Now that the college football regular season has come to an end, it’s time to start looking ahead to the College Football Bowl Game schedule. Most of the bowl games will be over by the new year, but starting on December 17 you’ll pretty much have a quality college football game every night. There are 41 bowl games in total, and the postseason is taking place everywhere from the Bronx (the Pinstripe Bowl) to the Bahamas (the Bahamas Bowl), and Hawaii (the Hawaii Bowl).

Outside of the College Football Playoff Semi-final and Finals game, the one game we’re most looking forward to watching will be the Rose Bowl between Penn State and USC. Both teams had incredible turn-around and could have made the CFB Playoffs with a little luck and help from the outside. That being said, this is going to be a slobberknocker.

Check out the entire College Football Bowl Season schedule below, complete with date, time and TV channel. As the games are played, we’ll update the schedule with bowl game results.

Jordin Taylor, a freshman student at Texas State University, died tragically on the night of Friday, November 2, 2016. She was hit by a bus while attending an off-campus fraternity party, but her body wasn’t discovered until the next day by staff at Cool River Ranch.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jordin’s family, friends, and the entire Texas State community.

What Happened?

Taylor was attending an off-campus party hosted by Pi Kappa Alpha and other fraternities on Friday night at Cool River Ranch, a music and tubing venue in Martindale, Texas. According to an autopsy report, she was hit by a shuttle bus and dragged for 500 feet. It was not known at the time to the driver or any of the passengers that the bus had hit anyone or anything. Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke told the San Antonio Express-News that, “Nothing indicated the bus had struck anyone. It was late and dark. The driver was loading people to take them back to the colleges. He didn’t see anything.”

Her body wasn’t found until 14 hours later when mechanics began working on the bus. It was determined that the cause of the mechanical failures was the collision with her body. The driver’s supervisor told the driver to leave the bus where it was.

Who Was Jordin Taylor?

Jordin Taylor was a freshman student at Texas State University. Her friends describe her as a fun, bubbly girl who will be missed by everyone she met.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of DICK’S Sporting Goods . All opinions are 100% mine.

This past weekend I was casually talking to the boys about jerseys when my friend mentioned that he was thinking about getting his first New York Giants jersey. Naturally, we asked whose jersey he was going to buy, and he told us very matter-of-factly that he was going to get #13 AKA Odell Beckham Jr. Everyone started laughing. Don’t get me wrong, ODB Jr. is an absolute monster on the field and a top-five wide receiver, but I just can’t see my friend wearing the same thing (anything, really) that Odell Beckham Jr. wears. The two couldn’t be more opposite. ODB is the definition of a “wide-rediva.” Yes, he makes absurd catches and everything, but is that really the guy who you want to be representing or supporting when you put on your jersey?

So, of course I chimed in and told the homie to go get himself an Eli Manning jersey. You can’t go wrong rocking the threads of a two-time Super Bowl MVP, 13-year starting QB of your team, who’s also never been involved in any sort of scandal. Sure, sometimes he has the dumbest look on his face during games, but if you just take a peek at what some Giants fans look like after a 1:00 P.M. Sunday game at home, you’ll realize that Eli Manning and his fans have a lot in common.

That’s when my friend told me that I was lame and that ODB was the new face of the franchise. I don’t want to get too much into the boring conversation, but long story short I told him that there was no way that Eli Manning’s jersey was less popular than ODB Jr.’s jersey. No way. So we pulled up Dick’s Jersey Report on my phone and what I saw blew me away…

Not only was Odell Beckham Junior’s jersey the third-most popular jersey this season, Eli Manning was sitting all the way back at #25. The quarterback for the #1 market in sports is just one spot ahead of Seattle’s “The 12th Fan,” six spots behind Joe Flacco, and five behind Stefon Diggs. WTF? How is that even possible? Joe Flacco (as elite as he is) is the most vanilla QB in the league. If Baltimore fans are going to buy a jersey, they should at least make it Terrell Suggs or someone that fits the narrative of their team better.

What gives?

