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.

NOLA Gold's win over Seattle secures 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings

By Tina Howell • April 28, 2025
After a weather-delayed kickoff, loyal NOLA Gold fans were treated to a rollercoaster of a match that ended with a well-earned 44-36 victory over the Seattle Seawolves at the Shrine. This win moved NOLA Gold into 3rd place in the Major League Rugby Eastern Conference standings. Coach Danny Lee said of the team's response to the delay, “We just had to control the controllables. Once we told the boys the definitive time for kickoff, we had a plan ready to go. In terms of game plan, we had to be a little bit more direct, and we had to kick and adapt quickly.” NOLA Gold set the tone early, taking an initial 3-0 lead thanks to a steady penalty kick from Dorian Jones. Though Seattle answered quickly with a try to make it 7-3, the Gold launched into a dominant scoring stretch. Isaac Te Tamaki powered across the try line to ignite the offense, followed by back-to-back tries from the relentless Jonah Mau’u. Jones continued to add points from the tee, stretching the Gold’s lead to 27-7. Just before halftime, the Seawolves found a breakthrough and scored at the buzzer, narrowing the margin to 27-14. However, NOLA emerged from the locker room with purpose. Xavier Mignot wasted no time reestablishing momentum with a try that pushed the lead to 34-14. Seattle fought back with intensity, capitalizing on back-to-back tries to bring the score to 34-24. But NOLA responded with composure, as Jones added another penalty to keep the visitors at bay, 37-24. The closing stages of the match saw both teams exchanging blows. Seattle’s try was met by a decisive moment from Joe Taufete’e, who muscled through defenders for a critical score. Luke Campbell’s conversion extended the lead to 44-29. Though Seattle scored one final try at the buzzer, it wasn’t enough. With a final score of 44-36, NOLA Gold walked away with a crucial five-point win in front of a roaring home crowd and strengthens their postseason hopes with a firm grip on 3rd place in the East. Their next match will be on the road against the San Diego Legion on May 4th at 4:00 PM CT. For tickets and more details, please visit www.nolagoldrugby.com
