Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady shared a tribute to his longtime former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick following the team’s announcement to part ways with the six-time Super Bowl champion.

“I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL,” Brady wrote in an Instagram post. “He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. He worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport.”  

“He set the tone for the organization, to never Falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB.” 

“I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next.” 

The girls know their football, and football fans!

Football Weekend at Rick’s Cabaret New York!

The New York Giants saved their best for last, closing out a dismal and disappointing 2023 season with a Week 18 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. 

In front of a sparse crowd on a wet and wintry afternoon, the Giants took a 24-0 lead into halftime at MetLife Stadium and held on for a 27-10 victory that ended a stretch of futility against the rival Eagles.

The Eagles pulled quarterback Jalen Hurts and several starters in the second half. Saquon Barkley, in what could be the curtain call on his six-year stay with the Giants, rushed for two touchdowns.

This ended the Giants’ five-game losing streak to the Eagles in a series that had the Eagles winning 17 of the past 20 games. 

The regime of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll had been 0-5 against the Eagles and 0-8 against the Cowboys and Eagles, the top teams in the NFC East. 

This rare victory allowed the Giants to snap a three-game losing streak down the stretch of the season and give their beleaguered fans who decided to show up something to feel good about in an otherwise dreary season.

With snow covering the field and flurries swirling throughout Gillette Stadium, Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals to help the New York Jets (7-10) earn their first victory over the New England Patriots since an overtime win on Dec. 27, 2015.

Breece Hall rushed for 174 yards and a late touchdown and the Jets snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Patriots with a 17-3 win Sunday in what could have been Belichick’s final game with the franchise for which he hoisted six Lombardi trophies.

Bill Belichick says he put everything he had into this season and still enjoys coaching.

But following the end to his most tenuous season as an NFL coach, it remained very much unclear whether he’ll ever do it again for the Patriots.

“A disappointing year for all of us — players, coaches, staffers, the entire organization,” Belichick said through a scratchy voice after fighting a cold this week. 

“That’s all I have to say about that right now, because that’s all there is to talk about.”

The game was the Jets’ first win in New England since the 2010 AFC divisional playoff round. It was also New York’s first regular-season road win against the Patriots since 2008.

Chick-fil-A has maintained its position as America’s favorite restaurant for eight years in a row, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). 

Chick-fil-A maintained its score of 83, the highest score in the ACSI restaurant survey.

Following Chick-fil-A in the fast food category, sandwich chain Jimmy John’s scored 79 this year.

Domino’s and KFC both scored 78, while four chains — Chipotle, Panera, Pizza Hut and Starbucks — scored 77. Fast food restaurants that scored 76 included Arby’s, Five Guys and Papa Johns, while Burger King, Little Caesars, Panda Express and Subway all scored 75. 

Dairy Queen, Dunkin’ and Sonic scored 74 and Wendy’s scored 73.

Meanwhile, Jack in the Box and Taco Bell scored 72, while Popeyes scored 71. 

The fast food chain with the lowest score was McDonald’s coming in at 68 (down 3% from last year).

Impossible Foods announced Impossible Hot Dogs will be the brand’s latest new meat-from-plants innovation product coming to restaurants and grocery stores soon.

The juicy, savory links offer a similar cooking and sensory experience to traditional animal beef hot dogs, but are made with high-quality ingredients derived from plants.

Compared to a leading animal-based hot dog served in restaurants, Impossible Hot Dogs pack 0mg cholesterol, 50% less total and saturated fat, 12g protein (vs. 6g), and none of the mystery – just plants.

The company says that these hot dogs are not made with added or synthetic nitrates or nitrites like some hot dogs made from animals, although they do contain natural nitrates and nitrites from cultured celery powder.

Tyrod Taylor has thrown some unbelievable deep passes the past two weeks, including Sunday afternoon against the Rams.

But the easiest throw he may ever have as a pro — well, that may have very well cost the Giants an upset victory.

A stunning 94-yard punt return for a touchdown by Gunner Olszewski pulled the Giants within striking distance and, after a penalty on the point-after kick by the Rams, Brian Daboll decided to go for the lead.

The Giants had a perfect play call, too, and Saquon Barkley raced through a crowd at the line of scrimmage and broke open with no one in front of him at the goal line. But Taylor misfired badly, throwing behind Barkley as the conversion failed, leaving the Giants’ quarterback despondent and MetLife Stadium in disbelief yet again.

Final score: Rams 26, Giants 25.

The Giants (5-11) have now had remarkable upset bids fall short against a pair of playoff teams in a span of six days. They had a chance to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Christmas Day, but Taylor’s final heave into the end zone was intercepted.

Another big game for Joe Flacco was another big night for the Cleveland Browns.

Flacco threw for 309 yards with three touchdowns and a single interception Thursday in a 37-20 Cleveland win over the New York Jets. 

The win was the fourth straight for the Browns, who improved 4-1 with Flacco at quarterback. They improved to 11-5 to secure their spot in the postseason.

In a game that featured two of the top defenses in the league, the offenses exploded for 51 points in the first half. Both clubs put together quick opening-drive touchdowns, but it was the Browns that kept up a more prolific scoring pace.

Things did cool down in the second half as neither team was able to add to their total in the third quarter and managed just a field goal apiece in the fourth. 

Flacco finished his night 19 of 29, while Jets QB Trevor Siemian was 32 of 45 for 262 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

A Rock vs Roman Reigns match has been a topic of discussion and anticipation, especially in the context of WrestleMania 40. 

Previously, there were rumors about The Rock facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. However, this did not materialize, and fans saw The Tribal Chief compete against Cody Rhodes.

During a recent segment on The Pat McAfee Show, Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as The Rock, shed light on the situation. He mentioned that a match with Roman Reigns could happen. 

While no official confirmation exists, Johnson’s comments hint at the possibility of the much-anticipated match taking place during WrestleMania 40. The potential match between The Rock and Roman Reigns remains a major topic of interest, and time will reveal if it becomes a reality.

After nearly letting a 17-point halftime lead slip away for good, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New York Giants 33-25. It was their 12th consecutive victory over the Giants and snapped a three-game losing streak. Now at 11-4, the win also keeps the Eagles as the favorite to win the NFC East.

The Eagles and their fans were hoping Monday’s game against the Giants would serve as a get-right game after dropping three straight.

While they did pull out a win, their performance cannot exactly be described as confidence-inspiring.

The Giants, meanwhile, fell to 5-10 and could once again be turning to a new starter at quarterback after Tommy DeVito was benched at halftime for backup Tyrod Taylor.

DeVito started six games this season in relief of injured starter Daniel Jones. He helped lead the Giants to three straight wins, including a Monday night upset of the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, developing a cult following in the process.
