Welcome back,
The Last Night’s Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
Football fans everywhere totally freaked out last night as reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, left the game with a knee injury. Trainers were able to massage his kneecap back into place (ew!) but after taking him back to the locker room they immediately ruled him out of the game. He will undergo an MRI to determine the damage. Mahomes is known for being a fierce competitor on the field but also as the quarterback who loves ketchup so much that he puts it on everything, including steak ala “Miss Congeniality.” (Last year he signed a deal with Heinz Ketchup). KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM
Overtime
Tariffs aren’t the only scandal that rocking China-U.S. relations. The tweet heard round the world from the Houston Rockets general manager now has another chapter to the story. The NBA (National Basketball Association) commissioner revealed that "Chinese interests" asked him to fire the Rockets general manager over his tweet in support of pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong. (For the record, the NBA has rejected this request and has supported the GM’s right to free speech all along). THE SAGA CONTINUES
Check out the only 5 things you need to know about the NBA season, which starts on Tuesday, to find out exactly what you need to know to be in the know.
Sideline stat
Phoenix Rising Football Club loves their $1 beer night. Fans of the club that plays in the soccer league that is one step down from MLS (Major League Soccer) love it not only because the beer is cheap but because the team is undefeated on $1 beer nights. The team plays their last game of the season where George Washington can buy you a beer, but can they hold onto the record? HOW LONG IS THE LINE FOR THE BATHROOM?
Coaches’ corner
The Cleveland Browns (NFL) season hasn’t exactly been off to a great start and a fan relayed that to Browns player Myles Garrett in a not so graceful way. The “Browns Fan” asked to take a photo with Garrett while sitting in traffic and afterward punched the 6’4” player in the face. The puncher fled the scene but was later caught because Garrett wrote down his license plate. APPARENTLY NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE FAN CLUB
What to watch
With another win last night over the New York Yankees (MLB - Major League Baseball), the Houston Astros are one win away from claiming a spot in the World Series. The winner of the Astros-Yankees series will play the Washington Nationals in the World Series that starts on Tuesday. BATTER UP
