Today's UPDATES

Christmas is just a week away and we're all getting ready for the festivities, we still have two more weeks of the 2017 NFL Season left, which means that it's now or never for the teams that are in playoff contention. The Philadelphia Eagles need to win one more game to clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs and the Los Angeles Rams need to win again to clinch the NFC West division, so everything is all set for these teams to get the job done. Right now, three teams from the NFC South division are in the Playoff Picture, those teams being the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons, they all need just one win to get in, but since the Falcons face the Saints next Sunday, only two of the three NFC South teams can clinch, and if the Saints win and Panthers lose, they will clinch the division. The Minnesota Vikings will need a win and Panthers loss in order to grab a first-round bye and also hope that the Eagles lose as well so can they will be eligible for home-field throughout the NFC playoffs. This why we all love NFL Football because it's the end of the season that always gets exciting, for proof on this, Max Sports has the full schedule for Week 16, plus the match card for the WWE Royal Rumble on January 28th is taking shape and already has a powerhouse of matches.

The post will be all about women for the rest of the way, because we have two important topics we have to talk about. First is our #TwitterTrend and it's about the announcement that was made during last night's Monday Night Raw on USA Network. In match that pitted Absolution's Paige, Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose against Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James, the action spilled outside of the ring and there was so much confusion that not even the referee could get things under control. Soon, Absolution started a beatdown on their three opponents, this would lead to the entire Raw Women's roster to come down to the ring and put a stop this. But believe it or not, the chaos ended when Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon came to the ring with that big announcement i spoke earlier, for the 1st time in the history of the WWE, there will be a Women's Royal Rumble match and it will take place on January 28th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The entire WWE Universe is clamoring about this big news and can't wait to see the women of Raw, SmackDown and NXT make history like never before, and see what they all had to about the first ever Women's Royal Rumble.

In closing, the other women's topic I want to talk about is the Ocean's 8 movie trailer that just arrived today. Ocean's 8 is both a sequel and spin-off of the Ocean's Trilogy which starred Gorge Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Bernie Mac. This new film have an all-female cast that will look to pull off the heist of the century at New York City's star-studded annual Met Gala. The cast in general couldn't be any perfect, but we have Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, Danny Ocean's estranged sister , leading the charge alongside other characters that are Cate Blanchett as Lou, Helena Bonham Carter as Rose, Anne Hathaway, as Daphne Kluger, Rihanna as Nine Ball, Sarah Paulson as Tammy, Mindy Kaling as Amita, and New York City native Awkwafina as Constance. I don't know if I should go out and see this movie when it comes out in theaters on June 8, 2018, a week after Deadpool 2 premieres, and this just goes to show that 2018 will be filled with so many blockbuster film that they will outdo the movies of 2017 in a very big way. Now on to the trailer for Ocean's 8 which is provided by Web Choice, and this is where you'll see how these band of ladies look to get their job done.