I did some more research on the Dick’s Jersey Report and played with some of the filter options (Offensive, Defensive, Rookies, Teams) and came to the conclusion that the reason Eli Manning’s jersey wasn’t selling as much was because he’s been in the league for so long. Anyone who has wanted an Eli Manning jersey has had time to buy one.

Of course, that doesn’t explain how people are picking up Joe Flacco jerseys faster than Eli Manning jerseys, but the one saving grace that makes me feel better is that the NY Giants have two players in the Top 25 and there are 32 teams in the NFL. Also, the top-selling Jets jersey is Darrelle Revis (who just said he doesn’t want to play anymore) at #54 and he’s sitting behind Jared Goff #51.

While Westworld’s first season has unfortunately come to a close, fans won’t have to wonder if the show is coming back, as Westworld was renewed for a second season before the first season was even finished. According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season of Westworld will also run for 10 episodes. Casey Bloys, HBO programming president, told The Hollywood Reporter that a 2018 premiere date was likely.

via The Hollywood Reporter:

“Westworld is such a big, ambitious show. I don’t know if it will be fall of 2017 or into ’18,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys told THR. “That will depend as we get up and running. With Westworld, because the production is such a big endeavor, I don’t exactly know when [it will premiere] yet. I can’t speculate other than to say it’ll either be ’17 or ’18. Probably more like ’18 and half-hours [Insecure and Divorce] in ’17 but we’re a year away so let’s see how it goes.”

According to Evan Rachel Wood, the actress who plays Dolores (arguably the main character), season two of the show will pick up from where season one left off, saying season two will move at ‘warp speed.’

Via Indiewire:

“I know a little about what’s coming in season two. I know how our ending for season one will segue into season two and… wow. That’s all I can say. I think it was always that season one was going to be this backstory and set up — getting to know the park and characters. I think season two is really going to be warp speed. The show might really start in season two.”

Westworld Season 2 Premiere Date

West world is likely to return in the early spring of 2018.

Matt Barnes, the forward for the Sacramento Kings, is wanted by the New York City Police Department for questioning after he’s been accused of choking a woman and punching two others in an NYC club on Sunday night/Monday morning. Both Barnes and DeMarcus Cousins were filmed by TMZ Sports coming out of Avenue, one of the more popular spots for professional athletes looking to blow off some steam on Sunday nights.

In the TMZ video, you can hear Cousins talking about how he had to punch someone who was trying to choke Barnes. Cousins then starts laughing, shaking his hand, and complaining that he left his coat and a bracelet back in the club–two things he says he won’t go inside to get. Barnes, however, doesn’t say anything.

Neither Matt Barnes nor DeMarcus Cousins were around by the time NYPD arrived at the scene. No charges have been filed at this time.

I’d just like to point out that while no charges have been filed, DeMarcus Cousins has a lot of growing up to do. And if the allegations of assault are true, then the same thing goes for Barnes. Why the f*ck would you as the franchise player of the Sacramento Kings talk freely and openly about punching someone when you see a TMZ camera around? As a Kings fan, I’m not asking you to be as quiet as Kawhi Leonard, but I don’t need you singing to the press about all of the altercations you’re in.

Last night was the season finale of WestWorld and holy smokes, was there a lot to take in during the 93-minute closing. Although a lot of the fan theories regarding timelines and character evolution turned out to be true, I think we can all agree that nobody saw the grand finale coming. So if you turned off the show before/during the credits to process what you just saw, you’d be forgiven.

The only issue is that you would have missed the post-credits scene with Armistice.

**SPOILER ALERT** **SPOILER ALERT** **SPOILER ALERT**

When we last checked in with Armistice, her arm was caught in the security door inside of SamuraiWorld, as she was running and trying to escape the QA Agents with Maeve, Hector, and Felix. It was believed that she was killed in action, but apparently, that’s not the case.

Does that mean that Hector’s not dead either? Does that mean that QA Agents are the worst security guards ever? A lot of unanswered questions we’ll see next season.

Bonus fun fact: Armistice means “to remove arms.” So yeah.

