7 foot, 5 inch Celtic Tacko Fall has been recently hanging out at the Boys & Girls Club of Boston’s Charlestown Club. Why? He’s been taking swimming lessons having never learned while growing up in Dakar, Senegal.

If you can’t be a good example, be a warning.
This week’s sign of the apocalypse: Washington Redskins’ quarterback Dwayne Haskins missed the final snap (kneel-down) of the Redskins’ victory last Sunday because he was taking selfies with fans. Dude?! You were 13-29 for 156 yards and an interception. It wasn’t you!
This week’s sign of the apocalypse part deux: Tesla has received 200,000 reservations, requiring $100 deposits, within 72 hours after unveiling its Cybertruck. You know, the one whose shatterproof windows were broken during the unveiling.
I was watching last Friday when Kemba Walker went down. I swore he either had broken his neck or hurt his spine, especially seeing how tightly he was strapped down on the gurney. Glad he’s OK, lucky!

Call Guinness! 104-year old Florence Teeters bagged her first buck during her first-ever hunting trip. She shot and killed a small “spike” buck with unbranched antlers.

The San Francisco 49ers are the first 10-1 team to enter week 13 as an underdog since the 2007 Cowboys. The Cowboys, then 10-1 went on to beat the Green Bay Packers.
Bobsled. I was intrigued. Who was Bob and how did he get a sled named after him? Not to be as the name is derived from the action some competitors adopted of bobbing back and forth inside their sleds to increase speed.

OK, so it wasn’t exactly a coming-out party but N’Keal Harry did have the game’s only touchdown on a pretty sick-looking catch.
It’s the holiday season. Don’t forget to turn the bathroom scale back 15 lbs.
Quote of the week: “That’s a bad white boy. Most skilled white dude in NFL history.” – Carolina Panthers’ defensive lineman, Gerald McCoy on teammate Christian McCaffrey. Now, that maybe very non-PC, and I’m sure more spoken about if vice-versa, but still I completely agree with him.

“Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags, my foot’s outside the door
I got a date, and I can’t be late, for the high hope hailla ball.”
