Why it’s okay to be bullish on Bryce Young and the Panthers .
The Panthers aren’t a good football team, but they’re far from a terrible one. Showing far more fight than a majority of three-win teams, Carolina gave a significant scare to the Chiefs on Sunday. Kansas City ended up needing a last-second field goal as time expired to ensure a 30-27 win, after betting lines had them as 11-point favorites.
For the Panthers it wasn’t a testament in success, but progress — especially from quarterback Bryce Young. The former No.
Nebraska assistant coach Donovan Raiola was caught on video in a bizarre exchange after beating Wisconsin.
The Cornhuskers smashed the Badgers over the weekend 44-25, and it’s just the latest frustrating moment of the season for Luke Fickell’s program.
However, the most interesting part of the night might not have actually been during the game. It came afterward when players and coaches were leaving the field.
Just when you thought the Trump Dance — an ode to the President-elect’s rally dances that athletes have turned into celebration jigs – had played itself out we have the latest version of it from the Miami Dolphins.
Welcome in defensive tackle Zach Sieler, who gave us his rendition of it Sunday in a blowout 34-15 victory over the New England Patriots.
Enjoy.
(Or don’t if you’re a dyed in the wool liberal.)

Mike McDaniel was not letting Calais Campbell go without a fight.
The Miami Dolphins received an offer for the 38-year-old defensive tackle ahead of this season’s trade deadline.

But that’s when McDaniel stepped in and threw a “temper tantrum” in front of general manager Chris Grier to stop the trade.

Absolutely nothing is going right for the Philadelphia 76ers — not even their social media graphics.
The Sixers got thumped by the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Sunday. And after the game, as is customary, the social media team posted a graphic on social media that displayed the final score, 125-99.
But it didn’t take long for fans to notice that an unfortunate font choice made “Final” look more like, well, another word.
Take a look:
Oof.
I see the vision. The designer was going for a retro look to match this year’s City Edition jerseys.
The New England Patriots were flagged 10 times during their 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 12 as they continue to be among the most-penalized teams in the NFL. That isn’t Jerod Mayo’s problem, at least not according to the head coach himself.
