Overtime
Because puppies make everyone’s day better, the Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl returns on Sunday for its 16th season with the cutest adoptable dogs battling it out for the Lombarky Trophy. (A tribute to the Super Bowl trophy - the Lombardi Trophy). Whoever writes the bios for these “athletes” deserves a trophy too. These sporty pups include one who is "studying to be a bark-itect" and our favorite, one who "looking for the Ross to her Rachel." ADORABLE AND ADOPTABLE
Sideline Stat
You may have heard rumors about the NBA (National Basketball Association) tweaking the all-star game to spice things up. Well, the rumors are true and the new format is definitely confusing but it will include a tribute to Kobe to determine the winner. The NBA All-Star game will be in Chicago on February 16. SPELL IT OUT FOR ME
Coaches’ corner
After re-scheduling their game earlier this week, the Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) first home game since the helicopter crash that killed Kobe and Gianna Bryant along with seven others, is tonight. We don’t know the details yet but a tribute to all the victims is planned. Los Angeles loves Kobe and that’s obvious by the soaring ticket prices for tonight’s game. StubHub announced that it will be donating the proceeds from the ticket sales for this game to the Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation. Bryant played the entirety of his 20-year career with the Lakers. HOME
What to watch
American Sofia Kenin ousted the No. 1 seeded player in the Australian Open (tennis) to head to her first ever major final. If that’s not remarkable enough, with that feat, she became the youngest player to defeat a No. 1 player in a major 17 years. It also earned her a shout out from American tennis legend Andy Roddick. She’ll play at 3:30 am EST on Saturday for her first ever Grand Slam (i.e. major) win. GAME ON
