Megan Fox Unveils Super Bowl Lingerie, KC Farm Girl Tests NFL Honors Dress Code & Jim Nantz Shields Tony Romo
Well, we've made it. Super Bowl weekend. It's here, and it's bringing everything with it – including the always-popular NFL Honors red carpet!
Frankly, it's my favorite time of year. Content gold. Whenever you can put Kay Adams, Alix Earle and Kansas City farmer Lacey Jane Brown in the same room together, it's gonna be a good night.
Mix in some Megan Fox coming out of NOWHERE with an Instagram heater, and we have ourselves a big weekend ahead. Buckle up.
On that note, welcome to a Friday Nightcaps – the one where I try to hold your attention for five minutes before you sneak off to the fridge and start drinking in secrecy because it's only 4 p.m.
No shame in that, by the way. I do that on a Monday. Just imagine what time I started drinking today!
We'll break down NFL Honors night like the OJ-Bronco film today, because why the hell else are ya'll even here? We're gonna check in with crazy Megan Fox, too, and maybe even defend Tony Romo.
Just kidding! I won't – but Jim Nantz will. I think. You'll see.
Oh yeah! Some scumbag in Miami tried to kidnap a child at a CVS and got his teeth knocked in. We applaud that sort of bravery around here.
Grab that secret Yeti drink and a No. 2 pencil and settle in for an always-frantic Friday class!
It was a big night at the NFL Honors
Look, nobody watches this thing or really even cares. Let's be honest. I'm only talking about it because the NFL WAGs hit the red carpet and they deserve some shine.
Frankly, if you care at all, you just scroll Twitter to see the results. The biggest beef I saw last night came from Joe Flacco winning Comeback Player of the Year over Damar Hamlin.
Duh. Of course he did! Joe Flacco came off the couch after Thanksgiving – after being AWFUL for the past three years – and led the CLEVELAND BROWNS to the playoffs.
Hell, he should've won MVP.
Damar Hamlin finished the year with two tackles in two games, and was part of maybe the dumbest fake-punt call in the history of time:
How Sean McDermott still has a job after that I have no idea. Truly the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Anyway, the usual stars were out on the red carpet doing a little tailgating and they lit up the internet like the Fourth of July.
We'll start with Nightcaps OG Kay Adams, because we respect veterans around here:

Megan Fox checks in to maybe root for the 49ers
Obviously, that last picture isn't from last night's NFL Honors. Would be cool if it was – and it's Vegas, so it's plausible – but it's not.
It does, however, give me a chance to quickly re-introduce Lacey to the class.
I've written about her in the past (I'd try to find the link but it's probably long gone), but Lacey Jane Brown is an NFL Superfan and Instagram star who also doubles as a Kansas City farm girl. True story.
Anyway, she's a KSU alum and broke the world record during the 2022 season by attending 32 NFL home games in 74 days. Wild. What a life!
Lacey here was obviously in attendance last night because she's a die-hard Chiefs fan – as if they need ANOTHER high-profile WAG on their roster – and she won the night IMO.
Tough to compete with that little ensemble, which pains me to say because I'm always #TeamKayAdams.
But fair is fair, and Lacey gets the award this time around.
As for the 49ers side of things, Megan Fox checked in on Instagram for the first time in months in a gold bikini, which I can only assume means she's rooting for San Francisco on Sunday:
What a night for Joe Biden and the lefty media!
Welcome back to the internet, Megan Fox! Remember that one time she went viral because she admitted to drinking blood for leisure? Wild. What a loose cannon.
Perfect for San Francisco!
Speaking of that side of the country … what a night for Joe Biden and the lefties last night!
First, you got Joe being called a sad old man by his own people, which was probably the plan all along if we're being honest. They need him out of office but need to do it methodically, so this was the beginning.
What a House of Cards season we have unfolding in 2024. Please don't let Kevin Spacey anywhere near this one! Creep.
Anyway, that wasn't great. But don't worry! Rachel Maddow is here to put all of your concerns about grandpa Joe to bed:
Hilarious. Hey, Rachel – so can my two-year-old. Doesn't mean she should have the nuclear codes.
And by the way, she can also put together two coherent sentences in a row, which is something we all know Joe can't do.
To be fair to him, though, my toddler's also pretty advanced, so I won't knock him too much for that.
While Rachel was peddling nonsense (what a pun!), Wolf Blitzer looked like my drunken high school self coming home at 2 a.m. and sitting through a lecture from my parents:
Creep in Miami, Jim Nantz defends Tony Romo & Spaces car crash
So true. Absolute pro move from Wolf right here. We've all been there a thousand times in our lives, and it's such a delicate dance you have to play with yourself.
You know you're about to puke because you've spent all night absolutely murdering your liver, but you don't want to embarrass yourself if you can help it. The key word there being if.
Sometimes, you're just too far gone, and that's OK. Again, we've all been there.
But Wolf Blitzer puts on a masterclass in holding back puke on live TV and – politics aside – should be commended. Respect.
Rapid-fire time!
First up? How about this scumbag in Miami who tried to pull off the scummiest, dumbest kidnapping of all time?
I'm so embarrassed that crap happened in my state. We're better than that, although it did happen in Miami, which really is just New York/Las Vegas south.
Glad this dad did what any dad worth his salt would do and grab this scum by the throat. Frankly, he let the guy off easy, but I get it. Let Florida's Finest deal with him and go be with your kid. Hero.
Next? Welcome back to class, Tony Romo!!
We're trying the best we can is such a sad thing to read. No idea what context or voice it was said in, but it comes off as just sad.
Look, I feel like OutKick has been at the forefront of this Tony Romo is washed up movement, which wasn't really the intention, but Romo also hasn't really helped himself.
To be fair, I did think Romo was better in the AFC title game and am genuinely rooting for him to not be insufferable Sunday. I really am. I promise.
It just feels like it's a little too far gone now, doesn't it? At least in the immediate future. Maybe Tony comes out and slings the rock like a HOFer Sunday night in Vegas? Who knows.
Hell, I think if he just started the telecast with 30 seconds of Kelce/Swift bashing – Jim, Travis Kelce during the regular season was about as useful as that stupid Pfizer shot he keeps promoting, but he's turned it on here in the postseason! – he'd be right back in our good graces.
Does he have the stones to do it? Find out soon!
Finally, ever heard a car crash live on tape? Well, strap in:
Rachel Stuhlmann takes her talents to LIV on the way out
Eric … you OK?
*Yeah, I gotta head out guys.*
Hilarious. Thoughts and prayers to Erik Slater. That sounded a little more involved than your average fender-bender.
On that note, let's head into Super Bowl weekend with clear eyes, full hearts and Rachel Stuhlmann.
See you Monday.
