completed 18 of 25 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns.
The QB finishes his college career with 2 CFP championship titles, 4 CFP game MVPs, and 2 SEC championships. The 25-year-old went from walk-on, to JUCO, to champion. Gotta love it. It’s only right that he earned a standing ovation in his final college game.
I just know Mattress Mack is hurting right now. He had $3.1 Million riding on TCU. You win some, you lose some… and Mattress Mack took a FAT L with this one. But, he should have learned his lesson the first time he bet against Georgia in last year’s championship game.
He’ll be in shambles ….meanwhile Quavo celebrates with the champs like the rest of dawg fans. Dat way!
👏 Playoffs are finally here!
Seahawks or 49ers? 👀

The NFL just released the slate for Super Wild Card Weekend. Let’s go!
Of the 12 teams playing, the first game of the weekend starts with the Seahawks versus the 49ers. Who are you picking?
The 49ers got all the momentum with their 10-game winning streak. They’ve been rolling right along with Brock Purdy, who has been getting the job done as a starter as of late.
With San Fran’s top-10 offense and solid defensive unit, what's not to like here?
Yes, Geno Smith has shown us what he’s capable of, but the 49ers should still handle business against the No. 7 Seahawks.
Plus, Seattle has already lost to them twice this year...I don't think third time will be the charm for them this time around.
A MESSAGE FROM MARLOW
The Pillow for Side Sleepers
The ideal sleeping position is on the side, but without the proper support, a good morning is not in the forecast. With an adjustable design, the Marlow Pillow adapts to give side sleepers the support they need. It's made with a proprietary fill of memory foam and polyester fiber made using NASA technology and a unique zippered design for easy adjustability, allowing users to find the exact loft profile that fits them.
At the same time, cooling-infused memory foam and ventilated zipper gussets help create better airflow and regulate your body temperature, so you stay cool during the night, while its antimicrobial shell repels unwelcomed guests like dust mites and bacteria.
The pillow has been perfected over eight years with numerous research, surveys, and prototypes, but to ensure satisfaction, it's also backed by Brooklinen's best-in-class customer service and a risk-free warranty.
⛹️ Uh oh, down goes KD
Associated Press
Sad news for Nets fans— KD has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain.
His injury occurred against the Heat after Jimmy Butler landed on KD’s knee while going up for a bucket. Things didn't look too pretty after that.
We know Durant has had similar MCL injuries before — once in 2017, and then again last season. He can bounce back, it’s just a matter of how quickly.
Last season, the two-time NBA Champ only missed 21 games from that injury, and as of now, he’s out for at least a month.
Easy Money Sniper has been key in leading Brooklyn this season, averaging 30 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists each game. Until he returns, the Nets will have to do without the star, as he’ll be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Right now, the team is sitting at the No. 2 seed. We’ll see if the Nets can remain top of the East even with KD’s absence.
😳 Lions eliminate the Packers
The Lions really handed Aaron Rodgers and the Packers the toughest L in their final game of the season, winning 20-16.
Though the Lions didn't end up making the playoff picture, they still have something to celebrate after getting their first winning season since 2017.
Detroit definitely took advantage of the moment and the victory by trolling Rodgers. They showed an entire compilation that made fun of Green Bay’s 8-9 record with clips of Rodgers' previous interviews.
Looks like all that winning Rodgers was talking about never panned out the way he expected it to. Oops.
Rodgers was just not on during Sunday’s game. He went 17 of 27 for 205 yards with one touchdown. This wasn't the first game he failed to throw for 300 yards. His performance wasn't enough, especially against Detroit’s defense.
With the Packers out of the playoffs as well, that could have been Rodgers and Randall Cobb’s final game together. Who knows whether or not the four-time MVP will continue playing.
🤯 It ain't over til it's over!
⚽️ All that extra help and it was still no comp
🏀 Don't sleep on Uncle Snoop!
😂 Even the King gotta get in some Madden reps
