Record-setting women

An all-women team of rowers has set the record for rowing across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Hawaii. It took 34 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes for Libby Costello, Sophia Denison-Johnston, Brooke Downes and Adrienne Smith to reach Hawaii. According to "Good Morning America," the women rowed in two-hour shifts and averaged 90 minutes of sleep each day as they covered more than 2,400 nautical miles across the ocean. The team also raised money for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America during their historic row. JUST WOW

Vettel has previously stated that climate change had made him question his job as a race car driver. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

NFL (National Football League)

J.J. Watt caught wind of a young Houston Texans fan trying to sell her J.J. Watt merchandise to pay for her grandfather's funeral. Watt, who now plays for the Arizona Cardinals, offered to pay for the funeral expenses so she won't have to sell anything. She responded, "I freaking love you man. It's been a hard year for me, and this last month has been hard since the death." GOOD GUY ALERT

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

Working out in the buff is apparently a thing, Scotland is the place to be, white tigers are trendy and this week's Tailgate Treat.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

PGA (Professional Golfers Association)

All eyes are on the British Open this weekend as players from the LIV league join their former PGA colleagues on the course. LIV golfers are still eligible to compete in the Open, provided they earned exemptions. While Tiger Woods playing in Scotland was the hot topic ahead of the start yesterday, it was quickly overshadowed by Justin Thomas's ankle-bearing pants. The tournament is being played on the "Old Course" at St. Andrews in Scotland. The course is considered the home of golf, founded in the 1400s. TEEING IT UP

Before We Go

The NFL (National Football League) is finally allowing teams to have more than one helmet design, and no one is happier than Cincinnati Bengals fans who want to look like a white tiger. Siegfried and Roy must be so proud.

The reason for the one helmet rule? Something to do with concussion protocol, although plenty of college teams have a variety of helmet options. THE CAT’S MEOW
