A Breakdown of The Week in Sports!
In case you missed it
- kind of a sucky way to start the week, but RIP Bill Russell
- Raise your hand if you remembered that James Washington signed with the Cowboys… no one? Didn’t think so
- Trade deadline is Tuesday, we’re still on Juan Soto watch. Padres are supposedly preparing an offer. My guess is it ends up being the Cardinals
- So much for deebo getting traded
- Watson gets 6 games… I do not understand how these suspensions are decided when he gets 6 games, but ridley gets a year for a parlay
- The Saints defense is about to be unreal. Especially that secondary
- Alonte Taylor Vs. Paulson Adebo is a fun battle
- Payton Turner and Trevor Penning…. Love the emotion but let’s not punch helmets with fists
- TRADES ARE HAPPENING
- Mancini to the Astros! Good move for them
- Frankie Montas to Yankees, they get their pitcher
- Josh Hader to the Padres? What? Why?
- The Red Sox are doing something but no one seems to understand what or why
- I say again, have Aaron Judge tested
- The White Sox attempted to trade for Ohtani, and I respect the hustle
- The arms race in the American League began today. The Astros are taking a swing at the Yankees
- Bucs offensive linemen are dropping like flies
- The Dolphins lost a first round pick & a third round pick for tampering with Brady & Sean Payton. The most dolphins thing ever is losing the picks AND not getting either of them
- The Padres just swooped in and stole Juan Soto from the Cardinals. Oh they also managed to get Josh Bell
- Paulson Adebo has been the star of training camp. Bringing in legit CB2 competition was a really great move
- Not sports related, but pizza rolls need to be renamed to “mini lava pockets” as I can no longer feel my tongue
- Hereby the irrational leader of the Chris Herndon bandwagon
- No for real… the Padres are going all out to win this year
- Jacob deGrom is BACK
- Honey Badger is BACK
- Trevor Penning ejected from practice after 3 days in a row of fights. I like his attitude, but how about we reel it back a little bit eh?
- Training camp all around the league has been full of fisticuffs
- Jesse Winker is absolutely hilarious! He called a fan in the outfield “four eyes” then tweeted this after the game
- Zach Wilson gonna lose his job to Joe Flacco?
- lol overnight the Padres became terrifying. Hello Slam Diego
- I’d have a better chance of winning the lottery without buying a ticket than hitting Sandy Alcantara’s slider
- Nothing screams must watch tv like a Jags vs Raiders preseason game
- What the hell was that dodgers celebration?
- Zamir White got the juice
- Yeah MT about to cut up
- Brandon Aiyuk is apparently a ball magnet in 49ers camp. Fantasy sleeper
- Kiko Alonso retired? Linebacker is a big YIKES for the saints
- Slam Ball is back? Excuse me while I go buy a trampoline and have my own set up at my house like the old days
These are certainly starting to get longer now that football season is here! Just makes these articles better! See y'all back here next week!
A quick share helps us a lot!

Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