Unsure of what to get your ‘mans’ this Christmas? Well, me too! For me, the reason is that I don’t have a man but trust me, neither my wallet or I can complain about that. With that being said, the majority of my shopping will be done either at PetCo or PetSmart for my worm of a Chihuahua, who just happens to be the perfect stand-in ‘boyfriend’ this holiday season.

Men are usually the hardest people to shop for. Hands down. Even though they happen to be the simplest creatures out there, they’re still hard to shop for. Guaranteed. I actually researched more for Christmas gift ideas for past fling, than I did for my Research Methods and Analysis class back in college. BUT I am a total bro of a chick, who just so happens to have two older brothers.

Okay so, the actress who plays Arya Stark, Maisie Williams, has been of legal age for a while now and has been tearing it up ever since. Like any hot up-and-coming actress, she puts up photos on social media of her wearing little to now clothes. However, we just found out that her raciest photos yet have a message behind them: dolphin rights awareness. Yes, seriously.

Williams, 19, is the global ambassador for Ric O’Barry’s Dolphin Project campaign and is currently in the small Japanese town of Taiji in an effort to bring awareness to stopping the capture and killings of dolphins in Japan.

Via Fox:

Williams, 19, is the latest celebrity joining the cause to save dolphins. She hopes her influence, especially on social media, with 4 million followers on Instagram and 1.5 million on Twitter, will help the cause.

Williams, who is the global ambassador for O’Barry’s Dolphin Project campaign, said that only a handful of Taiji fishermen are benefiting from the practice and many Japanese don’t even know about Taiji.

“It’s not an attack on Japan at all, or on Taiji, or the people of Taiji,” she said. “I want to say, honestly, hand on heart, that this is not an attack on anyone in specific.”

And while at said cove, she took some pictures because, ya know, dolphins’ rights and stuff. I’ll tell you what, I’m now more woke to dolphins’ rights than I’ve ever been, so I guess her method is working.

So, this is the coolest news you’ll read today. Conor McGregor, all-world UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, will reportedly make an appearance in one of the two remaining seasons of the hit HBO show.

According to Belfast Live, the UFC fighter, 28, is reportedly in talks to appear in one of the remaining two series of the hit HBO series, which is filmed in Belfast:

“It’s been agreed that McGregor will appear in one of the remaining two seasons of ‘Game of Thrones,’” an unnamed source said, “He was headhunted as it were by HBO, as one of the ‘Game of Thrones’ directors is a huge UFC fan. They believed that he would be a perfect fit for the show.”

While we can’t imagine it’d be any more than a bit role, knowing the people behind Game Of Thrones, McGregor would be cast perfectly for an epic character. He’s got the look. He’s got the personality. He sure as hell has the voice. Hell, he’s already boys with Jon Snow, just check out that selfie above (kidding).

Plus, fans of Thrones and/or Conor McGregor will know these two worlds have already collided:

I’m seriously starting to think student-teacher sexual assault cases are a pandemic. Kind of like zombies, you know? We’ve gotta quarantine all these infected teachers. Throw Elizabeth Dillett in the theoretical quarantine as well. Or in real-life prison… Either/or.

Dillett, a 31-year-old former kindergarten teacher in Wisconsin, has been jailed for two years after being found guilty of having sex with a teenage boy. After two years in jail, she will serve another three years of extended supervision for her crime.

Via Fox:

Dillett pleaded guilty in October to two felony charges — two counts of sexual assault of a child by a person who works or volunteers with children. Six other charges were dismissed. Dillett, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, was the athletic director at St. Peter-Immanuel Lutheran School where she taught kindergarten.

Prosecutors say Dillett met the 16-year-old victim in this case through sports. The family of the victim says it was a year-long relationship.

Joshua Sheri, Dillett’s defense attorney, tried to claim that Dillet had no intentions of a relationship with the 16-year-old:

“This isn’t a circumstance where my client had some plan to have a relationship with (the victim)”

However, the Milwaukee County prosecutor argued otherwise, saying Dillett became close friends with the victim’s mother, with the prosecution also describing Dillett as manipulative. The victim’s mother described how the boy’s innocence was stolen:

“We have recognized that our son believed that he was in a healthy relationship. His opinions regarding relationships has become distorted since this incident,” said the victim’s father.

