As we kick off a new week, let’s take a moment to recap an eventful weekend in the sports world and look ahead at what’s coming up. From surprising victories to hilarious moments, there’s plenty to discuss!
Joe Flacco Steals the Show
This weekend, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco stepped in for the injured Anthony Richardson, helping the Indianapolis Colts (NFL - National Football League) secure a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, handing them their first loss of the season. In a humorous post-game interview, Flacco revealed he’s only eight days older than Richardson’s mom, leading him to believe he might not be perceived as "cool" by the young quarterback. But hey, a win is a win!
College Football Upsets and Celebrations
Kentucky pulled off a thrilling upset against Ole Miss in college football, igniting wild celebrations that included coach Mark Stoops crowd surfing in the locker room and fans lighting couches on fire. Over in Alabama, the much-anticipated showdown between Alabama and Georgia lived up to the hype, with Bama taking an early lead before Georgia mounted a comeback (but not a win), creating a flurry of reactions on social media.
Baker Mayfield’s Halftime Humor
Sunday’s game featured an amusing moment when Erin Andrews interviewed Tampa Bay Buccaneers Baker Mayfield about his performance in the humid Tampa weather, a remnant of the hurricane. His simple yet relatable response? “I changed my pants at halftime.” Let’s face it; we’ve all been there!
