For all but a select few sports fans, much of the news surrounding teams and players is far from good. Losses, injuries, playoff eliminations, suspensions, last-place fantasy football punishments, you name it.

So, we decided to put together something that can bring a smile to every sports fan’s face: Yahoo Sports’ #FeelGoodFriday Sports News!

Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin visit patients at Peyton Manning's Children's Hospital

Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin may be in their football offseason, but they never take time off from giving back and making a difference.

This week, the pair of Seahawks players visited none other than Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis to hang out with patients.

One patient in particular expressed how much their appearance meant to her.

The hospital itself is a feel-good story: Because of all the time, money and personal attention Manning had given to then-St. Vincent’s Children’s Hospital and its patients, the company elected to change the name of the Indianapolis location back in 2007 to honor the former Colts quarterback.

But the one he received ahead of Thursday’s game against the 76ers in Philadelphia is right up there with the best of them, thanks to city and league legend Allen Iverson.

“You were so great for us fans ... Definitely one of the best two-guards to ever play the game,” fellow shooting guard AI said. “His toughness was undeniable.”

Jordan Morris makes first appearance after yearlong injury

On Feb. 22, 2018, promising USMNT and Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris tore his ACL.

“It was amazing,” Morris said. “That’s what I was dreaming about through last year: Coming back on the field, hearing the crowd and being back here at home.”
