With Super Tuesday tomorrow politics may be the unwanted but the inevitable conversation of the week. That means people will be desperate to talk about anything else.
We have just the thing,
The Last Night’s Game Team
MLS (Major League Soccer)
David Beckham’s Inter Miami CF (MLS - Major League Soccer) made their debut yesterday against Will Ferrell’s Los Angeles FC in L.A. in front of a star studded crowd that of course included Miami co-owner Beckham, Eva Longoria, Gordon Ramsay and Liv Tyler. The team, who sports the color light pink on their jerseys, couldn’t pull off a victory in their first outing in front of a solid crowd of 22,121 fans. THERE’S ALWAYS NEXT GAME
Overtime
Former NFL (National Football League) quarterback Tony Romo is raking in the big bucks even though he’s no longer on the field. He signed a $17 million a year deal with CBS in the broadcast booth. Romo’s average salary during his playing career was an average of $9.1 million. Now the ball is in ESPN’s court to sign a big name like Peyton Manning to keep up their ratings. BRING IT ON
Sideline stat
While you were sipping mimosas at brunch, 364 pound Mekhi Becton ran the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in 5.1 seconds. Linemen are not known for their speed, but their ability to block so this blew everyone away. For perspective, when Tom Brady ran the 40-yard dash at the combine before he was drafted, he ran it in 5.28 seconds. HAULING BUTT
Coaches’ corner
The XFL encourages their players to have a cold one after a long day at work, as long as it’s from their sponsor Bud Light Seltzer. Players have embraced the free booze and permission to celebrate a win. In fact, some teams like the St. Louis Battlehawks have become quite creative with hilarious new ways to celebrate each win with seltzer. TREAT EVERY DAY LIKE IT’S A SPECIAL OCCASION
