NBA Christmas Day Preview. Top Story - December 2018.
The NBA tradition of playing on Christmas games goes back to 1947, the league's second season.

So, here's a rundown of all the games that'll be happening and my predictions.

All Fight Fans Should Watch 'FightWorld' on Netflix. Top Story - December 2018.
I had been waiting for this particular show to appear online for a long time. I'm a fan of Frank Grillo both as an actor and as a person. You may recognize him from movies such as Captain America Civil War, The Grey, and The Purge Series, and a role in Wolf Warrior 2, the highest grossing non Hollywood movie ever. Or you might know him from his appearances on podcasts like The Fighter and the Kid and others. He's got tons of action movie chops, and does way more than look the part.

Best Female Coaches of All Time. Top Story - December 2018.
Across various sports, female coaches are taking over. It's only a matter of time before the best NFL head coaches include women who have worked their way to the top. Just 10 or 15 years ago, most women had trouble landing positions as assistant coaches, even with impeccable resumes and records, which makes these women stand out. As the best female coaches in the game, their keen eye for strategy and abilities to motivate their athletes bring them a step above the rest. Don’t think these coaches are only within successful college sports programs either; you’ll be surprised to find out which teams these women have led!

Just ask someone who lives in New Jersey—they may think they are the sixth borough but anyone from New York dumps all over them for being inferior. "Nothing stinks like Jersey"—everyone who lives in New York. "Out of towners" may not love us but they flock to live here. New York has and will always be king.

From coaches to scouts, general managers, and teammates, everyone seems to have an opinion about the way you conduct yourself or performed.
