In one of the ugliest games of the 2025 NFL season, the (7-8) Minnesota Vikings defeated the (2-13) New York Giants 16-13. The loss was New York’s ninth straight and enhanced their chances of getting the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The two teams had a combined 22 accepted penalties, and the lone offensive touchdown scored all afternoon was a J.J. McCarthy 12-yard run in the second quarter.

To put in perspective how bad this season has been for the Giants, they’ve fired more coaches this year (Brian Daboll, Shane Bowen, and Brian Cox) than they have wins.

The offense was disastrous on Sunday as they were only able to muster 141 yards. But they still could have come away with a victory if Abdul Carter hadn’t lined up offside on a Jevon Holland 96-yard interception return for a touchdown. But as they say, bad teams will find ways to lose.

Dyker Heights is once again the epicenter of electrifying Christmas magic — enough to knock your stockings off!

Every holiday season, just after Thanksgiving, the Brooklyn neighborhood — which stretches from 11th to 13th avenues and from 83rd Street to 86th Street — is transformed into a winter wonderland.

Throngs of all ages flock to the nabe like wise men to Bethlehem to gaze at life-sized Santas, sleds and snowmen — as well as aliens in sports cars; humongous toy soldiers; and mountainous milk and cookies left for Father Christmas.

Subtlety is sidelined. From lawns to rooftops, every inch of property is covered with illuminated choirboys, angels, wreaths and snowflakes.

The New Orleans Saints (5-10), behind five field goals by Charlie Smyth, defeated the New York Jets (3-12) 29-6 at Caesars Superdome.

New Orleans won its third consecutive game while the Jets lost their third in a row and fourth out of their last five games.

Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough carved up the Jets defense finishing 32 for 49 with 308 yards and a touchdown pass. 

Sunday marked Chris Harris‘ first game as Jets interim defensive coordinator. Following Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence scoring six touchdowns last week, the Jets defense couldn’t get much worse. 

In the second start of his career, Jets QB Brady Cook failed to show much growth from last week’s game. Cook was sacked eight times due to his lack of pocket presence. 

The Jets rushing attack struggled to get going. Breece Hall finished with 54 rushing yards on the ground and the Jets averaged just 3.2 yards rushing.

The Jets will play their final game at MetLife Stadium this season next weekend when they host the New England Patriots.

NEW YORK—Vivid Cabaret New York, the high-energy adult club known for its sexy dancers, party atmosphere, and the city’s tallest stripper pole, held another of its famous pole dance contests with several of the sexy Vivid girls performing on the 28 foot tall main stage pole.  

Vivid Cabaret girls showed off their aerial skills in front of a packed house at the multi-level club known for its exclusive VIP Ultra Lounge; celebrity clientele, luxury private suites, the latest in high-tech lighting and sound, and Roof Top Cigar Bar. 

TV personality Matt Richards hosted the event. The celebrity judges were comedian Sam Jay, actor Derek Gaines, and celebrity photographer Jim McLernon.   

The Vivid girls competed for cash prizes and the audience response was pure electric. There were bottles popping all night, and the girls all received cheers and praise. Vivid girl Layla was awarded first place, and all the girls were spectacular. 

“It was non-stop fun,” said Vivid girl Kristi. “The girls had a lot of awesome moves, and it was thrilling watching them on the giant main stage pole. There were some sports stars in the audience, but I can’t reveal any names because we respect everyone’s privacy.” 

“We love to party and play,” purred Vivid girl Mandi. “Come visit us and make it rain on all the hot girls. It’s always so exciting at Vivid. Don’t miss it!” Vivid Cabaret is the sister club to the world famous Rick’s Cabaret NYC.

Denny’s, the breakfast chain known for classic diner food and its Grand Slam Breakfast, is going private in a $620 million deal orchestrated by a group of investors.

