JARED QUAY: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the NFL. When you're the starting quarterback, it's basically your job to play Santa Claus even if you're injured. Jalen Hurts got his offensive line Louis Vuitton bags, and his entire quarterback room Jordan 11s.
Trey Lance, who's done for the year with an ankle injury, gifted the entire 49ers roster with Soundbars. And sometimes-starter Zach Wilson hooked up the Jets offensive line with these dope scooters. Any of those offensive linemen who aren't already injured are about to be after riding those tiny things. I wouldn't be surprised if riding those was prohibited in players' contracts.
- But it's the thought that counts.
JARED QUAY: Zach Wilson isn't the only festive Jet player. Linebacker Quincy Williams showed up in full Grinch mode for New York's Thursday Night game against his former team, the Jaguars.
- Y'all already know what movie we in, man. Ooh! Ruining Christmas for them.
JARED QUAY: Unfortunately for Quincy, it was the Jags who played the Grinch as Jacksonville handed the Jets their fourth straight loss, further diminishing New York's playoff hopes. You know who's getting a lump of coal for Christmas this year?
- I'm dying to know.
JARED QUAY: The grinchy lady who straight up harassed the Patriots fan seated next to her in Las Vegas when the Raiders beat New England on the final play of the game.
- Who does that?
JARED QUAY: The video of Pats fan Jerry Edmond keeping his cool despite homegirl's inappropriate behavior went viral on Twitter. So you can guess what happened next, right?
- I did get a call from Robert Kraft today. They invited me out to the game.
JARED QUAY: Jerry's going to Foxborough for Saturday's game against the Bengals, where he'll watch the game, use pre-game field passes, and get a custom jersey. Robert Kraft coming through with one hell of a Hanukkah present.
- [SINGING] So much funnnukah to celebrate Hanukkah,
JARED QUAY: Since it's the holidays, can't we all just be a little kinder during the last week of 2022?
- Where's your Christmas spirit?
JARED QUAY: As a general rule, if you can't go to a sporting event without trying to fight somebody, keep your ass at home and watch it on TV. Kick your television. That's what you can do. If you angry, learn how to punch things that cost you a lot of money. So when you fix it, you'll be like, man, I got to stop doing that.
