This is a subtitle for your new post
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 (Trail Blazers at Pelicans) Final Score: 120-143 Rebounds: 419-57 Assists: 27-36 Blocks: 7-8 Steals: 5-10 Turnovers: 15-8 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Shaedon Sharpe, 21; Trey Murphy III, 24 Rebound Leaders: Kris Murray, 9; Yves Missi, Saddiq Bey, 8 Assist Leaders: Deni Avdija, 6; Derik Queen, 7 My Player of the Game: Derik Queen Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Pelicans have won their fourth game of the season. Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