As a registered sex offender, Dillett will have to undergo mental evaluations and any appropriate treatment. She is to have no contact with children under the age of 17 and comply with the sex offender registry.

Didn’t already hate the Golden State Warriors? Here’s another reason why you should: Klay Thompson is a total f*cking narc.

In case you missed it, last week, Warriors coach Steve Kerr revealed in a podcast that he tried marijuana twice to help him recover from two back surgeries the past year and a half. He also stated that he hopes all professional sports leagues would allow the usage of marijuana as a form of treating pain, as opposed to allowing prescription drugs. Naturally, the sports media of the world asked his players about the quotes. That’s when Klay Thompson, who’s always been a shadowy character to begin with (Is he white? Black? Is that hair red? What is he?), blew his cover, giving the most narc-y answer in the history of drugs and policing.

via ESPN:

“But not recreation use,” Klay Thompson said. “That should not be of its use ever, but there’s obviously a medicinal side to [marijuana] that people are finding out have benefits, especially people in really high pain.”

“That should not be of its use ever”? Who the hell talks like that? What is that, old English? That’s like the high schooler who looks like he’s actually 24 asking you ‘Good sir, may I buy some marijuanas from you?’ Just sounds f*cking narc-y. I’ve always been skeptical of Klay Thompson, but now my theories are all but confirmed: Klay Thompson is a narc.

As GQ points out, this is a weird thing to say when A.) recreational marijuana just passed in California (where Thompson plays) and B.) when your teammates have called you “Big Smokey.” Klay Thompson is definitely a narc.

Or he’s trying to force a trade.

But still probably a narc.

Also, never forget that time Klay Thompson did this. He’s fine, you guys… totally fine.

Tomorrow, December 6, 2016, is Johnny Manziel’s 24th birthday. The man, the myth, the legend, Johnny Football will, in fact, live to see his 24th birthday. Now, why is this newsworthy? Well, because just as that feisty son of a bitch always has, he’s continuing to defy the odds. Or at least according to his father he is.

Johnny Manziel’s father, Paul, once famously said he feared his son wouldn’t live to see 24. In an interview with ESPN in June, Paul Manziel said:

“He’s a druggie. It’s not a secret that he’s a druggie,” Paul Manziel said in a phone interview Friday. “I don’t know what to say other than my son is a druggie and he needs help. He just hasn’t [sought] it yet. Hopefully he doesn’t die before he comes to his senses. That’s about all you can say. I don’t know what else to say.

“We’re so far past that,” he said. “That was years ago. We’re so far past what everybody thinks we are past. People are ignorant. It’s just a horrible story. That’s all there is to it. I mean, I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail. I mean, that would be the best place for him.”

“I’m done. I’m done talking about it,” he said. “I’m doing my job, and I’m going to move on. If I have to bury him, I’ll bury him. That’s the fact. So if not, if he calls me and needs help, I’ll go get him. Until then, he’s on his own. I’ve done everything I can do. There is nothing [else] I can do as a father. Nothing. … It is what it is. He’s a druggie, and everybody needs to accept it.”

Yeah, maybe a little drastic, but at the time it was totally plausible. This was around the time that his own lawyer, defense attorney Bob Hinton, indicated that Manziel’s legal team was seeking a plea deal with prosecutors in a hit-and-run suit but suggested that could be tricky.

“Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle,” the attorney wrote.

And yet, here we are, on the eve of J. Footz’s 24th, and he’s still alive & kickin’. So, in honor of Manziel making fools of us all and surviving to see his 24th birthday, I decided to round up all of the Johnny Manziel stories we’ve published in the last year. Yes, YEAR. Kid lives life at 1000 miles per hour and that’s why you must respect him.

We may be in the heart of the NFL Playoff Race, but that doesn’t mean that baseball can’t get a little bit of love in the month of December. Yesterday, my New York Yankees signed outfielder Matt Holliday to a one-year $13 million contract, where he will most likely serve as the team’s designated hitter for the 2017 season. For next year alone, I love this move for the Yankees, but I also think it’s an even better deal for the team as they get closer to the 2018 offseason, which will include some big name free agents.

