Five Of The Weirdest Things Athletes Have Autographed
Never a dull moment in the life of an athlete.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Can you say awkward?

1. Let’s just say this one is 50 shades of shady. Hockey player Karl Alzner penned his name on a woman’s leather whip at an autograph signing. Why a whip? He didn't ask and she didn't say. WE HOPE HE HAD HAND SANITIZER
2. David Price of the Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB – Major League Baseball) once signed a Twinkie. Rumor has it the sweet treat will survive the apocalypse, so why not? Said Twinkie then went for $56 on eBay. A NEW TAKE ON “SIGNATURE DESSERT”
3. Where would we be without our furry friends? Without an autograph apparently. NASCAR (National Association For Stock Car Auto Racing) driver Kasey Kahne signed a fan’s dog. The pup didn’t have much hair so its owner thought it would be the perfect place for Kahne to leave his mark. No word if the dog agreed. THERE BETTER HAVE BEEN TREATS INVOLVED
4. Los Angeles Kings (NHL – National Hockey League) goalie Jonathan Quick’s oddest item is a little cheesy. He once signed a fan’s grilled cheese sandwich. What’s worse? The sandwich already had two bites out of it and was “oozing with saliva.” SLOPPY SECONDS
5. The Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson (NBA - National Basketball Association) once signed a toaster. Apparently, the fan was memorable because Thompson later invited the gadget guy to the Warriors’ championship parade. TOAST OF THE TOWN
Goodbye, Work Week
Anyone else ready to tell the office goodbye for a couple days?

NFL (NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE)
Let there be beer. Bud Light sympathized with the fans of the Cleveland Browns and their 635-day losing streak. At the beginning of the season, they placed fridges filled with beer throughout the city that would open when the Browns finally won a game. Last night, that dream became a reality when the Browns beat the New York Jets. Not sure who was more excited, the fans, the rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield or the Cleveland Police Department. NOT SORRY FOR CALLING IN SICK TODAY
OVERTIME
Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is full of hysterical sass, and now her words are catching up with her. After a recent tweet claiming she could “absolutely be a hockey goalie,” the Los Angeles Kings (NHL- National Hockey League) invited her to try out to become their emergency backup goalie. And it sounds like she’s taking them up on their offer. SWAPPING STILETTOS FOR SKATES
SIDELINE STAT
It’s been 22 years since Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny graced the big screen in Space Jam. If you’re a fan of the flick, then you’re in luck because a reboot is coming. It will star LeBron James and be directed by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler. They will start filming next summer. Guess King James’ move to Hollywood paid off? GRAB THE POPCORN
COACHES’ CORNER
The Los Angeles Angels (MLB- Major League Baseball) player Francisco Arcia made history by becoming the first player ever to play catcher and pitcher and hit a home run- all in the same game. PLAYING THE FIELD
WHAT TO WATCH
Thirty golfers are fixing their eyes on the $10 million prize as the FedExCup wraps up this weekend. Golf legend Tiger Woods is leading the tour championship so far. If he wins, it’ll be his third FedExCup victory. MAKE ROOM IN THE TROPHY CASE

Long gone are the days of sign my baby or my bra, these are definitely items we would’ve never been able to guess if we tried.

5. It is National Pet Day so we wouldn’t want to leave out our furry friends. NASCAR (National Association For Stock Car Auto Racing) driver Kasey Kahne signed a fan’s dog. The pup didn’t have much hair so its owner thought it would be the perfect place for Kahne to leave his mark. No word if the dog agreed.
Now for the good stuff
There is so much more to talk about besides toasters and Twinkies. Here’s the latest and greatest in sports news including why LeBron thinks abstinence is best, how golf and hockey are one in the same and who knew the Dalai Lama was a fan of the touchdown dance? READ
