Ryder Cup Europe wishes you all a Merry Christmas (while dunking on Team USA)

“Merry Christmas from everyone at Ryder Cup Europe,” said captain Luke Donald, “and a happy two more years.”

When it comes to online content, the DP World Tour has dominated on social media compared to other tours and golf’s governing bodies. That’s why it’s no surprise that Ryder Cup Europe shared a hilarious video on Saturday.

In the video, winning 2023 captain and future 2025 captain Luke Donald is seen polishing one of seven Ryder Cups (most likely to represent the seven victories Team Europe has in the biennial bash against the Americans in the last 20 years).

“Merry Christmas from everyone at Ryder Cup Europe,” Donald said, “and a happy two more years.”

The 2025 event will be held Sept. 25–28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. As mentioned earlier, Donald will return for two more years as the captain of the Europeans, while the U.S. have yet to announce a captain.

The video paid homage to some of the best chants from the 2023 edition in Italy – where the Europeans dominated – including Team Europe and Rory McIlroy’s celebration song, “the USA is terrified, Europe’s on fire.”

Caleb Williams and the USC 12 Days of Christmas for 2022

On the 12th day of Christmas, Good Caleb gave SC: 12 special weekends. #MerryChristmas from Trojans Wire.

Caleb Williams had a season for the ages in 2022. He won the Heisman Trophy. He threw for over 4,000 yards. Perhaps the most amazing fact of all is that he threw just four interceptions over the course of 13 largely dazzling games. He had only one clunker, the Oregon State game, but even then, he led a cash-money crunch-time touchdown drive to win the game in the final 90 seconds. He was simply brilliant for USC this year, the main reason the Trojans went from being a 4-8 team to a New Year’s Six bowl team in one season under coach Lincoln Riley.

We at Trojans Wire wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. USC football gave Trojan fans a lot of gifts in 2022, Caleb Williams being the foremost version of Santa Claus in a helmet and shoulder pads.

Here is the 2022 version of “The Caleb Williams 12 Days of USC Christmas,” with a 2023 version hopefully leading to the College Football Playoff:

Lincoln Riley and the USC 12 days of Christmas — 2022 version

On the 12th day of Christmas, Coach Riley gave SC: 12 touchdown catchers. True story. #MerryChristmas to @TJAltimore @TPrangleyJr and @LBCTrojan from Trojans Wire.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Trojans Wire. What a year we had at this website. Lincoln Riley made USC football relevant and memorable once again. The Trojans were not 4-8. They did not slide into obscurity and mediocrity. They didn’t lose a bunch of games at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Heck, they didn’t lose a single game at the Coliseum or in Los Angeles (sorry, UCLA!).

USC won 11 regular-season games. It swept Notre Dame and UCLA for the first time since 2016. The Trojans reached the Pac-12 Championship Game, which they were not predicted to do before the season began. They reached a New Year’s Six bowl game in Year 1 of the Lincoln Riley area. There is a lot to be thankful for, even though the Trojans were one win away from the College Football Playoff and failed to get there.

We present the 2022 edition of the USC 12 Days of Christmas through the prism of Lincoln Riley:

Christmas Wishes: 6 things we’d like to see for the Bears in 2020

We’d like to think that we’ve been good boys and girls this year, so we’re asking Santa to help our Chicago Bears out in 2020.

With the holidays upon it, the NFL’s regular season is about to wrap up as 12 teams prepare for the postseason. The Chicago Bears are not one of those teams.

After a disappointing 2019 season, one that was once ripe with expectations, they’ll be headed into an early hibernation with many questions to be answered.

So in the holiday spirit, here are six things we’re asking Santa for the Bears as they head into 2020:

1. Efficient offensive play calling

The responsibility of the offense starts with head coach/play caller Matt Nagy, who wasn’t able to take his offense to the next step in the second year of his offense. While a large part of the offense’s struggles were execution, it trickled down to the play caller who didn’t seem to put them in a position to execute.

Whether Nagy has to step down as offensive play caller or he takes this offseason to do some self reflecting about his role in the offense’s woes, the Bears need a competent play caller to make this offense run in 2020.
