Weekend Preview: College Football Is Back, The Janitor For The Win + 3 Cheers For Tennis

What better way to savor the long weekend than with some BBQ, good company, and, of course, sports banter that's hotter than the grill?

College Football Returns

Saturday is a day that college football enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting. ESPN's College GameDay is back for Week 1, and this time, all eyes are on none other than "Coach Prime" – Deion Sanders. Making his debut with his Colorado team, Sanders is ready to lead his squad of 86 new players against a TCU team that had a taste of National Championship glory last season.

Tennis Triumphs at the US Open

The US Open is serving up more than just fierce competition this year. Caroline Wozniacki's return from a three-year retirement has been nothing short of spectacular. She's bulldozed her way to the third round, even taking down the No. 11 ranked player. It's a powerful comeback that's sure to have everyone glued to their screens and talking about Wozniacki's undeniable resilience.

Speaking of rising stars, Coco Gauff's journey has been fun to watch. After becoming CPR certified, she's brought the heat to the court. She has the crowd behind her – including NBA (National Basketball Association) star Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat.

Before you go

  1. Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid (NFL - National Football League) is known for being an offensive wizard, revealed he once was given a play by a janitor and it led to a touchdown 

  2. In college football, Miami of Ohio will play Miami Friday night for the right to claim the real Miami title. The joke’s on both of them as Lionel Messi is the king of Miami whether it’s Ohio or in Florida.

     

Here’s to the weekend!
