The Packers clinch a playoff earth on Mike Clemens with sports.
After a 34-to-nothing win on Monday night football, the Packers face the Vikings next.
I asked head coach Matt Loflore on Christmas Eve.
What's your message to the team to get ready for the Vikings, but maybe still have a little time for the holiday?
Yeah, we'll give them a little time tomorrow morning.
I said, unfortunately, you know, you'd love to give them a day off.
That's just not, I don't think that's possible in this situation.
You've got a six day work week.
You're going on the road to Minnesota.
We'll allow them to tomorrow morning.
They're going to be with their families if they have family in town.
But it's the National Football League and you've got to get ready for the next opponent.
And if you don't put the work in, you can't expect to get the results that you want to get.
I mean, the margins are super thin and at this level.
What Christmas do you get?
I'm sure my boys will get up really early.
Wait me out. We'll open gifts and then I'll come right in here.
So that's just, I mean, that's what we do.
That's Matt Lufler with sports. I'm Mike Clemmons.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba.
Francis Ford Coppola is a five-time Oscar-winning filmmaker.
He's also a survivor of polio, the 85-year-old director shared his experience with the disease during an interview with Deadline.
Warning people about the skepticism for polio vaccines expressed by Trump's incoming health and human services secretary, Robert Kennedy.
The godfather creator says it was his father who saved his life when he contracted polio at a young age
and actually lost the use of his legs for 10 days.
Coppola's father refused to believe that his son should stay bedridden while dealing with the illness, which was the common belief of how to combat polio at the time.
Instead, Carmen Coppola sought a second opinion and found a different approach that suggested mild exercise for those that contracted the disease.
Francis Ford praised the vaccine, which came along a couple years later, and says he has never forgotten memories of children in iron lungs calling for their parents.
Interesting.
Coppola's father was a composer who created music for many of his son's award-winning films.
In trying to make Christmas sexy news, Kim Kardashian has put out a new music video.
The reality TV personality released a video under her brother-in-law Travis Barker's label.
She used a breathy version of her own rendition of Santa Baby, one of the worst Christmas songs ever, and put images of herself crawling through a party in a blind wig and skin-colored jeggings.
I'm not sure if she realizes it either, but her cleavage was totally showing.
I'm sure she's going to give that editor an earful.
In the video, there's a donkey, Mary and Joseph, people fighting, people raking money, and a bonfire while people play Twister.
For what seems like an eternity, Kim crawls through the chaos with her own singing as a backdrop until she finally stops between Santa's legs, and looks up to find, it's really McCulley Culkin.
The only good thing about the video is that her singing mercifully stops along with the music about midway through, so it's just her crawling with weird images.
It's just something you have to see for yourself, folks.
You can check it out free on YouTube, but you'll still want your money back.
Sequals led the way at last weekend's domestic box office.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 led the way with 62 million bucks and was followed up by Mufasa, the Lion King prequel, which finished with a disappointing 35 million at the US box office, despite playing on 400 more screens than Sonic.
Despite grabbing second place in the US, Mufasa was number one globally, with a take of 122 million.
Finishing in third place was the Juggernaut Wicked, which pulled in 13.5 million at the box office, putting its grand total domestically at about 400 million dollars.
Wicked Leapfrog Moana 2, which finished in fourth place with 13.1 million at the box office.
The borderline religious film Homestead finished in fifth place with 6.6 million, despite not so great reviews.
The brutalist, a 3.5 hour film that actually has an intermission, opened and limited release, and pulled in 266 thousand dollars, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it was only on four screens.

It is going to be cloudy on Christmas Day, our high today, right around 31, with wind out of the Southwest at 5 to 10.
Tonight, cloudy a little fog toward morning, and it could get frosty, especially the bridges and overpasses as temperatures do drop into the mid 20s.
Tomorrow, cloudy foggy drizzly with a high of 39. I meet a urologist, Sean Cable. Temperature now 6!
