Weekend Preview: Canada Is The King Of The World, No. 22 = New Car + Say No To Spring Football

This weekend’s sports headlines aren’t just for die-hard fans—they’re packed with drama, money moves, and viral moments you won’t want to miss.

🏒 USA vs. Canada delivered an unforgettable 4 Nations Face-Off Championship (the reboot of the NHL - National Hockey League - All-Star Game). Tickets were going for Super Bowl prices, and the game didn’t disappoint. Overtime. No shootouts. No ties. Just pure rivalry. Team Canada came out on top, making history in the NHL’s newly revamped All-Star format.

⚾ Major League Baseball’s (MLB) biggest contract deal has ripple effects. Juan Soto signed a record-breaking $765M contract with the New York Mets—but the real story? He gave teammate Brett Baty a brand-new car in exchange for his No. 22 jersey number - Soto’s number throughout his entire MLB career. Baty previously mentioned he was still driving his car from high school after being in the league since 2022.

🚁 Security alert: The NFL (National Football League), MLB, NCAA (college sports), and NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) are backing a new bill to disable drones over sporting events due to rising safety concerns. Keep an eye on this one.

🏈 Spring football drama is heating up. Texas, USC, and Nebraska are skipping their annual spring games, with coaches citing everything from the NFL Combine to rival teams scouting players for transfers (thanks, transfer portal).

👀 Coming up next week: We’re diving into the NFL Scouting Combine, aka the "Underwear Olympics." Get ready for some wild athletic feats (and questionable fashion choices) by subscribing to the podcast.
