Feeling hot, hot, hot.
Let’s spice up the conversation.
Last Night’s Game Team
College Football
The college football season as we know it is in serious jeopardy. The heads of the power five conferences (ACC – Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12, PAC-12 – Pacific Athletic Conference, Big 10 and SEC – Southeastern Conference) had an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss whether or not to move forward with the football season amidst COVID. Sources say that we should have a decision on the season, which is slated to start at the end of August, soon. BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Overtime
UFC’s (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis is known for his knockouts and his memorable interviews and Saturday night, he gave us both. After knocking out Aleksei Oleinik, Lewis put on a headset for a post-fight interview. As the interview began on live TV he tells someone off-screen that he has to go “take a s%#t.” The broadcaster doing the interview laughed it off but that doesn’t mean the video didn’t go viral. THE JOHN IS CALLING
Sideline stat
After a five-month hiatus in women’s tennis, big names Serena and Venus Williams, Sloane Stephens, and Coco Gauff will hit the courts in Lexington, Kentucky for the first post-COVID tournament. You can watch these ladies battle it out for the first victory since March in the Top Seed Open from August 10 – 16 without any fans in the stands. GAME, SET, MATCH
Coaches’ corner
It seemed like just yesterday since MLS (Major League Soccer) started their “MLS is Back” tournament that, when finished, will give us a new champion. Tuesday night the Portland Timbers and Orlando City Soccer Club will take the field for all the marbles. Orlando City is certainly the underdog as the Timbers have extensive postseason experience but just like 2020, anything can happen.
Speaking of anything can happen, the league announced they're starting their regular season on Wednesday. All teams will play in their home cities as opposed to the bubble where the tournament was played. GAME ON
What to watch
Steph and Aeysha Curry’s (NBA - National Basketball Association) girls broke the internet with their impressive dance moves to Beyonce’s “Black is King.” WE WISH WE COULD DANCE LIKE THAT
