Your friendly reminder that today is Friday, although it feels like a Tuesday. Because who knows what day it really is?
Although it’s July right?
The Last Night’s Game Team
Golf & NFL (National Football League)
It’s a rumor we hope is true – a rematch between golfers Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. The two played in a Pay-Per-View event in November 2018, where Mickelson edged out Woods to claim the $9 million prize.
Unlike most movies, the sequel could be better than the original as multiple sources are reporting that NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will join the duo on the course. If it takes place, the event would be a telethon for COVID-19 relief and all ad sales would go to relief efforts. The face-off would likely be in May and of course, the players would practice social distancing. GAME ON
Overtime
Brace yourself because it’s about to go down. The Post Malone’s virtual celebrity beer pong competition begins this weekend. The “Ballina Cup” will benefit COVID-19 relief efforts and features party boys Rob Gronkowski and Johnny Manziel (both former NFL players) and Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce (NFL) along with a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and a few other notable music industry favorites. You can catch the tourney on Instagram Live. RACK ‘EM

The New England Patriots (NFL) plane has carried some precious cargo in its day but this one tops the list. The team’s plane transported 1 million N95 masks to the U.S. from China with 300,000 of them allotted to the hardest hit state right now, New York. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kraft Family (the team’s owners) paid $2 million for the acquisition. THE GREATEST NEED
Coaches’ corner
If the beer pong competition isn’t enough to get you fired up, the NBA 2k tournament starts today. The NBA (National Basketball Association) video game tournament features 16 NBA players in a 10-day competition that will air on ESPN. Kevin Durant is the favorite to win the tourney amongst his peers. “LIVE” BASKETBALL AT ITS BEST
What to watch
Break out your spandex because this weekend is the Super Bowl of wrestling - Wrestlemania 36. Normally the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) packs in 70,000 fans for the occasion but this year’s event was filmed in the WWE training facility in Florida. The two-day extravaganza, which was hosted by former Patriots player Rob Gonkowski (see above re: beer pong), was pre-taped last week due to COVID-19 concerns. OILED UP WITH NOWHERE TO GO
