Travis Kelce's Rollercoaster
First, let's talk about Travis Kelce's ankle injury during yesterday's Kansas City Chiefs-Minnesota Vikings game. We all held our breath, but he shook off the injury and scored the game-winning touchdown.
WNBA (women’s national basketball association) Finals
The WNBA Finals had it all if you're into celebrity sightings and some fierce basketball action. Minority owner Tom Brady, LeBron James and Mark Wahlberg were just a few of the A-listers in the crowd that watched the Las Vegas Aces dominate Game 1 against the New York Liberty. It's a best-of-five series, so there's more excitement to come.
Tom Brady's Ownership Adventures
Speaking of Tom Brady, he's been making waves not only as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Aces but also trying to get a piece of the Las Vegas Raiders. But he has more hurdles to jump through before being approved by the NFL. Keep an eye on the Raiders' Monday Night Football game against the Packers tonight, as the Vegas Golden Knights will be in attendance with the Stanley Cup trophy ahead of the NHL season kickoff tomorrow.
MLB Playoffs
Wild card teams stole the spotlight this weekend in the MLB playoffs. The Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks secured Game 1 wins in their division series. Even the Astros, with their first-round bye, managed to win. These teams are riding high on momentum, and we're in for some intense series ahead.

Plus, Louisville pulled off a stunning upset against Notre Dame, complete with a field-storming celebration. Rapper Jack Harlow had a blast celebrating with fans.
Stay Tuned for Fat Bear Week Winner
Last but not least, let's not forget to watch for the winner of Fat Bear Week. It's a unique celebration of the incredible bears of Katmai National Park, and it's sure to be an exciting conversation starter.
