It’s Monday and today brings pedicures, singing and the World Series.
Are you ready to be entertained?
The Last Night’s Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
Justified. Justin Timberlake will be the halftime performer for this season’s Super Bowl in Minnesota. He has performed in three halftime shows (remember nipplegate with Miss Jackson)?, but this will be the first time he’s flown solo. Here’s his announcement featuring his friend in comedy, Jimmy Fallon.
MLB (Major League Baseball)
Started at the bottom, now were here. The World Series starts tomorrow night with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros facing off for the title of World Champions. On Wednesday, we’ll have a complete Five Things To Know about the World Series but until then we’ll leave you with this nugget of information to share in your small talk.
The first two games are in Dodgers stadium and ticket prices are absurd. On average, fans are shelling out $3,164 per seat and $888 for standing room only tickets.
Overtime
Martin Truex Jr. won Sunday’s NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) race, securing a spot in the next round of the playoffs. It was an emotional win for Truex, whose girlfriend is undergoing chemotherapy and one of this crew members passed away from a heart attack on Saturday night.
Sideline stat
The Phoenix Suns may only be three games into the season but with an 0-3 (wins-losses) record they felt it was time to fire their head coach Earl Watson. That escalated quickly.
Coaches’ corner
On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints (NFL) won their fourth game in a row. To celebrate, head coach Sean Payton is rewarding his players with pedicures. We’re thinking it really had nothing to do with the wins, he was simply tired of looking at their feet.
