Sending our best to NBC Sports' Mike Tirico, who will miss calling tonight's Bucs vs Bears game in Chicago due to a health related issue. He would have called his 300th NFL game.

Get better soon Mike! πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ

Shout out to Utah QB Devon Dampier, who led the no.3 Utes to a 28-20 win over no.9 BYU. Dampier:

🏈177 passing yards, 2 TDs
🏈 87 rushing yards, 2 TDs

The Utes are 9-0 (6-0 in the Big XII) and have won 15 consecutive games, the longest active winning streak in the country. ✊🏾

This week, Toronto Blue Jays OF Anthony Santander shared Islamaphobic IG posts about Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, Sharia law and that "Islam is not peaceful."

The posts were removed & the Blue Jays issued this statement. Very weak as minorities are 56% of Toronto's populationπŸ˜‘

Really sad to learn that Rochelle Fleming, the powerful lead voice of the group First Choice, has passed away.

Fleming and First Choice gave us smash club hits like "Let no man put Asunder", "Doctor Love", and "Love Thang". She was 76. RIP Rochelle Fleming. πŸ™πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ
