Friends Forever
A Prince Harry marathon mishap, getting toasted in CO and no celebratory cocktail for you.
Go make a friend by drumming up a conversation using today’s hottest topics in sports.

London Marathon
Prince Harry is on baby watch but that didn’t stop him from cheering on one London runner who ran the London Marathon dressed like the iconic clock Big Ben. The runner was attempting to break the world record for the fastest marathon run by someone dressed as a landmark building but it didn’t work out quite as planned. ‘Big Ben’ didn’t plan for the clearance of the finish line and got stuck.

Meet Toasty, the new s’mores themed mascot for the minor league baseball team, the Rocky Mountain Vibes. The team was formerly known as the Colorado Springs Sky Sox but it’s not the name change (or the fact that Toasty could be an ode to marijuana) that’s getting the attention. It’s the fact that Toasty looks exactly like “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri. DESSERT DOPPLEGÄNGER

They’re young enough to make history but not to buy a cocktail. Three Washington Nationals (MLB – Major League Baseball) teammates made history last night as the first trio of teammates who are 21 or younger to homer in the same game. A CELEBRATORY ROUND ON ME. OH WAIT…

Last night, Jaylen Brown and his Boston Celtics won their first game in the second round of the NBA (National Basketball Association) playoffs. His on court success has proved his haters wrong, including a former teacher who told him that she’d “look him up in the Cobb County jail in five years.” Brown shared that statement in a tweet exactly five years ago and look at him now.

You had one job, Tiger’s ridiculous look and tempers (and creativity) flare in the playoffs.

NBA (National Basketball Association)
In one of the most entertaining playoff series in recent history, the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are quite literally putting up a fight. Of course, they’ve been talking trash but there have been fights, ejections, wanted posters and one angry team general manager storming the referees’ locker room. (The 76ers lead the first round playoff series 3-1). PISSED OFF AND PASSIONATE

From the ‘you had one job' file. While the Boston Celtics (NBA) were about the sweep the Indiana Pacers, eliminating them from the playoffs, ABC switched the broadcast over to “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” EITHER WAY IT WAS LAUGHABLE

Serena Williams is putting her money where her mouth is. On Instagram, she revealed the details of her investment firm, Serena Ventures. She focuses on "early-stage investments in companies led by women and people of color and those that value 'individual empowerment' and creativity." RAISE ‘EM UP

When a player wins the Masters (golf), they can wear the iconic green jacket anywhere for one year. (After one year they can only wear the jacket on the grounds of Augusta National Golf Club). Tiger Woods took advantage of this perk and wore his new favorite green accessory with basketball shorts and white tennis shoes to his restaurant. BUSINESS ON TOP, GYM RAT IN THE BACK

Hooray Friday! Hooray for being a part of the sports conversation! Hooray beer!

World Cup
When you instantly become best friends. South Korea stunned the world by beating defending champion Germany and eliminating them from the tournament. The German loss meant Mexico qualified for the next stage of games. The Mexico fans were so grateful to South Korea that one business sent a pallet of Mexican beer (no really) to the South Korean embassy in Washington, D.C. They also celebrated the victory in the streets by drinking tequila with the Korean consul general to Mexico. ¡SALUD!

Could it be the best basketball movie since “Space Jam?” If you’re tired of the heat and want a laugh, the basketball movie “Uncle Drew” comes out this weekend. Uncle Drew started with a character in a Pepsi commercial starring Boston Celtics (NBA – National Basketball Association) superstar Kyrie Irving. Now it hits the big screen with Irving as the star, along with some help from basketball hall of famers Lisa Leslie and Shaq, to name a few. (Don’t worry this is nothing like Shaq’s starring role in the 90s film Kazaam). RAVE REVIEWS

The World Cup started with 32 teams and now it's down to 16 teams as we enter the “knockout stage” tomorrow. Not to be confused with a Mike Tyson punch, the knockout stage means games cannot end in a tie and the losing team goes home. And yes, there may be dramatic shootouts to determine the winner. If you’re going to watch a soccer game, now’s the time to start (well actually tomorrow at 10 am EST). SCHEDULE

Yesterday Senegal was the first team in World Cup history to be eliminated from the tournament by fair points play. They had the exact same record and goal differential as Japan, so the tie breaker was the fact that they had more penalties (red and yellow cards), therefore they had to pack their bags. Finally it pays to be good. CONFUSED? HERE’S A QUICK VIDEO EXPLANATION ON FAIR POINTS
