Netflix Sports Is The Gift That Keeps Giving
Plus, College Volleyball’s Final Four Will Be Epic
…And we’re so glad it’s back. EA College Football 25 is now the best selling sports game in US history. We waited so long for its return. All those COVID lockdown days playing NBA 2K21 never stood a chance.
It’s never too early to be in on the next women’s hoops phenom. 16-year-old Jerzy Robinson inked a Nike NIL deal as one of the top 2026 prospects in the country at Sierra Canyon.
It’s the end of a disappointing era. Checo Perez is leaving Red Bull, and it’s hard to believe he’ll secure a seat for next season. Liam Lawson, you’ve got next.
Meet the Von Trapps of Winter Olympic sports. The Macuga family has FOUR siblings competing to represent Team USA in the Winter Olympics, and they all somehow don’t compete in the same winter sport.
It’s been tough for sports fans to dive into their favorite Christmas movies this month because Netflix just won’t stop dropping content. In just the last 48 hours, it has owned the advent calendar with must-see moments.
Home Alone has been put on hold to watch Aaron Rodgers trying ayahuasca. This ‘Enigma’ ironically can’t stop talking about himself, and Netflix makes it look too good to look away – no matter how hard you try.
Aaron Rodgers said he’d stay quiet after football, yet his Netflix doc drops today 🏈🎥
“I just think it's pretty hilarious to say like, when I'm done, you won't hear from me. But here is a documentary about my life where I gave a film crew complete access. I hope you enjoy it.… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Even when you can break away from the influx of Netflix docuseries, social media is buzzing about another massive series on the way. The baddest man on the planet – Mike Tyson – is getting a three-part series, while the King of Clay – Rafael Nadal – is giving Netflix unprecedented access to his final chapter. Oh, and SEC football is the latest to get the ‘Drive To Survive’ treatment, where the champagne flutes are swapped out for red Solo cups.
All of this was announced while the WWE hosted a Netflix kickoff show at its Connecticut headquarters, announcing the return of Logan Paul (and a huge Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley title match!) on the Netflix premiere of Raw in January.
seriously, don't be a d*ck.

College Volleyball is breaking through this season. More people are watching than ever before, and this year’s star-studded Final Four will shatter glass ceilings with all four No. 1 seeds advancing – and display their incredible subcultures.
None have grown the game more than Nebraska. The fanbase’s obsession has shattered the most-watched regional final on record last weekend to go along with its single-game attendance record last year.
@espnw That’s #dedication 🌽 #volleyball #nebraska
While it’s easy to root for Nebraska, their opponent - Penn State – has plenty to get behind. Its coach, Katie Schumacher-Cawley, was diagnosed with breast cancer in October and has battled through treatment for a Final Four berth and epic rematch.

Louisville hasn’t crossed its state line all tournament! Insane to think about, especially with the Final Four in its backyard. If the Cardinals win, they’ll accomplish a feat we haven’t seen in 50 years during this fever-pitch dream. But it will be tough to take down Pittsburgh – the top dogs as the No. 1 overall seed – and its army led by, of all people, a six-year-old.