The 2017 New York Yankees remain a bit of a mystery to me. I love all of the young talent that they brought up from the minors last year after they started unloading everyone at the trade deadline, but there are still a lot of question marks with the team. What does Gary Sanchez have for us as an encore in his first full season after playing out of his mind in just 53 games last year as a rookie (should have been Rookie of the Year, but that’s for another time)?  What other bats are going to provide some power in the lineup?  Which of the younger players is going to take the next step forward (looking at you Aaron Judge)? And who the hell is going to be in the starting rotation? A lot of these questions won’t be answered until the season starts, but the signing of Matt Holliday will help put a little bit of extra pop in the Yankees’ lineup.

This was not the sexiest of signings by the Bronx Bombers, but it was a necessary signing. By signing Holliday to just a one-year deal, they will still have money to go out and spend on (hopefully) bringing back Aroldis Chapman to move him to the closer role, and Dellin Betances back to the setup man position where he thrived in the past. It’s also a great signing because although he’s not the player he once used to be, Holliday still hit 20 home runs and drove in 62 RBIs last season, which will be a nice addition to a Yankees lineup that struggled with power last year. The veteran presence that Holliday will bring to a young clubhouse also cannot go overlooked. Holliday made two World Series appearances with the St. Louis Cardinals, winning one of them, so a player with that type of winning pedigree is key for a young team that is still learning how to win.

Although it’s a good move for the upcoming season, it’s an even better move for the Yankees as they prep for the future. Designated Hitter Edwin Encarnacion was one of two best hitters available in free agency this year, and although he’s hit at least 34 home runs and drove in 98 RBIs over the last five seasons, he’s also about to turn 34 and is demanding a $100 million contract. I initially talked myself into being okay with the Yankees signing him because while I think he could have put up some big numbers in the hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium, they also had to learn from their mistakes in the past by giving big contracts to players in their 30s. SO while it’ll suck having to face him, it’s a good thing that they aren’t tied up to him for the next four to five seasons. That brings us to the Free Agent Class of 2018, headlined by Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. They’re two of the best players in the game today, and they’re also both under the age of 25. When that offseason rolls around, the Yankees will not only have an Encarnacion contract not on their books, but the CC Sabathia and Alex Rodriguez contracts will also be off their books, freeing up a TON of money for the Yanks to spend. I love how the Yankees are trying to get away from giving out big contracts left and right like they have done in years past, but the problem with those contracts was that they were giving them to players in their 30s. Harper and Machado will both be 26 (I think) when they are free agents in two years, with still many prime years left ahead of them. I don’t know if the Yankees could get both of them, but if they could get one to pair with Sanchez, it could mean trouble for the MLB for years to come.

I don’t expect Matt Holliday to put up all-star numbers as he has in years past, but I do see him being a key contributor to the Yankees’ offense this year, while also keeping the clubhouse intact. Once 2018 rolls around, bypassing on Encarnacion for Holliday could pay off big time if the Yankees are able to land Harper or Machado. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Over the next few weeks, we’re taking some time off from voting to spotlight our Miss COED 2017 semifinalists and get to know each of them a bit better. First up is Heather from Michigan State University. The 21-year-old senior is studying Psychology and Criminal Justice and hopes to escape Michigan’s harsh winters for the sunny beaches of Florida or California upon graduation. I can’t say I blame her, honestly. I sat down with Heather to talk spring break, animal adoption, and her awesome role model mom.

If you could travel anywhere in the world for spring break, where would you go?

I would love to go to Santorini, Greece. My aunt passed away last spring and she always told me that was the one place in the world she wanted to go but never got the opportunity. I would love to be able to go there to honor her.

Who do you look up to the most and why?

The person I look up to the most is my mom. She is one of the most intelligent and beautiful women I know inside and out. She is completely selfless, which I think is very hard to find in the world today. She is my best friend, and I hope to one day just be half the woman she is.

Cliché, but where do you see yourself in five years? Ready, set, go!

