The GIST: We're so proud that Ram Aaron Donald earned his third Defensive Player of the Year award and that Charger Justin Herbert was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. And we're still shook that pitcher Trevor Bauer signed with the Dodgers. But today, let’s talk college hoops.

The GIST: It was hyped as an epic QB battle, pitting the GOAT against the Kid, and the 43-year-old showed, once again, that age is just a number. Hey Google, play “7 rings” by Ariana Grande.

This Week from the Cowboys, Mavericks, and Rangers.

The GIST: Super Bowl, what? We multitasked while sipping on our Starbucks (hello, new OL Reign sponsor) and focused on our college women’s basketball and soccer teams, too.

The GIST: The Super Bowl is as much about the on-field action as it is about the off-field entertainment, so we're ranking our favorites from “okay” to “okayyyyyyy!”

The GIST: To no one’s surprise, Washington Football Team QB Alex Smith and defensive end Chase Young brought home Comeback Player of the Year (still crying) and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, respectively. But now, onto the Capitals and the Mystics.

The GIST: Let our local college teams help you ring in the weekend a little early with some basketball and volleyball action tonight.

The GIST: The Liberty signed forward Betnijah Laney, and the Knicks topped the Chicago Bulls. But after walking down memory lane with the Jets on Monday, today we’re paying homage to the Giants’ Super Bowl history.

News from the Nationals, Capitals, and Wizards

The GIST: The Bulls dropped another to the New York Knicks last night, and the Blackhawks won’t get another crack at the Carolina Hurricanes until tonight at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. So, with the Super Bowl right around the corner, today we’re doing something different: taking a trip down memory lane to when our Chicago Bears were world champions.

The GIST: From retirements to cancellations to big wins, there’s been a flurry of news in Boston this week. Whether you’re still shoveling Monday’s snow or prepping for the next round, let us guide you through the sports storm.
