This Week's UPDATES

Christmas is three days away and now that we've put up all the lights around the house, we can move on to wrapping gifts and putting them under the Christmas tree. Believe it or not, we haven't done that, and there's not much time but we'll make it work, we always do. Elsewhere, my grades from session one of my fall semester came and I got a A- in English 102 just as I did in English 101 back in the spring, I got two more As in Mass Media and Astronomy, but the sad news is that I got a B in American Film. I really liked that last class and I find it hard to believe that I did not do as well as I thought in it, but there's no point of crying about it now, I only have two weeks to enjoy myself and not think about college. One way to enjoy Christmas break is by sharing this week's 7-Day Round-Up with my the #KlicKNet viewers out there.

Our Main Story this week is about football, the sport invented in 1869 by a very white guy. There are only weeks left in the NFL 2019 Season and things starting to become crystal clear when it comes to the 2020 playoffs. So far, ten teams have clinched for the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints have won their division, but for these teams there a lot more work to be done. The Ravens can clinch:home-field advantage with just one more win, but if Kansas City loses today, then the Ravens and Patriots will both win first-round byes. The Dallas Cowboys have a chance to win the NFC East if they beat their division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles, and if the Green Bay Packers the beat the Minnesota Vikings tomorrow night, then they are NFC North Champions. The Vikings are already in the playoffs after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams last night, but as the Vikings prepare the Packs tomorrow, they have a chance to take the NFC North Division for themselves. The 49ers victory last night means that their hopes of being #1 in the NFC is very much alive, but with their division rivals Seattle Seahawks in a match up with the Arizona Cardinals today, we could be looking a NFC West Winner-Take-All Week 17 game between the Seattle and San Francisco next week. It's going to a fantastic Week 16 today and to remind everyone the games taking, we go now to today's Max Sports rundown.

#JustSoYouKnow, Eddie Murphy returned to Saturday Night LIVE last night as the host for the first time in 35 years. Let me tell you this, he was absolutely hilarious from start to finish and if there's someone out their that doesn't believe me, they should watch these videos. They should consider this as another Christmas surprise from me, and I got one more lined up for New Year's.
