In Case You Missed It

My take on the events of the week


          Welcome to this week's, "In Case You Missed It."  These are my instant reactions to the things that took place across the sports landscape over the last week.  Many have opinions on these things, but here are mine!


This week in sports


  1. Nothing worse than losing a perfect game in the 9th inning 
  2. The top 100 players, as always, is a complete joke 
  3. Ohtani’s biggest flaw is that his favorite American food is In-n-out burger 
  4. The top 100 list just proves the players in the NFL are indeed not the sharpest tools in the shed 
  5. Myles Brennan has been at LSU since like 2001. He couldn’t stick it out 1 more year?
  6. Schefty says AK unlikely to be suspended this year, hello Super Bowl 
  7. Is it just me or does it feel like literally no one plays in preseason now?
  8. Matt Lefleur isn’t allowing 1 on 1s in practice. If he doesn’t want Mike to cook his number 1 corner he could just say so 
  9. Zion seems pissed. He’s coming to take souls this year
  10. Mike Clevinger trading a baseball for a beer is hilarious. He gets it


11. Jake Paul has the most horrific swing I’ve ever seen


12. Jake Paul is having a rough week

13. Pels with the greatest schedule announcement of all time. You get used to it.


14. Ohtani: 4 for 5 including a triple, home run and 4 RBIs. Angels lost 11-7. Just another day in Anaheim 

15. We’re on 700 watch for Pujols. One thing this whole country can agree on is he needs to get there this year 

16. Rangers prospect Josh Jung is not human 

17. Tom Brady has gone MIA and apparently Reddit thinks he’s off doing the Masked Singer 

18. This Saints & Packers games is so bad 

19. Best part of the night for the Saints was seeing Lutz all the way back 

20. OJ Howard is bill? 

21. What on Earth happened to Josh Hader? Did the Monstars get to him?


That'll do it for this week! Overall, an uneventful week, but as I've mentioned before, we're getting to the juicy part on the calendar quickly so stay tuned.

Twenty years ago, the city of New Orleans was forever changed. The "Rebirth" game when the Superdome reopened after Hurricane Katrina was more than a football game already. However, when Steve Gleason blocked the first punt of the game and it was returned for a touchdown, everyone in the building knew it was over.

BATON ROUGE -- No. 11 LSU did exactly what it was supposed to do Saturday night — and then some. The Tigers dominated McNeese from the opening whistle, rolling to a 63-14 victory inside Tiger Stadium while putting together one of the most productive offensive performances in school history. LSU finished with 731 yards of total offense , the second-most in a single game in program history. The Tigers also ran 101 offensive plays, setting a new school record. For head coach Lane Kiffin, though, the night was about more than piling up points against an FCS opponent. Kiffin Wants LSU Playing Its Standard LSU led 35-0 at halftime and had every reason to take its foot off the gas. Kiffin chose not to. When asked about using a running clock in the second half, Kiffin said LSU needed to continue playing its game. “You play the game and we decide when the game’s over, by the way that we play, and how physical that we play,” Kiffin said. That mentality showed up throughout the night. Even with the game firmly in hand, LSU continued to play with energy and gave plenty of younger players valuable snaps. Kiffin said the number of plays was particularly important because the Tigers will need that depth during the stretch ahead. “A lot of snaps for guys,” Kiffin said. “The goal was to get (that up) to evaluate those guys because they are going to need to play with the injuries we have down the stretch.” Offense Finds Plenty of Contributors Quarterback Sam Leavitt completed 18 of 23 passes for 176 yards and three touchdowns, while Corey Barber Jr. caught two touchdown passes. The running game was just as impressive. Harlem Berry rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown, while Stacy Gage added 110 yards and two touchdowns. Five different Tigers — Berry, Dilin Jones, Gage, Landen Clark and freshman defensive tackle Deuce Geralds — scored rushing touchdowns. Geralds' touchdown was particularly memorable. Kiffin joked afterward that he had checked with LSU historian and former Tiger Anthony “Booger” McFarland to determine whether anyone had previously recorded a sack and offensive touchdown in the same game. Kiffin said Geralds now holds the record outright. After a 35-6 victory over Texas A&M last week, LSU has now put together back-to-back dominant performances. The competition gets much tougher from here. But Saturday night showed that LSU has plenty of players capable of making plays — and Kiffin is making sure they understand the standard doesn't change simply because the opponent does. LSU is 4-1 and now turns its attention to Kentucky next Saturday on the road.
