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!

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.
