Twitter toys with sports fans, the Commanders better call their lawyer, it's not bad to be second choice and this week's Tailgate Treat
Twitter Does Sports
Elon Musk's new Twitter verified account system has confused sports fans as many "verified" fake accounts broke big news like a LeBron James trade (NBA - National Basketball Association) or the firing of the Las Vegas Raiders head coach (NFL - National Football League). HOT MESS

Gonzaga and Michigan State will play their basketball game on board the USS Abraham Lincoln in San Diego today, Veterans Day.
Brooklyn Nets (NBA) new head coach Jacque Vaughn doesn't care that he wasn't the team's first choice saying, "he might not have been his wife's first choice, but they've been together for 20 years."
Joseph Chahayed, the owner of a gas station in CA, was awarded a $1M prize for selling the winning $2B Powerball ticket. He is the father-in-law of former NFL player Domata Peko.

Washington, DC attorney general Karl Racine announced his office is filing suit against Washington Commanders (NFL) owner Dan Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Commanders and the NFL for "colluding to deceive the residents of DC" on their workplace climate. The charges stem from evidence of the Commanders underreporting ticket revenue to the NFL and withholding security deposit money from fans.
Ahead of this announcement, Snyder put the Commanders up for sale. Interested parties include Jeff Bezos, Jay-Z and Matthew McConaughey. The team could sell for upwards of $7B. THAT MAY PAY FOR THE LAWYER BILLS

They're behind in the series against the Houston Astros 3-2. To top it off, the Philadelphia Union are in the MLS Cup Final (Major League Soccer) on Saturday.

The artist behind every athlete's current or former hype song, Eminem, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow alongside Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, Pat Benatar, Lionel Richie and Eurythmics.

Sunday is the 51st running of the New York City Marathon. Over 50,000 runners will join celebrities Ashton Kutcher, Ellie Kemper, Amy Robach, T.J. Holmes and Matt James in hitting the streets for the iconic 26.2-mile race in unseasonably warm weather.
Did you know women were once barred from road races? Six women took their rightful place in the NYC Marathon in its third year. The AAU, the then-governing body of marathons, had previously squashed the idea of women running in marathons. It was considered a health risk for women to run distances as their uterus might fall out, along with other medical disasters. CAN'T KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN

Women's soccer is headed to prime time. The Portland Thorns will play the Kansas City Current for the 2022 NWSL (National Women's Soccer League) Championship. Keep an eye out for Brittany and Patrick Mahomes in the stands. The Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) are off this weekend and surely we'll see Patrick in the stands supporting his wife, who is a team owner.
Alaska Air is giving VIP treatment to all Thorns fans, offering early boarding for any guest out of Portland wearing a Thorns jersey. The Thorns owner won't be in attendance at the game as he's being pressured to sell the team after an investigation uncovered a toxic environment in the league.
The game will air on CBS (the first time ever for the NWSL on prime time TV) and stream on Paramount+ on Saturday at 8 pm E.T.
