Nine NBA games involving nine teams have been rescheduled as a result of the three games postponed last week due to the L.A. wildfires and an Atlanta ice storm.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed starting goaltender Tristan Jarry, who signed a five-year extension in July 2023, on waivers.

A new NFL head coaching job opened up this week, and thus, another opportunity presented itself to Robert Saleh.

The quarterback was said to have received a $6 million NIL offer.

The Jets have cast a wide net in their coaching search, but one of the hottest candidates of this coaching cycle may be emerging as the favorite.

LeBron James declared after the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Golden State Warriors on Christmas that the holiday belongs to the NBA.

"I love the NFL, but Christmas is our day," James said on the court after the game. 

James walked back his declaration of who owned Christmas during a recent appearance on "New Heights."

"Listen, I saw the f------ numbers, after the fact, you guys kicked our a-- alright? From a viewership standpoint, y’all kicked our a--," James said.

The NBA did have a great day, averaging 5.2 million viewers across their five games on Christmas, the most on the holiday in five years, but the NFL dominated those numbers.

Netflix averaged 24.2 million viewers between their two NFL games on Christmas. 

James said having Beyoncé perform during halftime helped the NFL have a good day, despite the non-competitive games.

"You know, the games weren’t as great as they should have been, but when you have f------ Beyoncé come out there. (Patrick) Mahomes and Travis (Kelce) and you guys go there, and kick Pittsburgh’s a--, and you know Beyoncé comes out there," James said.

The Lakers' superstar made the analogy between the NBA and the NFL like a little brother and a big brother fighting.

"But I had, you know, when you go out there with your little brother, and he may get beat up one time, (he’s) like, ‘Hey, we didn’t lose that fight, we here, we stand here, we didn’t lose,’ that’s how I felt I had to stand up. I had to stand up for the NBA," James said while laughing.

With Christmas falling on a Thursday next year, there is a chance the NFL has more than two games during the day as they continue to compete with the NBA for ratings on the holiday.

James’ Lakers are 20-17 this season, and despite just turning 40 years old, James has been productive this season.

James has averaged just under 24 points per game while grabbing just over 7.5 rebounds per game and averaging nearly nine assists per game. 

The Lakers’ next game is at home against the Miami Heat at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Bubba Thompson, who was a first-round MLB draft pick in 2017, will trade in his glove for a helmet and some shoulder pads as he’s set to join the South Alabama Jaguars football team.

He will join the team as a walk-on for spring practices, South Alabama head coach Major Applewhite told AL.com. He posted a video on his Facebook page of himself throwing a football at the school’s football facility.

"We back y’all," he captioned the clip.

Thompson, 26, has experience on the gridiron. He played football while attending McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in Alabama, leading the school to a state title game in 2017.

He then committed to the University of Alabama to play baseball. However, he never enrolled in the college. Instead, he was drafted by the Texas Rangers in 2017 with their No. 26 overall pick and decided to pursue a Major League career.

Thompson didn’t emerge as a superstar. He was a speedster on the basepaths, recording 18 stolen bags in 55 games in 2022. He was with the Rangers in 2023, playing in 37 games. He then joined the Cincinnati Reds last year and appeared in 17 games.

Because he never enrolled in college, he has five years of eligibility. Rivals rated him as a two-star quarterback coming out of school.

South Alabama was 7-6 last season in Applewhite’s first year. They ended the year with a win in the Salute to Veterans Bowl.

Gio Lopez and Bishop Davenport played quarterback for the Jaguars last season.