In five years, I am hoping to have a successful career in either the field of psychology or criminal justice. I also am hoping to move somewhere a bit warmer since I have lived in Michigan my whole life! My dream location would either be Florida or California since both are gorgeous year-round and have awesome beaches!

What’s your biggest accomplishment thus far?

My biggest accomplishment thus far is making the Dean’s List all four years at Michigan State University. I only have more semester left after this, so let’s hope I make it then, too! It was extremely difficult but also gave me something to work for. Hopefully it pays off in the long run!

I also found out that Heather is a huge animal lover and is an avid supporter of Last Chance Rescue (LCR), a non-profit organization that rescues animals who would otherwise be euthanized, instead finding the pets loving homes. In fact, Heather has adopted a couple of her own. 

Tell us a little about your cat and dog you rescued from LCR!

My cat’s name is Dusty and we adopted her when she was two years old! She is extremely friendly and a little fluff ball. She still has a lot of kitten in her and loves to play, even though she’s older now. We adopted our dog, Louie, when he was three years old. He is a small black dog that just loves to sleep. He and his brother were given up because the family who had him before thought he was too much work. 

How did you first get involved with the organization?

My mom was the first one who showed me this because she was always very involved in charities for animals and told me if we ever got a pet, we would go to a shelter of some sort.

What is the most rewarding part about working with the organization?

The most rewarding part is seeing families adopt the animals and knowing they will be loved. Especially if the animals have been in the shelter for a while.

How can someone get involved?

If you just Google ‘Last Chance Rescue,’ you can normally go and volunteer at the local facility, even if it is just walking the dogs or playing with the cats.

Tell us anything else you’d like our readers to know about Last Chance Rescue!

I would like the readers to know that Last Chance Rescue is a no kill shelter! So all of the animals are well taken care of.

Kendall Scheid, a University of Akron student, was arrested after allegedly killing and stabbing his roommate, Duncan Unternaher, because of an argument that stemmed over fast food. The attack happened around roughly 12:30 A.M. at the apartment in the 400 block of Grant Street.

Unternaher was also a student at the University of Akron and was a Phi Delta Theta brother. His fraternity and the University of Akron American Marketing Association both shared heartwarming images and thoughts on Duncan on Facebook. In fact, many believed Duncan was still alive at the time the messages were posted, so they also shared as a way of informing the community about the tragic situation.

Our thoughts are with Duncan Unternaher’s friends and family in this time of need..

What Happened?

Kendall Scheid and his friend/roommate Duncan Unternaher got into an argument during the late night hours of Saturday, December 3. According to Scheid’s statements to police, the argument was over fast food. It’s not known what kind of fast food they were arguing about or what specifically they were arguing over, but Scheid stabbed Unternaher in the chest with a knife.

After the stabbing, Scheid called 911 and requested an ambulance for his roommate.

Unternaher was rushed to Akron City hospital where he was placed on heart and lung support. After battling for his life over a 36-hour period, Duncan was pronounced dead.

The University of Akron had this official statement:

The University of Akron community is deeply saddened by this tragedy. University officials, including UA President Matthew Wilson, have been with his family and friends since the incident became known. UA has offered its full support to the family and to his fellow students. Grief counselors are being made available to those who find themselves in need of those services.

Who Is Kendall Scheid?

Kendall is a 22-year-old student at the University of Akron. He was charged with felonious assault after stabbing (and subsequently killing) his friend and roommate, Duncan Unternaher.

Are you ready for the most anticipated pub crawl of all year? Have you been prepping your liver solely for the month of December? Let’s hope so because it’s time to get in the holiday spirit for SantaCon.

You are either a fan of the event’s silly culture or not, but, at the end of the day, who really cares? Honestly, I will take any excuse to dress up and make a spectacle of myself. Plus, I am too impatient to wait until St. Patrick’s Day to do it all over again. I like a good holiday costume. This is supposed to be the time of year where we all have fun, come together, and spread cheer, so don’t be afraid to look ridiculous and hang out with your friends while quoting Elf.

So whatever your preference is, just remember the spirit of Christmas. Put on your red leotards, slip on some elf shoes, and grab the closest breathing body you can find because you are about to find out when SantaCon 2016 is comin’ to town.

