Ringworm and the Dairy Queen curse, the power of the internet and J.J. Watt loses his man card.
It's Monday. Another chance to rise to the occasion.
Positive outlook,

MLB (Major League Baseball)
One of the league's young stars, San Diego Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr., tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED). He claims the drug he tested positive for was used to treat ringworm. Regardless, he'll serve out his 80-game suspension.
Tatis is just the latest player to suffer from the Dairy Queen curse. He is the fourth spokesperson for Dairy Queen to have his season go sideways after participating in a campaign. (NOT SO) SWEET TREAT

The Las Vegas Aces secured the No. 1 spot in the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) Playoffs as the regular season wrapped yesterday. However, the big story was a viral photo of a fan in the stands at a past game holding a sign saying, "Living with stage 4 breast cancer. Meeting Plum #10 is on my bucket list." The Aces' Kelsey Plum and the team tracked down Ashleigh Ahrens, thanks to the internet, and made the meet and greet happen. The playoffs start on Wednesday. SPREAD THE LOVE

Late Night Talking
Our favorite furry addition to an MLB roster, LeBron supports NASCAR and Mike Tyson is so mad, someone might lose an ear.
No matter the time of day, we have you covered for all the small talk, no matter the situation.

WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association)
Arguably the biggest name in WNBA history, Sue Bird, wrapped up her regular-season career at home with the Seattle Storm yesterday in front of the largest crowd in Climate Pledge Arena history. The city of Seattle declared yesterday "Sue Bird Day." The ordinarily stoic Bird was moved to tears during an emotional tribute video featuring a litany of celebrities, including fiancée Megan Rapinoe, LeBron James, Chloe Kim and former athletes turned TV personalities Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan to name a few. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

We're not sure what's worse, the Trash Pandas Minor League Baseball Team's name or the fact that a rogue firework shot into the crowd this weekend.
Tucker, the dog, is the newest (and, in our opinion, best) addition to a baseball roster this season. This weekend, the shelter dog joined the Seattle Mariners (MLB - Major League Baseball) clubhouse.
We love a good wedding (hello open bar), and Philadelphia 76ers (NBA - National Basketball Association) Tobias Harris' wedding is giving us castle envy.

Thank You For Being A Friend
England soccer fans are doing a happy dance, the QB who spent his off-season in a prison bus (by choice) and the passing of a legend.
While it's the start of the month, it's also National Girlfriends Day. It's a great excuse to check in with the women who enhance our lives. So to you, we say thank you.
Lost without you,

Women’s Euro Cup
In front of a record crowd (and Prince William), England beat Germany in extra time in the Euro Cup Final. Team England brought home only the second major international tournament win besides the 1966 men's World Cup. On hand to see the historic victory in person were 87,192 fans, the largest crowd to watch a Euro Cup Finals, men's or women's. THE FUTURE IS YOURS

A brutal bike crash at the Commonwealth Games took three athletes to the hospital. Cyclist Matt Walls hurtled over the barriers on his bike and landed on top of spectators in the stands. The Commonwealth Games invites athletes from the 72 member states, the vast majority of which are former territories of the British Empire, to compete in the multi-sport event. This year, 4,500 athletes from 72 territories are participating in the Games. OUCH