The deal values the chain at $620 million, including debt. The investors purchasing the company are private equity investment company TriArtisan Capital Advisors, investment firm Treville Capital and Denny’s franchisee Yadav Enterprises.

Under the agreement, Denny’s shareholders will receive $6.25 per share in cash for each share of Denny’s common stock they own, or a total of $322 million. That represents a 52% premium to Denny’s closing stock price on Monday. 

Founded in 1953 as Danny’s Donuts, the company changed its name to Denny’s in 1959 to avoid confusion with another chain, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange a decade later. During the past two years, Denny’s has struggled to boost sales as consumers shifted toward a reliance on delivery through apps.

On a breezy and balmy day in Jacksonville, Florida, the New York Jets lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 48 – 20, for their 11th loss of the season.

The Jaguars may or may not ever earn respect. What they’re doing in the meantime is winning – and doing so in increasingly impressive fashion, with a quarterback playing the same way.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence passed for career-high 5 touchdowns and ran for another as the surging, AFC South-leading Jaguars turned in yet another one-sided late-season victory in front of 60,815 at EverBank Stadium Sunday afternoon.

The Jets lost ugly to the Jags – further cementing their spot as one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Jets also further solidified their draft position, which is now looking like it could be in the top five. 

The Jets drop to 3-11 on the season. Now the Jets prepare to go on the road to face the New Orleans Saints next week.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran for a touchdown, fellow rookie Jaylin Lane returned a punt 63 yards to the end zone and the Washington Commanders ended their season-derailing skid at eight games by beating the similarly woeful New York Giants 29-21 on Sunday.

The only NFL game this week with no playoff implications has a far bigger bearing on draft positioning. The Giants (2-12) lost their eighth in a row, moving a step closer to the top pick, a last-place finish in the NFC East and potentially front-office changes, with a coaching search already coming.

Jayden Daniels’ didn’t play Sunday after aggravating a left elbow injury, so it was Marcus Mariota who quarterbacked the Commanders to their first victory since Oct. 5.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart had TD passes to Tyrone Tracy and Wan’Dale Robinson but also threw a costly interception and was incomplete on a fourth-and-goal attempt with 10 minutes left.

Tracy ran for the Giants’ first touchdown after falling behind 13-0, and his TD catch happened when they were down 22-7.

Pete Alonso has agreed to a five-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles.

The contract comes a year after Alonso, 30, struggled to secure a long-term deal on the free-agent market. With the move, the Orioles finally have their big-name free agent.

Alonso fits in well with the Orioles. Alonso immediately gives the team a middle-of-the-order power bat capable of posting big numbers regardless of the ballpark. That should work out well in Baltimore, where righties have had a tough time hitting home runs since the team altered the wall in left field.

After failing to land the mega-deal he desired last offseason, Alonso signed a two-year, $54 million pact to return to the New York Mets. That deal contained an opt-out  after the first year, allowing Alonso to test the free-agent waters again.

On a cold and cloudy day in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Jets lost to the Miami Dolphins, 34 – 10 for their 10th loss of the season.

The first half saw the Jets defense annihilated. The  Dolphins moved the ball at will early in the game as they scored touchdowns on each of their first three possessions. 

Isaiah Williams briefly gave the Jets hope with a 78  yard punt return to cut the Dolphins lead to 21 – 7. It was the lone bright spot for the Jets.

Jets QB Tyrod Taylor left the game with an injury, replaced under center by undrafted rookie Brady Cook. 

The Dolphins took over and Jaylen Wright led a long, run-dominated, clock chewing drive. With a little more than six minutes remaining in the game the Dolphins put it away. At 31 – 10, the rest of the game was garbage time.

Old friend Zach Wilson came on in mop up duty for the Dolphins. It was his first appearance in an NFL game since he left the Jets. Wilson led a late field goal drive to add insult to injury and bring the final score to 34 – 10.

The Jets drop to 3-10 on the season. Now the Jets prepare to go on the road to face the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.
