By Mere Happenstance

Curtain call for a legend, Apple’s bet pays off, what Adam Levine has in common with the Celtics coach and this week's Tailgate Treat.

As fate would have it, the world of sports continues to produce drama and give us all something to talk about.

Thanks for the memories,
The Last Night's Game Team

NBA (NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION)

In an unusual move during football season, the NBA has made significant headlines this week, and none for positive reasons. First, there was Robert Sarver's suspension and potential sale of the Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury.


Now Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka has been suspended for the 2022-23 season for allegedly having an improper relationship with a staff member, violating team rules. Udoka's partner is actress Nia Long. After a week of the Adam Levine scandal, Twitter was equally appalled for Long, with one tweet stating simply, "Bro... It's NIA LONG!!!" TSK TSK

Before We Go

Apple couldn't have scripted this better if it was one of their series. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees (MLB - Major League Baseball) is likely to tie and possibly break the 61-year American League home run record set by Roger Maris while playing longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox, this weekend. The series' first game is tonight and streamed exclusively on Apple TV. IT'S A LONG SHOT

The Last Night's Game Team

WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association)

The Las Vegas Aces beat the Connecticut Sun to win the franchise's first championship and the City of Las Vegas's first professional sports championship. Head coach Becky Hammon is the first person in WNBA history to win a title in their first season as a head coach. Hammon came over from the NBA (National Basketball Association), where she was continually overlooked for a head coaching position. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Who's That Girl

Another legend retires, athletes + fashion week = a good time, Amazon & the NFL make history and this week's Tailgate Treat.

Sports aren't hard to talk about if you know where to look. Consider them a tool in your toolbelt of success. 

Keep them guessing,

Tennis

The first of the "big three" in men's tennis is hanging up his racket. Yesterday, Roger Federer, 41, announced his retirement on social media. The last few years of his career were plagued with injuries and surgeries. The 20-time Grand Slam champion, who spent a record 237 consecutive weeks as the world No. 1, will play one last tennis event next weekend at the Laver Cup. Federer joins Serena Williams as one of the greatest in the sport to retire. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

*The big three in tennis are Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

  • The Cleveland Browns (NFL - National Football League) will unveil their "new" mascot, Brownie the Elf. Brownie was the team's original mascot who has since been revived by a fan vote.

  • Last night's game between the Kansas Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers marked the first time an NFL regular season game was aired exclusively on a streaming service. Amazon is paying roughly $67M per game in rights fees, a $13B deal that runs through 2033.

  • The Mexican Independence Day weekend tradition continues with Canelo Alvarez stepping into the boxing ring. This time his fight is against his rival, Gennady "Triple GGG" Golovkin.

Before We Go

Serena Williams isn't the only athlete to walk in a show at New York Fashion Week. WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) star DiDi Richards made her debut at the Dur Doux show with her teammates in the front row. Then there's the NBA's Kyle Kuzma, who sent the internet into a frenzy over his unique outfit on the runway at Puma's New York Fashion Week show. WERK IT

PS: Speaking of the WNBA, game four of the finals is Sunday night.
