Texas State and Rice faced off in the First Responder Bowl on Tuesday night, offering college football fans a nice bit of post-Christmas action to enjoy a full Monday of NFL and NBA games.
For Texas State, it was a big day, as the Bobcats secured their first bowl win in program history, taking down the Owls 45–21.
While the Bobcats had many highlights in the game, including two pick-sixes from linebacker Brian Holloway, the moment that caught the attention of the viewing public came from one of the officials.

The record was inevitable. Tuesday became a historic day for the Detroit Pistons in the worst way. The 2023-24 Pistons squad officially set the record for most consecutive losses recorded in a single season with 27 straight defeats.
The Brooklyn Nets handed the Pistons their historic L and won, 118-112. Brooklyn recently beat Detroit on Dec. 23.
It takes a special type of bad to lose 27 straight games.
Detroit’s best player Cade Cunningham put up a 41-point effort and still couldn’t shoulder the team’s dysfunction to avoid making the NBA’s Hall of Infamy.

The Pistons fought hard but ultimately fell to the Nets on Wednesday night for an NBA record 27th straight loss.

The 2023-24 Detroit Pistons are officially owners of the longest single-season losing streak in NBA history after falling short on Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
The 118–112 defeat marks their 27th straight loss, breaking the all-time record of 26 games which was previously held by both the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers. That Sixers team lost 28 straight games across two seasons, too, another record well within Detroit’s grasp.
The Pistons are now without a win since their third game of the season, which came all the way back on Oct.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was activated from Injured Reserve on Dec. 20, the date his 21-day practice window was set to close.
In order to clear a roster spot for Rodgers’ return, the Jets released fullback Nick Bawden. Despite Bawden being signed back to New York’s practice squad, there were some football fans who criticized Rodgers for taking up a roster spot despite not intending to play this season.
On Tuesday, during his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said that the decision to come back to the active roster was not made by him.

Aaron Rodgers knows what it takes to be named Most Valuable Player in the NFL.
The quarterback for the New York Jets has been named MVP four times in his NFL career, most recently earning the honor in back-to-back seasons in 2020 and ’21.
Speaking with The Pat McAfee Show during his usual weekly interview on Tuesday, Rodgers broke down the current race for the award, which feels rather wide open with just two weeks of the regular season left to play.

In no rational world can a man compete against a woman in sports and call it fairness. Trans athletes are gradually sabotaging women’s sports as men are allowed to participate with a clear biological advantage.
Famed fitness coach Jillian Michaels said trans athletes tip the scales with advantages in women’s sports. In the name of woke equality in sports, women lose opportunities to trans athletes.
Jillian Michaels joined OutKick’s “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” for an exclusive interview, hitting several topics, including the notion that trans women should compete in women’s sports.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the unquestioned winners of the MLB offseason.
Shohei Ohtani started things off by agreeing to a record setting $700 million deal in early December. His unusual contract structure though, allowed the Dodgers to spend more to continue improving the team. And spend they have.
A trade for elite starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays, followed by maybe the biggest surprise of them all: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto was widely viewed as the best starting pitcher available, despite having never thrown a pitch in the major leagues.

Nobody’s running away with the award this year, and the winner will likely be whichever QB screws up the least in the final weeks of the season. Right now, that looks like Jackson.
