Early Bird Gets The Worm

While a cup of coffee may sound more appealing than a worm, you get the drift.

This week is yours,

The Last Night’s Game Team


College Football

Here’s something you don’t see every day, a football fan saves a cat from its’ impending doom. University of Miami Hurricane fans noticed a cat hanging from the upper deck at their home stadium. The cat was dangling by two paws, and then one. But not for long. The cat fell into the lower deck, but luckily a fan caught the feline. The fan then held up the cat in “Lion King” fashion, and the crowd erupted into cheers. WHO CARES ABOUT THE ACTUAL FOOTBALL GAME?

Overtime

The famed Met Gala is tonight, and Naomi Osaka (tennis) is slated to be one of the co-chairs of the evening, but it’s a case of will she or won’t she attend? After losing at the US Open, Osaka said she’s taking some time off of the sport to work on herself, but does that mean social engagements? The dress code of tonight’s gala is American Independence, and Osaka’s co-chairs are actor Timothée Chalamet, singer Billie Eilish and poet Amanda Gorman. FASHION FOMO

Sideline stat

Emma Raducanu went from having to qualify for tournaments to receiving congratulations on her US Open (tennis) win from Queen Elizabeth. The 18-year-old Brit is also $2.5M richer after winning the all-teenage women's finals. On the men's side, Novak Djokovic wasn't able to pull off the US Open win that he needed to make history by winning all of the Grand Slam tournaments in one season. He lost to Daniil Medvedev in the finals. SO CLOSE

Coaches’ corner

Tonight is the first “Monday Night Football” of the season, and that’s music to our ears. In fact, you can thank Drake for that. The "Certified Lover Boy" artist has another side hustle - curating the music for MNF. Songs from Drake’s new album, his classics and other music that appeals to him will be played in MNF promotional spots, live telecasts and pre-game shows.


We should mention that tonight's MNF game between the Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders is the first regular-season game for the Raiders with fans (who all have to be vaccinated) in their new stadium. PARTY ON
