WATCH🚨: A 91-year-old grandmother missed her daily check-in calls, so her family requested a welfare check.
When police showed up, they found her in her room... absolutely locked in, trying to beat her personal record on a video game 😭
Everyone had a good laugh, and she was perfectly fine. Gamer grandma stays winning!
On Super Bowl Sunday, we’re honoring a moment that changed the game.
In 1988, Doug Williams made history as the first Black quarterback to start, win, and be named MVP of the Super Bowl, leading the Washington Redskins to a 42–10 victory in Super Bowl XXII. He threw for 340 yards and four touchdown passes, including four scores in a single quarter, delivering one of the most dominant performances the Super Bowl had ever seen.
A proud Grambling State University alum, Williams’ breakthrough helped shift how Black quarterbacks were viewed, trusted, and given opportunities. In the years since, Black quarterbacks have gone on to become franchise leaders, Super Bowl starters, and league MVPs.
His Super Bowl performance wasn’t the end of the story. It was the beginning of a new one that helped rewrite what is possible today on football’s biggest stage. 🖤
