A good Friday indeed,

Invictus Games
This weekend, Prince Harry and Meghan will kick off the fifth Invictus Games in The Hauge, Netherlands. ‘Invictus’ means unconquered, which is also reflected in the motto for the games.
Inspired by visiting the Warrior Games in the U.S., Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014. The motto, “I AM,” embodies the belief that a person can still be undefeatable even with an illness or injury. Five hundred sick, wounded or injured service members from 20 nations to compete in a series of adaptive sports, including archery, track and field, powerlifting and golf. STRONGER TOGETHER
Short and Sweet
All MLB (Major League Baseball) players, managers, coaches and umpires will wear No. 42 in Dodger blue for the first time on Jackie Robinson Day, which is today.
The NBA (National Basketball Association) playoffs will pit team owners Justin Timberlake (Grizzlies) against Alex Rodriguez (Timberwolves) when they start tomorrow.
After flipping off Evander Kane, Ryan Hartman was fined by the NHL (National Hockey League). But thanks to fans (and Kane's ex-wife), he won't have to pay it all himself.
The College Gymnastics Championship is this weekend, and some of your favorite Olympians, like Suni Lee, will be competing for new hardware to add to their collection.
Before We Go
After a 37-year hiatus, the eight-team USFL (United States Football League) will play its first games of the season this weekend. The original league was considered successful, launching careers of some of the best in the NFL (National Football League) like quarterbacks Steve Young and Jim Kelly and running back Herschel Walker. The revived league is attempting to reinvent itself with new rules and computer-chipped footballs during its 10-week regular season.
Now don't confuse this with the XFL (no one knows exactly what XFL stands for), the football league run by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The once-bust league will start playing in 2023. THE MORE THE MERRIER?
