Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy hasn’t made a decision about his future, whether that’s to stay with the Wolverines or declare for the NFL draft, but in case he is done at Michigan, he wanted to go out in style.
The Wolverines held their championship parade and celebration on Saturday following their 34–13 national title win over Washington on Monday.
McCarthy was handed the 2023 Coaches’ Trophy, which is made of $30,000 worth of Waterford crystal. He decided to lob it over to his teammate, defensive back Mike Sainristil.

Eminem has a simple request for Matthew Stafford on Sunday: Lose the game.
In a video posted by NBC’s Sunday Night Football, the superstar rapper pleaded with the Los Angeles Rams quarterback to give the poor Lions a break.
“Can you just let us have this one? Just this one?” he asked, while wearing a Barry Sanders hoodie.

On Sunday night, Stafford will make his return to Ford Field for the first time since becoming a Los Angeles Ram.
Here’s what you need to know about how to watch the Packers at Cowboys game.
Eminem is one of the best-selling artists of all-time, a 15-time Grammy winner and a long-suffering Detroit Lions fan. Ahead of his team’s wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the rapper made a desperate plea to his former quarterback Matthew Stafford, who will lead the Rams into Detroit.
“Stafford, what’d I say? You owe me this favor, bro,” he said. “I was there for you when you won it. I was there for you. I was right there. I rapped for you, Stafford! Bro, I rapped for you! Can you just let us have this one? Just this one.

Sunday’s wild-card game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins was the first NFL playoff game to ever broadcast exclusively on a streaming service, and fans couldn’t have been more annoyed.
Ahead of the massive matchup, fans had already voiced their displeasure with the NFL for its decision to go through with it, but there’s nothing like real-time anger. Across the country fans took to X, formerly Twitter, and roasted the league in furious fashion.

The Dolphins had the opportunity to prove they’re legit against the Chiefs. They did the opposite.
The Wild Card game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday was not just an opportunity for the Miami Dolphins to advance to the next round of the NFL playoffs. It also was a chance to alter a narrative that has surrounded the team all year: that it bought its playoff ticket on victories over bad teams.
Following their 26-7 defeat in freezing Kansas City, little has changed.

Reexamining the trade that sent Matthew Stafford from the Lions to the Rams.
Even though it happened only three years ago, the NFL has changed so much since 2021 that it can be hard to grasp just how crazy it was for Matthew Stafford to go to the Detroit Lions and ask to be traded to a team that could give him a chance to win a Super Bowl.

Not since the early days of Barry Sanders have the Lions won in the postseason.
It wasn’t that long ago the Cincinnati Bengals had gone over three decades without winning a playoff game.
Now, two years after the Bengals ended their 31-year drought during Wild Card Weekend, the Detroit Lions will look to end their own 31-year famine in the same round when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
Currently, those 31-year droughts are tied for the third-longest streaks in NFL history.
So, Laremy Tunsil won a division title before the Miami Dolphins did. He played a home playoff game before the Dolphins did. And he won a postseason game before his former club.
Let that sink in for a moment.
The man the Dolphins used as the signature trade piece in a grand rebuild that started in 2019 and was supposed to make Miami a consistent Super Bowl contender, is looking at Dolphins through a rearview mirror now.
