Beach Body Fail
Why “I Will Always Love You” is a home run, abs < winning and QBs who chug beer.
Summer is here whether you’re ready or not.

Baseball players tend to be very superstitious. If something works and the team is winning, they’ll keep up the tradition no matter how embarrassing. “I Will Always Love You” has become the theme song of the San Diego Padres. What started as a prank turned into nightly (awful) serenade but they’re winning so there you have it. YOUR EARS WILL NOT LOVE YOU
Overtime
The NFL (National Football League) off-season has stirred up a lot of questions with the most important being, which NFL quarterback can chug a beer the fastest? Aaron Rodgers started this unofficial frat boy contest by attempting to chug a beer on the jumbotron at a basketball game and it wasn’t pretty. Therefore, other quarterbacks had to show him up and Chicago Bears Mitch Trubisky may have taken the cake by chugging a beer in mere seconds. IS THERE AN ALL-STAR TEAM FOR THAT?

The curse of Drake lives on. Drake is known for hanging out with winners who just can’t seem to win after they hang out with the rapper. Enter boxer Anthony Joshua. He was the shoo-in for Saturday night’s fight. Then he was TKO’d (technical knock out) in the seventh round by the people’s champion, Anthony Ruiz Jr. Ruiz’s win had people everywhere rethinking their summer diets. ABS OF STEEL ARE NOT NECESSARY

President Trump announced that Jerry West, the hall of fame player whose silhouette is the NBA (National Basketball Association) logo, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. You might remember, Tiger Woods received the same honor a few weeks ago. HONORED TO BE HERE

Five Strange Summertime Sports Superstitions
1. Just in time for the World Cup, England’s Jamie Vardy ditched his habits of nicotine pouches, drinking half a bottle of port wine on the night before a game and his concoction of Skittles and vodka. Although, he won’t break his routine of three Red Bulls on gameday and black coffee. NO ONE IS PERFECT
2. Mississippi State’s baseball team is all about the rally banana. One of their players ate a banana in their big win in a regional qualifier game and now the team is playing in their first College World Series. The demand for banana themed merchandise in the state has gone through the roof and even Dole and Chiquita have jumped on board the banana wagon, showing their support for the team. THIS SH*T IS BANANAS
3. Hockey’s Sidney Crosby has so many ‘traditions’ that we can’t list them all. Some include wearing the same jock strap for years and not calling or seeing his mom or his sister on gameday because every time he does, he ends up with an injury. PHONE HOME
4. Portugal captain and soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo must be the last one to leave the locker room and he always puts his right foot on the field first. BEST FOOT FORWARD
5. Anyone who has ever slipped into a pair of Spanx knows a good undergarment is the foundation of success and that brings us to the golden thong. The golden thong was worn by former MLB (Major League Baseball) player Jason Giambi to help him break out of hitting slumps. Rumor has it that said tiny undergarment was left in the lockers of his teammates and they all began to hit well. WASH ME
