data-mm-id=”_5oycmmuye”>Tommy DeVito has been starting at quarterback for the New York Giants and sort of Tim Tebow-ing his way to victories. But did you know that he's also Italian? It's a storyline that's gone mysteriously uncovered during his little run and we hope to learn more about this in the future. DeVito has continued to use his arm and legs with some measure of success in one of the Monday Night Football games against the Green Bay Packers and this impressive scramble set up a go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter. And wouldn't you know — ESPN found his friends in the family in the stands for a reaction shot. They did not disappoint.

As a non-partial observer, sure, it's mildly annoying and one-note. As a purveyor of quick sports blogs, on the other hand, I appreciate how electric DeVito's support staff is from the moment they show up to the tailgate to the moment the game their favorite quarterback is playing in gets decided by a field goal. same vibe https://t.co/GsAcBCvIFu pic.twitter.com/FswCmoopqH— Bill DiFilippo (@billdifilippo) December 12, 2023In all seriousness, this is legitimately a fun story. There are so many laughs to be had and it feels like a throwback to a simpler era of sports fandom. Kinda hope it lasts for a while.

The full-back returned from international exile in September after over two years away from the national team, and scored his first international goal in over three years in Friday s 5-0 win over Honduras.

Chelsea have announced the managing director Christian Purslow is stepping down from his role at the club.
The 53-year-old, who held a similar role at Liverpool, moved to Stamford Bridge in 2014 and has helped to orchestrate a number of commercial deals.
Lucrative kit and shirt sponsorship deals with Nike and Yokohama Rubber respectively helped Chelsea to increase their financial strength during a period in which they won the Premier League, and EFL Cup before last season s disappointing displays.

Steve McClaren splashed out £12million on the out-of-favour former Tottenham winger to bolster Newcastle’s attacking options in order to secure Premier League survival.
Townsend believes he can prove doubters of his ability wrong after moving to the north-east and is hoping to work his way back into contention for England’s Euro 2016 squad.
I’ve got a massive point to prove now and hopefully Newcastle will benefit from that, the 24-year-old said.
My last full 90 minutes in the Premier League was just under two years ago so I’ve not played consistently in a long time.
But the last time I pla…

Two sides who have their sights set on securing a Champions League ticket in 2024, Atalanta will welcome Bologna to Bergamo on Sunday evening.
Starting with the hosts, eventually falling to a nightmare 4-0 drumming against AC Milan earlier in the week, Atalanta will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, suffering just a single domestic defeat across any competition since way back on December 23rd, La Dea have still received a string of plaudits this season. Opening this weekend’s fixtures leading the chase in the Champions League race, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have also continued to shine with their rampant performances on home soil this year. Last seen in Bergamo storming their way to a routine …
Market: Mallorca win
Odds: 2/3 @
Looking to sign off the 2020/21 campaign with a real flurry on Sunday night, Mallorca will make the trip to the Estadio El Toralín when they face off against Ponferradina.
Starting with the hosts, while Ponferradina might have managed to wrap up a top-half finish with time to spare this year, they have endured a worrying end to the 2020/21 campaign. Showing some real signs of fatigue and a side really limping their way over the finish line, the El Bierzo-based outfit have long since seen any chance of a play-off charge go up in smoke. Last seen earlier in the week when putting in another sluggish display, La Ponfe were hit with a deserved 2-0 defeat away at Sabadell and they really failed to bounce back from that 4-1 drumming at…