There you have it! All of the info you can possibly find on this festive drinking day. If you have time, dedication, and are just flat out lucky then maybe you and your friends can strategize a SantaCon road trip. Ideally, a sleigh and some reindeer would be nice, but whatever you do just don’t drink and drive.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Stay safe and be merry!

SantaCon 2016 is right around the corner and in five days the festivities will kick off worldwide. What exactly is SantaCon, you ask? It’s honestly like a second Halloween, except it’s a lot less scary…and everyone is wearing the same costume.

Traditionally, you get the chance to have your own creation spin on the age-old Santa costume, as well as the opportunity to dress like other Christmas characters and bring them to life in costume form! Of course, you can do this while also getting the luxury of a pub crawl, making it possible to drink the whole merry way through. Still not satisfied? Let’s delve into the history of how these holiday shenanigans got started in the first place!

When Did SantaCon Start?

‘Twas the year of 1994 in San Francisco, California. A time in which a flood of ideas would grace our eternity with many traditions to come, SantaCon being one of them. The idea was actually influenced purely by a Danish anarchist group, Solvognen, who were kind of like a low-key Robin Hood. Solvognen was a group of multiple guys who were dressed up as Santa as they stole things off of store shelves, handing them out as ‘presents’ to the public.

SantaCon was intended to make light of the holiday and apparently this ritual was never meant to reoccur in the first place! The holiday was not as beloved then as it is today. After all, its original inception was coined SantARCHY until it later changed for publicity purposes. It swept the cities of Portland, Seattle, and LA before finally making its way beyond the West Coast. It finally made its way to New York in 1998, when Santa’s sleigh took flight into one of the biggest (and arguably most controversial) holidays of all time.

Obviously, the holiday has evolved into a bunch of people dressing up in the true holiday spirit just to go out to have a grand ole’ time, making it international.

SantaCon may not be your cup of tea but maybe it’s right up your alley. Who knows? All I can say is make sure to embody the holiday spirit and be kind to those around you regardless of your plans this season.

Also, before you grab your mittens and head out to for the holiday pub crawl, if anyone is trying to sell you tickets for SantaCon, it’s a total scam. It is completely free, unless the bouncer asks for an entry fee, got it? Other than that, what’s yours is yours. Happy holidays!

December is finally here, so break out the eggnog, grab the shopping catalog, and take a look at your phone so you can check out all of the funniest Christmas-themed memes of 2016. The Elf on the Shelf is a doll that families pull out every Christmas to make sure their kids will behave. If they do anything wrong, the jolly little elf will report to Santa Claus. Some parents, on the other hand, prefer to find funny and crazy poses for their elves to make their holidays all the more cheerful.

While these jokes might be a bit juvenile in taste, we can’t help but feel that it’s funny nonetheless. With pictures of elves getting high off of sugar, it’s hard to ignore the irony that is the joy of Christmas, and it’s pretty funny, too.

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, at least we know what the elves have been up to all year.

Week 13 of the NFL season wraps up tonight, with the 5-6 Indianapolis Colts visiting the 3-8 New York Jets. The Colts, who are technically third in the AFC South, can pull even with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans at 6-6. A win tonight will go a long way towards the Colts making a last season push in pursuit of the playoffs. As for the New York Jets, the season was over before it ever began, as they dug themselves an early hole they were never able to dig themselves out of.

Colts quarterback Andrew Luck returns from concussion protocol. The Colts really needed him, too, as they got whooped by the Steelers on Thanksgiving without him. As for the Jets quarterback situation, New York invested heavily in Fitzpatrick, hoping he could repeat last season’s output and carry the Jets to the postseason run, but the 34-year-old veteran has not delivered. Fitz has thrown a league-high nine fourth-quarter picks, and is also 31st in passer rating (72.2). At this point in the season, the Jets are better off losing.

While tonight’s game may seem meaningless, it is the last game of the fantasy football regular season, so there are sure to be plenty of people watching. Besides, football is football, so make sure you find out how to live stream the Colts vs. Jets game below!
