The Last Night's Game Team
NFL (National Football League)
It was only a matter of time, but we have our first COVID-postponed NFL game. With 9+ members of the Tennessee Titans team/staff testing positive for COVID, their game this weekend vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers has been postponed. The teams may play as early as next week depending on test results. What does that mean for you? If you have a fantasy football team, make sure to change up your roster if you have players on either of these teams. ALL BETS ARE OFF IN 2020
Overtime
Well, the NBA (National Basketball Association) Finals might not turn out to be the edge of your seat competition you were hoping for. LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers blew out the Miami Heat in game one and now two of the Heat’s best players are out with injuries. They play again tonight so hold onto your hats. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Sideline Stat
In the wake of the Titans COVID situation, the NFL has implemented some new strict guidelines. PPE and face masks must be worn by all players and coaches on the practice field and gloves must be worn by everyone with the one exception of the quarterback's throwing hand. All team meetings must be virtual and team or player gatherings away from the facility are prohibited. SMACKDOWN
Coaches’ corner
If the NBA doesn’t do it for you, here’s some exciting finals basketball to watch. The Las Vegas Aces start their quest for a championship against the Seattle Storm in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) playoffs tonight. You might recognize one familiar face on the Storm - Sue Bird who is partners with Megan Rapinoe from the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. The two were featured on the cover of InStyle Magazine earlier this year and Rapinoe has been a fixture inside the “Wubble” - WNBA bubble.
