London Bound
Sports often create opportunities for travel and cultural experiences. The Jacksonville Jaguars are making history by playing back-to-back games in London. They’re playing against the Buffalo Bills. Will London have enough tables for the Bills Mafia to jump through?
MLB (Major League Baseball) Playoffs and Exciting Matchups

For fans of women's sports, the WNBA Finals are set to begin on Sunday, October 8th. This year, it's all about the "super teams" – the defending champion Las Vegas Aces and the star-studded New York Liberty. This series will undoubtedly give us all phenomenal basketball to watch.
What I’m watching
This weekend, I’m watching the “Kelce” documentary on Amazon Prime that follows Jason Kelce, the center for the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL) and brother of Travis Kelce, last season. If you want an insight into the family that has welcomed Taylor Swift, here you go.
Sports provide a fantastic way for bonding, whether through attending games, discussing matchups, or sharing the stories of athletes and teams. So, this weekend, consider how you can leverage the world of sports to strengthen your connections at work and home.
