Mother Nature vs. Sports

If the coronavirus wasn’t a big enough obstacle for professional sports, wildfires are presenting additional obstacles for teams. The series between the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres (MLB – Major League Baseball) has been moved from Seattle to San Diego because of the smoke. Don’t be surprised if there’s a change in the highly anticipated meet up between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots (NFL – National Football League). It’s been said that playing in the current conditions would be like playing in a “smoke filled bar.” WITHOUT THE BENEFITS OF THE COCKTAILS

Carolina Panthers (NFL) star running back Christian McCaffrey is hitting the newsstands on the cover of GQ Magazine…in his underwear. In his first time of almost baring it all, he no doubt went to the expert, his girlfriend Olivia Culpo. Culpo happens to be a former Miss Universe and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model.

ESPN College GameDay is headed to Louisville where 12,000 fans will be permitted to cheer their team on from the stands. Some schools aren't as lucky with the football game between North Carolina and Charlotte being cancelled due to positive COVID tests. Luckily for Oklahoma State and Tulsa, their postponed game from last week will take place this weekend. PICK YOUR BATTLES

Coaches’ corner

The Army football team was left without an opponent this Saturday after BYU was forced to postpone due to a handful of positive player COVID tests So, they did what any logical college football team would do, they took to Twitter to find a new opponent. It read like a dating profile “Undefeated, COVID negative college football team from NY looking for like minded, disciplined team for a date next Saturday…must also be COVID negative! Twitter do your think! Sadly de” Sadly despite their efforts, they were unsuccessful. CALL FOR A GOOD TIME

MLB (Major League Baseball)

No participation medals here. We’re cruising into the next round of the playoffs and there are some great games ahead. First, the Milwaukee Brewers are taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Did you know that tennis legend Billie Jean King and her partner are part of the Dodgers ownership group? EQUAL OPPORTUNITY BASEBALL  

Two of the best teams in history to meet in the playoffs, the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox, will battle it out for a spot in the next round. The winner of each of these two series will head to the World Series. THE BATTLE OF THE BEST?

Overtime

With the NBA (National Basketball Association) season starting next week, Minnesota Timberwolves star Jimmy Butler has not been happy with his team. But who's to blame? Actor Mark Wahlberg. According to some, Butler's ego became such a distraction when he became friends with Wahlberg when he played for the Chicago Bulls that the Bulls decided to trade him to Minnesota last year.

The U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team didn’t have what it takes to qualify for this summer's World Cup. The U.S. Women’s National Team on the other hand is just one win away from qualifying for the Women’s 2019 World Cup in France. SHOWING THEM HOW IT’S DONE

Coaches’ corner

The Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders (NFL – National Football League) are saying sayonara to the States and traveling across the pond to play a game in London this weekend. Raiders coach Jon Gruden is not a fan of the travel; in fact, he dreads it. The last time he flew that far he was out of commission for a month with vertigo. This game is one of the handful of games that NFL teams are playing internationally this season. FISH & CHIPS CURE EVERYTHING

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

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

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
