In Case You Missed It

This week’s sports rundown


1.     The J. Rod show has arrived, but Juan Soto gets to celebrate with Bad Bunny in the end.

2.     Ronald Acuna was almost set on fire

3.     The MLB tried to stage a Pujols Derby win, but The Machine ran out of juice

4.     There’s a Derek Jeter doc. But Who gives a s***?

5.     Sean Payton says he’s probably coming back to coaching but doesn’t know the destination. So, he’s dead to me, but we’ll take those picks delivered straight to Airline Dr. Overnight delivery, please and thank you.

6.     The MLB All Star game happened. The AL won again. So, there’s that.

7.     They did unveil a new “Ump Cam” and then the ump proceeded to take a foul ball to the face. Timing… am I right? 

8.     Make Mic’d up pitchers permanent.

9.     The King Fish mascot that got decapitated by AJ Dillion is actually a tiny human that is 5’9 and runs cross country

10.  Mike Evans is a 99 in Madden 23. My only take away from that is that I apparently slept through an entire season. 

11.  Madden gave Kamara a 90 rating, and apparently Joe Mixon is better. More proof I entered a year long slumber at some point 

12.  James Harden is worth 34mil a year huh? Agree to disagree Philly 

13.  Kyler Murray got a BAG!! He is going to make more in a year than the A’s (team who drafted him in baseball) are paying their entire roster. 

14.  Michael Thomas on PUP to start camp. 550 days and counting

15.  Davenport also on PUP. Rinse and repeat 

16.  The Rams Super Bowl Rings… Holy S***

17.  Alternate helmets…. ALTERNATE HELMETS EVERYWHERE 

18.  Vince McMahon has officially retired. That’s a dirty old man 

19.  Inside the park grand slam?! WHAT????

20.  28-5 in a baseball game?! What happened to the mercy rule?? The Red Sox are incompetent 

21.  The rangers record lives!!!

22.  Alex Manoah talked trash to a batter after he struck him out and baseball people are furious with him.  How dare he have a personality in this sport? The nerve 


What to look out for next week


            Unfortunately, we’re in the dead period on the sport’s calendar.  It’s pretty much baseball and nothing else.  However, in baseball, keep an eye on the trade market with the trade deadline right around the corner.  We should start to see the rumor mill heat up.  Lastly, football is finally back.  Kinda.  Saints training camp starts Tuesday! Who Dat?


See y’all next week!

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025
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.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025
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 .
