This week in the world of sports has a little something for everyone, from groundbreaking news in the NFL to the thrilling anticipation of college football and the high-speed excitement of Formula 1.
NFL <3 Flag Football + NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's Extended Reign
Flag football is making its way to the Olympic stage, and the NFL is encouraging its players to participate, giving the USA a distinct advantage. Speaking of the NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell has recently received a contract extension through 2027. Goodell's tenure, which began in 2006, will span over two decades by the contract's end. While the NFL gave up its tax-exempt status, making Goodell's salary confidential, it's reported that he earned a staggering $63.9M annually for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons.
Penn State vs. Ohio State: The College Football Showdown
Switching gears to college football, all eyes are on the upcoming match-up between the undefeated Penn State and Ohio State. This game has everyone buzzing; even College GameDay is in town to capture the excitement. Did you know that Penn State's Beaver Stadium and Ohio State's Ohio Stadium are ranked No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, in terms of maximum fan capacity? It's no wonder these two football giants have such passionate and devoted fan bases. The anticipation is building, and the game promises an unforgettable showdown.
F1 (Formula 1) Returns to Its American Roots
The global phenomenon of F1 returns to its American origins in Austin, Texas. While many are watching Max Verstappen, the three-time World champion, after his recent victory in Qatar, we have our eyes on fan-favorite Daniel Ricciardo. After recovering from injury, he's set to make his comeback. Remember him for his iconic "shoey"? We hope his entrance matches his famous stunt, perhaps with a cowboy twist, as he rides into the paddock.
Deal of the Week: NLCS Ticket Prices
This week's deal of the week is all about the NLCS. The "Get-in" price for Game 3 in Phoenix dropped by a staggering 90% to just $15 after the D-backs' 10-0 defeat in Game 2. In contrast, the "get-in" price for Game 1 in Philadelphia was a whopping $467. Ticket prices may go up now with the Dbacks finally winning a game last night. The Phillies still lead the series 2-1. The winner will head to the World Series, facing off against either the Texas Rangers or the Houston Astros.
